Thinking Live with Ruth Ben-Ghiat on Iran, Strongmen, and more YouTube video by Victor Shi

I think about this, but I also think about how Brecht, Camus, Weil, and a host of others also did so much of their work during that time.

Seeing all these posts in the U.S. saying stuff like “things are dark right now, but you’re allowed to feel joy!” and I’m curious if that’s what the Germans told each other as they were letting their government ship people to concentration camps.

when I go walking in the hills and the coyote pack starts yipping I say to them in my thoughts “come to me my children” and imagine them carrying me off into the wilderness

yeah our value favoritism based on our varying relationships with differing species is weak

Yeah, I don’t think I can project myself into their refusal to abandon norms from a bygone era. Just don’t get it.

one of the first feature scripts I wrote was along these lines, a romcom set in the 90s about an oblivious midwest couple during the Gulf War

Logical conclusion: schoolgirls are acceptable military targets according the most advanced AI and also the unapologetic misogynists in charge

Huh, neat coincidence

listening to the First Aid Kit tribute to Leonard Cohen, it’s pretty good, I like the group reading of “The Asthmatic”

absolutely insane the Senate Republicans voted today to say “the executive branch does not need us”— that being the case, maybe they should all quit

never played MOONMIST, but Infocom-inspired paratext is one of the reasons I’m making some video games, and Drew’s interactive fiction site is interesting— all this plus Warshaw’s Atari 2600 Indy (though I imagine the programmers didn’t write the manuals?)— I’m a manual freak

since they’re so poor at messaging: make educational short-form video series w/optimistic host, take impeachment process from filing to squashing— make it plain how the machine works and when Johnson kills it give that episode biggest push on socials— politics is theatre, embrace it, use it, show us
