New Bond starts with death of the old one, hard cut to black void that slowly fills will stars; a man wakes confused, and a figure in gold and black armor appears. "Who are you?" asks the figure. "Bhond. Jaymes Bhond." he answers. "The Eternal Champion," nods the figure, and gives him a black sword.

there's a moment in PARADISE LOST where Satan arrives in Eden and realizes Hell isn't a place; it's a thing he carries within him and it'll follow him wherever he goes. and i think about that when i see these awful rich men whose monstrous wealth has enriched them not at all

I don't know how many more of these admissions exist, but in the past 2 years we have seen public admissions from Steve Bannon and Elon Musk that they would go to jail if the GOP loses an election. Trump might go, too. The easiest task for a Dem intern: make an ad of these admissions.

Even if it seems certain that you will lose, retaliate. Neither wisdom nor technique has a place in this. A real man does not think of victory or defeat. He plunges recklessly towards an irrational death. By doing this, you will awaken from your dreams. Like and subscribe for more samurai wisdom

i suspect every issue of Zoning Practice magazine features a societal ill and then suggests solving that ill through zoning.

Yes, this is correct. And the reason is because our capitalist classes have decided that it is not sufficiently profitable, so they're not going to do it. We must understand this reality. Capital *cannot* be relied upon to address the climate crisis.

We can't do anything because of the next election. We can't do anything because of the next election. We can't do anything because of the next election.

Sometimes I alarm myself with the venom I am capable of these days. Oh well! Not my fault!

you read about people attending beheadings and such back in the Bad Old Days and you're like "who would go see someone publicly executed?" but then you read about ICE agents and it's like "oh i get it now"

You cannot make this stuff up. #ICE indiscriminately spraying pepper spray into cars while driving by should be immediate felony assault. In this instance, tack on felony child endangerment + whatever else puts them away forever. They maced a 1-year-old baby FFS.

A Word:

npr talking to the dumbest fucking democrats imaginable right now, absolutely ridiculous

Kyle Kingsbury is not a journalist. He is not an op-ed writer. He is a computer safety researcher. And he has written one of the most compelling, comprehensive accounts of the ongoing hell in Chicago that you could possibly imagine. In under 1600 words. aphyr.com/posts/397-i-...

DONALD TRUMP: [asleep, drooling on long red tie] SENATE DEMOCRATS: fine, we give in

truly impossible to imagine voting for a democrat ever again

the Democratic party is full of guys who would happily comply with a wallet inspector

I don't think it's cowardice. I think that they are OK with what the GOP is doing. The sooner folks reconcile with this, the better.

Can you call Chuck Schumer right now? No matter where you live, can you take a few minutes and tell Schumer that if Senate Democrats cave you will not support Senate Dems as long as he is leader? www.patreon.com/posts/143215...

"They want to lose" is the null hypothesis

saw the Spanish Baroque painting exhibit at the Blanton here in Austin yesterday, and there was a HUGE portrait of St. Lucia WITH her weird eyes on a plate...surely a sign from GOD HIMSELF that some publisher will grab up and publish my collection of weird short stories "The Eyes of St. Lucia"

pre-writing a devastating obituary for your enemy is god-tier hating of a kind you don’t often see anymore. renaissance haterism. beautiful stuff.

it's funny how much moorcock cribbed from poul anderson, especially given how much games workshop would then later crib from moorcock

I think the Rankin/Bass version of The Hobbit is likely going to be the best adaptation of Tolkien's novel that we're ever going to get. Its art design runs the gamut from rustic to creepy to lovely, and its assortment of songs lend it a fairy tale quality that really fits the story.
