Jungle - Dominoes

I’m always excited for every new Jungle music video. The one take mixed with the choreo just elevates the underlying music track. It’s also nice to see familiar dancers from previous tracks and new ones coming along for the ride.

Yall remember that friend of mine who hated DC for what they did to Jon? Yeah, he's gone off the far end.

The one that said, "Either Jonathan Samuel Kent is a child, or Jonathan Samuel Kent doesn't exist."

If it's not obvious enough, I am obsessed with genderbent DC and since Teen Justice is coming out some time later on, I started talking to him about it again.

I was showing him the info cards and explaining who they were. Here's the convo

Me: *Showing Talia's card* This is Talia. She's Damian on Earth 11

Him: Tf? They named her Talia?

Me: I know right? Anyway, this one is Raven's *shows Ravens card*. He doesn't have an actual name yet, so...

Him: Ooooooooh. Asian descent?

Me: I think so? I dunno, I don't wanna assume. He's gay, actually...I think. I dunno if he's gay or demi or pan or bi or- yknow what? He likes Donny, that's all I can say.

Him: Who's Donny?

Me: Donna Troy's Earth 11 Variant.

Him: Ah. Who else?

Me: And this one's Jess. *Shows Jess' card*

Him: Ooooh, Jess Chambers. Their outfit is cool

Me: This other one is Aquagirl

Him: *simping*

Me, who's been his friend for 5 years and knows what he looks like when he simps: simp

Him: Bitch

Me: Lol. Okay, last but not least, this is Laurel. She's Jon.

Him: Aw, she looks cute. Why Laurel though? It's a far name from Kon.

Me: Uh, dude? I said Jon, not Kon

Him: Who's Jon?

Me: ...You serious right now?

Him: Raph, there's no super who's name is Jon.

Me: Jonathan.

Him: Jonathan who?

Me: Jonathan Kent!

Him: That's Superman's dad!

Me: Jonathan SAMUEL Kent!

Him: I DON'T FUCKING KNOW WHO THAT IS!

Me: SUPERBOY!

Him: EXACTLY, CONNER!

Me: BRO-

Him: Okay, okay, wait, Superman only had two sons, yeah?

Me: Yes

Him: There's Conner-

Me: Mhm

Him: And there's Chris.

Me: shhhkwvdyizgjTeajgarydkgraugkhxjf

Ya broke him, DC

With Wordsworth and Coleridge it's pretty much impossible to not pick one of them to sympathize with when discussing their relationship in depth, and usually authors will sympathize with the one they're writing a book about. That being said I would like very much to know why the fuck Ek Chambers chose to write a book about Coleridge if he's obviously completely on Wordsworth's side in the entire affair.

In early July 2008, Samuel Alito stood on a riverbank in a remote corner of Alaska. The Supreme Court justice was on vacation at a luxury fishing lodge that charged more than $1,000 a day, and after catching a king salmon nearly the size of his leg, Alito posed for a picture. To his left, a man stood beaming: Paul Singer, a hedge fund billionaire who has repeatedly asked the Supreme Court to rule in his favor in high-stakes business disputes. Singer was more than a fellow angler. He flew Alito to Alaska on a private jet. If the justice chartered the plane himself, the cost could have exceeded $100,000 one way. In the years that followed, Singer’s hedge fund came before the court at least 10 times in cases where his role was often covered by the legal press and mainstream media. In 2014, the court agreed to resolve a key issue in a decade-long battle between Singer’s hedge fund and the nation of Argentina. Alito did not recuse himself from the case and voted with the 7-1 majority in Singer’s favor. The hedge fund was ultimately paid $2.4 billion. Alito did not report the 2008 fishing trip on his annual financial disclosures. By failing to disclose the private jet flight Singer provided, Alito appears to have violated a federal law that requires justices to disclose most gifts, according to ethics law experts. Experts said they could not identify an instance of a justice ruling on a case after receiving an expensive gift paid for by one of the parties.

