CinemaTherapy, Tone Policing, Mace Windu

The CinemaTherapy video on Palpatine contains, I will say it nicely, opinions about the Jedi in general that I disagree with, (I love most of their videos, and their advice on avoiding manipulation in this one is useful and good, I hope it helps people, etcetera) but what I want to talk about is the specific moment where they mention Mace Windu for literally half a second.

At 14:07-14:29, they say, (copying directly from the episode transcript):

Jono: But what Anakin is not mature enough or mindful enough or experienced enough to be aware of, is that he's being steered right, and that Palpatine is doing it deliberately to drive a wedge between Anakin and the people he cares about and who care about him. At least a few of them do. Um, not Mace. Mace. Come on...

Anakin [ROTS clip]: I must go, Master.

Mace [ROTS clip]: No.

Alan: Do better, man.

Jono: Do better, Mace.

I firmly don’t know what explanation there is for this other than tone policing of a black man. Whether it’s CinemaTherapy’s problem specifically, or if they’ve just been drinking the fandom koolaid I don’t know, but it’s a problem either way. Let me explain.

The casualness of the remarks is wild. There is a full eyeroll, and several *theatrically* shaken heads. The transcript does not fully convey how out of place it feels watching it. It's almost to the point where I really want to give the benefit of the doubt and believe it's sarcasm, but the rest of the video does really not support that assumption. (If this is my failure of interpreting other humans, and it was sarcasm, then forgive me, I suppose).

I’m not even sure what aspect of Mace's behavior toward Anakin they’re addressing? The ROTS clip they choose to play of him—presumably an attempt to highlight whatever they’re talking about—is from Mace telling Anakin to stay behind when he's going to face Palpatine.

Of all the moments, if I was ever going to try and construct a “Mace is mean to Anakin specifically narrative,” I would not pick that one? It’s quite literally the chillest interaction they have in all three movies? If I was them, and trying to actually showcase an “Anakin’s doesn’t get enough affirmation or connection from the Jedi,” narrative, I would choose a scene like when Mace says Anakin won’t be trained. At least there you could make a argument that the council’s decision could’ve been explained a bit less bluntly, and that there’s something of a “conversations that adults should be having privately are instead occurring in front of a child” situation.

The casualness of the remark, the “Do better, Mace” and the knowing head shakes, those matter. The way they’re just tossed in, as if every audience member will instantly agree and chuckle at how of course Mace Windu is being mean and rude, they tell the casual Star Wars viewer that this is a universally accepted position, when it is not.

It also supposes the idea that Mace owes Anakin special emotional labor. A relationship therapist might, I don’t know, consider the relationship between Anakin, Mace, and the very relevant context of the interaction before making this judgement? Mace is not one of Anakin’s friends, confidants, or even a member of his lineage. He is, especially in the moment they chose to highlight, the leader of the Jedi Order. Anakin’s boss, to oversimplify, and the leader of Anakin’s people, to say the truth. He’s worried about the fate of the entire galaxy at that specific moment!

And guess what? He’s not even being rude, at all. He’s being direct, that’s it.

If they had chosen to highlight the line, "If what you have told me is true, you will have gained my trust," and talked about Mace not trusting Anakin, I might have been willing to humor this argument out of respect for the relevant textual evidence and for the sake of having some peace. But no, in their own words, this is about, "Anakin and the people he cares about and who care about him." This remark is about care, not trust.

And guess what again? Despite all of the other things he has to think about, Mace is considering Anakin’s feelings here. He isn’t telling Anakin to stay behind because he doesn’t want Anakin to be allowed to participate is the cool fun lethal lightsaber duel. He does it because Anakin is emotionally compromised. Even if you think of the the Jedi as flawed, you cannot think taking Anakin to fight Sidious would be a good, safe, or healthy idea? Would you take the person who you’re just figuring out has probably been groomed for years into a violent confrontation with their abuser?

Mace Windu is doing everything, thinking of everything, and caring about everything in this scene, and yet fans still find fault with him. They still find him insufficient and mean.

Opinions like these are not subtle, they are not cute, and they are deeply influenced by what Mace looks like in relationship to what to what Anakin looks like.

