I HAVE RETURNED, WITH GIGI ADVENTURE!!!!

I've been a huge fan of @stardestroyer81's latest project, Door2Door!! If y'all like 90's cartoons, go check it out! It's totally radical!! YEAH!!

[opanchu]

maybe I'm reading too much into it but when I tell ppl that aside from alt rock bands like hiperkarma and csaknekedkislány and carson coma, other hungarian artists I listen to and really love are also mulatós (party music) singers like nótár mary and some pop singers like radics gigi and they're like ohh but alt rock is the only good hungarian music genre, I wonder if they just have a simple preference for rock over pop and party music or if there's a bigger meaning behind them thinking the white dudes i listen to inherently make better music than the roma women I listen to

Egy énekesnő legtöbb esetben saját élményeiről vall szerelmes dalaiban. A megjelenő érzelmek mesélhetnek beteljesült és beteljesületlen vágyakról, boldogágról és könnyekről is. Radics Gigi, B. Nagy Réka és Schoblocher Barbara a Valentin-nap apropóján árulták el, saját szerelmes dalaik közül melyik szívüknek a legkedvesebb.

How cable monopolists tricked conservatives into shooting themselves in the face

No matter how hard conservative culture-war cannon-fodder love big business, it will never love them back. Take network policy, where rural turkeys in Red State America keep on voting for Christmas, then profess outrage when Old Farmer Comcast gets to sharpening his ax.

For two years, the FCC has been hamstrung because MAGA Senators refuse to confirm Gigi Sohn, leaving the Commission with only four commissioners. What do the GOP have against Sohn? Well, to hear them tell of it, she’s some kind of radical Marxist who will undermine free enterprise and replace the internet with tin cans and string.

The reality is that Sohn favors policies that will specifically and substantially benefit the rural Americans whose senators who refuse to confirm her. For example, Sohn favors municipal fiber provision, which low-information conservatives have been trained to reflexively reject: “Get your government out of my internet!”

Boy, are they ever wrong. The private sector sucks at providing network connectivity, especially in rural places. The cable companies and phone companies have divided up the USA like the Pope dividing up the “New World,” setting out exclusive, non-competing territories that get worse service than anyone else in the wealthy world. Americans pay some of the highest prices for the lowest speeds of any OECD nation.

For ISPs, bad service is a feature, not a bug. When Frontier went bankrupt in 2020, we got to look at its books, which is how we discovered that the company booked the one rural customers with no alternative as “assets” because they could be charged more for slower, less reliable service:

https://www.eff.org/deeplinks/2020/04/frontiers-bankruptcy-reveals-cynical-choice-deny-profitable-fiber-millions

We also learned that Frontier had calculated that it could make an extra billion in profit by bringing fiber to three million households, but chose not to, because it would take a decade to realize those profits, and during that time, executives’ stock options would decline in value as analysts punished them for making long-term bets.

We can bring fiber to rural America, and when we do, amazing things happen. McKee, Kentucky — one of the poorest places in America — used federal grants and its New Deal era rural electrification co-op to bring fiber to every household, using a mule called Ole Bub to run it over difficult mountain passes, and the result was an economic miracle:

https://www.newyorker.com/tech/annals-of-technology/the-one-traffic-light-town-with-some-of-the-fastest-internet-in-the-us

The only Americans who consistently say they like their ISPs are people who live in the 700+ small towns that have run their own fiber, mostly in Red States:

https://muninetworks.org/communitymap

Small wonder that rural Americans prefer muni fiber to commercial ISPs’ offerings. When Trump’s FCC Chair Ajit Pai gave them billions in subsidies to improve rural connectivity, the monopolists spent it pulling new copper lines, not fiber — which would have been thousands of times faster.

Given all that, it takes a lot to convince rural Americans that municipal fiber is bad for them. Specifically, it takes disinformation. More specifically, it takes the lie that municipal fiber would result in “government interference” in users’ communications.

