“Human history is not the battle of good struggling to overcome evil. It is a battle fought by a great evil struggling to crush a small kernel of human kindness.

But if what is human in human beings has not been destroyed even now, then evil will never conquer.”

-Vasily Grossman

It goes without saying but even Ben's Dad was yeeted into an abyss until his Mom yanked him off Jabba's wall.

*for the record the way she takes that helmet off is 10X sexier than the ballyhooed outfit on the barge

Like that's so fundamentally Star Wars. Saving what we love. Saving each other. Rian nailed it when he didn't let Finn sacrifice himself, but the choice was still there. He chose a side.

But you don't have to die for a cause. You can live for it.

Any sense I make in this is absolutely due to your editing skills & steering my ramblings when I was pissed off, out of it in general (life was happening at the time), & just plain 🫠

All this has me thinking about old posts, my all time fav character-Tristan (Legends of the Fall), & Antigone 🖤

A series of three tweets from user Josh Johnson (@joshuavyjohnson) about Star Wars: The Rise of Skywalker (TROS) and themes of silence, redemption, and myth.

Tweet 1 (Dec 27, 2019): “There’s a reason Antigone is all I’ve been able to think about since walking out of TROS.”

Tweet 2 (Jan 7, 2020): Discusses “The American Monomyth” as something downloaded into culture, creating anxiety and fear in young men who are shamed into silence until it becomes “the default operating system.”

Tweet 3 (Jan 8, 2020): Says the “silence” around Ben Solo’s fate is not true silence, but rather the effect of false narratives about heroism drowning out love and family. The tweet includes a black-and-white gif of Ben Solo (Adam Driver) holding Rey’s lifeless body from The Rise of Skywalker, looking anguished and emotional.

Movie poster for Frailty. The design features two male figures, one looking upward and another gazing forward, both blended into a dark, shadowy background with a glowing orange tone. A large blood-stained axe marked “OTIS” lies diagonally across the image. The text at the bottom reads “Bill Paxton, Matthew McConaughey, Frailty.” The overall style is moody and ominous, evoking suspense and psychological horror.

Today would’ve been Fannie Lou Hamer’s birthday. In 1964, she asked a question that still echoes:

“Is this America… where our lives be threatened daily, because we want to live as decent human beings?”

As his Dad’s brother, should my nephew ever ask me for advice on the subtle art of talking shit and perpetually getting under his own brother’s skin, I’d simply tell him to watch Eli on Monday nights.

this exists it is called thinking

Matthew McConaughey says he wants a private LLM, fed only with his books, notes, journals, and aspirations, so he can ask it questions and get answers based solely on that information, without any outside influence.

One of these rich dudes invested in a food company with all proceeds going to kids in need. The other started Sundance Institute, boosting the lives of countless artists. Hey modern rich dudes, don't be a typical greedy AI crypto-prick, be like these two.
