Yes, I agree with Donne. But he would also agree with me about the definition of tragedy. Tragedy cannot be avoided— per Aristotle, it is fated by the gods. And that thereby absolves people of responsibility. As I posted, this was not inevitable, not fated to happen. It is a result of human actions

The shooting in DC was terrible but not tragic. There was nothing inevitable about this. If the National Guard had not been deployed upon the whim of weak ego maniacs, those Guards would not have come into harms way.
And every voter who put these men into office have blood on their hands.

Garland was a double agent.

AI is a threat because of who will use it—producers. Already many people cannot tell the difference between AI generated music and human-made music. Films will shortly follow suit.
The only up side is maybe, MAYBE, this will drive more people to live experiences.
Live theatre makes a comeback!

And somewhere at dozens of middle schools, boys are taunting girls using that language.
And I hope the girls punch them in their little piggy snouts.

“We are not going to end the death penalty overnight. That has never been the goal, and that wouldn’t be realistic.”
I rest my case

Forgive my skepticism. The real test of pro-life is how women and children are treated subsequent to birth.
If, along with the anti-death penalty stance, there’s a commitment to free healthcare for children and a year’s maternity leave, I might not see this as mere posturing.

If shame and extortion seem to work on these traitors, perhaps we can try the same
1. Flood their inboxes and voicemail with fury
2. Threaten to primary them
3. Promise to donate to their state food banks if they change their minds

Trump seems focused on supply, not demand. I guess he doesn’t want to bother Eric.

He won’t dump Ushe. More likely she’ll meet a tragic and mysterious end.

It’s all of a piece—ICE, ACA, SNAP, nuclear testing. They want to provoke riots, use the Insurrection Act to quell dissent, they want to push to “end of days.” Thiel & Co. think they’re Thanos—they want to eliminate half of humanity, live in bunkers, served by robots & AI.

The re-framing of this event by the GOP may well lead to false flag operations to incite violence by ICE, amplified by the complicit media (see Bari Weiss, eg), and funded by the Tech Broligarchy.

Every accusation by Johnson et al, Trump, sycophantic ogres, and right wing media is a confession.
