I wrote this song for our local No Kings protest on Saturday. I kept it simple and catchy, and offer it up to anyone who needs something to say or sing. Take it, change it, rewrite it, remix it. Write your own song. Ribbit loud!

Every objectivist thinks he’s John Galt and not, like, the guy driving the doomed train

Too much of libertarianism is of the ayn rand variety, where the point of freedom is to make sure the deserving ubermenschen have liberty

This is really good, and I’d argue the 18th c. enlightenment reformers – the ones first saying “no kings” and making a government with distributed powers and built-in checks and balances – were also pointing in that direction

But thanks for linking; this looks fascinating!

I looked, the footnote wasn’t as fun as I hoped :(

Oh yes absolutely, my phrase is actually the root of libertarianism, but there’s some overlap there and the easy one (libertarianism) maybe is a gateway to the better one (anarchism)

Shoutout to swipetype for thinking I wanted to say “gayer in DC”

Cris (without an H) @ambignostic.bsky.social · 35m

Somebody on here was talking about how important small town rallies are as part of the overall messaging. Like “millions gather in DC” is dog bites man, “massive protest in Tarrytown” is shocking

Sometimes I hate it, look down on it as immature, but the base impulse of “don’t tell me what to do” is really important

I have to see the footnote on the word “I”

i was going to say that im too hinged for this but I actually have one: most introductions to works of fiction should be afterwords!!! don't talk about the shit that happens in the book, I haven't read it yet!!

Tell me your most unhinged literary opinion, as a little treat

I would simply never post any opinions that would result in people pointing swords at me

Cris (without an H) @ambignostic.bsky.social · 16h

“What unpopular opinion would get you cancelled” is not engagement bait, it’s entrapment

Lux "Nightmare" Alptraum @luxalptraum.com · 16h

My actually unhinged opinions are way too batshit to share publicly

Posts from @orionjack.bsky.social and @weinberg.social got me once again thinking about my favorite worst movie, ALLIGATOR (1980)

Third time i saw it was with a group of friends, and my wife made us rewind and replay this shot three times because she thought the alligator blinking its nictitating membrane was so adorable

That swimming pool scene is one of the signs that this film has no moral center (complimentary). Just utterly psychopathic about who dies and who is spared. Kid? Dead. Dog? Dead.

Cris (without an H) @ambignostic.bsky.social · 17h

fwiw “so many” is probably only three, but that’s two more than should be expected

Cris (without an H) @ambignostic.bsky.social · 17h

Why do I love this stupid movie? Why have I seen it so many times?

The real bummer is that I want to like Denzel but he's been in two of the most disappointing stinkers I've seen (Ricochet and John Q) and that dampens my expectations when I see him billed

Cris (without an H) @ambignostic.bsky.social · 19h

First one I saw

Private First Class Peterson (Denzel Washington) defiantly faces Captain Davenport (Howard Rollins Jr, offscreen) as Corporal Cobb (David Alan Grier) looks down sheepishly behind him. From A SOLDIER'S STORY (1984)

I forgot that he rhymes "Yom Kippur" with "had to slip her"