Step back, examine scenes for what actually occurs in them, rather than what larger fandom and larger society tells you is happening in them. This is the core of analyzing and creating art. What do you see in the world that others do not? I beg of you, see Mace Windu for once.

(If I was going harder, I would talk about how I think their very lame opinions of the Jedi are causing them to actually miss some of the depth of Sidious’ manipulation (including leaving out so much as a mention of the scene where Obi-Wan very explicitly tells Anakin he’s proud of him), but again, for the interpretation they’ve decided on their advice seems good, so I’ll leave it alone.)

alan ritchson, gay, male + he/him, fighter «—◦—→ well met, dallas charming ! the godling born child of iris. it’s been thirty-eight years and now they have answered the song in their veins. can he change the course of history with their hardworking, appealing, + observant ? or will their  naive, mischievous, manipulative hinder them? only time will tell before this godling’s name is sung into myth and legend!

name: Dallas Tyler Charming nicknames: Charming date of birth: 04/27/1985 age: Thirty-Eight face claim: Alan Ritchson godly parent: Iris height: 6'2 dominant hand: Right education level: Masters Degree occupation: Reporter

parents: Austin and Virginia Charming. siblings: N/A pets: N/A

astrological sign: Taurus positive traits: Appealing, Observant, Hardworking, Kind-hearted . negative traits: Naive, Mischievous, Manipulative, Hard headed. habits: He has the habit of sitting back and watching everyone around him. He's not one who's quick to jump into rambunctious activities until he can get a lay of how everyone acts. quirks: His biggest quirk is he always has to have on his father's watch. It's a gold watch, and on the face of the clock is a rainbow shift of sorts. pet peeves: He has a thing against people who constantly fall short. He thrives with dependability, so when he comes to the conclusion you cannot be counted on, he's done. hobbies: Loves riding his motorcycle and has a thing for reading.

sexual orientation: Gay. sexual position: Vers.

clothing style: Over the years, his fashion had evolved. Typically, people could find him wearing form fitting jeans and tight t-shirts. He was known to spark up a blazer and a nice button up for certain occasions, but typically, he was dressed more casual. prominent features: His smile, his rather beefy chest, his muscles.

what were they doing when they hear the song of their godling blood? He was chasing down a lead right at dawn. Just as he had come across a ground breaking piece of information for his story, something felt different. Almost like he'd found his calling.

class: Fighter. inspirations: Lois Lane from DC Comics, Dazzler from Marvel , Paige Matthews from Charmed, Frankie from Rizzoli and Isles, Tru Davies from Tru Calling. biography: Dallas was born to two hardworking, loving parents named Austin and Virginia in a small town outside of Denver, Colorado. It seemed rather fitting for them. His father was an ex-military man, and his mother, well, she was a very big free spirit. Something about her had captured his father's heart, made him softer than he appeared. Growing up, he always had that hard work could make anything happened instilled into him. Something both of his parents took very seriously. From a young age, it was clear he had a love for writing and reading. It was very rare someone didn't catch the boy with a book in hand or near him. Through adolescence, he began to venture out from his love for literature and found himself falling in love with sports and working out. From the age of thirteen, he started playing baseball. It became his great love. Hell, it was what took him all the way to college, but once he got there, suddenly, he found his heart torn between baseball and writing. At Colorado State, in-between games and practices, he was writing for the college paper. Helping explore and expose different things around campus. The jock had his name front line and centered for his work on the story of the collegiate sports teams illegal substance usage. That was what ended his time on the team pretty quick. As Virginia always told him, once a door closes, find that open window and soar. So, he continued on through college to obtain a masters degree in Journalism. Everyday that he walked into the newspaper where he worked, he had framed pieces from headlines he wrote, his degree and, well, a bunch of sticky notes. For years, he worked hard, fought against anything that came his way, and he made a name for himself as being one of the best damn journalists in the US. He felt that his calling was to tell and show the world the truth, the darkness, the light. That was until he found his true calling..

when placed in context with this, I do wonder if some of the dissonance I felt with Saga's story is intentional (instead of a difference in writing tastes). I've already elaborated on it elsewhere, but it's interesting how she is presented as having the most "normal" circumstances (a job, a nuclear family) while being possibly the least normal person around - a woman sitting at the convergence of two paranatural bloodlines. the "story" that Saga is drawn into is a very human one of grief and failure. her "reality" is distinctly not human - not just a parentage far beyond human, but her problems conveniently wrapped up and discarded in the form of a "story," and her paranatural ancestry shielding her from the worst of it.

