You know that Chris Fleming line that goes "Call yourself a community organizer even though you're not on speaking terms with your roommates"?

I honestly think every leftist who talks about the "revolution" like Christians talk about the rapture needs to spend a year trying to organize their workplace. Anyone who sincerely talks about building a movement so vast and all-encompassing that it overwhelms all existing power structures needs the dose of humility that comes with realizing they can't even build a movement to get people paid better at a badly run AMC Theaters where everyone already hates the manager.

#method speaks #union stuff #politics #i guess #best case scenario in this plan we get some successful union drives #worst case people realize that movement building is hard #and also explicitly mentioning socialism is counterproductive #mostly i'm just venting #it's only april how is election discourse this unhinged already?

In the assigned married fic, has Anakin even begun to process Padme saying that both of them will be moving to Naboo together? Like, they spoke earlier in the chapter about Anakin moving in with her on Coruscant, but Obi-Wan apparently spilled the beans about a much more permanent relocation to Naboo, and I am looking forward to Anakin's response to that, once he gets through processing everything else and remembers that part of the "conversation"....

i think padmé views moving to naboo more as a possibility than a future concrete plan -- the offer to be a permanent advisor on naboo is something she'd like to discuss with anakin as her husband before taking it or rejecting it. she says there's a lot of work she still wants to do in the senate, and she's probably thinking that it will be a few years before she would be able to go anyway. definitely after the war, but in her mind, she thinks anakin has every intention to leave the order after the war's over....because he kind of told her that. at least, in her mind he did: (from chapter 1)

“[Obi-Wan] asked me if I planned to leave the Order after the war,” he tells his wife. “And I lied, and then I think he began to support me. That’s what he looked like, anyway.” Padmé blinks at him, eyelashes falling slowly onto the jut of her cheek and then rising. “That’s good then,” she says, sounding hesitant. “That he supports us.” “Yeah,” Anakin replies, raising his hand to tuck a tendril of hair behind her ear. “Though…I’m sorry you had to lie,” she says, pressing forward until their faces are only a hand’s width apart. “Hopefully…” she trails off, biting her lip. Then she shakes her head slightly, and her mouth turns up into a smile as if she cannot help herself. “Hopefully he will not take the truth so hard.”

so anakin never says what lie he told obi-wan, he just says that he lied when asked if he was going to leave the Order, and that lie made obi-wan support him.

from an outsider's perspective, especially a biased outsider who is married to one of the insiders and believes them to have a future together, padmé's immediate understanding of this is that obi-wan asked if he was going to leave the order and anakin lied to him and told him he planned to stay and obi-wan began to support their marriage because he thinks he won't be losing anakin (padmé, who has three braincells, has long since realized obi-wan's obsessed with her husband)

and that's why she's smiling at the end (and also why they have sex at the fade to black) -- she believes anakin has just told her that when the war ends, he'll leave the Order to be with her and build a future together <3 so the offer to go to naboo is an option she can talk to her husband about, but she knows that anakin is going to no longer be a jedi....and if he's not a jedi, and she's not a senator....what's keeping them on coruscant?

BUT it's not just obi-wan that's feeling a bit catty during that dinner party scene, so i intentionally wrote padmé as putting this idea forward as less of a possibility and more of a done deal that she knows anakin will accept -- she talks about it like it's great big BACK OFF signs picketed around anakin because obi-wan is the biggest threat to their marriage in the entire galaxy and she's always known that

(but also no anakin has not begun to process that whole thing - but padmé, who now realizes they're NOT on the same page, is absolutely going to bring it up post-haste in the next chapter)

#asks #a more perfect union #obikin #sorry for all the words no one's really asked about padmé's perspective in this and i jumped at the opportunity to talk about it lol #i really have enjoyed writing these characters being their worst selves #like padmé isn't the bad guy in this story but she's definitely a wife who is in love with her husband and WILL fight to keep him #theres a moment ive written in the next chapter where shes like i put my husband above the republic and you should put your wife there too #because she did she would she said she did in canon asking vader to run away together as the republic burnt around them #her priorities when pushed against a rock and a hard place are very much: anakin then the republic #and the crux and tension of this fic is that anakin's are very clearly: obi-wan then the republic (which is just obi-wan again)#then padmé then the jedi order

Something something Junmo wearing Gicheol's suit and Taeho's watch. Something about Gicheol taking Junmo to his home, his room—a place only Taeho has been to before, while he wears another one of Gicheol's clothing.

(and just Taeho in general tbh *heart eyes*)

#something something INSANITY #like for Gicheol Seungho IS Taeho in some ways–he's almost like a dead ringer to him #if he looked at him for more than a minute their faces would start to merge and Gicheol wouldn't be able to tell who it was anymore #they're that similar #so inviting Seungho into his room is sort a way for him to replicate the feeling that he used to get with Taeho and Taeho alone #good god I will never forgive this show for showing just how unhinged Gicheol was for Taeho and then just...never giving us anything else #about their history together like he's Gicheol's childhood best friend has probably been there for him even before Euijeong #and we just get nothing about him when he's the whole reason Junmo even got an opening into the gangnam union #sigh #im so sorry taeho baby you deserve better #the worst of evil

this last image contains the look of a man who knows he's broken down someone's walls.

