So I just realized something about the Star Wars prequels.

I’ve watched a lot of interviews with Iain McCaig, he’s one of my favorite artists and basically behind Padme’s design as well as a lot of storyboarding.

uspol, family story, police mention 

Reminded of my Grampa's story about bodily throwing a German-American Bund member out of a train onto the platform WHILE IN UNIFORM, sometime during the lead in to WWII. I have no clue how he didn't get some sort of reprimand for this. No indication of any regrets or doubts. This is the same grandfather who got teary-eyed telling me about the time he was by all rights supposed to shoot someone and he just couldn't do it. That's how badly they pissed him off.

been a while and even if I'm not at work...

SKRREEEEEE!

song lyrics, are you ready? I can't heeeer you 

ohhhhh
who lives in a sepulchre under the sea
GREAT CTHULHU
a lumbering shambling obscenity
GREAT CTHULHU
that is not dead which can eternal lie
and with strange aeons even death may die
* animation of Cthulhu reforming *
GREAT CTHULHU
GREAT CTHULHU
GREAT CTHULHU
GREAT CUH THUL HUUUUU
* nauseating piping *

OH YEAAAAHHHHHH *cranks Khachaturian's "Adagio" from Gayaneh, jogs, throws punches in the air *

I feel really dumb now that I've successfully installed Telegram on a laptop, transferred an album to my phone and figured out how to block a phone number.

about money (pol, mh adjacent) 

Something that really bothers me;

I'm poor so donating any amount of money to anything is *probably* too much, even if it's just giving a homeless person an entire dollar. Giving to anything is a choice; do I help someone asking for help with medical expenses online? Which means I'm not helping someone else with rent or contributing to a big group like NRDC or NARAL.

Meanwhile it seems like rich people can just throw money at anything and frequently it's meaner.

crying jags to the Jurassic Park soundtrack are just one of the many services we provide!

uspol adjacent rant 

Obviously I'd prefer this to "great" means somehow "absurdly racist, our agriculture and fisheries are going away, and a lot of our coastline will be underwater in 10-30 years, but tbh, the above is a pretty capitalistic fantasy, which is kinda rank in a lot of ways, and most issues which could be seen as "social" only have a huge economic impact.

uspol adjacent rant 

In some alternate universe "Make America Great Again" was the slogan for bypassing (perceived) social issues by focusing on economics, specifically "make America have a viable MANUFACTURING BASE again," acknowledging a need for job alternatives to expensive nigh-mandated college educations and that a country with a strong alternative energy game might really dominate markets. (I'd like to hope this AU has more focus on unions, public transit and working class home ownership.)

The other from this morning was some really lurid porn I drew and scanned back in December last year. There's a pen0r so it is really, REALLY not work safe!

"Why can't you date that nice General Riekan?"
"He's dead, Dad."
"Well what about the Calrissian boy, he's handsome, he's a professional, he's kind..."
"DAD! He's canonically ROBOSEXUAL!"

Show thread

The Empire Strikes Back remade as a romcom in which Darth Vader, facing a middle-age crisis, desperately tries to exert control over his kids' life decisions to become a doo-gooder Unitarian clergyman and date someone he doesn't like, respectively.

Vaaaaalentine is gone!
Heeeere but now they're gone!
With a purposeful grimace and a terrible sound
He pulls the spittin' high tension wires down
Come on baby!

wow, apparently my Civil Rights scholarship is off this morning.

temptation rising to buy Fleetwood Mac's "Rumors" album for the trip north. It's just such a roadtrippy album, should I do it?

So hey Seattle people, are you busy next week? It looks like I will be up north for a little bit and I would really love to get to see you and hang out with you.
