shiv and tom succession.. welcome back cathy earnshaw and edgar linton

on March 25th 1978, British music magazine Sounds released an issue that highlighted the anti-National Front (England's fascist party that was gaining a scary amount of influence back in the late 70s) stances of several musicians who were popular with teenagers and young adults at the time. this was part of an organized effort to steer young people away from the increasingly popular far right

the infamous cover shows several musicians with a deported stamp over their faces as a reference to the National Front's desire to deport any 'non-English' people back to their 'homelands'. as you can see, most of the rockers on the cover are black or otherwise non-white but JJ Burnel (who's parents are French), Paul Simonon (who's father is Belgian), and Ari Up (who's a German immigrant) are also on the list. it's a clear warning to white readers that the National Front is everyone's problem

'The fundamental difference is that the Left are attacking a system, whereas the National Front are attacking people.' - Tom Robinson 'It's rubbish to say you can't do anything. Punk proved that. You have the power, so take it [...] You can't stand back apathetically.' - Johnny Rotten 'If they come with fire, we'll have hotter fire. If they come with water, we'll drown them [...] but the real threat comes from Margret Thatcher and the Tory party.' - Linton Kwesi Johnson

on April 30th 1978, Rock Against Racism organized a large festival to promote racial solidarity. 100,000 people joined the event and several musicians interviewed for this Sounds issue played concerts

¿De qué lado estás?

Toda historia representa al romanticismo a su manera. Mientras unos emplean la clásica historia del triángulo amoroso, otros se empeñan en mostrar el amor como la libertad del alma y el dolor del corazón, como lo hizo Wickham que mintió sobre el padre de Darcy para ganarse el aprecio de Elizabeth. Jay Gatsby invitó a cenar y a beber a Daisy Buchanan, ofreciéndole una vida que su marido Tom no podía brindarle. Catherine Earnshaw prefirió un amor mas seguro con Linton que una vida de pasión destructiva con Heathcliff. Romeo y Julieta murieron por el temar a ser separados a causa del gran amor que sentían. Incluso un hombre lobo intentó ganarse el corazón de la ingeniosa Bella Swan, pese al vampiro centenario y conquistador. Te has preguntado si amas de verdad, te has hecho la simple pregunta de que lado de la historia estas?

Omg, wait, youre reading wuthering heights ♡♡♡♡ because i know you are (lamentably, regrettably, woefully, etc etc) aware of the current wuthering heights casting (😭😭😭😭😭 get me oUT of this fresh hell), if you could cast anyone for the roles, who? could be anyone at any time in history. who is the violent vibecheck, who are we consigning to the moors, who are we leaving to be forevermore haunted by the worst of themselves and others

okay, i am really bad at fancasts, but i'm gonna try my best!!

for heathcliffe i will have to side with a popular fancast in the person of dev patel. i just think he could pull off the dejected little meow meow into brooding insufferable house master soooo well. no thoughts just long coats open frilly shirts (tits out) walking down the cliffside in dogshit weather

cathy is trickier. i actually think kaya scodelario was a pretty solid choice for her! even though she has the slightest hint of iphone face syndrome, she does look like a bratty, impertinent only child who only wants to gallop off into the mist and thinks the world should bend to her every whim. but it has been 13 years since that adaptation, and if we want to find someone closer to catherine's age for a movie now, then maybeeee hannah dodd? the new girl who plays francesca bridgerton? i feel like the main characteristics when i imagine catherine earnshaw are that she looks beautiful, mean, and sickly lolll. although hannah is a natural blonde and her face gives me more 40s-50s period drama vibes than gothic lit, her sarah chapman in enola holmes is the vibe i would go for

as for the other characters i think edgar linton should be played by that dude who did president snow in the prequel. tom blyth? someone who's diametrically opposed to dev patel obviously. and nelly should be played by an actress who feels very Mom, even though warmth is pretty much the last thing any of these people should emit to fit into this universe. i have no ideas here but yeah mom vibes are important - she's the narrator, the person who invites the reader into the story, so she's quite literally birthing these characters.

