The guy installing my Internet seems bewildered that I’d rather have an ethernet cable running from the modem to my computer. It’s weird to me running a desktop system on WiFi. I came up in a time when that wasn’t really a thing and frankly, I don’t care for it.

The internet is now up and running. Apparently I have to download the company’s “smart home” app to change the network name and password. FFS. Fuck you people and your dogshit apps. Your apps are stupid and so are you.

A DC resident shared this photo. It looks like a scene from Gotham City, but no, it’s Trump’s America.

A DC resident shared this photo she took at Union Station yesterday. Looks like a scene from the Handmaid's Tale, but no, just another day of Trump's militarization of DC right now. #UnderHisEye

People actually caught the satire. They just didn't think much of it because it was done so ineptly, so hamfistedly that it made the film endearing. (The same is true of Robocop.) -The bugs weren't portrayed as sympathetic or misunderstood. Nothing in the film gave any
cinesthetic.

Starship Troopers (1997) was widely panned on release because critics didn’t catch the satire. The film isn’t just sci-fi action, it’s a biting commentary on propaganda and militarism, intentionally over-the-top to make the point.

Since my last post the view count has gone up by 10x. People are really passionate about CAT5 cable I guess.

I’m not saying they’re actually some kind of fake organization staffed by federal law enforcement types, but I wouldn’t be surprised if every third dude wasn’t an informant.

I lived in “rural America” for the last few years. It was a town of 2000 people in a county of 8000 residents and zero stoplights. My town had gigabit internet. I had cell phone connectivity across the prairie. There was AM and FM radio and, of course, television. I grew up in

NPR CEO Katherine Maher argues rural America often has no other possible source of news or connection to the outside world EXCEPT through PBS and NPR: "Large rural communities, large tribal communities" don't have "a lot of other options. Broadband service is not universal, and

Everyone is talking about Starship Troopers for some reason and boy have I got some opinions on that! Paul Verhoeven’s efforts at satire are on par with the social commentary in a Grand Theft Auto game. It’s not brilliant, subversive, or insightful; it’s clumsy and dumb. He
