Content Warning: what a fuckin’ blowhard 🙄😀

I’m not trying to claim the Prophet, blessed be his name and all that, but I often feel my mission is at least parallel, he had his visions and developed his philosophy and then sent letters to the world leaders, asking if they would “submit to God,” and I don’t know who to send the letters to, and I’d ask something like if they would begin the journey back to reality, and that seems the same.
.
Like we both see a world gone wrong, like we think we know how and why.
.
It’s complicated, I think religion is Allism, but it does seem to provide a lot of jobs for . . . aspies, this is not a conversation where I’ll use my self-slur, aspie is enough, again, I may make a general statement that prophets in general are #ND , but I don’t presume to know anything about Islam or its main guy.
.
It’s just I would like to challenge to world to change its ways and submit also, to reality, perhaps it is the submission I liked. Of course, submission to reality and submission to God can be opposite things, but then there’s the modern sense that reality adds up to God, so you can read his challenge that way, as long as you stop after the letters. Of course after that, things don’t go the way I would have hoped, and I’m certain war is Allism, and also that it has fewer jobs for the #ND .
.
These are the proportions in historical times, one person has a big idea and a bunch of them go to war about it, happens to all of ‘em. But despite inhabiting very different spheres of thought, I think the submission is the insight, the critical bit, FGS, find your place and accept it, stop fighting the world, you’re winning the fight and hurting everybody.

as #MAGA #GOP #Republican criminals look to reinstate the federal death penalty ―with the nazi barbarism of firing squads, electrocution and gas asphyxiation―, #PopeLeoXIV took to the cameras to commemorate the #abolition of the #deathPenalty in his place of birth, Illinois.
Pope Southside wasted no time calling out right to lifers who cheerlead the death penalty: it goes against Christ’s teachings and RCC doctrine. it’s inadmissible, therefore, a sin.

Pope Leo is absolutely to the left of Pope Francisco on #geopolitics.

Ken Paxton’s hypocrisy is well-documented. He's one of the loudest proponents for requiring schools to display the Ten Commandments in classrooms.

Å blande religion med politikk er det dummeste man kan gjøre.
Det er ikke umoralskt å boikotte Israel, det er umoralskt å ikke bry seg om hva det er Israel begår av feiltrinn.

We humans have the ability to build beautiful things or ugly ones, to seek out peace or war, to do good or evil, to reach for the sublime or wallow in the slop.
And it's an individual decision, one we make multiple times, each and every day.

Rated Bilal: A New Breed of Hero 4/10
This was really disappointing. There are definitely moments of brilliant direction, stunning character design, and impressive uses of the score and soundtrack, but the script needed a lot more polish. For the entire film there wasn't a single character that I felt I could latch on to and it made this viewing a slog. (I actually fell asleep during the first 40 minutes on my first viewing.) This movie is easily half an hour longer than it needs to be and I still don't have a clear understanding of why--not everything that was included needed to be and the film's plot turns feel as though they are pilfering pretty unabashedly from THE PRINCE OF EGYPT. I really like films in this genre, especially when animated, so this, while not awful, was definitely a letdown.
When the Rapture came, we sinners learned that the beach-volleyball club had been full of Godly people.

You are a young woman whose animal familiar has left her, so she goes searching for him, as well as the doorway to another world which is also the target of religious authorities; you are trying to figure out what makes life worth living, but that is elusive.

A Short Stay In Hell. Steven Peck.
You just died, and the hell assigned to you - it’s temporary the demon explains- is an endless library that contains all the books that ever could be written, and all you have to do is find the book that describes your life; you initially muse that things could be worse, but are soon forced to reconsider that.

Rated The Reluctant Fundamentalist 6/10
A moving film about allegiances at the social, national, and personal levels, The Reluctant Fundamentalist has high aims but fails to fully render its many messages. Because of this, a beautiful film about the origins of culture clash and the role patriotism and fear play in producing these inevitabilities, comes across heavy-handed. This is a bit of a disappointment as the casting is spot-on--Riz Ahmed, Kiefer Sutherland, and Om Puri give some incredibly magnetic performances--and there is no dearth of technical skill.Typically I'm a fan of overambitious films, but this manages to somehow telegraph a variety of positions while never quite putting its foot down. It is perhaps too comfortable with ambiguity, certainly more comfortable than its audience is. At the film's opening this makes for compelling and interesting material, but the fact that few concrete answers or explanations are offered on the ontologies of its characters' motivations ensures that the congealed product is unrewarding. It comes as no surprise, then, that many of the supporting cast exist solely to add context and are themselves underdeveloped.All said, the film IS vibrant. When not dominated by the rich sounds and visuals of Pakistan, ethereal vocalizations and sheer and embroidered textiles, the film is arguably at its most uninteresting. One of the things I loved, in particular, was how the soundtrack was used to inspire feeling or to accompany the feelings being created and shown on screen. The sound profile of the film is itself incredibly diverse and enjoyable; the soundtrack contains oral chants, hip hop beats, and melodious instrumentations, all of which are creatively and effectively woven into the narrative.Through this film we come to realize that militancy is rarely a mask of our making or choosing, that sometimes it is chosen for us. This is the kind of film that brings cerebrality and moral philosophy to characters we often hear about but never see. While a smaller scale might have provided for more powerful meditations on the social constraints of identity, this remains a film to be seen because it manages to be both race and class-conscious, all while subverting the popular characterizations of peoples and groups in the middle east. It doesn't do it well, but it does it. And that is saying something.
Today was unboxing day for my book on Venantius Fortunatus! I'm incredibly happy, and frankly relieved, finally to see it in print. Cream Cheese here played my desk gargoyle through much of the writing.