I’m rereading Wuthering Heights and am trying to watch all the adaptations. My favourites so far are the 2009 miniseries, the 1978 miniseries and the 1970 movie with Timothy Dalton (I never really liked the one with Ralph Fiennes)! Oh Cathy, why did you betray your own heart?💔 Anyway this is roughly how I imagined the characters:

Bob Morley - Heathcliff

Daisy Edgar-Jones - Cathy Earnshaw

Jamie Campbell Bower - Edgar Linton

Alice Eve - Isabella Linton

Sam Reilly - Hindley Earnshaw

Kit Harrington - Hareton Earnshaw

Rose McIver - Catherine Linton Heathcliff

Tom Felton - Linton Heathcliff

Claire Foy - Nelly Dean

Side note: I also at times pictured Ben Whishaw as Heathcliff and I also pictured Emma Watson, Carey Mulligan and Anya Taylor-Joy as Cathy (II)

As “War Criminal, Complicit in Genocide in Gaza, Demented, Hypocrite, Hegemonic and The Scrotums Licker of the Zionist 🐖 🐷 🐖 🐗 Joe Biden” Cheers TikTok Ban, White Elephant House Embraces TikTok Influencers

The White House Brushes Off Accusations of Hypocrisy, Courting TikTok While Seeking To Ban It.

As Congress And the National Security State continue their quest to ban the TikTok social media platform in the United States, President Joe Biden has been courting TikTok influencers to help him shore up youth support for his reelection. While the administration has been publicly casting TikTok as a grave threat to American security, the White House has quietly hosted a number of influencers to pitch them on pro-Biden content.

“Don’t jump, I need you!” Biden joked to a group of TikTok influencers as he walked by the group standing on the White House balcony on his way to deliver his State of the Union speech earlier this year.

In recent months, some of the biggest TikTok users with accounts boasting millions of followers have visited the White House, visitor logs reveal. Since September alone, some of the most prominent examples include:

Jason Linton, a dad who posts wholesome content about his family and whose TikTok account @dadlifejason has 13.8 million followers.

Michael Junchaya, (who goes by “Mikey Angelo” on the handle @mrgrandeofficial, 3.5 million followers), a young entertainer who specializes in rap recap videos.

Mona Swain (@monaswain, 1.9 million followers), theater enthusiast.

Alexandra Doten, space communicator, who previously worked for NASA (going by “Astro Alexandra” @astro_alexandra, 2.3 million followers).

Andrew Townsend (going by “Papi Dre” @andrewtowns, 3.1 million followers).

Alex Pearlman (@pearlmania, 2.6 million followers), comedian.

Josh Helfgott (@joshhelfgott, 5.5 million followers), LGBTQ+ advocate.

Perhaps the biggest TikToker hobnobbing at the White House was Oneya Johnson, a viral sensation famous for his angry reaction videos (@angryreactions) boasting 27 million followers. He visited the White House on September 27. (Johnson has since deleted his account after being arrested for domestic violence.)

Each of these TikTokkers’ meetings was coordinated by White House deputy director of partnerships, Morgan MacNaughton, who herself has a background with the company. She was hired away last year from Palette, a social media talent management company that specializes in TikTok personalities. While there, MacNaughton helped found the political group “TikTok for Biden” (since renamed “Gen-Z for Change”). Many of the TikTok users who visited the White House are themselves represented by Palette.

In 2022, Palette received a $200,000 payment from the Democratic National Committee for paid media, Federal Election Commission data shows. According to the Washington Post’s Taylor Lorenz, Palette was paid a retainer from the DNC to cover expenses for eight TikTok creators to travel to Washington in hopes of wooing them in the run-up to the midterm elections, resulting in an Oval Office meeting with Biden.

Anita Dunn, senior adviser to the president, told The Intercept that MacNaughton “helped to get POTUS’s message out to more audiences.”

“The reason Morgan’s position exists is because we knew the work she was capable of: discovering, ideating and leading creator talent,” Christian Tom, director of the White House’s Office of Digital Strategy, told The Intercept. “In just under a year at the White House, she has driven on many digital creator projects that have been vital to our digital strategy.”

