God is dead. God remains dead. And we have killed him. Who will wipe this blood off us? What festivals of atonement, what sacred games shall we need to invent?


This esteemed candidate is fairly close to me, and I have an editorial to write. I think I will reach out to him or her. Nice!

G.K. Chesterton once said something to the effect of "When things are done wildly, but taken mildly, the state is going insane." If things continue as they have, we are mere years away from the president naming a horse as Secretary of State (a la Caligula).

For the record, the non-seasonally adjusted unemployment numbers were +77,000. That's lower than the same time last year (161,000) & much lower than the year before (272,000).

Why must every movie, including movies about real historical events have a white male protagonist? White men are not the world's saviors.

The Guardian posted:


Finally the film’s nominal star, Jeremy Irvine, defended the film, again on Facebook.

“[I] can assure you all that it represents almost every race and section of society that was so fundamental to one of the most important civil rights movements in living history,” he wrote. “Marsha P Johnson is a major part of the movie, and although first hand accounts of who threw the first brick in the riots vary wildly, it is a fictional black transvestite character played by the very talented @vlad_alexis [actor Vladimir Alexis] who pulls out the first brick in the riot scenes.”

Basic problem is that there were few photographs, no videos and a bunch of contradictory eyewitness accounts that all contradict each other. Some say Stonewall was full of black drag queens. Others say they only let a select few drag queens in (who they knew) and the crowd was mostly white. Some say Sylvia Rivera started it, some say Marsha Johnson, some say it was "some guy." Some say a butch lesbian named Storme DeLarverie. Nobody's got a clue.

But the main reason we don't know is that, at the time, it was a minor disturbance, one of many around the country (not the only one involving LGBT rioters, in fact, and also a blip of a riot by late-1960s standards), that only later became the basis for commemoration, so few people bothered to record it outside a few alt-weeklies.

As Stonewall was later mythologized by gay activist groups and very deliberately so, it took on greater importance, and as there's ongoing political conflicts within the GLBT movement, how Stonewall is interpreted becomes subject to political adjudication.

Cue bunch of random poo poo:

Emmerich: Best make the fictional symbolic hero of Stonewall "some guy", that feels like a fair amalgam of the various, vague and powerful figures of this movement. Marketing's asking us if we can make him straight too, but we gotta draw the line somewhere.

It's from some blog or something called "Liar Town." Some stuff from there is kind of funny (I think the Cussin' Bears magazine cover comes from there), but a lot of it's loving dumb. So that image is a fake and it's satirizing people who want to call attention to lighthearted rape references and jokes.
