We didn’t need all these biographical Willy Wonka movies about who he is as a person. In the older versions, he’s obviously God or the Devil. You’re supposed to spend the entire story wondering which one and gradually become worried they’re the same being

In anticipation of a future I pray will never come, I've written the following. Yes, even in tragedy, there is hope... mine is that this poem will heal the wounds that divide us. It is called "Elegy; or, The Fall".

ELEGY; or, The Fall

Down, down, our Titan fell,
Hands stretched outward through the air.
Behind him streaked a comet's tail,
A burning trail of flaxen hair.

A crowd of cooks around him swept
To catch his body as he flew,
But mortal hands to flesh divine
The firmest grasp they cannot do.

The finger tips grazed by the cloth
Of navy jacket, crimson tie.
They struggled for a place to hold,
But found no purchase for the try.

His head lurched forward, jutting out,
And aimed, it seemed, toward the oil
That bubbled in a fryolator.
Fate set its arc, our dreams to foil.

A deaf'ning roar erupted then.
A rush of liquid spurted high.
The boiling splashes struck the walls
With bits of flesh and bits of fry.

For blocks around, a cry was heard,
A mighty bellow, deep and proud.
A tear was pulled from every eye.
"Our Titan!" wailed each voice aloud.

That mane of hair, the shade of gold,
Bobbed limply in the basket's foam.
A cashier spoke, "Lord, if you hear me,
Guide our mighty Titan home."

A ring of workers, some as young
As sixteen, which the law allows,
Encircled there and touched his back,
And wept beneath their lowered brows.

Then broke apart the sobbing crowd.
The manager, whose shift was done,
Stepped forth and said, "Remark this ground
For on it lies our holy one."

That golden sheen now wet with oil
Atop his head was aptly chose,
For high above, upon the roof,
Two arches of its color rose.

And with it, rising, light as air,
A spirit that could never die.
To Heaven, to be too their King
Look now! O! How our Titan flies!

all of history is moral compromises based on material conditions. we can either analyze them or we can stick our fingers in our ears. there’s a distressing number of anti-colonialists who do this sort of thing too, usually regarding how many people “should have” spoken out about some horror

🕯️faulkner’s buzzard🕯️ @faulknersbuzzard.bsky.social · 07/10/2026

never ceases to amaze how much people will rewrite history in their brains to fit the model of something they would *like* to be true, such as “Christian missionaries always had the purest of motives and intentions”. this is how you get colonialism apologia, folks

what seems to motivate Dems to make attack ads more than anything else in the whole world is if someone is running to their left in a Dem primary. that’s when they take the gloves off. kind of makes you wonder who the “opposition party” is opposed to

🕯️faulkner’s buzzard🕯️ @faulknersbuzzard.bsky.social · 06/10/2026

I see it almost every single commercial break. this is what non-voters are seeing and learning through repetition, not “Donald Trump would just as soon see you dead and here he is saying exactly that”

🕯️faulkner’s buzzard🕯️ @faulknersbuzzard.bsky.social · 06/10/2026

what’s the commercial I see over and over while I’m trying to watch playoff baseball or football on network tv? I’ll tell you: it is an absolutely abhorrent anti-trans ad put up by some nazi PAC

110

🕯️faulkner’s buzzard🕯️ @faulknersbuzzard.bsky.social · 06/10/2026

the vast majority of non-voters don’t watch the news or follow the news on social media. talk of a scandal on CNN only reaches the kind of people who are already watching something like CNN. they watch sports and regular tv though

120

🕯️faulkner’s buzzard🕯️ @faulknersbuzzard.bsky.social · 06/10/2026

it strikes me there are a whole lot of things Dems and their PACs could be putting in their commercials to try and reach non-voters (the only camp that would be decisive with such strong dividing lines already between active voters) that they simply aren’t. makes you wonder why

Alito doesn’t give two shits about “religious liberty”, and he knows it. all he cares about is that under no circumstances can traditional Christian denominations lose their currently privileged cultural and legal status

020

🕯️faulkner’s buzzard🕯️ @faulknersbuzzard.bsky.social · 06/10/2026

it is deeply, profoundly stupid to suggest that religious liberty is *impinged* by a rejection of the notion that state-recognized marriage must adhere to traditional Christian guidelines. religious liberty is *enriched* by marriage equality. there is no logical alternative “point of view”.

in hindsight I’m not even sure how much he was calling it out, given that Yellowstone provided nazis with about a billion memes (remember all those “take Biden to the train station” t-shirts?) and Sheridan didn’t say a peep about it

but the problem isn’t Lioness per se, it’s Taylor Sheridan, who started out in a questionable place already and has only sunk deeper into his maga hole as his fame and wealth has increased