With Biden’s reelection campaign in full swing, it would hardly be surprising that they’re meeting with influencers whose videos reach millions of Americans — were it not for the administration’s national security rhetoric about the app’s purported threat. Earlier this month, Biden raised his concerns about TikTok during a call with Chinese President Xi Jinping, their first contact since November. Biden administration officials have raised hypothetical concerns about the Chinese ownership of TikTok’s parent company, ByteDance.

Public opinion on banning TikTok is sharply divided, with support tending to come from older Americans but marked opposition coming from youth. Biden’s support for the legislation has irked even some of his most ardent supporters.

“There are clearly some First Amendment concerns here and to do this in an election year seems wrong to me,” Harry Sisson told The Intercept. Sisson describes himself as a “pro-Biden content creator” and frequently uses his TikTok account (@harryjsisson, 800k followers) to advocate for the president and blast his opponents. (Sisson has himself visited the White House and is represented by Palette.)

“There are over 170 million Americans on TikTok, many of which get their news from the app, and to take that away and give Trump a talking point only hurts the Democratic Party,” Sisson said.

While White House visitor logs are only available through this past September, it is clear that TikTok influencers have continued to frequent the White House. When Biden gave his State of the Union speech in March, Sisson was one of dozens of social media influencers, including TikTok stars, invited to the White House where he spoke to his 800,000 followers during Biden’s address. The influencers sat on the White House balcony and watched as Biden headed over to the Capitol to deliver his speech.

Though the Biden administration has directly consulted on the creation of the legislation that could ban TikTok, the Biden campaign has embraced the app, creating an official account in February. The decision has drawn criticism from even some of Biden’s most stalwart allies.

“I’m a little worried about a mixed message,” Sen. Mark Warner, D-Va., chair of the Senate Intelligence Committee, said of the decision.

The White House, for its part, has brushed off accusations of hypocrisy, pointing to the fact that the federal ban on the use of TikTok on government devices is still in place and applies to White House officials, referring questions to the Biden campaign.

The campaign has said that it will “continue meeting voters where they are.”

Unless, of course, the app is banned.

Why does Secretary-General António Guterres said "without strong global institutions “multipolarity could be a factor for escalating geostrategic tensions, with tragic consequences.”?

COMMENTARY

What he is saying is that the toxic political polarization being generated by all things January 6 majority is an incubator for the global Nazification associated with all things William F. Buckley and is a strategically fraught circumstance, with China getting silly about Taiwan and Russia and Ukraine engaged in a end game that needs to be shut down by a United Nations enforced cease fire sponsored by Biden.

Let me illustrate with an identical situation, internationally, when Newt Gingrich and Tom Delay blunted Clinton’s ability to prevent a nasty little genocide from getting any traction in Bosnia. Just like the January 6 insurgency, Newty and Delay were trying to overturn and election because Clinton’s economics were fixing the mess the Reagan Bush administrations left for Clinton to clean up,,

Gingrich was Speaker of the House because of the political strategy of GOPAC which is based on the Trotsky-inspire political strategy of the anti-war movement that led to the Chicago Police riots in 1968 He was doing the same thing with the native white supremacist agenda anywhere the Presbyterian Church is and put together his Contract with American victory with the people who stormed the Capitol on January 6 and emerged during the Obama administration as the Tea Party wing of the Jim Crow Bigotry of Woodrow Wilson and Lost Cause fans of “A Nation is Born. And while Newty and DeLay were preferring charges for consensual sex in the Oval Office, the Christians in Bosnia began killing their Muslim neighbors for being Muslims.

And the “Diplomat-speak for Dummies” version of Guterres's statement is that the January 6 majority is doing the same thing as part of Trump’s treason and it is far more dangerous now than the avoidable genocide in Bosnia.

I don’t know what effect Tommy Tuberville’s obstruction of national security will have, downstream, but it will not be something good for America. When Gingrich and Delay were fucking with Linton’s ability to direct his full attention on bin Ladin, to say nothing of the avoidable genocide of Bosna. Tommy Tuberville represents the people who want to dismantle the administrative state until it fails like American in Atlas Shrugged so they can take over and buy America for salvage prices.

