Now is not the time to be a silly goose. We need serious geese, grave and sober geese that understand the gravity of our moment. We need hard geese, willing to do what must be done. We need geese of history.

a good part of me thinks that in addition to everything else, the reason they are scrubbing these stories is they do not want disadvantaged kids to believe they can aspire to anything other than their designated “black” or “hispanic” or “woman” job

Just watched THE WILD ROBOT. It stinks! Critics seem to have liked it and I was just flabbergasted by the low quality of the script. Some beautiful images, some delightful moments, but it has that terrible habit of needing every moment to be a crescendo.

i think im going to give the keys to the imperial treasury to a guy from carthage in front of the praetorians im firing

I'm glad that America is doing real classic end of empire stuff. A king who is visibly losing his mind declaring a war based on a dream he had. Greedy courtiers feuding over access to the treasury. Some looks are timeless.
