You: How man times do I have to tell you!?

Me:

Still from the film Memento, Leonard (Guy Pierce) is talking. Text overlaid on image:
"Everything fades. If we talk for too long I'll forget how we started, and next time I see you I'm not going to remember this conversation. I don't even know if I've met you before."

Oh dear. Russia's still holding on to occupied Japanese Islands from 1945.

I'm going to mute this, just pointing out another gap from someone who keeps being excessively pedantic about one country name but doesn't know about the Kuril Islands or why the USSR was in N Korea in 1945.

Keeping in mind that, last I checked, you don't get a ME/LC diagnosis before 6 months of persistent symptoms.

It's standard in France already, replacing the even more barbaric practice of 'packing'. What you get from such an assimilationist culture.

Can't believe no-one said Don Giovanni in all of that.

Allegedly.

Anyone else at this public event where people would have been recording on their phones see any of this happen?

I'm starting to think Zara's one of those who wants to be a big fish in a little pond. Well aware YP isn't going to get anywhere but seeing it as a lifeline for relevance and job security.

Just because there're no corporate donors doesn't make her any less of a sellout.

Even a blank canvas can be an expression of apathy, or defeat, or "I'd rather be down the pub". Maybe it's not about suffering but about it being something you have to care about to invest so many hours in this one expression of yourself.

I mean, who's going to paint "I feel sad about peanuts"?

*after fighting every bit of my ADHD restlessness plus the autistic anxiety from indeterminacy about the end*

Art is nothing without any real emotional investment. Yes that includes a lot of humans too. What is anyone trying to say, are they even trying to say anything?

Depeche Mode turned found sounds into new instruments while Art Of Noise piled out producer-driven bilge and bastardised the music of Prince.

Or maybe it's like the difference between Public Enemy and Vanilla Ice. One of these has poured their soul into making an original contribution.

Something missing from the convo around libs turning on Greta Thunberg - Autistic traits in girls once seen as precocious & full of potential are unacceptable for adult women. Even if she'd stuck to environmental concerns, her passion, detail, & thorough communication style would be hated.

The studios are greedy and malicious and are desparate to destroy actors' unions; this is exactly the kind of inept attempt at psychological manipulation we can expect from them now.

Call this what it is, a glamour. Fools you at first glance but falls apart under any scrutiny.

This Tilly thing still hasn't got around certain limits, like having a single shot more than 5 seconds (or even 3 for most of them). Any film is going to be 90 minutes of _that_ scene from Bohemian Rhapsody.

This is just the latest in a long line of industry trying to put the frighteners on actors.

Photo 2 of a teeny snail on an average sized apple. Backlit by a bedside lamp. Its shell is translucent like baking paper!

Photo 3 has my index finger at least 10 times the size of a teeny snail on an average sized apple.

Photo 4 also has my index finger slightly further away but still at least 10 times the size of a teeny snail on an average sized apple.

I don’t think it’s actually possible to sort autistic people into “high functioning” & “low functioning” buckets. That exercise gets messy & arbitrary very quickly.

(I also don’t think there’s any morally acceptable reason to TRY to divide us up. It’s always a ploy to make eugenics more palatable.)
