bluefugue.bsky.social @bluefugue.bsky.social · 06/10/2026The whole avoiding-weight-on-the-heels thing could be a sign of plantar fasciitis (fasciosis?). Insert joke here about planetary fascism. 000
bluefugue.bsky.social @bluefugue.bsky.social · 06/10/2026That's an impeachable offense. I hope if we get the house back we just put a small team on filing impeachment charges for all of his dozens of impeachable offenses. People might say it would cheapen the proceeding; I say not doing it cheapens it more. 040
bluefugue.bsky.social @bluefugue.bsky.social · 28/09/2026I find Sophie Scholl instructive. She was an absolute hero. But her astonishing courage accomplished little, because it was applied too late. If more people had had 1/100th of it 10 years earlier it might have mattered. By '43 only millions of angry Russians could end Nazism. 050
bluefugue.bsky.social @bluefugue.bsky.social · 28/09/2026I get the honey/vinegar thing, up to a point. But nobody ever congratulated me for not being a racist jerk. It was just expected of me. I think that's a good thing, a sign that I have been surrounded by more or less sane people. 150

Money coming and going. Only way you lose is having normal opinions like “racism bad” bsky.app/profile/trac... 4954231200

bluefugue.bsky.social @bluefugue.bsky.social · 03/09/2026I've worked full time all but maybe 3 years since 1997. When I wasn't working full time it was because I had been laid off and was struggling to find work, and in such times I grabbed such gig work and part-time employment as I could find. 000
bluefugue.bsky.social @bluefugue.bsky.social · 30/08/2026I like the people on BlueSky but am increasingly convinced that "thousands of people slinging ~200 character messages at each other" is a horrible mode of communication. It's good for weather reports and "check out this link" stuff, I guess. Otherwise it's tailor-made for anger and misunderstanding. 000
bluefugue.bsky.social @bluefugue.bsky.social · 30/08/2026Watterson made bank and then backed the fuck away from it all. Wish I could do the same. Sadly, I didn't create one of the greatest comic strips of all time. 010
bluefugue.bsky.social @bluefugue.bsky.social · 28/08/2026I've been reading pretty consistently since the LA Weekly days, around the time when Bush Jr. was elected. 000
bluefugue.bsky.social @bluefugue.bsky.social · 28/08/2026Not subtle or original, but basically expresses my thoughts on the matter. 000
bluefugue.bsky.social @bluefugue.bsky.social · 23/08/2026I'd say Beatles 1 just on the merits of the songs therein. That it barely scratches the surface of what made them great says something about the Beatles. Otherwise, A Decade of Steely Dan is pretty darn good. 000

bluefugue.bsky.social @bluefugue.bsky.social · 24/07/2026Well, it's about the only Star Wars movie that I liked since 1983 (and I had serious reservations about Jedi as an 8 year old, by the way; I felt the Ewoks were total pandering). Good thing there were so many great Star Wars videogames. 010

bluefugue.bsky.social @bluefugue.bsky.social · 16/07/2026McTiernan is a very good director but I guess I'd better rewatch Hunt. I don't remember anything about the third act being that good. (For reference my 'highest tier of H'wood action filmmaking' is going to be stuff like peak Cameron (Aliens, first half T2), peak Spielberg (Raiders) etc.) 000

bluefugue.bsky.social @bluefugue.bsky.social · 09/07/2026Sigh. I thought we fought a war to settle all this. Of course, I thought we fought another war in 1939-45 to settle other things. The beat goes on. 000
bluefugue.bsky.social @bluefugue.bsky.social · 08/07/2026Sigh. I hope carbon dioxide alters its chemical reactions out of respect for international spats. I'm sure it will, though. It's a nice fellow. 000
bluefugue.bsky.social @bluefugue.bsky.social · 01/07/2026Rhetoric has been considered an essential element of political power since at least Demosthenes and probably millennia before that. Performing is part of the gig. 010

bluefugue.bsky.social @bluefugue.bsky.social · 20/06/2026Interestingly, a bit of Googling shows that in 2012 Romney made a birtherism joke that could equally be interpreted as making fun of birthers, or agreeing with them on the DL. Always tough to ride that right wing tiger. www.motherjones.com/politics/201... 010
bluefugue.bsky.social @bluefugue.bsky.social · 20/06/2026Of course, any time anyone complains about a right wing candidate's rhetoric, it's back to the usual "fuck your feelings, politics is a contact sport" bit. 020

bluefugue.bsky.social @bluefugue.bsky.social · 19/06/2026I think Lifeboat is one of Hitchcock's most unpretentious, lean-and-mean thrillers. And it has that urgency of movies made about the war during the war. 010