Boy, is this ever wrong. Private companies are free to set their own content moderation policies, and can discriminate against any viewpoint they wish. They can and do remove “lawful but awful” speech like racist diatribes, vaccine denial, election denial, and other conservative fever-dreams.

Contrast that with local governments, who are bound by the First Amendment, and prohibited from practicing “viewpoint discrimination.” This means that if a local government allows one viewpoint on a subject, they are generally required to allow all other viewpoints on that subject. This is how we get the Satanic Temple’s excellent stunts, like demanding that towns that display Christian icons on public lands also display statues of Baphomet right next to them.

https://www.npr.org/2018/08/17/639726472/satanic-temple-protests-ten-commandments-monument-with-goat-headed-statue

When your town government runs 100gb fiber into your basement or garage, it will have a much harder time blocking you from, say, running a Mastodon instance devoted to election denial or GhostGun production than your commercial ISP will. Convincing American conservatives to hate municipal broadband was a gigantic self-own:

https://pluralistic.net/2021/01/17/turner-diaries-fanfic/#1a-fiber

Even worse is what rural America has been sold instead of municipal fiber: Starlink, the My Pillow of broadband. Starlink sells itself as blazing-fast satellite broadband, but conspicuously fails to talk up the fact that every Starlink user in your neighborhood competes for the same wireless spectrum as you, so the service can only get slower and more expensive over time:

https://www.somebits.com/weblog/tech/bad/starlink-nov-2022-data-caps.html

There’s been a concerted smear campaign against Sohn, and one of the major talking points is that Sohn is anti-cop because she sits on EFF’s board, and EFF wants to place limits on police access to commercial surveillance data. Which is wild, because one of EFF’s demands is limits on geofenced reverse warrants, where cops ask Google to reveal the identity of everyone who was in a specific place at a specific time. If you’ve heard about geofenced warrants lately, it was probably in the context of conservative outrage at their use in rounding up the January 6 insurrectionists.

Now, the primary use of these is to target Black Lives Matter demonstrators and other protestors, and EFF advocates for the normal Fourth Amendment rights that everyone is guaranteed in the Constitution. Conservative pundits didn’t give a damn about geofenced warrants until the J6 affair, and now they do — but they still insist that Sohn should be disqualified from sitting on the FCC because she shares their outrage at the abuse of private surveillance data by law enforcement.

All this raises the question: why have all these Red State senators made it their mission in life to block the appointment of an FCC commissioner who would deliver so many benefits to their constituents? It’s hard to say, of course, but Luke Goldstein has a suggestion in today’s American Prospect:

https://prospect.org/politics/democratic-majority-at-the-fcc-still-blocked/

“A torrent of lobbying money from the telecom industry has flooded Washington to block Sohn’s arrival at the FCC. AT&T, Comcast, Verizon, and T-Mobile doled out over $23 million lobbying Washington this year.”

And why would these companies spend millions to block Sohn from sitting on the Commission? Because she would help the Democratic majority pass policies that make broadband cheaper and faster for America, especially rural America where costs are highest and service is worst, and this will limit the telco monopolists’ profits.

There’s a new Democratic senate majority that’ll sit in 2023, so perhaps Sohn will finally be seated and start delivering relief to all Americans, even the turkeys who can’t stop voting for Christmas.

Santorini. Beach

We were walking along the beach and catching crabs. We met our friend Mistress Gigi @gigiprinceton. We were so happy about this meeting! Gigi warned us that catching crabs is very dangerous. But we told her that everything was under control. But Gigi didn’t even want to listen to us and decided to solve the problem in a radical way. And she did the right thing. Mmmffff… We had to walk like this for some time, but then Anderii @anderii found a way to get rid of the restrictions. Then we rented fatbikes and rode along the beach for a long time until we got tired. Evening came. We remembered that we had fish that we caught from the boat. And it would be very nice to cook dinner. Right on the beach

thoughts on r/ask_AGP?

So I've been on there a lot, and a lot of the knowledge I have about AGP comes from that subreddit. I think it's the best way to understand how an AGP man thinks and what motivates him.