both Saga and Casey occupy a position in the story where they are insistent that they are not characters and are their own people, but are nevertheless so thoroughly shaped by other characters and circumstances that there's almost a dark comedy to it. it's an interesting contrast to Alan, who knows that he's dancing to someone else's tune and is writing himself towards being "fictional" (as in, a paranatural being, something beyond human) - and those same fictional struggles are so thoroughly grounded in real, human problems that it's uncomfortable to watch and experience at times.

I think I've said it elsewhere, but it'd be fascinating if that was set-up for Saga having to grapple with always having had one foot in another world and being unaware of it for so long. with her life being built on a tenuous ground of falsehoods.

the way Remedy games skirt so close to the fourth wall without committing the sin of being ironic about it is good. like, Casey does not exist in his own right as a character. from the Doylist perspective, he's there as narrative scaffolding for Saga and for Alan, one of several unifying vertices they share. from the Watsonian perspective, Alan unknowingly pulled details from Casey's life for his writing, and it freaks Casey out. he is so mad and so insistent that he's not a character to be yanked around, because he's having to contend with the growing fear that he is - that at least some of his life is not his own.

and that is true. from the Doylist perspective, if Saga and Alan's stories didn't require him to exist, then he wouldn't. there's also the fact that he's a thinly-veiled reference to Max Payne, a character from a different game. he is entirely formed out of these other characters.

so we've got this character who is upset about his perceived role in the "story." in the Watsonian story? sure, he exists outside of it, and he's right to insist that he's his own person beyond it. but in the Doylist story? he's right to worry that he isn't his own person at all.

in a way, he's aware that he is a secondary character in a video game, without the game having to wink-wink at you about it. and the tension from this narrative overlap and contradiction is treated very earnestly, even when it's in the middle of goofy metatextual musical numbers and missable short snuff films and a running joke about how he looks like that one guy in real life.

Pulp Storytime #79: Where women glow…and men plunder!

Don’t believe everything you write in the papers.

A hot December day down under.  Trudy Truman, ace reporter, is finally back in the newsroom of the Melbourne Age. Despite her award-winning stories, she’s alienated her coworkers by being a gallivanting rich girl. She wins them back though, taking point on a difficult mining story on the far side of the country. She may be haughty, but her sheer -enthusiasm- is charming. Uptown, freelance butler Aldous Bingen is charming without a hint of enthusiasm. The staff is moving in tremendous quantities of new furniture. There is nearly a snafu… Until Aldous spies a porter holding a floor plan upside down. The doorbell rings. The prodigal daughter is home for lunch.

"Trudy?"  "Bingen?" "Wait, did you invite Professor Callahan?" "I think he invited himself…"

Lunch was a spectacle. Bingen tried to cough and tut the prof into good behavior. Mr. and Mrs. Truman were eager to talk about Trudy's career… But did she have to do so much international travel? Thankfully, there was more moving to do. Trudy was suspicious when her father forbade her to cover Aussie mining. She put two and two together when she saw all the new crates. But prying would provoke an argument… And a reporter should have more than one source. That meant talking to daddy’s financial manager. He couldn’t tell her anything… Until she threatened to withdraw -her- funds. The money-man wheedled, cajoled, begged… In the waiting room, Aldous mapped a tasteful, tranquil garden. Callahan stared at the secretary, who stared back even harder. Soon, Trudy emerged, smiling like the cat who caught the canary. But she had something better: the name and financial records of daddy’s new, successful mine, all the way in Western Australia. The Alan Arani was currently with Jonesy in New Zealand, so the group had to rely on professor Callahan’s plane. Under the influence of Captain Ivanova, Callahan named his plane "The Spectre [of communism]". It could do the job, but it wasn’t the DC-3 the gang was used to. They soared above the sweltering city, into the freezing air. They make good time; Aldous was an able second pilot, so there was no need to break for a sleep break. They arrived in the quiet town of Woomera a few days later, and learned about the situation. The Big Bend mine was active again after years of bad luck. Not just active; it was impossibly productive. Jade, ruby, tanzanite, carnelian, gold and silver… All were there. And unfortunately for the miners, others had taken notice.  The gang woke up early, dressed down, and headed for the Bend. Itinerant laborers were blocking the tunnel! They were willing to work hard, any shift, to feed their families. The union miners weren’t going to go along with that. Violence was imminent. Aldous hustled to gather a vox populi report. Trudy name-dropped several famous Australian mining disasters… it didn’t matter how much enthusiasm they had, letting newbies in endangered everybody. The itinerants left, despite Winston’s grumbling towards communism. Trudy was thanked by the Big Bend’s foreman… who immediately recognized her as an outsider, and then as the eldest Truman daughter. There were plenty of reasons not to allow the boss's daughter, and a famous journalist, into the mine, but Tru had a baffle-gab answer for all of them. The rumors were true… The walls of the mine were studded with gems. But at the bottom level of the mine was a strange pink liquid, ankle deep. Honore de Balzac said:

