Hillary's words were awful too, make no mistake about that.


Felix of the Trap brought this up in an article, that poo poo like "Make America Sick Again" shows that we have trouble even approaching Trump because we're too insistent on using his own language to fight him, which shows just how much power we've given him.

Ceding the terms of the debate to the right has been a a liberal, and even a broader left of center, tentpole for half a century. Take for example everyone who is fretting that The Great Wall is going to be too expensive. Even if you win that fight, you've lost by establishing that the government can't afford big money infrastructure and job creation programs. Despite its ugly xenophobic and racist origins, not "building the wall" is precisely what the wealthy right wants - porous immigration rules to ensure a supply of impoverished, legally unprotected workers to drive down wages, and a hegemonic acceptance of austerity policy.

Slice of life: my cat hasn't been eating anything for a couple weeks, and after taking her to the vet last week I thought we might have found the issue, but she's still not eating outside of the forced-feeding I have to do. She's back at the vet today, and they're running even more tests to find out specifically what's wrong with her.

MORAL:
To the vector belong the spoils.
So here's my personal ranking of Blair Witch movies for no reason whatsoever:

I like the first film, The Burkittsville 7, and Wingard's reboot all about the same.

Shadow of the Blair Witch is next simply because I love the extra-diegetic context it creates for Book of Shadows. It's also amusing to me that a guy who's only connection to the franchise was that he made Burkittsville 7 for the Showtime T.V. premiere is actually technically the author of the first direct sequel to the original film, and that writer/director Ben Rock basically assumes the Joe Berlinger role, but Joe Berlinger is playing a hack who they got to make a Scream rip-off.

Following that, Curse of the Blair Witch and Sticks & Stones: An Exploration of the Blair Witch Legend overlap quite considerably, so it's probably best to treat them as a single film.

And last but certainly not least - at least not in the trashiest sense - is Book of Shadows, a theatrically released film which retroactively only serves as gratuitous 'stock footage' for a made-for-T.V. movie which was itself imagined as just an advertisement for 'the real thing.'

I dig it.

You live in French-speaking Canada from what I understand so what's your impression of weather girls and/or anchorwomen from one lingual group based upon your broader experience, go ahead

I haven't paid nearly enough attention news to local tv news or weather reports in general in the last 20 years to answer that. What I can say is that growing up, I noticed an obvious distinction in the tone of broadcast news from Quebec vs those coming from the US and English Canada. The prim and proper behavior with perfectly neutral accents of the english news were noticeably absent in the local news I watched, and it made me feel english news was more insincere and detached, and probably being told by people who were in no way affected by it. Part of that was simply that I was watching local news, I'm sure, but it also speaks to how Quebec was still shifting from a heavily rural and isolated culture to a more modernized north american one in those days. The Révolution Tranquille was still kind of recent in the 80s.

Other tv news cultural differences of the time are best expressed in this sketch:

The printers at work are unsecured, so occasionally they just randomly print white supremacy flyers. It's a bummer.

On Monday though, it printed a single sentence - 'A tragic day in Amerikkka, but we will overcome. You are not alone'

Where does the original fall in your ranking?

e: durr, I missed that first line.

How about ranking the spoof Blair Witch movies next then (Bare Wench, Bogus Witch, Bear Wit, Erotic Witch, Scooby-Doo Project, etc).

Just spiteful. People enjoy watching other people suffer so they can feel better about themselves. It's this idiotic "gently caress you, got mine" mentality that's less about making the world better, but rather about making sure people are more miserable.

Of course, we're the bad people because we want basic rights and actually want to treat each other as human beings.

Exactly. In order to truly understand the alt-right mentality, you have to remembered that it's a postmodern movement. To them, the purpose of the wall has nothing to do with actually keeping Mexicans out. The wall itself is simply a monolithic work of propaganda art - an installation clearly plagiarized from 'orientalist' history in service of a new, reactionary, end-of-history ideology. They know the wall doesn't make sense, and they don't care.

And that's why they lost. They thought they could be monsters on the DL, but Trump is out and loud and proud. Why have a substitute when you can have the real thing?
