START to end (if there’s such a thing)
this treatment of WATCHMEN—(dare I say ‘Season 1’)
was GENIUS

@DamonLindeIof treated the topic, the audience, the technology, the morality—with total respect.

LOVED the egg
timeless metaphor of the arrow of time.

And THIS superposition—
The poster from 15 weeks ago.

She was blue. Nobody suspected a damn thing.

GENIUS.
And the Dreamland theater—-

whose lights get knocked out after Adrien’s squid attack...

“Dr. M”

GENIUS!

1/ PRIVACY will be bifurcating form of INEQUALITY

Rich will have it
(literally: private plane, cars, private school, private security, private club)

Poor will not
(public transp., public schools, public police, public parks)

The demand...
Bedroom, Bathroom, Bank account...
2/ The demand for PRIVACY will be in 3 B’s

Bedroom
Bathroom
Bank Account

the extreme poor + extreme rich
care less about privacy for Bank Account

Extreme rich publicly flaunt art, home purchases + rich-list inclusion
Extreme poor publicly joke ‘i’m deadass broke’

Who cares?..
3/ The people who care about PRIVACY for bank account are all in middle who fear judgment + jockey for status

They may make $ X
but want people to think they make 2x-3x $ X

while extreme rich + extreme poor
are respectively boastful + begrudging
truthful in revelation of status

1/ On “The Irishman”

—i relished what felt like a last visit w/these characters (Pacino, DeNiro, Keitel, Pesci) playing characters—unlikely to do something together again.

—my 2 fave scenes (spoiler alert)

#1
the very end of THIS scene
What is said 👀 WITHOUT saying a word👀
2/
 Then this scene (#2) with the foreshadowing symbolism of the door ajar
We are curious as Frank: why Hoffa left it open?
a sign of trust? vulnerability?
A symbolic invitation into his life?
A literal invitation?
of fear of being alone?
3/ *Spoiler Alert*

This final scene.

Frank want his door ajar—he’s inherited Hoffa’s same fear of loneliness hoping to call for help—or confident trust, guilty vulnerability, the acceptance of death at the door, symbolically coming for him (or an agent of death as he was)

One year ago, @fisheriesSOM signed MoU with China Overseas Fisheries Association and granted 31 fishing licenses to fish inside Somali EEZ. This is ⬇️ what happens when greed, bad negotiation, corruption, and neocolonialism all meet together. I am not surprised sadly. (thread) /1
2018 no fishing vs 2019 Chinese scouring in Somali waters chasing tuna into their feeding grounds @fisheriesSOM officials said they fish only 3 months of tuna season. Fishing 10 months in a year what fishing season is that? Renewed for 2020!! Here I am proving them wrong #tech /2
You know what's worse than their bad decision?

Finding out that warlords used to generate more revenue from fishing licenses. They knew better they were selling their resources.

Licensing commercial fishing will be forever a shameful chapter in the current administration. /3

1) A (video) lesson in recent history:

Donald Trump's first big splash politics came in April 2011, on ABC's The View: He pissed off everyone by promoting the hoax "Birther" theories about President Obama's birth certificate. Fox's Greta Van Susteren had first dibs that night.
2) Next up was Bill O’Reilly. This interview gave us an important preview of Trump as an Islamophobe: “We have a Muslim problem in the world.”
3) They talked about the birth certificate too, naturally. Trump lied, claiming the “live birth” certificate Obama originally provided was insufficient (it was, in fact, sufficient proof of citizenship for every other Hawaii-born politician before and after).

▶️Why couldn't they be more creative in counter protest? Always calling people who disagree with the Sino-centrsm as 'traitors'. 😩👇😖

💡'hàn jiān' (漢奸) original meaning in Chinese, someone who betrays 'Han' dynasty.

❓Han Dynasty had long gone.

Now, every country knows there're 'thuggish students' from this 'great country,' calling people ' hàn jiān'(Han traitors'

They could've been more creative.
