Also; I had blood relatives who went in those camps. I had a blood relative who as a medic was one of the first Americans in. I’ve met survivors. I had a German friend whose grandfather was made to see the camps late in the war; Peter himself had visited Auschwitz.

You say the Shoah never happened? Yeah, you BETTER do it where I can’t get in a good swing at you, you ruptured colostomy bag.

Okay I am now trying to be banned from Twitter apparently. I said directly at the scion of the master race;

“Apparently it’s comedy to badmouth a marginalized group and deny unquestionable FACTS about what happened to said group?

“You’re supporting bigotry and it WILL get someone killed. It is very hard for me to think your actions here are unintentional but; please do better, sir.”

Okay I think I’m done with the super long serialized-while-posting-receivables journal entry. Oofgh it’s been a fucking month hasn’t it?

@obscurestar duuuuuude. Some otter totally ganked my stick dude, it’s real heinous. Dude!

@raccoonformality@mastodon.gamedev.place there’s at LEAST two mom furries btw!

@obscurestar saw the movie, liked the movie, seriously this thing’s everything I wanted about Shang burial goods for only $10 so I’m leaning towards yes.

Dial of Destiny spoilers, nerding out about weird stuff 

Obviously the antikythera mechanism is a calculator and afaik has nothing to do with Archimedes. But the usual suspect for the holy lance - the thing everyone at the beginning of the movie thinks is the holy lance - is something which was in Austria. The Nazis acquired it early on with Anschluss.

What I liked most was the overall tight story, including introducing new characters and giving them a personality and trying to resolve Indy’s personal stuff, WHILE still doing exciting Indiana Jones stuff. This could make for a long movie which bogs and it’s handled as a long movie which only kinda bogs right before the end. The camera work is great, and I might be missing some very effective storytelling, but pacing for story is fantastic.

Dial of Destiny spoilers etc 

There were a couple of things which didn’t make sense if I thought about them but looked good and made the story work (eg, how does Sallah get Indy out of NYC, why would Marion come back at the end, why would the never actually military villain wear SS uniform at the end or think risking an encounter with his younger self would be a good idea?).

Dial of Destiny spoilers etc 

The thing I liked least; there was this Cleopatra Jones styled badass government agent who bought it partway through the movie, and naturally I thought she was cool, I wish she’d survived to be important at the end. This movie had no problems killing people off, I think because they wanted to drive home HOW Nazis aren’t good.

I went from thinking about Indiana Jones and the Dial of Destiny to about this book on Shang burials that I held off on (“if it’s still at Half Price next time I’ll grab it”), to about trying to learn Mandarin again.

SHOULD I get a book on Shang period burials, or do I have too many unread books already?

okay the Yellow Submarine soundtrack is helping me hate everything a LOT less

the downside; I now miss Ann Arbor back when I was young and the world was very different

coyote sing along hour 

my spirit sings loud and clear
even in here
I will be born, someday someday
if I wait long enough
I don't HAVE to be afraid.
I don't WANT to be afraid.
And you can't tell me what my spirit tells me isn't true
can you?

coyote sing along hour, this again 

i live cement
i HATE this street
give dirt to me
i bite lament

coyote sing along hour 

I hate this, I hate this
I’m weightless, I’m weightless
I hate this, I hate this
I’m weightless, I’m weightless
She’s a child,
A child in all of this
She’s a child,
A child in all of this

I utterly despise the EXPLAIN GAPS IN YOUR EMPLOYMENT! question. I was looking for work, I suppose you want me to say either I smoked a crapton of weed while playing WoW, or that I went back to school (with what money?).

I hate it as much as EXPLAIN IF YOU WERE TERMINATED FROM A POSITION!

Or as much as when you input your resume and the next section asks to list job duties, title, company, dates. What did you think I usually put on my resume, types of sandwiches I like?

Combining job hunting, my agency not paying me in a timely fashion and my Tuesday already slated for seeing my parents, puts me in this hating EVERYTHING headspace.

pol adjacent rant 

I can't believe some sort of shitty pissant excuse for a Gay would work with the Republicans. Maybe you should realize that when you help the worst people on earth crap on Blacks and poors, YOU aren't gonna escape for your collaboration. You're not Gay, my dude, you're SHIT. I have NO tolerance for any Queer, Jew or Black who joins the enemy.

WWII adjacent Indiana Jones 

It’s when I start identifying tank kill awards on a sleeve that I think, why the hell do I even know this, I don’t like Wehrmacht stuff for obvious reasons. A nerdy chunk of me raised on a real cleaned up version of WWII thinks it was cool to show late war uniforms for a change.

reimagining the Lobby Scene as a musical number, only they pull back and there's Stadler and Waldorf

STADLER: Oh yes, they're definitely visually referencing classic Woo action movies
WALDORF: Looks like classic poo to me!
*both of them laugh*
