Today @Fred_Watson_II has a reciew of #Joker with “Joker: Making A Mass Shooter” theamericansun.com/2019/11/06/jok…
As written clearly, the movie is like a documentary for the lives and backgrounds of the young men who go werewolf and shoot up schools and workplaces. That it is set in 1981 hides this slightly.
It is all there. Media not mentioning it is because they do not want to admit it. Fear of incel shootings at screenings acts as an unconscious admission. After a generation of Hollywood making sympathetic villains, why did the media hate this sympathetic portrayal of a lunatic?

I'm listening to the Kamala x Call Her Daddy podcast because it's time to check in on the core single 30yo women demographic. A 🧵
Note that I know very little about this podcast other than an impression that it's basically vintage Cosmo
I also find it interesting the podcasts Trump vs Kamala go on as they try to get engagement from their demographically core but marginally engaged constituencies. Anyway, podcast

The problem is that "making money" is littered with principal/agent problems, which are exacerbated when "Hollywood accounting" is a shorthand for "ha ha yeah we've been structuring fraud and money laundering thru film production for >100 years"
It is notoriously possible to make back a film's budget thru local tax rebates and grants. Distribution as a separate service makes it extremely possible that the one-off production co is "losing money", the distributor "making money", and everyone nonetheless getting paid
Generally whenever someone says "well all they care about is making money" they are being an idiot and ignoring market microstructure in favor of just-so "the corporation is a unitary rational actor" fantasies

It's not just that individual houses are strongpoints - the entire layout of the suburbs functions as a defense-in-depth. 🧵
In the city, one can build or buy an apartment block containing hundreds of units, destroying neighborhood demography at a stroke. In neighborhoods of single family housing, 99% of units aren't even on the market, making neighborhood takeover a process that takes minimally months
Preventing the construction of units that Change The Character of the Neighborhood, ie disrupt the pricing distribution or demography, is of course the primary goal of suburban zoning and development boards.

It's farcical to claim that they cannot get an injunction against wish et al to clean up their listings, or get the apps delisted. So I conclude they want this situation to continue and escalate.
Deshtwaun in Chicago does not have A Guy in Shenzhen he's siphoning monero to, afaict all this is thru commerical channels with huge identifiable chokepoints
One interesting thing about the ATF is that they generally respond to letters even if the response is uninformative, not a bad idea for a congressman who wants to make some hay to inquire about what licensing a platform for third party international d2c mg sales might require

The idea that the constitution requires a state to be prevented from responding to a British invasion in 1812 or a Mexican invasion in 1845 is farcical.
You're not talking about states closing federal ports of entry, which would be unconstitutional - they're responding to an illegal infiltration by amongst other things armed foreign paramilitary forces
The contention is that a company strength formation busts across the border and? That literally happened repeatedly over a hundred years ago and absolutely no one had a problem with an armed state response.

Just in time for Halloween, All Quiet is basically shot as a horror movie. It's a little bit of a shame that it leans into all the "charging into machine gun nests" tropes, which gives an inaccurate view of the real horror and pointlessness of the war.
I'm not a big FACT CHECK guy if the aesthetics pan out and the thematic elements line up, but in this case the "charging into mg nests" trope leans into the "war is pointless, man, why don't they just, like, stop" memeplex. The actual horror is you *can't* stop.
It was, relatively speaking, straightforward to take a trench with variations on "shell the hell out of it first". The problem was that it's trench 1 of 5 or so, you can't easily bring up supplies, and they can. You can trade trenches all day, but not break through.
