Remember: the only people who say this want to see Trump win. You can vote with your conscience all you want, but it’s only mathematically possible for only one of two parties to get elected.
If third parties or independents actually wanted a shot, they’d put in the work outside of elections, building coalitions and locally from the ground up.
Just a heads up as of a few hours ago the windows installer is broken.
I think the missing link is viable raw photo management and color space transforms. Photoshop is just built well for that. But in terms of drawing Krita blows Potatoshop out of the water
Nothing you said necessarily contradicts what I wrote. These are lofty ideas. We should all be striving for ultimate justice. Native Americans should have their lands returned; descendants of slaves should have economic reparations; and so forth.
But how far do we turn back the clock and what is the net benefit? At some point you have to pick a time stamp and freeze history. Otherwise we could sit here endlessly picking arbitrary points to restore the time machine.
But maybe instead of focusing so much on the what we should be focusing on the how. Ultimately everyone wants some measure of justice. Talk to Palestinians or Jews: each will have a different interpretation or vision of justice means to them. But how do we get there?
kids born to settler privilege are supposed to give the land back.
Ok. How are you going to accomplish that exactly? What does this sentiment or statement accomplish in terms of ending the current suffering that is happening? I’m not sure I understand what these declarations are intended to convey or who the audience is?
Sam Reich is the goat
Never heard of Qobuz. Been looking to replace yt music. Their algorithm is trash.
I think it’s trying too hard to be Star Wars - 21st century edition. Villeneuve’s strength is that he can make the weird engaging and palatable while keeping that edge. There just wasn’t enough weirdness in the Dune movies to set it apart. The cinematography and production were great but overall felt underwhelmed. Even 2049 had enough interesting compelling weird elements. I understand he’s under immense pressure from the studio to do his thing so I can’t fault him either.
Oh interesting. Yes, I agree. There is for sure a strong fantasy element in Dune. It would be impossible to divorce it from that. I think Villeneuve maybe leaned too far in the sci fi futuristic aesthetic. I found a lot of the Villeneuve Dune costumes quite uninspiring, but then again I have a lot of criticisms of that series.
Even if all of what you’re saying is true (it’s not), the clock of time is not going back. The founding of the United States is built on the spilled blood of native Americans. What are kids born in the US today supposed to do? This type of clinging to the past to justify any contemporary analysis is the reason things aren’t moving forward.
I love Moebius as an artist, but I think these are stylistically too captured by the 70s fantasy genre. It’s possible Jodorowsky had a heavy hand in this since he wanted to go the whole super Christ god being with the narrative. If you look at Moebius other work The Metabarons it’s far more futuristic and inventive.
Are they still around though? I think they filed for bankruptcy. The jeezus wannabe ceo was a good con artist.
Her essays are also superb.
Not a book exactly, but East of West would make for some great narrative and world building.
Stellan Skarsgård as Judge would be terrifying. Not sure a out accent.
Waves (2019)
Exceptional movie. Highly recommend
Thanks.
The issue is I am argumentative. I like having disagreents and most of all I like hearing different points of view. If this sounds like a vanilla take, it’s because it is.
If I disagree with people on fb or insta or ask to verify the facts of an event there I will get push back or I will learn something new. I will also hear some combative words. Nothing strange.
If I ask about the facts of the matter here:
“blocked”
“troll”
“fuck you you cuntfuck defender of Kyle Rittenhouse. Eat dick.”
“I have you labeled as conservative cuck”
On. And on. And on. But it’s OK, because apparently asking for facts is justification to garner this, right?
What gives?
I think you’re right. Hot button topics are just to be avoided I guess or fare repercussion.
How can we avoid being captured by epistemic bubbles though? That’s the part that scares me.
Everyone we don’t like is a troll. You’re a troll. Here you go. Is that better?
Wow. So brave. Watch out, don’t cut yourself on all that edge
