Fantasies of Revolution

As we get daily news reports of the New York police trying to find the man that killed the United Healthcare CEO, Brian Thompson, we see a rising of the people. The unification of the lower class. The death of a man who has been the cause of countless lost lives is to the benefit of us all. The words "Deny" "Defend" "Defend" echo in our minds just as the shell casings did when they dropped to the ground. We can only hope that his fervor does not die down, though I fear it will. Syria has made its dictator flee. South Korea put a stop to tyranny before it ever began. Georgia is fighting to be heard by its government. France voted to remove their far-right prime minister.

With the incoming presidency of Donald Trump, we cannot falter now. This momentum cannot stop. We are the people. We are the employers of the politicians. Make them hear you. Deny their power. Defend the people. Depose the rulers. Vote them out. Fire them. Show them that you are angry.

Earlier this year, I wrote a short rant piece about getting my family to wake up from the delusions that the far-right were promising them. I never showed it to them because it was filled with anger that they would never listen to. Now I call to the words that were in my head for days on end, "Wake up. Get up." Do not let this momentum die. Companies are trying to hide who their upper level executive people are. They are scared of the people.

A cover of Les Mis's "Do You Hear the People Sing" by the.real.eden on tiktok has been particularly powerful for me. I've listened to it over and over. I hope that the politicians and wealthy hear the people sing the song of angry men. I hope we are loud enough. I fear that this is simply just accumulation of fantasies of revolution with nothing to back it up. I fear that this will become the "there are flowers blooming in Antarctica." I fear that this will become a left vs. right instead of the working vs. wealthy. The wealthy fear a coherent and unified working class for a reason. They fear unions. They fear us. They fear those willing to fight for what is right. Do not let this momentum die down. Do not let our angry cries be silenced.

I forgot to update my blog about Radio Silence. Yes I finished it. I finished it a while ago actually. Yes I hyperfixated on it. Yes I loved it. Yes I will probably reread it several times (when I have time and am not busy with course work).

"Biker Mice From Mars" Comic Book Incoming

Oni Press, in partnership with Nacelle and Maximum Effort, has announced a new Biker Mice From Mars comic book series. The series hails from writer Melissa Flores and artist Frances Portela. The comic will be part of the Nacelleverse, revealed in Nacelleverse #0.

"Best friends Throttle, Modo, and Vinnie, just three anthropomorphic, motorcycle-riding mice who called Mars home . . . and were always bad to the bone. But when the ruthless Plutarkians stage a mass invasion to strip their planet of its precious resources, their antiauthoritarian streak is going to turn into a full-blown insurgency. Only the Biker Mice from Mars can prevent the mass destruction of Earth’s nearest planetary neighbor . . . and the freedom of our entire solar system may just hang in the balance." (Oni Press) 

Biker Mice From Mars goes on sale on July 2024. Covers are by Dustin Weaver, Juan Gedeon, Roger Cruz, Ramon Villalobos, and Francis Portela.

In related news, Nacelle is also developing a new Biker Mice From Mars animated series. Brian Volk-Weiss will direct and serve as an executive producer. Production on the series is by Nacelle, Maximum Effort, and Fubo.

In 2021, the French/German station ARTE broadcast the documentary La Vie de Brian Jones/Das Kurze Leben des Brian Jones/The Short Life of Brian Jones. Here Bill Wyman declares, unequivocally, "If there was no Brian Jones, there'd be no Rolling Stones." This clip includes German dubbing, but the English is still pretty easy to make out.
