Pirouetting dogs, embracing judges, disappearing girls— Blood Meridian's tarot scene and ending
How word choices and symbolism in Blood Meridian's tarot scene directly reference and connect to the book’s concluding pages

Can't stop thinking about Blood Meridian. First non-White-Sox-related writing in a while. It does heavily discuss the end of Blood Meridian though, so, you know, spoilers.

Gonna start telling people (accurately) that my job is to expunge things from the memory of man. No word from the judge on sealing from the memory of man, sadly.

That Democrats see mass-murdering fascists dismantling the country as nothing more than "colleagues they dislike" is why we've been in a non-stop plummet. Incredible this is still debatable, by people who ostensibly oppose fascism, ten years into this?!?
My hot take is that Lindsey Graham did many contemptible things but if you’re furious that his Senate Democratic colleagues are posting nice things about him today you need to put down your phone, get some fresh air, and remember a time when a colleague you disliked departed this mortal coil.

the fact that our elites cannot, ever, just call a thing what it is will be the death of this society. he was a vicious, antisocial scumbag. his crimes are literally legion. if the opposition can't vocalize that what good are they? and werent they trying to jail this loser? grow a pair
What I’ll remember most about Senator Graham was his sense of humor and how he deployed it to move his policy positions forward. Though we did not often agree, Senator Graham was never disagreeable.

Not all cops are bad! They all to a T just join an evil organization which they then help carry out its evil duties in exchange for money and power. But they're not evil themselves!!!!

Streetlight Manifesto is my favorite band because each song is five minutes long and has a minimum two places where it "should" have ended and they just keep powering through. And, cut. Aaand cut. Cut.
To be fair, sometimes this does result in the greatest song of all time, but I always lol

Amazing how every Israeli I see on social (when not being openly genocidal) is posting stuff like, Body Movement Brave Yoga Resistance to Get Through This War, and every Palestinian is posting stuff like, Israel Has Killed My Entire Family

The killing of Alex Pretti is a heartbreaking tragedy. It should also be a wake-up call to every American, regardless of party, that many of our core values as a nation are increasingly under assault.

Yeah this is EXACTLY what they did after killing Silverio Villegas González here.
The ICE agents who killed him walked around the scene, picked up dropped gear and a magazine, holstered their weapons, and then one drove their car away.
Cops helped them out and never even asked their names.

Minnesota Gov. Tim Walz: "I don't know. You kill a man and then you just leave? You're law enforcement and you just leave? Is there a single case in American history where you just, like, walk away and say, 'I guess that just happened and we're not going to clean up our mess'?"

They’re murdering legal observers in broad daylight. Please forget about resisting “the right way” or “working within the system”—this is the system! Every day they’re learning what they can get away with, and anything that doesn’t teach them they can’t kill us as they please is fucking useless.

“If you’re proud of your cause you shouldn’t cover your face at a protest” is right up there with “innocent people don’t need lawyers” and “when they go low, we go high” when it comes to making life easier for fascists

In most jurisdictions, lethal self-defense is justified if the user of force reasonably believes that grievous bodily harm is imminent to themselves OR a third party. ICE agents are always imminently about to grievously harm someone at any moment. If you see them, it is imminent.

Also the logic of Zionists.
The reactionary centrist logic is simple: if the left does something bad it’s the left’s fault, and if the right does something bad, it’s also the left’s fault for making them do it. It’s a simple formula and once you see it every one of their arguments is the same

Yesterday, white nationalist paramilitary forces attacked another Chicago neighborhood with chemical weapons. Families and at least one infant were gassed. This morning, they are kidnapping more immigrants both here and in other metros (D.C., L.A. still being terrorized).
