Ayn Rand reviews children's movies “Mary Poppins” A woman takes a job with a wealthy family without asking for money in exchange for her services. An absurd premise. Later, her employer leaves a lucrative career in banking in order to play a children’s game. —No stars. Brilliant by @newyorker.com

Ayn Rand Reviews Children’s Movies

“Willy Wonka & the Chocolate Factory”: An excellent film. The obviously unfit are winnowed out, and an enterprising young boy receives a factory.

This is how we get entities stronger than nation states. This is what dystopian sci-fi has warned about. The US may pat themselves on the back and say "the largest two of these are American", but that fails to realize that we're Dr. Frankenstein and capitalism is the monster we brought to life.

These stories about US Gestapo (aka "ICE") are incredibly depressing reading. Most of this isn't covered by international news, and if it were the US would look like what it is: a police state under a fascist government. www.reddit.com/r/AskReddit/...

I didn't know what to use Bluesky for, but now it came to me: this is where I'll post my occasional philosophical rants about #popculture. Like why it is existential in nature. And why "finer arts" is elitist if used in another way than as a reference to "old arts".

This is Dante (named after Dante in Coco due to similar levels of derp-ness). He was six months old when he was taken off the streets by animal control in Torreveja and put in a killing station. The Municipal Animal Shelter rescued him, and he spent the next six months there. #DogsOfBluesky

A first-person perspective of me laying on the chaise lounge of our couch, in a room with blue wallpaper with a pattern of white sailing boats.

On my legs is the upside-down head of a black-and-white dog who is looking right into the camera. His teeth are more like teef, and the upside down pose makes him look extra derpy.

In the background, on the wall a TV is displaying the Mercenaries menu from Assassin's Creed Odyssey, and to the right of it a window where we can glean a snowy landscape.

The way UHC is structure and works is tantamount to corporate death panels. This is a libertarian dystopia straight out of Murderbot Diaries. youtu.be/jZQpsy768-8

Health insurance executives in the US are afraid (and completely delulu). Look at this pledge that someone working at a health insurance consultant was asked to sign. Note that point 5 only is about executives. www.reddit.com/r/antiwork/c... #DenyDefendDepose

Here's a Swedish word du jour: "Morsgris" - (lit. "mama's pig") a person who is spoiled and pampered by their mother, and overly dependent on her especially in adult age like Pete Hegseth.

This explains perfectly the strange political landscape in Sweden where the Liberal Party traditionally has been lumped in with the conservative parties. They both want the same thing: individual freedom, which somewhere between liberal and conservative becomes justification of selfishness.
