Terra Incognita

Oh, did I forget to say tbcd?

It is impossible for me to ponder the coincidentally bullet-pierced chest of the 42 year old cinematographer Halyna Hutchins without also pondering the likewise-punctured neck of the 35 year old Air Force veteran Ashli Babbitt, who isn't even allowed her own wikipedia article, ostensibly because she would become more of a martyr for Trump's church.. That this link is from Ha'aretz is how fate would have it; I gravitated toward it because of the title but the Guardian does provide a photo, a flattering one at that, amidst its sneers.

I believe in nothing. But what I feel very deeply is that at the time of this great movie Rust!, the one with the exclamation point in the title, we really need to keep our focus, relentlessly and unflinchingly, not on the right but on the Blue Church.

Who he had just been playing, which is why he is such a liberal hero now, and why this bullet matters so much now.

A pair of brightly colored panties rode a wave. And Marsha wants it now.

It cannot be denied--although the Blue Church denied it--that Trumpism carried the 2016 election in the economic blight of the Rust Belt of the Midwest. It cannot be denied--though the Blue Church denied it--that since the Clinton sellout of the Democratic Party to corporate donors in 1992, much of its former base was discarded, unless they had allegiance to some 'identity group'--meaning mostly the straight, white working class was left out. And it also cannot be denied that a lot of what is going to come out from this shooting death will have to do with union rights and labor laws as they relate to film workers, or that Alec Baldwin is a leader of the Blue Church. So something is coming full circle here. As I told you I'm a Bokononist so I'm bound to see that something as 'busy, busy, busy' but I also said that's why I like those Buddhist paintings--there are patterns.

I suspect it cannot be denied that Alec Baldwin is probably a well-meaning man, or at least that there are good arguments to see him as such; for instance, he apparently made $15 million dollars doing ads for a credit card company and donated every single penny to breast cancer research. And while I can also see why Vanity Fair is calling Donald Trump Jr. sentient pond scum for selling t shirts on his website saying, "Guns don't kill people. Alec Baldwin kills people."--a play on the right's argument against gun control that people, not guns, kill people--again, I think we should look past things like that and focus our lens unflinchingly on the Blue Church. After all, Donald Trump could not have won the Rust Belt if it had not rusted first, and then his son would not be selling t shirts about Alec Baldwin being a murderer.

And so we should always ask ourselves, in what ways is the Blue Church sentient pond scum?--especially because we are closer to it than we are to Donald Trump, Jr., and if you don't believe me, just count the film posts here. And so asking: in what ways is the Blue Church sentient pond scum is in a way also asking, in what ways are we sentient pond scum, and a good place to start is by asking, in what ways does dear Alec Baldwin embody archetypal sentient pond scumminess? For instance, that portrayal of Trump on SNL...

I believe in nothing...but life.

Oh, did I forget to say that? I definitely do believe in life. One time in my twenties I had a most extraordinary epiphany, I questioned everything. Everything. But one day a voice booming inside of me revealed:

Everything that is, is.

Politische peepenscheisseschau kommendauf, warten Sie einmal bitte.

(So I was just checking the spelling of politische Schau so I could post this here thread and look at what I got for my first hit!. )

But ya know what I really love?

I really love putting a closed paren after an emoji. It gives me a deep sense of satisfaction about the extent of the absurdity of existence.

So why is it asking me for a topic id number just to move a damn post Vincent?

The forum needs that ID to know where (in which thread) to move that post Roshan

To find that ID you need to click on it from the thread list
not from the homepage but from the forum view :
Then look at the url in your browser.
It should end with t=X
X being the ID number you're looking for.

So, for example, in the case of this thread the ID number is 80.

Well, isn't that a sensitive little board. I can't just go into the thread from the homepage. It has to be from the forum view. Should I bring it a pillow too Vincent?



Where is Cedric?
