If Chicago has a million fans, then I am one of them. If Chicago has no fans, that means I am no more on the Earth.

This film is one of the greatest formal achievements at the level of craft I've ever seen. It solves the exact problem that its subject is about. Does it so well in fact that the strongest qualities are almost entirely unsung from what I've seen. It's literary naturalism that follows the logic of the protagonist through and through and has the restraint to not add to it, which follows exactly at the level of narrative structure and formal presentation that Lou himself performs with his nightcrawling. It's an exceptionally *logical* film that shows the natural unnaturalness of nature. The progression of his activity makes perfect sense and proceeds from encounter to reaction to prediction to causation. People see it as a thriller with a good performance but miss things like him keeping a plant, a slight glitch in the clinical sociopath read. That reframes his developmental trajectory because it's a conscious deliberate choice to tend the needs of another living being. The mirror rage, the cartoons, the mimicking old films. He wasn't always like that. Somewhat alien, but not necessarily cold. And these are the few moments where Lou is *unedited*, he edits all his presentation and interaction. These moments perform nightcrawling on Lou himself, and the film achieves exactly the kind of framing that Lou himself talks about, the dissolution between the viewing subject and the surrounding frame. The critique is that there is no critique, only naturalistic presentation. It *is* a success story. He is a self-made (he barely has any coherent prior self) American businessman and whatever horror emerges comes simply for clear recognition of what that can mean. Very intelligent and precise film.

had my kindergarten students mix their own colors with paint and then give the colors a name… the names were cute like “peachy yellow” “turquoise surf” “mega green” but one kid inexplicably named his “format”

@reverse_faults @billyteeth @dee1yume @ANerdNamedJerry I agree, I just don’t see how someone can demand emotional devotion from their partner while also thinking sexual devotion an absurd thing to ask. As a monogamous person, I find it hypocritical for other monogamous people to act like not watching porn is too much to ask.

this whole "should you watch porn in a relationship" discourse could be solved if y'all just realized you're supposed to sit down and set clear boundaries with your partner that you're both comfortable with

@billyteeth @dee1yume @ANerdNamedJerry How can this argument not be applied to monogamy. Can’t one argue that is excessive to try to control one’s romantic thoughts to just one person with this logic? I think it’s a hypocritical opinion that one can satisfy their lust with multiple women but not romance with others

@AuthorialGail @WxPolitics15 This is something I've been trying to navigate while trying to make sense of what historical narratives to lean on to help reach folks amidst decades of anti-communist propaganda; do you have books you'd recommend on the seminole wars?

@WxPolitics15 It’s a bias in the history and also a fundamental misunderstanding of the US and its relationship to imperialism. There’s never been a time with this entity hasn’t been at war with its surroundings and I don’t think socialists here understand what that means for our movement

What’s kind of funny about this wave of socialist patriotism for the US is that there were wars *against* the US that were waged for a majority of this nation’s existence and against its expansion that you would a think there would be more curiosity about but alas

@yugopnik It's protocol for the US president and vice president to not be at the same location together when abroad to insure redundancy. As a person in the U.s you should at least know this.

@kalonge93 His thesis that the British were more historically progressive is false. American slave plantations exported 80% of their cotton to British textiles. British banks funded the expansion of plantations. At the economic level it was in major part a project BY british capital. Also:

@thimblenoise @Libnotlib @kalonge93 That seems pretty reductionist. His point in the book is that even slight *gesturing* from some British towards abolition as a strategy for combating its european rivals was perceived as an existential threat to american slavers, pushing them towards supporting independence

@Libnotlib @kalonge93 No I mean like he constructs this dichotomy between good abolitionist Brits and bad slaver Americans. When in reality they were both bad. Not to mention there is the Native American aspect to consider

@mindyisser No. This is a known virus and its characteristics are not similar enough to COVID to be worried. Folks online are having an understandable trauma response, but public health officials are pretty decidedly unconcerned beyond helping those currently affected.
