Very grateful to @thefridacinema.org for programming The History of Concrete. A multilayered masterpiece that I was grateful to see with a very appreciative audience.

Opening commissions for the next week! And this time, with a twist: you can, for the first (and maybe the last) time, commission a full four panel comic from me! Note that I reserve the right to refuse commissions, yadda yadda, you get two revisions for free, etc. etc. Thanks!

i agree with the key point here and will add to it that there IS a reward, it’s knowing you did one right thing instead of walking around plagued by the nameless shame that afflicts all men who are determined to live the most frictionless lives possible

I'm under no illusions about how things are or what the trajectory is. But I'm also excited for the future because that is where I will hang out with the people I care about and do the things I like doing, or haven't done before. Weird but telling that this holds less appeal for much richer people.

A useful way to think about it is to imagine a republican candidate saying one thing that you liked, agreeing with you on exactly one issue. That would totally work, right? Donald Trump announces he’s for one thing you are also for and then you vote for him. See how stupid it sounds.

The thought of portraying Jesus as a female lion (or a male lion voiced by a woman) should not offend a Christian more than the thought of portraying Jesus as a beast in the first place. "Aslan is literally Jesus" is already a MUCH bigger theological stretch than "...and sounds like Meryl Streep."

If you're writing a Popular Literary Novel and looking to shift some units, you can't just make a literary reference and hope people catch it. You have to have another character think "He's quoting Althusser - and incorrectly at that" so the reader feels smart by proxy.

There is zero reason for politicians to be talking about "trans issues" except as a result of a 100% bad faith campaign of bullying and bigotry and it is important to point that out whenever the topic is raised, or you grant bigots legitimacy they don't deserve. www.hamiltonnolan.com/p/you-have-t...

These days, I often clutch at the following poem like a life preserver. RIP Wendell Berry, the world is a little bit brighter for having your words in it.

The Wendell Berry poem "A Discipline":

Turn toward the holocaust, it approaches
on every side, there is no other place
to turn. Dawning in your veins
is the light of the blast
that will print your shadow on stone
in a last antic of despair
to survive you in the dark.
Man has put his history to sleep
in the engine of doom. It flies
over his dreams in the night,
a blazing cocoon. O gaze into the fire
and be consumed with man’s despair,
and be still, and wait. And then see
the world go on with the patient work
of seasons, embroidering birdsong
upon itself as for a wedding, and feel
your heart set out in the morning
like a young traveler, arguing the world
from the kiss of a pretty girl.
It is the time’s discipline to think
of the death of all living, and yet live.

Protest that endures, I think, is moved by a hope far more modest than that of public success: namely, the hope of preserving qualities in one's own heart and spirit that would be destroyed by acquiescence. Wendell Berry, What Are People For?

The day had to come, but knowing that makes it no easier. It's no tragedy when a man dies at the end of his life. His own words, roughly. Rest in peace, Mr. Berry.

I, too, thought Coyote vs Acme was great, and all we got were incredibly unfunny trailers for, like, Angry Birds 3 and that movie about "cute" aliens with Timothee Chalamet, none of which were audibly praised by our audience. Cinemark messed up!

It does not feel like a coincidence that, much like Mr. Rogers, Dolly Parton, also a Christian, sent notes with her books saying how proud she was of kids. She tried to reaffirm the idea that children were fearfully and wonderfully made in the image of Christ and therefore are worthy.

So many parallels: Advances followed by brutal backlashes. Hatred cloaked in concern about "fairness" and "undue influence" on children. Insistence that it's a medical/mental problem. Rage at cultural institutions that "promote a lifestyle." Invective about "special rights." Malevolent statehouses.

This fits with the stereotype of the lazy Mexican. How can people so lazy be stealing all the jobs? Racism has no logic except to demonize and dehumanize, although racists don't realize that they are the ones becoming less human and more demonic, while the people they hate have always been human.