#jcw is handsome #but my god seungho is not #i cannot explain it #he is scrappy and dirty-looking and always looks like he's drunk #not to mention he walks like a drowsy spider #i mean it's sexy in a dirty way but it's also the kind of way that...#you know when you have a crush on a guy with no future and you can't admit it to your friends?#that's the feel i get from seungho #scruffy: THAT'S THE WORD I'VE BEEN LOOKING FOR #he is so scruffy #and yet!!!! he's got the whole of the gangnam union wrapped around his finger #well everyone except jungbae #jungbae sees right through seungho's bullshit #but poor chief seo #seungho has got seo blushing and smiling like a teenager #the heartbreak will be hard on this one #the worst of evil

Also I've made one of my older posts about AI stuff unrebloggable because it was starting to go around and while my final verdict opinion hasn't really changed - I still strongly consider it a really exciting tool that can be used for both good and evil and despise its use as a corporate cost-cutting gimmick or a new way for trolls and grifters to be giant cockholes but love seeing what people do with it for its OWN value as a tool and how making art out of ANYTHING is such a human thing to do-

digging even a few inches deeper has caused my reasons for arriving at that same conclusion to change a lot lmao

It's kind of my current ultimate example of

[Source]

#personal #ai tag #and also i complain about how its flaws are making.people way too sympathetic to reactionary arguments #this doesnt mean i fail to recognize or hate the way it's used for evil #but hair-splitting about Real Art and Real Labor has NEVER led anywhere good this time will NOT be an exception #and ''we have to shove this genie back in the bottle to Save Jobs'' has always been a losing argument #and beefing up copyright is the exact opposite of preventing the worst uses #but holy shit we need better online privacy protection and vfx unions #we need that shit 40 years ago #and we need automation taxes to go to beefed up unemployment -> ubi #and i hate how theres a kind of godwins law corollary with 1984 because the filters on so many readily available generators are #TERRIFYING #its bad enough when tiktok tries to block you from talking about queerness and mental health and basic facts of life #at least they cant block you from saying it to a friend next to you #but when companies falsely think they can monopolize the entire concept of making images #and decide that various disabilities are ''too violent'' to show..........#yeeeeeah yikes

Brain inspires the spirit of the Scalan Revolution after the Founders have him arrested for his “subversive writings” about how the normal Keyblade wielders shouldn’t have to work their asses off to survive while the Heirs sit around all day.

Player2 then sparks the violence of the Scalan Revolution when they break into prison to free their boyfriend while beating the crap out of anyone stupid enough to get in the way.

Or at least, that’s how I hope things will go down if Missing Link ends up being a Scalan worker's revolution.

#khml #khml player #kh brain #kh missing link #kh plain #we all know keyblade wielders unionizing ended badly #but surely keyblade wielders having a workers' revolution will go well #what's the worst that could happen?

Aliens vs. Predator: Requiem (2007, The Strause Brothers)

05/03/2024

Aliens vs. Predator: Requiem is a 2007 film directed by the Strause Brothers.

The film was released in the United States on December 25, 2007, in Germany and Australia on December 26, 2007, and in the rest of the UE on January 25, 2008.

From the corpse of the Predator Scar, infected at the end of the first film, a Predalien emerges, a Xenomorph born from Yautja and therefore much stronger than a Xenomorph born from a human.

Mrs. Yutani is the one who will soon co-found Weyland-Yutani.

Work began on September 25, 2006 in Vancouver, also changing the name several times.

In Italy, viewing of the film was prohibited for minors under 18, while in the United States only for unaccompanied minors under 17.

However, it received heavy panning from critics, recording a 12% approval rating on Rotten Tomatoes. The film also received two nominations for Worst Prequel or Sequel and Worst Pretext for a Horror Film at the 2007 Razzie Awards.

I love the brand of adult humor Dead End brings to the scene because it isn’t a ‘raunchy dirty jokes’ type of humor, it’s a wittier ‘real world relatable-to-the-older-viewers’ type of humor.

#like it’s presented in a way the kids can probs get a chuckle out of it #maybe a bit from deadpan absurdity #but the target audience is obviously the older viewers #‘did aliens build the pyramids or are conspiracy theorists just racist?’#‘she’s a rich white lady! they can be the worst!’#‘well I’m not immediately good at it so I might as well give up’#like that’s all hilarious esp in a kids show #yeah #it’s again. v refreshing for the adult jokes to not be something dirty but something clever #like shrek’s ‘we’re from the union’ ‘we don’t even have dental’ ‘they don’t even have dental’#it gives rewatchability for all ages!#anyway #dead end paranormal park #de:pp #my post

dang it may be 3 am but seeing all these dumb takes on soviet history by tankies has made me Really wanna get back on shostakovichposting

like . soviet history is never as cut and dry as many people on multiple sides of an ideological argument will have you believe, but I will say that researching it properly will make you hate tankies

#rambles #anyway thinking of the lady izdihar video where she was like “the 30s soviet union was a lot of experimentation #and sometimes those experiments didn't work out right!"#like collectivization and censorship and the holodomor and the great purges. ok #like is soviet history nuanced . sure; history always is #but acting like the 30s was just “experimenting” as if stalin was completely naive and had the best intentions is Fucking Stupid at best #and at worst very harmful #I will acknowledge she's very well read but she's also extremely biased #and overly positive views of history in general aren't the way to combat overly negative ones #literally just . tell the truth and show nuance and state the facts and cite your sources #it's not hard #like I have opinions on plenty of historical figures and events #but if I'm trying to inform people on them in a serious context I will just state the facts as I know them #proper historical research is so so important guys