Behind every great fortune lies a great crime.

Professor Winston Callahan knows a little of everything. Or maybe too much of everything, because he recognized what had happened. The gems were the scales of the rainbow serpent of aboriginal myth. The pink liquid was psychotropic blood, a link to the dreamtime. His attempt to subtly inform his companions led to a panic. None of them were adroit liars. They just barely held it together long enough to fool the foreman. 'Money was good, no problems here, gotta go, don’t tell Trudy’s dad she was here'. This was an ethical crisis. Trudy had already spent the newspaper's money to investigate the case. If she reported it as a hoax, any loose rumor would sink her career. And even if the workers kept quiet, someone'd notice if they all got houses and boats. Then again, the truth was just as bad. She had betrayed her father, attacked the family's pocketbook, and indirectly aided the exploitation and torture of a mythic creature. And doing nothing wasn’t possible… There was no proof that a kilometer-long serpent could be peeled forever. They had to move the serpent… But how? It wasn’t something that aeronautics or butlering could answer. There was one lead Trudy could follow up on…She knew of a shaman who could help them. But he lived in the outback. And they didn’t bring enough aviation fuel for a detour. They would have to drive. Journeying through Western Australia is hard. Hard navigationally; in 1935, it was largely unmapped. After a few hours in the wrong direction, Aldous corrected Trudy’s driving in what he considered a 'polite' way. Tensions were raised.  The physical side was worse than the emotional. Aldous had lived his adult life in a tux, so going down to an undershirt and shorts was a vacation. Callahan, used to the chillier parts of the northern hemisphere, turned into a sweat soaked mess. (Mad dogs and Englishman, and all that.) When they got to Wolfe Creek crater, Winston was eager to lie in the shade. There, the shaman, very confused to receive visitors, taught them a ritual to awaken the serpent. Unfortunately, they’d still have to free it… Without destroying the mine. (Instead of playing out the return trip, we did a cutaway to Trudy’s younger sister confronting her asset management team, wondering where she went and why no one had seen her in nearly a week. Everyone had fun with the staring secretary.) Back in Woomera, Bingen, who lives to serve, made sure to telegraph the family and let everyone know Trudy was OK. It was unclear if he knew that telegrams include their station of origin... The trio had what they needed. The plan is made: sneak into the mine, modify the tunneling equipment, awaken the creature, and pretend it did it all on its own. *** Subtlety is a specialty of Aldous’s, so the infiltration goes well. Modifying equipment outside of specification isn’t a specialization for the professor; it’s more a hyper-fixation. The project takes all night, but he’s and wise to put in extra effort… because when the creature flees to the sky, it nearly hits the Alan Arani!  The group tried to flee, but their only real means of escape was the airfield, A.K.A. the empty patch of ground where the Spectre was parked. When Daddy landed, reporter Trudy finally told him the truth…. The blood of the creature, shed while escaping, made the mine non-operational. A write-off, hopefully. Unless someone wanted to corner the market in psychotropic gems…

Tiroid ve Meme Hastalıklarında Biyopsi ve Ultrasonun Rolü

Modern tıp, hastalıkların erken teşhisi ve doğru tedavi yöntemlerinin belirlenmesi açısından büyük ilerlemeler kaydetmiştir. Özellikle tiroid ve meme hastalıklarının tanısında biyopsi ve ultrason gibi görüntüleme teknikleri büyük bir öneme sahiptir.

