Presumably just knowing someone the U.S. *THINKS* might be a terrorist is enough to get killed. In other words, we kill who the fuck we want, and if you don’t like it, well, fuck off. Popular entertainment remains (and intensifies) white people killing, beating up, and driving cars very fast. Film franchises such as Fast and Furious, now in its 6th or 7th installment, are presented as morality plays — simple soap opera level narratives that are squeezed in between car chases and all with the exaggerated and magnified sound of car engines. The message is always the same, the U.S. military is the highest moral achievement possible. Support your Troops. Hoo-ha. Moral nullity meets aesthetic nullity.There is now a formatting of the new Empire’s user-manual: torture, extrajudicial murder, surveillance, and the increasing automation of murder means this stretching of the very idea of ethics and morality to the point where reason itself is colonized, and made to conform. And the culture industry increasingly reflects this. Directors such as Chris Nolan, Zach Snyder, Michael Bay, Guy Ritchie, and really Joss Whedon, and J.J. Abrams too, are producing much the same film. Nolan and Snyder are the hard authoritarian end of the spectrum, and Whedon and Abrams the soft liberal authoritarian end, but really, the same message permeates this work — the necessity for state violence, masculinity IS violence, authority must use power to keep (fill in blank…aliens, criminals, viruses, women…) in line. A discussion of the misogyny in the films from these directors would necessitate another whole post, but I think it would be worthwhile to look at women in DC and Marvell comics. One must develop aesthetic resistance — a pedagogy of radical culture. The conclusion I leave to Giroux:
Also, I didn't realize that Don't Hug Me I'm Scared carries a deeper message than it seems on the surface, but it does! I am impressed. :) It might be because I didn't pay enough attention to the details when I watched it.

Speaking of which, I'm impatiently sitting around hoping my check comes in the mail today so I can go get a laptop
Makes me feel guilty for getting my own hopes up...it was mailed on Tuesday, so it should be here any day, but because I WANT IT so much it won't be soon :(
A Garalde of some sort. Adobe Garamond is fairly close to it (be aware, though, only its romans are based on Claude Garamond's types; the italics are based on Robert Granjon's).

^^A classification of serif faces otherwise known as "oldstyles". They are defined by moderate stroke contrast (where the thin parts are usually diagonally placed) and a vague resemblance to calligraphic form. Along with Venetians, they are the serif counterpart to the sans serif genre of humanists.

Ugh, I can't go laptop shopping until Monday because the bank won't clear my check until the "next business day". >:(
For the record, the concept of "business days" will always be bullshit. Especially in a world where things are handed electronically and thus there is no real reason why things shouldn't be processed instantly.

This, so much this.
I got an email today from one of the services I use to get digital gift cards for Amazon telling me that my account was being reviewed and it could take up to fourteen business days. What the hell, guys.
Not fully sure why my account even needs to be reviewed in the first place but wateva, wateva.
Also my family is discussing whether or not our water frog Margaret is pregnant or just fat. I find this discussion curious.

This reminds me of one scene from Diary of a Wimpy Kid 7 when Greg mentions his uncle's bad job track record.
"The last one he [Uncle Gary] had was over the summer, when he worked as a test subject for a company that made pepper spray. I'm pretty sure he quit before lunch."

It would probably be animated. Mario is a franchise known for kid-friendliness and Hollywood has learned that live-action isn't for everything (look at The Cat in the Hat).