What Jack Smith is engaged in is defense of the Republic from enemies, foreign and domestic. The January 6 majority are domestic enemies of the US Constitution and are the people causing the problems that are increasing the avoidable and unnecessary risks to American national security, if not global de-Nazification and the organic society of Herbert Spencer and Hegel.

The 14th Amendment has been the obvious solution since January 6. Super Tuesday will not interfere with Trump’s court schedule in the least. He will be able to consolidate all his fund raising around his legal defense.

Here’s the thing: Clinton is the only President since Nixon and Eisenhower who understood Clausewitz. He should have shared a Nobel Peace Prize with the French Foreign Legion UN blue Helmets who put on a demonstration of tactical Peace Keeping the pun out the nasty little genocide that Newty and DeLay encouraged to happen with an empty impeachment. The only Bike Pence moment Lindsey Graham ever performed in his contribution to the January 6 majority was voting against impeachment in committee, where it should have died.

If you are woke, just remember that Dan Sickles was the Tommy Tuberville of Gettysburg. The leadership cadre of the January 6 majority has been running America on the basis of Tommy Tuberville’s command of military issues since the Hollywood John Birch Society came to Washington with Reagan and began inflicting their Ivy League Socialism as the law of the land ever since. The collapse of commercial airline service last Christmas is just one example of the damage being done below decs.

Ele recuou, consternado. Tomei Hareton nos braços e fui para a cozinha com ele, deixando a porta entre os dois cômodos aberta, pois estava curiosa para ver como resolveriam aquela desavença.

O visitante insultado foi até o lugar onde havia deixado o chapéu, pálido e com o lábio trêmulo.

"Isso!", pensei comigo mesma. "Aceite a advertência e vá embora! Que sorte a sua ter tido a oportunidade de ver um lampejo de como ela realmente é."

- Aonde é que você vai? - indagou Catherine, avançando na direção da porta.

Ele desviou e tentou passar.

— Não pode ir embora! - exclamou ela, com energia.

— Posso sim, e vou! - respondeu ele, num tom de voz triste.

— Não - insistiu Cathy, agarrando a maçaneta -, ainda não, Edgar Linton.

Sente-se. Não vai me deixar num estado destes. Eu teria uma noite terrível e não quero ter uma noite terrível por sua causa!

- Como posso ficar depois que me agrediu? - indagou Linton.

Catherine não respondeu.

- Você me deixou com medo e com vergonha de você - prosseguiu ele.- Não volto mais aqui!

Os olhos da mocinha começaram a brilhar e suas pálpebras a tremer.

— E mentiu deliberadamente! - acrescentou ele.

- Não! - exclamou ela, recobrando a fala. - Não fiz nada deliberadamente. Bem, vá, se quiser.. vá embora logo! Deixe-me aqui, chorando... e vou chorar até adoecer!

Catherine se deixou cair de joelhos junto a uma cadeira e começou a chorar com vontade. Edgar se manteve firme em sua decisão até chegar ao pátio; ali, hesitou. Resolvi encorajá-lo.

- Ela é terrivelmente caprichosa, senhor - disse-lhe. - Pior do que uma criança mimada. É melhor ir para casa, do contrário, é capaz de adoecer só para nos deixar preocupados.

O pobre rapaz olhou de soslaio pela janela... tinha tanta força de vontade para ir embora quanto um gato teria para deixar um rato semimorto ou um passarinho comido pela metade.

"Ah", pensei, "não há salvação possível para ele, está condenado, e se atira ao seu destino!"

E assim foi. Virou-se abruptamente, correu de volta para a casa e fechou a porta atrás de si. Quando entrei um pouco depois para avisá-los de que Earnshaw voltara completamente bêbado, disposto a brigar com todo mundo (seu estado de espírito habitual nessas condições), vi que a altercação só resultara numa intimidade maior. Rompera a casca da timidez infantil e lhes permitira deixar de lado o disfarce da amizade, confessando-se enamorados.
