Zachary Levi’s descent into the alt right pipeline has been sad to watch

I don’t think he’s alright I think he’s just made some dumb choices. But I think he’s overall a good person?

[saywhen]

ray was carrying a stack of books down the aisle when he heard the door to his shop open. he peeked around the stack and offered a smile. “welcome to ray’s occult... are you looking for anything in particular?” he asked as he carefully moved closer to the woman.

@the-arkham-librarian​ gets ray too!!!

She’s a human woman in casual alt clothing, including a dark hoodie, doc martins, and a wrinkled shirt with the old tumblr logo. Yes, her jeans are cuffed. She wears fingerless arm warmers and a kandi bracelet that says nov 5. She has an asymmetrical haircut that covers half of her face, which is towards the viewer. She sits on the floor (there is no background) and grins smugly. End ID]

Know Nothings, conspiratorialism and Pastel Q

As the Qanon prophecies fail and the cult-members struggle to resolve their cognitive dissonance, it's a good time to revisit the history of paranoid, conspiratorial political movements in American history - the "paranoid style" that has dominated since the Revolution.

After all, the very first skirmishes of the US war of independence were based on a conspiracy theory: that the levy on tea was a prelude to a sellout of the colonists to transnational mercantalist interests. US politics have always been conspiratorial.

I found Zachary Karabell's Politico history of the Know Nothing party especially useful, as it tells the story of what happens when surging, paranoid, fractious political movements implode.

https://www.politico.com/news/magazine/2021/01/30/heres-what-happens-to-a-conspiracy-driven-party-463944

The American Party was a secret 19th century organization founded on a conspiracy theory: that Irish immigrants were secretly planning a takeover of the US on behalf of the Pope.

The American Party believed that the Irish were coming for their jobs, and for the very culture that defined America. They circulated rumors about nuns engaging in ritual infanticide and sex-trafficking teen girls. The Qanon parallels are strong.

The American Party (later the Native American Party) started off in the shadows. If anyone asked a member about the organization, they'd say "I know nothing," which is how they came to be called the "Know Nothing Party."

The Know Nothings became a political force thanks to the vacuum left behind by the implosion of the Whig party. The KNs promulgated anti-immigrant laws that promised preferential access to jobs for native-born Americans.

But the KNs were unhinged, riven by infighting, and, after a decade and a half, they basically vanished from the American political landscape, mostly absorbed into the new Republican party.

Their legacy is mixed - on the one hand, the simmering xenophobia expressed as concern for jobs and culture on the right; on the other, the roots of the trade union movement.

For Karabell, the Qanon colonization of the Republican Party is an echo of the rise - and fall - of the Know Nothings, as a mix of conspiratorialism, legitimate anti-corruption grievance, and xenophobia triggers a collapse.

Dismissals of conspiratorial movements - for example, stories that blame Big Tech's "algorithmic radicalization" mind-control rays for conspiracism - treat conspiracies as being rooted in ideas, rather than the material world.

That's a mistake - and it's one that gives conspiracists far too much credit. Conspiracies don't take hold because Alex Jones or Marjorie Taylor Greene are so good at explaining them that they cloud their victims' minds and bypass their critical faculties.

After all, Jones and Greene are fucking idiots, not super-geniuses.

What they tap into - what predicts the rise of conspiracy - is experiencing real conspiracies that hurt you and the people that you love (another word for "real conspiracy" is "corruption").

A really striking essay about this is Snowden Stieber's "This Secret Message Could Change Your Life!" - about evangelical Christianity, wellness culture, conspiratorialism and "pastel Q" (the Instagram-spread, female-coded Qanon flavor).

https://wisetendersnob.medium.com/this-secret-message-could-change-your-life-wellness-culture-jesus-and-qanon-cd576e53c9c8

I was especially struck by the connection between "alt-nutrition" philosophies and conspiratorialism. The thing is, our food advice really has been corrupt: as Gary Tabues wrote about in his 2002 New York Times essay, "What if It's All Been a Big Fat Lie?"

https://www.nytimes.com/2002/07/07/magazine/what-if-it-s-all-been-a-big-fat-lie.html

Taubes describes how the familiar "food pyramid" that advised eating lots and lots of carbohydrates while eliminating fats had been bought-and-paid-for by Big Ag, and how that advice had triggered an obesity epidemic.

