Starting to think they like Batman. 🤔

In case your day needed a bit of brightening, let's talk about Batman, Turkey.

Batman University is located in the City of Batman which is in the Batman District of Batman Province, along the Batman River, where Batman Dam threatens the survival of the endangered Batman loach.

The entrance to Batman University, which is a sort of central column with two half-arches entering it at different heights. It's sort of minimalist, with red brick and white stucco coloring. A car is stopped at the guard shack or whatever.

A bridge over a river enters to a rugged cityscape with exposed rock, sheer rock cliff, slow-moving water and houses in the foreground.

Guillermo del Toro on wealth: "a wealthy man is a man who has enough, not a man that needs more. If you have enough to invite someone for a beer? You're rich. If you have a yacht, planes, islands, and you still need more? You're not rich."

Guillermo del Toro quote "...think about wealth for me for example. A wealthy man that has enough..."

"not a man that needs more. If you have enough to invite somebody to beer..."

"...you're rich. If you have, whatever-"

"- yachts and planes and islands and you STILL need more? You're not rich."

The universe is not going to make sense and everything does not happen for a linear reason.

Sometimes rich assholes give their children all their money when they die and they lurch through life with unearned confidence. They don't *do* consequences.

They think they are the best people.

Stellan Skarsgärd on his worldviews

"My father told me something when I was very small to instill confidence in me: 'Nobody in the world is worth more than you, but nobody's worth less.' It is an egalitarian view that I've carried around in my life. That's why I am for free schools, free universities, free health care, and free babysitting. Because our society could afford it"
"In America, people think social democracy is some kind of communism. They think capitalism is freedom. It's not. It's only freedom to exploit people"

Stellan Skarsgärd on why he protested for Palestine "right after" October 7:

"The thing was that you knew what was going to happen. Because since 1948, they've been doing the same thing. If the Palestinians kill one, they'll kill ten. Plus they'll bulldoze the home of the family and friends ….. Every night, I think about it. Every night."

Shouting into the void here but in general, if an article is interesting enough to post a screenshot of, it's interesting enough to post a link to so the people you're sharing with can actually read it, tell who wrote it and where it's from, assess its credibility, etc.

This is why "Trading Places" should be REQUIRED viewing... It's not always the choices, it's often the lack of options.

It's not a dream or aspiration, but a plausible alternative to the present moment--a critique on the needless hardship... Assume less often.👍

Fascinating that they don't consider where tech companies get their money from: consumers, investors, and government and corporate contracts. The funnel is under our pockets (...also, yes. The ballroom is a symbol of bribery). 🤷‍♂️
