^^^ Aegon II Targaryen had some difficulty coping with that word in S02E01. 🙂

While that particular bit could just be some comic relief or a device used for demonstrating Aegon's lack of learning, it may be a reference to something in a future episode. A "Chekhov's gun" thingy comes to mind.

Why do I imagine this is animated and voiced the same way as Witches On Tinder?

He had been a spendthrift, but she loved him perhaps all the more for that; she loved him for his recklessness and never blamed him . . .

The Spicy Hour | November 25, 2020 | Loop Sessions

… Is this really my first Rona-era piece?? Say it ain’t so! But what a strong piece to break the ice with!

Loop Sessions started in Montreal in 2016 as a monthly event where people gathered to participate in a sort of beatmaking challenge/cypher: you’d show up, have 5 minutes to record your sample from the record of the day, then use the 2-3 hours left to make your beat. It was a great way for me to expand my sampling horizons, network with the scene, and catch up with my producer friends. I was even able to catch one since moving back to DC when I was in the 514 visiting for my birthday 😁

Then of course, we all know what happened in March of 2020, and Loop Sessions was not spared from the fate of confinement. They say capitalism breeds innovation, but I think nothing inspires more creativity than the will to maintain community. Loop Sessions Montreal moved to Instagram Live and I don’t think anyone has been left unchanged. Not only did we get access to the entire record and have more hours to produce, there’s just something so uniquely wholesome about being in what is essentially a giant group chat (by way of the IG Live comment section), and creating some of the most bizarrely endearing inside jokes. My personal favorite as of recent, would have to be #SpicyMark, the new moniker bestowed upon the livestream’s host DJ Magnanimous. I didn’t believe he was an Aries until some of that spark broke through while the chat was getting sidetracked by the then-pending Busta Rhymes album. The #SpicyHour lore only got deeper when producer Viv Imara chimed in with her own hot take, post-release. You can find it on their IGTV, and since tonight is their big 5-0, maybe someone will fund our pilot!

Only time will tell. 👀🌶️

Pissing of the man who rides the biggest dragon in the realm was not the best idea in hindsight.

day 169

this is it, the dynamic

[ivan-fyodorovich-k]

Today, the country indeed looks alien. The America many of us believed we knew now appears stranger in retrospect: The anger and resentment we may have thought was pitched at a simmer turned out to be at a rollicking boil. And one of liberals’ most cherished shibboleths from 2016—that Trumpism is a movement for aggrieved white men—unraveled in the face of a realignment that saw the GOP appear to give birth to a multiracial working-class movement. A second Trump presidency is the result of this misjudgment.

Democrats are a coalition party of the center-left

The Left has traditionally been associated with egalitarianism, which is by necessity concerned with the masses, the common people, the working class, but also the dispossessed, the marginalized, the disadvantaged

The modern Democratic party traces its roots most directly to the New Deal coalition of the 1930s, which it understands to have been a robust working-class and labor-rights movement

They also see themselves in the 1960s cultural revolutions and their repudiation of hierarchy, itself generally seen as the position of the common person, the masses, but also the dispossessed

The party takes its name from Andrew Jackson, great champion of the Common Man, at least as understood at his time, but it goes back to Thomas Jefferson, famous for declaring that "all men are created equal," and now excoriated for failing to live out that egalitarian principle

The Democrats are a party for the people, understood as capaciously as possible, the party that repudiates narrow nationalism and jingoism, in favor of spreading the benefits of American society widely, in opposition to favoring the privileged few

Why am I reminding you of all these things that you already know?

Because they believe so deeply that they are right in every way that matters, or at least incomparably superior to their opponents, they cannot begin to imagine repudiation from the very people in whose interests they thought they were acting, let alone in favor of the very person they swore was an existential, even murderous threat to those very same people

I think to appreciate the sensation, you might imagine a thief broke into your home, and then your family kicked you out in favor of the thief; someone broke in to ravish your spouse and they called the police on you; a sex offender told your children explicitly what he wanted to do them, and your children fought you to get out of your arms so they could crawl into the van knowing full well they'd never see you again

The shock is so existentially horrifying, such a betrayal of reality itself, that it would require rethinking all your most basic assumptions about the political order, human beings, and worst of all, yourself. Why would they do such a manifestly insane thing? Is there something I don't know? What did I miss? What did I do wrong? What do I do now?

Democrats cannot meaningfully internalize that they are the party of the privileged and the elite, by their own philosophy they are themselves the enemy, they write a blank check for the most lurid excesses of anti-colonial violence and call it "exhilarating" without dealing with the fact that given their assumptions, in this society, they are the power and not the resistance

But it's hard to ask yourself these kinds of questions and most people don't have the nerve for it, and so what we see instead, in another little paradox of human nature, is they're going to blame not the ravisher but the spouse

TL;DR, self-examination is hard, so now Democrats hate Latinos
