why pity the shallow super-rich? she’s probably recovering in a $100k-a-day spa somewhere.

he was engaged in expensive medical research, for which he got a $10k per diem from the company

“not tribal land” is a very problematic label. tons of history to unpack there :(

it was deliberate. they didn’t act until they received a map of the sacred sites’ exact locations. the map was provided by the protesters to help them AVOID things. instead, they used it as a map of bulldozer TARGETS.

you’ve been learning to talk from Trump! he uses the same flippant trick

she showed such courage, speaking up against the director who cast her, but she took it all back in the end, with this “regardless of what I think...I still don’t actually know” garbage.

the Bob Dylan song made me always love the woman’s name Isis :) it’ll outlast those middle-eastern gangsters.

down with the nobodies! victory to the rich and famous!

your husband’s mouth? are you ok? blink twice for no

oddly, it’s highly revered in film schools too. like “triumph of the will”. amazing how genuine artistic skill (like science) is completely amoral.

there’s some risk of over-reach here, sorry to say. i’ll go back and re-watch the original Ring. ...well the american verison anyway! or find the japanese version!

protesters should mob the meetings of conservative groups, with signs saying “stop protesting at abortion clinics”. Act exactly like them. mirror image those b!tches, see how they like it. it would take dedication. the other side has that.

science leads to hubris and atom bombs

check out Chris Hedges. I didn’t know the words “Christian” and “Left” could be put together before him. he softened my view on religion’s role in the world. needn’t be bad.

sorry for the tangent. i’m enjoying the Parker discussions here.

I’m with Chomsky and Zinn and the others, who are deeply inspired by the Haitan rebellion - the only successful rebellion of slaves against their owners. it terrified southern slaveowners, who strengthened the police state.

brilliant way to shed light on something that’s been unchanged, ignored, and repugnant for generations.

i never knew engagement rings existed until i was in college. my mom never had one, so i thought the sole adornment for everyone was a plain golden band. i loved the understated-ness of it. showing off isn’t possible with one of those. a leveler:)