But I have a few criticisms of the guys I generally see on there:

they genuinely don't seem to understand why many people are against them exercising their ETII* in public. I mean, you should not involve people in your fetish. And if you have a fetish for being seen female and you demand everyone call you a woman, you are forcing them to participate in that.

They also don't seem to care about why women don't want them in their spaces. I have not once seen a discussion about how a woman may feel if a man whose fetish it is to come into a woman's changing room comes into her changing room. It kinda makes sense, because how would men know why women are afraid of men? but well, I think that they could at least try to listen to our experiences.

There is so little reflection on how misogyny and homophobia interact in creating a fetish for being a woman or having a female body. Like, why would you find it arousing and humiliating to dress femininely if you didn't view femininity as less than? Idk. But sometimes, I do see these discussions.

I actually think that there are gynephilic mtfs who are not agp. This could be - straight or bisexual males who transition because of gender dysphoria that has nothing to do with sexuality, but maybe more with trauma or self-hatred - mtfs who fit more in the hsts category, but have some marginal attraction to women. As in being bisexual, but overwhelmingly attracted to men. I would think that Gigi Gorgeous could fall under that category, for example. But r/ask_AGP seems to want to press everyone in these boxes, but I don't think that everyone really fits.

I really like that there are some people who seem to be genuinely aligned with radical feminism (if you frequent the sub, you know whom I mean lmao)

*ETII is short for "erotic target identity inversion". It describes a person who, instead of pursuing their sexual interest, wants to become their sexual interest themselves. For example, instead of wanting to sleep with a pretty woman, they want to become that pretty woman they sleep with themselves.

Having a night out with Lithuania and Hungary in Budapest.

Cheers to them, best siblings of the millennium. Hungary is only my step brother, I think. His mom married my grandpa twice, broke up and went with the Austrian Empire.

Interesting? Indeed.

Hungary told me to recommend this song:

It's quite nice. Now, I've got to drink..

Do you have any recs for Hungarian music? I like hearing music from different countries/cultures and learning about genres ^^

yes ofc! here are some artists and bands I listen to most & their genres:

hiperkarma (alt rock)

nótár mary (mulatós)

csaknekedkislány (alt rock)

carson coma (alt rock)

radics gigi (pop & rnb)

leander kills (metal) & their previous band leander rising

also here is a spotify playlist of some hungarian songs I like 🫶

[impossible-rat-babies]

2, 7, 9, 23, + 25 for eyrie? 🫶

ahh ty gigi! <3 / EDGY/MISC OC ASK MEME

2. what's something about your oc that people wouldn't expect just from looking at them?

answered here!

7. what's one way your oc has changed since you first came up with them?

eyrie hasn't changed too much personality wise--they're kind of set in stone there. it's more that i've fleshed out a lot of stuff of what they did pre-calamity into more concrete stuff. there's just a lot more of lore being filled out and stuck in places to fit in MSQ events and make them feel more alive.

oh they used to be more in line with being a bad absent parent, but as time went on they did a big 180 on that. they weren't an absent parent because of a lack of love--it was circumstances both in and out of their control that got in the way.

9. do you have a specific lyric or quote which you associate with your oc?

ohhhh skjdfhskd i have so much. eyrie's whole playlist is just full of songs with lyrics that touch on a lot of things i associate with eyrie. but uhh just a small smattering:

--cosmic love by florence and the machine touches on a lot of eyrie and hydaelyn's relationship + calamity times + endwalker

--in the beginning by fahrenhaidt is as much eyrie as it is a charon song. it's also got some eyrie and hydaelyn vibes

--small hands by radical face is so much about eyrie and their children.

--servants and kings by radical face is entirely eyrie and g'raha. their ship name comes from this song: x. candle in the dark

--the lament of eustace scrub by the oh hellos is so much of eyrie and their twin: Father, have mercy / I know that I have gone astray / 'Cause when I saw my reflection / It was a stranger beneath my face

--millions knives (vocal version) is endwalker, but also big eyrie and their twin vibes

me slapping the top of eyrie's head this bad boy can fit so much of these songs mean so much i could almost talk about all of them on their playlist skjdhfksd

23. what emotion is the hardest for your oc to process? How about express?

answered here!

