these are our pianos, not theirs! I know this stuff can feel secondary with all of the immediate pain this admin causes, but in the face of such personalism, it also feels important to assert the democratic principle that these cultural inheritances don't belong to the president, they belong to us

There's a bit in Howard Hawks mobbed up screwball romcom Ball of Fire where Barbara Stanwyck's diminutive but titular firecracker stacks up books to stand on until she's tall enough to kiss Gary Cooper's pent up professor that will never not do me in.

THE LAST JEDI was a brilliant STAR WARS movie that nonetheless broke the brains of way too many people angry about it. The people who don't like this movie aren't even engaging with the movie so much as they are with outrage of YouTubers who told them what they saw and how to hate it

People need to understand the people leading the AI industry, transhumanist/longtermist/EA movements, and tech broadly, as died-in-the-wool pseudoscientists, denialists (climate change, the holocaust), and crank purveyors of conspiritualist woo of the highest order. The height of Rationalism.

Well. We’re living through a reactionary regressive backlash and trapped between moronic bond villains who want it to be the gilded age again and dipshits so delusional they don’t think they’re also bad “guys” because they “only” want it to be like 1992 again.

“So while sexist marketing like this is harmful to women & girls, it isn’t doing men any favors either. Corporations that want to exploit men…make them willing participants in their own exploitation, using sexism (& racism) to fool them into feeling like they’re in charge, like they hold the power.”

In 1985's Red Sonja, what could have been a thrilling story of female empowerment gets bogged down by rampant misogyny, homophobia, and boring clichés that makes it feel like bad Conan fanfiction. Does the film have any redeeming qualities?