Alito Took Unreported Luxury Trip With GOP Donor Paul Singer — ProPublica

So Harlan Crow owns Thomas, Singer owns Alito. Who owns Kavanaugh and Gorsuch? We know the Handmaid’s Association Of We Are Totally Not Fundamentalist Fanatics owns Coney Barret. And all of them invent law to get the result their owners want.

Our Constitution establishes a Supreme Court to uphold the principle that all are equal under the law, not a Star Chamber where a six person cabal create law to support the always white supremacist and christian nationalist goals of its secretive, billionaire owners. 

The current SCOTUS majority, these six, unelected political operatives who wrap themselves in the cloak of justice are corrupt, undemocratic, illegitimate, and must be nullified by expanding the court and impeaching these plainly corrupted so-called Justices.

"Oh, how I have dreamt about you! Times that have been, and never can return, have been with me on my bed of pain."

Anatomy of a Hero - Samuel Vimes

He wanted to go home. He wanted it so much that he trembled at the thought. But if the price of that was selling good men to the night, if the price was filling those graves, if the price was not fighting with every trick he knew... Then it was too high. History finds a way? Well, it would have to come up with something good, because it was up against Sam Vimes now.

Terry Pratchett, Night Watch

Fantasy has created some truly remarkable characters, and it's fair to say that Samuel Vimes of the Discworld series is among them - and he's a personal favorite.

This is the first in a (sporadic) series of posts analyzing my favorite fantasy protagonists and what I think makes them work as characters and how they fit into their stories.

Samuel Vimes is the protagonist of eight of Terry Pratchett's seminal Discworld novels - specifically, Guards! Guards!, Men at Arms, Feet of Clay, Jingo, Fifth Elephant, Night Watch, Thud!, and Snuff. These novels make up what is colloquially referred to as the City Watch series, and they answer the question "what if the city guard in a fantasy series got stuff done?"

Vimes is the head of the Ankh-Morpork City Watch and starts off as a parody of the drunken watch captain, literally waking up in a gutter at the start of Guards! Guards!. While it's obvious from the start that he has a sense of justice and a desire to see justice served, years of being beaten down by a city that doesn't need him anymore has left him at his lowest point. In fact, Guards! Guards! is about him getting her proverbial groove back and solving his first real mystery in ages.

We then see Vimes grow into a respected member of the community, transforming the City Watch from a joke (at the start of the series, it's four people) into a pillar of the City, an institution in its own right.

Vimes himself struggles with addiction throughout the series with the help of his wife, Sybil, and members of the Watch (especially his right-hand man, Carrot), going from alcohol to cigars to bacon sandwiches by the end of the series.

We also see how Vimes fits into the central theme of the City Watch - social inequality and the importance of overcoming it. Sam starts the series with a... not-great view of the non-human residents of the city of Ankh-Morpork (although this view is better described as general misanthropy than racism, with him distrusting anyone who isn't his wife or a member of the Watch). This view is changed as the series progresses - between the first two novels, a coalition of minority groups successfully sues the city of Ankh-Morpork for employment discrimination in government positions and Vimes is forced to allow non-human people into the Watch. He comes to recognize that these people are, well, people with value not only as people but as law enforcement officials. Twice, Vimes uses his social power to advocate for downtrodden species to be treated as people, with full rights and protections under the law - for golems in Feet of Clay and goblins in Snuff, and the City Watch becomes the most diverse organization in the entirety of Discworld.

The last thing I'll talk about is Vimes' aforementioned desire for justice. Night Watch gives us a view into the life of an early Sam Vimes (Vimes is sent back in time to just before the Glorious Revolution, a now-forgotten struggle against a despot) - indeed, in his youth Sam was a revolutionary, inspired by Sgt. John Keel (whom Vimes takes the place of after finding Keel dead). During this Revolution, young Sam Vimes witnessed a number of things that would impact him for the rest of his life, including the torture chambers of The Unspeakables, a secret police force who committed horrible crimes in the name of the public good and who act as the antagonists of the novel. The quote that started this essay comes from near the climax of the novel, and I think it really encapsulates that desire for justice and why Sam Vimes works as a protagonist - one of the best in fantasy.