Tiroid Biyopsisi

Tiroid bezi, boynun ön kısmında yer alan ve vücudun metabolizmasını düzenleyen önemli bir organdır. Bu bezde oluşan nodüllerin iyi huylu mu yoksa kötü huylu mu olduğunu anlamak için biyopsi yapılması gerekebilir. Tiroid Biyopsisi işlemi, ince iğne aspirasyon biyopsisi (İİAB) yöntemiyle gerçekleştirilir. Bu yöntem, lokal anestezi altında yapılır ve hastaya minimal rahatsızlık verir.

Tiroid biyopsisinin en büyük avantajı, ameliyat gerektirmeden nodülün yapısını değerlendirme imkânı sunmasıdır. Özellikle ultrason eşliğinde yapılan biyopsiler, daha doğru sonuçlar vermektedir. Biyopsi sonrası elde edilen hücresel örnekler, patolojik incelemeye gönderilerek kanser riski değerlendirilir. Eğer nodül kanser şüphesi taşıyorsa, hastaya en uygun tedavi yöntemi belirlenir.

Tiroid biyopsisi sonrası hafif bir ağrı ve morarma görülebilir, ancak bu belirtiler kısa sürede kaybolur. İşlemden sonra hasta günlük aktivitelerine hemen dönebilir. Bu nedenle, tiroid nodülleri bulunan kişilerin biyopsi yaptırarak erken teşhis şansını değerlendirmesi büyük önem taşımaktadır. Prof. Dr. Güner Sönmez, tiroid biyopsisi konusunda uzmanlaşmış olup, hastalarına en doğru tanıyı koymak için ileri teknolojileri kullanmaktadır.

Meme Biyopsisi

Meme dokusunda ortaya çıkan kitlelerin iyi huylu ya da kötü huylu olup olmadığını belirlemek için biyopsi yapılması gereklidir. Meme Biyopsisi işlemi, çeşitli yöntemlerle gerçekleştirilebilir. En yaygın kullanılan biyopsi yöntemleri arasında ince iğne aspirasyon biyopsisi, tru-cut biyopsi ve vakum biyopsi yer almaktadır.

Meme biyopsisi, özellikle mamografi ve ultrason gibi görüntüleme teknikleriyle tespit edilen anormal lezyonların daha detaylı analiz edilmesini sağlar. Biyopsi sırasında alınan doku örnekleri, patolojik incelemeye tabi tutularak kanser riski değerlendirilir. Eğer kitle kötü huylu olarak belirlenirse, hastaya en uygun tedavi planı hazırlanır.

Meme biyopsisi sırasında hasta lokal anestezi ile rahatlatılır ve işlem sırasında ağrı hissi minimum seviyeye indirilir. İşlem sonrası hafif morluklar ve hassasiyet oluşabilir ancak bu etkiler kısa sürede düzelir. Meme kanserinin erken teşhisi, tedavinin başarısını büyük oranda artırdığı için biyopsi işlemi ihmal edilmemelidir. Prof. Dr. Güner Sönmez, meme biyopsisi konusunda geniş bir tecrübeye sahip olup, en doğru tanıyı koymak için son teknoloji cihazları kullanmaktadır.

Tiroid Ultrasonu

Tiroid bezi hastalıklarının teşhisinde en sık kullanılan görüntüleme yöntemlerinden biri Tiroid Ultrasonudur. Bu yöntem, radyasyon içermeyen ve ağrısız bir şekilde tiroid bezinin detaylı bir şekilde incelenmesini sağlar. Ultrason, tiroid nodüllerinin büyüklüğünü, yapısını ve kan akışını değerlendirmek için kullanılır.

Tiroid ultrasonu sırasında, ultrason probu boyun bölgesine yerleştirilerek yüksek frekansta ses dalgaları gönderilir. Bu dalgalar, tiroid bezinden yansıyarak bilgisayar ekranına görüntü olarak yansır. Böylece tiroidin genel yapısı ve varsa nodüllerin özellikleri hakkında detaylı bilgiler elde edilir.