25. what is your favorite thing about your oc?

cop out answer is everything but i really love their strong sense of duty that is both their greatest virtue and biggest flaw. it's their biggest defining character trait and i love all the different facets of duty

Quinzaine 55: show these films that we cannot see! 2/4

While the request for the removal of censorship from the States General of Cinema was taking its course, two new cheeky works took over the Quinzaine: L'Urlo by Tinto Brass in 1970, and But do not deliver us from evil by Joël Seria in 1971.

L'Urlo is a cry of joy and anger, a gentle madness perfectly representative of the times. A 68-year-old psychedelic film, L'Urlo explores a changing society. The landmarks are blurred, the youth no longer know what to cling to, and wander through a hostile and incomprehensible environment, just like Anita (Tina Aumont) and her lover Coso (Gigi Proietti), the main protagonists. Anita, a left-wing activist, flees her fiancé and meets a complete stranger with whom she will travel to a strange and grotesque Italy, encountering in turn a family of cannibals and fanatics exploring different facets of their sexuality. The message is clear: it is by leaving conventions that the individual explores and nourishes his inner being.

Tinto Brass, author, screenwriter and editor, here abandons narrative traditions and invites the viewer to experience his work as a sensory experience. He does not recount but denounces the tragic condition of modern man alone in the face of misery, death, and the slavery of society, thus continuing his work begun in 1964 with Who Works?. Unlike Who Works?, L'Urlo was banned by censors in Italy for no less than seven years.

Bizarre, surreal, and radically rooted in the counter-culture, The Howl nevertheless remains close to achievements in the same vein, both in terms of the script and in terms of the direction. There are similar colors, unsurprising outdoor scenes, and a political revolt that we come across everywhere.

While in 1971, But do not deliver us from evil will have the effect of a bomb among Cannes festival-goers. “One of the most unhealthy works […] because of perversion, sadism and the ferments of moral and mental destruction…” thus spoke the Control Commission of the first feature film by Joël Séria.

Raised in a home with a strict religious upbringing, and educated in a boarding school with priests for ten years, our director is struck by the idyllic image of a young girl who will inspire the appearance of his two heroines. This image is one that comes across at random from a newspaper article, that of a little nymphet with full cheeks and round curls. A model little girl who decided to play with dolls with her best friend. The doll will be his mother, the game: stoning. A New Zealand news item, this story will feed into that of But Deliver Us Not From Evil to some extent. It is from this film and this article that Peter Jackson will draw Celestial Creatures in 1994.

This feature film will be shot without the agreement of the CNC, but Joël Séria persists. This scenario is anchored in him, and he must put it on film. He performs this exercise brilliantly and reveals his talents as a poet. We find in this film a very Baudelairian melancholy, mixed with the carelessness of youth and the secrets of adolescence. Our two Lolitas, Anne and Laure, are two model little girls in appearance but, and this from the first scenes, they exude a diabolical sanctity. Just like Joël Séria, they see themselves from an early age cloistered with the nuns with, for only distraction, their vitiated imagination and their sadistic hobbies. Anne and Laure delight in evil as others delight in good; they work for Satan in soul and conscience, in opposition to everything that has been instilled in them. But Deliver Us Not From Evil is strong, powerful, and oddly sweet. The bucolic appearance of the countryside contrasts with the perversion of the deeds of our heroines and curiously reminds us of our own summers. The summer torpor, the cool nights, the bike rides give a premature sensuality to Anne and Laure who strip naked on all occasions.

The scenario, powerfully anticlerical and slightly ephebophiliesque, will have the film banned despite its presence at the Fortnight. It is only after the cut of a few seconds of a lesbian scene between nuns that the film will be accessible to the public. Joël Séria will then be one of the last feature film directors to have a film blocked. Much more than a secular work, But Deliver Us Not from Evil is a warning against repression, pressure and oppression among adolescents. Another strong subject of the early 70s.