Taubes's essay hit me square in the gut. I was a fat kid, with fat grandparents, and a mom who'd fought her weight all her life. As I hit my thirties, I was assiduously eating pasta and bread (with margarine) and other low-fat, high-carb food, and getting fatter and fatter.

After reading Taubes, I switched to eating high-fat, high-protein, near-zero-carb. After a couple weeks, all my cravings disappeared. A year later, I was 100lbs lighter - without any additional exercise, on a diet of steak, cheese, and cream lattes.

I've gained about 50lbs of that back in the intervening years, 20+ of it in the past year. It's a source of real anxiety for me. I've got serious body issues, weight-gain-triggered depression that I manage, even as I exercise daily and count calories.

I couldn't keep up my all-steak diet - too much worry about my ageing body and the roasting planet - but its lesson stuck with me: corporations bought off the science of nutrition and made me miserable for decades and decades.

As Steiber writes, the people who fall into Pastel Q have had similar experiences: switching from the food and lifestyle choices that corporations and governments promote, and experiencing life-changing benefits.

The wellness movement isn't just a way for huxters to sell you supplements: it's also a response to corruption in dietary advice, driven by the commercial priorities of the increasingly monopolized packaged food, fast food, and ag industries.

Likewise, the Q conspiracy about rampant, elite, unaccountable child abuse is rooted in the real child abuse rings inside of "the Roman Catholic Church, Southern Baptists, Independent Baptists, Kundalini Yoga-centered 3HO, Shambhala Buddhism, Boy Scouts of America, college football programs, USA Gymnastics, high school sports, police departments, and US federal agencies."

Q may implode like the Know Nothings, but the corruption that gives conspiracy theories explanatory power will continue to spur new conspiratorial movements.

Attack On Titan: An Andy Muschietti Film Series - Fan Casting

Jaeden Martell as Eren Jeager Mikasa Ackerman Sunny Suljic as Armin Arlelt Dane DeHaan as Levi Ackerman Zoe Kazan as Hange Zoe (alt: Pom Klementieff) Chris Evans as Erwin Smith (alt: Michael Fassbender) Reiner Braun Bertoldt Hoover Ekaterina Samsonov as Annie Leonhart Conny Springer Sasha Braus Graham Verchere as Jean Kirschtein Grace VanderWaal as Christa Lenz Ymir Sam Claflin/Bill Skarsgard (not sure who, will decide at some point) as Zeke Jeager Corey Stoll as Grisha Jeager Natalie Brown as Carla Jeager Walton Goggins as Kenny Ackerman Michael Stuhlbarg as Rod Reiss Jeff Bridges as Zachary Pip Torrens as Dot Pyxis Keith Shadis Jessica Chastain as Petra Rall Barry Kheogan as Oruo Bozad Marlowe Freudenberg Hitch Timothy Olyphant as Eren Kruger and Derek Mears as The Colossus Titan

The people that haven’t been casted, I may come back to later, but I feel this is a good amount to post.  I may add pictures later. I tried to trend younger with the casting of the young characters, which meant that there were a lot I couldn’t find good actors for as it’s kinda hard to look up younger actors.  I wouldn’t have minded making the cast more diverse (which would open up more options for actors) but it just wouldn’t make sense in-story.  When I do fan castings, I try to cast people I like even if they might not be the conventional choice for the role - for instance, Corey Stoll seems too young to be playing Grisha considering that Zeke needs to be his son, but too old to be playing pre-walls Grisha when he’d need to look younger than Timothy Olyphant. But I like Corey Stoll, so I want to cast him. Natalie Brown, not a very well-known actress, being cast as Carla is just a reference to The Strain where she’s Corey Stoll’s ex-wife.  Patrick Stewart is the popular choice for Pyxis and could still be in the right age range, but I watched Pip Torrens in Preacher and he’s cool. Imagining this series as being directed by Andy Muschietti (who did the IT movies) also informed some of my casting choices.

SHAZAM! Brings Shock Back to Superheroes

SHAZAM! Brings Shock Back to Superheroes

~Spoiler Alert – for like, the first paragraph~

Thing I most took away from my first hiring was that the movie genuinely surprised me. And it wasn’t through a twist or reveal. In fact, it was by doing something so thematically obvious that it should be more shocking if the movie hadn’t done it – which is when Billy shared his powers with his adoptive family, turning them all into superheroes.…
