This place is a message and part of a system of messages: pay attention to it!

Sending this message was important to us. We considered ourselves to be a powerful culture.

This place is not a place of honor.

No highly esteemed deed is commemorated here.

Nothing of value is here.

What is here was dangerous and repulsive to us. This message is a warning about danger.

The danger is in a particular location. It increases towards a center. The center of danger is here of a particular size and shape, and below us.

The danger is still present in your time, as it was in ours.

The danger is to the body, and it can kill.

The form of the danger is an emanation of energy.

The danger is unleashed only if you substantially disturb this place physically. This place is best shunned and left uninhabited.

Sadly this message will be about as useful in keeping the Twitter people out as it would be protecting future generations who don’t remember us from nuclear radiation.

So I finally got a copy of Our Flag Means Death! It was time - unfortunately, while there’s a real strident crowd on Tumblr shrieking that even if we live in regions that physically cannot get it nonetheless we Must Not Pirate The Pirates or HBO won’t renew, those same people are putting entire fucking gifsets of every single plot twist and emotional beat onto this site without tagging for spoilers or even the show, so I either watch it now or never bother because I’ve functionally seen it already.

HOWEVER what’s fun about that is that Steff knows literally nothing about this show, because he is not active on Tumblr. So we’ve been watching it with me going ‘Oh look, that’s how that massive spoiler that I already knew fits in’ and Steff going 'What the fuck is this show about?’

But anyway, we watched two episodes yesterday. Before watching another two today, we were out on our walk and Steff said something like “I’m seeing Taika Waititi in this, and I just can’t imagine him as the rock guy in Thor.”

… and I realised that he had never seen Taika Waititi before, and thought Rhys Darby was him.

Which meant, not to put to fine a point on it, that I got to be present for the moment my extremely bisexual husband first laid eyes on the glory that is Taika Waititi dressed as Blackbeard.

…

Anyway, I have never heard such a reverent, involuntary and strained “Oh my god” in my entire life

I feel like I might need to inform you that possibly the reason your husband thought that Rhys was Taika is because Taika based the voice he did for said character in Thor ON DOING AN IMPRESSION OF RHYS.

Because they are longstanding best friends.

So of course he did.

I mean that is HILARIOUS and I will be informing him of that forthwith, but in fact when I asked it seems the main reason is that he knew Taika Waititi is a director, and therefore expected him to be, and I quote, “a little dweeby man”. But you’re absolutely right that this probably explains why he was so certain it was Rhys Darby in particular.

“Why does Batman need to be a billionaire?”

“He has to fund the Justice League. They often have a space program.”

“But couldn’t he do more good if he just invested-”

“The Earth is routinely invaded by aliens, gods, and the forces of an extraterrestrial god of tyranny.”

He has, like, three charitable organizations he funds, named after his father, his mother, and Alfred.

Between both Bruce and Batman’s contributions, Gotham should be a better city than it is, and the only reason it isn’t is DC Editorial Mandate that basically says Gotham has to get worse and worse and worse or there’s no Batman stories they can tell (and, obviously, they have no other characters besides Batman).

There’s a reason Batman thinks the city is literally cursed.

I want to see Bruce Wayne go off

“Oh, oh, just charity my way out of dealing with the Penguin, a living, breathing 19th century Marxist’s cartoon of the bourgeoisie? Just fund anti-Clayface measures? Crack down on corporations who put out shapeshifting cosmetics? What socio-economic pressures turn botonists into actual fucking dryads?! What inspires anti-animal terrorism? THAT’S NOT EVEN A REAL KIND OF ECO-FASCISM!”

For the record, Gotham is canonically curse, because it sits on some sort of evil swamp. I think.

There are like, half a dozen curses. The Lazarus Pits are leaching into the water, Slaughter Swamp is an unconnected body of water a few miles outside of the city that also ressurects people (see Solomon Grundy), the Bat-demon Barbatos and his followers (the Court of Owls) have been fucking up the city psychically and financially, the malevolent influence of the warlock Doctor Gotham’s tomb in the center of the city, the madness hypersigil of Amadeus Arkham (in Arkham Asylum: A Serious House on Serious Earth), there were several outposts of subterraneans and aliens beneath the city during the Silver Age, constant chemical warfare that makes it the equivalent of a WWI trench managed by MK-ULTRA, it’s in New Jersey, and I think God just hates it

tired: Batman could do more good by running charities than by fighting criminals

wired: Batman could save literally every other city on the planet simultaneously with the amount of effort and resources he’s pumped into Gotham, which is a lost cause, but this is his city damnit.

“In the nineties, ExxonMobil paid the New York Times to sow doubt about the human causes a full generation after its own sciences proved anthropogenic warming in the late seventies. In the aughts, BP instructed consumers to fret about a new marketing gimmick called a carbon footprint. In the West, politicians brag of the stock market’s growth and energy independence in the same breath as emissions targets. Senator Elizabeth Warren campaigns on greening the military. Bill Gates brags of purchasing sustainable jet fuel for his private gallivanting. Pundits speak of ‘fighting’ climate change without specifics.”
