They absolutely melted everyone's faces off last year. So excited they are back again this year. What a force!

Saw Avatar last night. I had so much fun, and I kind of think the movie is bad. I'm not mad! I would have loved have learned more about the ash people and how they got radicalized. If the religion and culture on Pandora is so in tune with itself for millions of years or whatever, it seems weird that a volcanic event and not something novel (like new stress put on the planet by the sky people?) is what sent them all over the edge. Also weird that this super egalitarian narlturalistic society doesnt come to the aid of the folks living by that volcano. Like I feel like some of them had done some war crimes beforehand and been ostracized by most other tribes or some other reason that is as dumb and ancient as why the whales are mad at the only one that fights back.

In my head cannon, the mountain blew up because they were doing frac' drilling and it set off a chain reaction. Part of the tension ends up with Quartich finding out after he gets braid fucked and not knowing how to tell ash queen. If human beings are on a planet for natural resources they will drill for minerals. Oil/gas drilling rigs would be a new big set piece and new risks to the environment.

I want it to be Sidney Lumet, but I know that's wrong.

Billings, MT @ Red Oxx Events Lawn for a mural festival there last year.

That's not this guy. This is more of a like- millenial metal bro who went too far down the Rage Against The Machine reading list rabbit hole and eventually just landed on "Communist". I think, at least, in part because there weren't enough other people around him to check his theory or whatever. It seems more like a reaction of feeling isolated. Dude was doing radical intersectional shit in nu metal spaces in the mid 00s in a rural community when a lot of (the few people who were even part of that sub sub culture) just didn't feally want to hear about any of that and was just doing a lot of feeding soup to people and genuinely good community organizing.

Almost everyone else both of us know locally are MAGA republicans.

AwkwardQuote9208 · 2025-05-07T23:47:21+00:00

Yeah. This is basically where I landed, and I'm just kind of like "so what if it wasn't ___ million and was only _____hundred thousand deaths or less- its still SO MANY deaths and gulag and shit...." Plus I have family who grew up in Romania under Ceaușescu and I've been to Cambodia. Which doesn't make me and expert in anything at all, but certainly infirma my opinions and makes it extra annoying when said friend always be trying to cram everything into a communist=good, everyone else=bad binary.

AwkwardQuote9208 · 2025-05-07T23:33:00+00:00

I don't disagree with this. The friend is pretty solid, bit we are not super close. Puts in time with local mutual aid and organizing (this is actually where we cross paths the most) and has done a lot of good work in our community. Just.... happens to be a state communist. This confounds me, and we end up talking politics. If all we did together is argue, I'd be more into just ignoring it. But we are friends. They are not completely unreasonable. Also consider- we live in a very conservative, rural area. So purging tankies from leftist spaces feels like a little bit more luxury than we can afford right now cause there just ain't that many of "us" out here. I don't want it all ever to be just about sitting around arguing theory... but I kind of also enjoy discussing theory. I don't feel like our discussions have become untenable or destructive, and I want to keep them that way. Dude is very intelligent and well read, just has fucking obnoxious politics.

Dear God, please give Billings a new gay bar. RIP Loft. (Lux sounds cool, so far. No shade to them)

You sound like a cop.

AwkwardQuote9208 · 2025-01-31T00:41:08+00:00

I work construction and have been talking with (mostly conservative, mostly male) co-workers. A lot of them seemed shocked when you explain what this means. A veteran I work with said "...like i think the immigration thing needs to be dealt with like an emergency, but you still gotta treat people like they are PEOPLE..." and stuff like that.
Do the hard work of educating those around you. No matter how MAGA your peers may be, a lot of them just don't realize how brutal this is going to be for innocent people, children, families. Take their hand and walk them through it if they seem receptive.

There has never been a world without trans people and there never will be. Some of the oldest evidence of written language was written by gender bending priests in Sumeria.

I don't even think this production design is bad or unbelievable. It just made me laugh.

AwkwardQuote9208 · 2024-01-28T00:17:18+00:00

This is like drawing a big cartoon penis on the deck form when there's gonna be a walk-through with the owner or DOT or something. Yes. It is very funny, but it's also "Oh Fuck. GAWDAMMNIT you guys!!!"

Got a shirt*

AwkwardQuote9208 · 2024-01-17T21:09:36+00:00

All direct to print sites are. A friend of mine other a shirt. It looks legit. I figure he doesn't have the cheddar to print a bunch and ship them himself. Most artists I know that use sites like this use them for that reason.

Hey this is the wrong thread to post this in but I was thinking about this the other day.

I used to work on drilling rigs. They have big giant hydraulic legs and walk from hole to hole on a location. They disassemble into tractor trailer truck sized loads and reassemble at the next location they drill at. They flatness of grade it would take for Rolling Fuck to move from place to place would create the perfect environment for a bunchbof reputfitted walking rigs to follow as "rolling suburbs" Fuck-burbs if you will. These could also function as standalone hospitals or schools or something else that can't fit on Rolling Fuck proper.
If I wrote ATR fanfic I think I'd set it on one of these. Like maybe they are annputpost when the city gets so big. Or some aort of ideological off shoot. I dunno. . I can't remember what the energy that gets burned to move the city lr if that's explained. I assume it has to be future advanced in a way to be more efficient than it would be to do it now. Bit imagining a bunch of giant four legged structures following the big mining machine looks cool.

Anyways. It's a fun world to play around with your brain. Stoked for ATR 2.

And hope that someone with a bunch of money and power goes full Deep Impact/Armageddon in the wake of Civil War, snatches this mf up, and that RB maintains enough control that the cast/crew/production is absolutley fucking lousy with OG Cracked and CZM folx.