Tiroid ultrasonu, tiroid kanseri riski taşıyan hastalarda biyopsi gerekip gerekmediğini belirlemede de önemli bir rol oynar. Eğer ultrason bulguları riskli bir nodüle işaret ediyorsa, biyopsi önerilir. Ayrıca, tiroid ultrasonu, Hashimoto tiroiditi gibi otoimmün hastalıkların teşhisinde de kullanılmaktadır.

İşlem sırasında hastanın aç olması gerekmez ve herhangi bir ön hazırlık yapmasına ihtiyaç duyulmaz. Tiroid ultrasonu tamamen güvenli bir yöntemdir ve her yaştan hastaya uygulanabilir. Prof. Dr. Güner Sönmez, tiroid ultrasonu konusunda uzman olup, en doğru teşhisi koyabilmek için en gelişmiş ultrason cihazlarını kullanmaktadır.

The First Amendment and the Chilmark Library

By Emma Babashak, Columbia University, Class of 2024

July 14, 2023

Last summer, The Chilmark Free Public Library, located on the island of Martha’s Vineyard, did not invite defense attorney and retired Harvard law professor Alan Dershowitz to speak at its library. Dershowitz, a frequent Martha’s Vineyard visitor, claimed that this lack of invitation was a form of censorship and infringed on his First Amendment right of free speech. Dershowitz threatened to sue the library, but he later issued a letter of apology.

Dershowitz is known for his work in American criminal law and constitutional law. In his career, he has represented many high-profile clients, including Jeffrey Epstein, Mike Tyson, and O.J. Simpson. From 2009 to 2017, Dershowitz spoke at the Chilmark library seven times – four times by invitation and three times at his own request.[1]

In 2020, he was a part of President Trump’s defense team for the president’s first impeachment trial. However, Dershowitz claimed that after speaking at the library on a regular basis, this new role is one reason he was “cancelled” not only at the Chilmark Library, but at multiple venues in Martha’s Vineyard.

In an interview last year, Dershowitz stated, “Every year, they would have an overflow crowd to hear me speak about whatever book I was writing, or whatever I was doing. But suddenly, after I represented the Constitution on behalf of President Trump, the library found excuses for never having me. Their first excuse was that my crowds were too big. So I said, “Well, why don’t you limit the crowds?” They said, “Oh, we hadn’t thought of that.” … So I’ve been cancelled, basically, by the Chilmark Library”.[2]

The First Amendment states that, “Congress shall make no law respecting an establishment of religion, or prohibiting the free exercise thereof; or abridging the freedom of speech, or of the press; or the right of the people peaceably to assemble, and to petition the Government for a redress of grievances”.[3] Because of this fundamental right, the Chilmark Library had to show that there was “compelling reason” to disallow someone from utilizing the First Amendment and speaking in the space.

According to the MV Times, library director Ebba Hierta said that in past years, “The reason I grew reluctant to extend invitations to Alan [Dershowitz] is this: The circus that surrounds this man who so ably courts controversy got in the way of the library’s important mission — serving the residents and visitors of Chilmark. When 200-plus people crammed into the library, with dozens more milling about harassing staff because they couldn’t hear the lecture; when local businesses lost money because our patrons filled their parking lots; when patrons not interested in hearing Alan could not take care of their library business; that’s when I realized the eminent Harvard professor emeritus had outgrown our little library”.[4] In addition, the trustees of the library claimed that last summer, Dershowitz had requested to talk after the summer schedule had already been finalized.

In contrast to last summer, Dershowitz was allowed to speak in Summer 2023. At the Chilmark Library, he gave a talk on his new book, “Dershowitz on Killing: How the Law Decides Who Shall Live and Who Shall Die”.  While the library had set an attendance limit at 25 for Dershowitz’s event, this capacity was not exceeded by listeners. In this talk, Dershowitz highlighted his advocacy for organ donation and belief against the death penalty, but he did not mention his previous controversy with the library.[5]

Clarke stared at the... whatever it was. It looked like a bit, except it.. wasn't alive.

"Hmmm... I think I'll name you Enigma," she murmured, setting the not-bit on her bunk.
