AMA about Dune, a book I have never read whose film adaptations I haven’t seen.
Even two weeks later I’m still digging it out of everything.
Until observed, they’re here and there.
Because someone erase her head.
If you like the way they do it, they’re the best.
Yes, and Sting plays the previously unknown Underwear Spice.
On Dune, there is a “have a path, leave a path, need a path, take a path” jar. They’re casual.
I’m a Spice Calvinist, so I think Spice God predestines you for Spice Agony.
It just goes sniff sniff sniff like anyone else.
Yes. Particularly his sky-hook.
Holy shit let’s all hope so.
His name is Noam Chomsky and he’s an elder statesman. Show some respect.
Not much; where’s the dune with you?
Look I didn’t realize this was going to be about nerd shit.
Hey, Wilson, you have to know enough about it to avoid putting it in your eyes.
One bucketful at a time until you have a massive hillock.
He’s doing the salt-and-pepper beard community proud.
*A* robot?

No.
That’s private.
You risk starting a dance dance revolution.
Happy to do it. The spice was trying to convince Paul to steal the Glengarry leads—a plot thread whose resolution is left deliberately unresolved at the end of the act, in order to make the reveal that Jamis was the thief more dramatic.

Spice is for closers only.
All we are is dust in the wind, dune.
Hitman Martin Dune, returned to his hometown for his 10 year high school reunion.
It’s an anagram for “Nude” so you tell me.
Yep!
They’re highlanders.
Yikes, I try to steer clear of political questions.
Because no one knows what it’s like
To be the bad man
To be the sad man
No, he has to return to the man-village.
Yes, iff’n round is funny.
It’s a THREEpublic.
Ayyyy, fuggedarrakis
It’s what Dani Rojas makes when he kicks the bhola.

Futball is spice!
For rolling down? No.
For exorcisms? Also no.
In some version of 9th dimensional reality, yes.
It was either that or kill the filibuster.
In Gesserit Russia, worm rides you.

Make it a $12 trillion package, put everything back in, and run it every single day.

Every single night, address the nation and name each person who voted against it, and each thing that they were opposing.

Make their unwillingness to do the work of the people their problem.
Billboards. Road signs. Bumper stickers. The sides of barns. Hire skywriters and publish the things that are going up for a vote every day, and the people who are preventing it from happening.

These Are The Senators Who Refuse To Do Their Jobs
Frame it as what it is, which is refusing to work. Refusing to find solutions to problems. Existing only to prolong suffering. Stealing paychecks and taking bribes.

These Are The Senators Who Refuse To Work

List the names.

The far right is mainstream Republicanism and it intends violent suppression of all aspects of free open modern society, and our only real choice is whether we fight them in power or out of power.
When someone is trying to stab you, you don’t get to choose whether or not someone is trying to stab you. Your choice is what to do about it.

Republicans intend harm. It’s not subtle.
Using unfounded conspiratorial claims of pedophilia as a self-justifying rationale for anti-societal, anti-democratic terror also isn't a far-right position, but it is a far-right tactic, and an increasingly prevalent one.

Chappelle approaching the repeated complaints of an extremely marginalized community with the thoughtfulness and self-reflection of a medieval king petitioned by unruly peasants.
It's really sad to see this.
Hopefully none of us would be OK with a comic, even an otherwise marginalized comic (like say a trans comic), even one known for speaking truth to power, deciding for 4 sequential specials to do bits on how they saw the struggle for Black liberation as a "hilarious predicament." Image

Both Sides - Part 2: Beyond Reproach

"Here's something I've noticed about being Beyond Reproach: you can't ever improve. You can only defend your perfection."

getrevue.co/profile/julius…
Which means that, if you are Beyond Reproach, you have to close yourself off most especially to perspectives that say "I deserve to live in this world, and you are making that difficult."
*Especially* those perspectives, because they carry a moral imperative. They speak to harm and damage, of injustice, of wrong that requires redress. They force a choice: to listen and change, or to refuse.

They are, at their essence, reproachful.

New idea for boosting the economy:

Let's take it as a given that billionaires are right, and the reason they have extraordinary wealth is their natural ability to succeed in a merit-based system.

Fine. Good. Take ALL their wealth.

They'll easily make more. Think how much more!
I mean, they are the masters of our meritocracy, right? They're visionaries who can overcome any obstacle, right? Much better than the rest, of far greater worth.

Let them show us how they do it. Start from 0. Wow us.

Think how much more wealth and innovation there'll be!
Think how easy they'll find it, given what masters of our meritocracy they are.

We're giving them a gift: of ennobling hard work. A chance to pull themselves up by the ol' straps.

It's like when Mario gets enough coins the counter resets. It's not theft; it's a free life!

Arrest all these people immediately. Clean house at all levels of government. We’re really running out of time.
That’s been happening every day for years.
The sheer volume of what should be country-rocking scandals and exposes we’ve had to absorb w/o any consequences at all is mind-boggling, yet there are still complacent liberals out there who think the process is working fine and the problem is the left isn’t voting hard enough.
