As a Xennial, I feel like the answer is "This is your brain on drugs" got heavier play for the younger X/eldest Millennials. "I learned it by watching you" came first and has real late 70s/early 80s vibes. "This is your brain on drugs" had a 2nd wave with Millennial sweetheart Rachel Leigh Cook.

FATALITY
A tweet from Joyce Carol Oates: overall takeaway from the Curtis Yarvin profile is that there must be millions of smart-aleck show-offy kids who annoy their teachers and go on to annoy other adults through their lives with their “contrarian” pose that hardens to a carapace over their faces; until, as adults, they still harbor a delusion that, if there is a king, or a fuhrer, he’d be impressed with the guys motor mouth and appoint him to his cabinet rather than deleting him with a negligent swipe of his wrist as Stalin did routinely.

The newspapers now are essentially gaming apps with an op-ed page attached that occasionally calls powerful people to ask what’s going on and reports what they say as news. Journalism as we think of it does not exist, at least at the national level. And the local papers are dying by the day.

There were more men in a single documented gang rape at one school than the number of competitive trans athletes nationally. But I’ve heard a lot more politicians being asked about protecting girls from one of these scenarios and not another… I’ll let you guess which is which.

Given that Netanyahu has already threatened Naza's directors, the film deserves loud and full-throated support and I hope the U.S. film community steps up for it. Hopefully he's just Streisand-effected the movie into getting the large audience that it absolutely merits.

Abdul El-Sayed on Israel:

My foreign policy views are very simple. I just think we should be the first among equals to enforce international law. 

I would argue that Israel is the greatest outlier when it comes to the behavior of the government of Israel relative to the approbation you would expect them to get versus what they actually get.

They've been able to sustain an apartheid system, which is the only thing you can call sustained nearly six decade long occupation of a people in Gaza and the West Bank.

They did a genocide in Gaza. They led us into a war. Benjamin Netanyahu came to the situation room, made the argument for a war. He finally had a dupe big enough who was willing to do it. 

But think about war aims. We had no clear war aims for that war. Israel had clear war aims. And one of those big war aims seems to be setting up for the annexation of southern Lebanon.

And we do all of this and all of this has been done while our stated policy in the region is that we believe in a two-state solution, which is wild because we're aiding, arming, and abetting the very government that is attempting to foreclose on the possibility of a second state openly.

And so I'm just saying that we should treat Israel the way we treat any other country that did the same stuff.

It's great to see tailoring accommodate such extreme movement today. This level of tailoring was a bit more common in the past, as you can see in old films featuring Fred Astaire or Gene Kelly, but many modern suits will lift off the wearer's neck even when they're just walking.

Mark Allen Shepherd as Morn on the set of "Emissary", STAR TREK: DEEP SPACE NINE (1993)
Mark Allen Shepherd as Morn in his seat at Quark's (note the lack of replicator and generally unfinished look of the set) during production of "Emissary".

Morn originated as a sketch based on a bulldog which Makeup Supervisor Michael Westmore drew on the back of a shooting script. According to Westmore, the Morn mask underwent several revisions to fit alongside the franchise's aliens before it was approved by the producers: "Several heads were made for Morn to appear in DS9: 'Emissary'... some of the heads they felt were a little too far out, that they weren't quite STAR TREK."
