I haven’t been able to stop thinking about Paul Kessler. He was an older Jewish man beloved in his community who was murdered. He was murdered by a protester who crossed the street and bashed him in the head with a megaphone. And he got charged with involuntary manslaughter and got 1 year in jail. 1 year in jail and 2 years probation. Paul’s wife of 43 years and his son will never get to see him again. The man who took him from them got what should be considered a slap on the wrist. His family will be able to see him whenever the hell they want. People get more jail time for misdemeanors.

There was definitive proof he beat Kessler with the megaphone causing him to die, and he still only got one year, California and the American government have made it loud and clear that you can kill Jews and get a slap on the wrist, genuinely so fucking upsetting and people will still deny the anti semitism in the government

A detail I never see people talk about in Star Trek: Deep Space Nine 6x19 "In the Pale Moonlight" is that Grathon Tolar (the guy Ben Sisko hires to make the fake recording of Weyoun plotting against Romulus) initially thinks that Sisko wants to commission some bespoke porn.

This is not just some random artist he found on the Space Internet, mind you. Tolar was on death row in a Klingon prison, and Sisko somehow convinced Chancellor Gowron to pardon him, even though he wouldn't have been able to specify the *reason* he wanted this particular death row inmate pardoned.

And Tolar's first thought, when he meets the man who saved his life (with an extremely non-trivial feat of international diplomacy), is that he did it because he really really wants some very specific pornography custom-made to his specifications and is willing to call in no-questions-asked favors from a foreign head of state in order to get it.

Idk, that's just kinda fascinating to me. Have people gone to similar lengths to commission porn from Tolar before? If not, why is that his assumption? It raises some very weird questions about the porn industry in the Star Trek universe.

Nope, different episode. That sounds vaguely familiar, but I can't remember which specific episode you're thinking of.

Porn doesn't really come up in "In the Pale Moonlight" outside the one scene I'm talking about. And it's really just a brief exchange within a longer scene, but it stuck with me because the implications are so baffling.

If you think taking precautions during your ongoing pandemic plus other viral outbreaks is a political stance, I have news for you: viruses don't know about your politics. All they want is to get in you and reproduce. Mask up, stay safe. emojis: black heart, blue heart, masked, spoon

The Good Place is an excellent show for many reasons, but one that doesn't really get talked about enough, probably because of how the season 1 twist obscures it, is that the 'No Exit'-esque "Hell is Other People" scenario for an afterlife of eternal torture is an avante garde experiment from an Auteur demon who's trying to convince the other demons of his Vision while they're like "idk man flaying genitals works really good"

“The more I occupied myself with the individual cases of war criminals, the less I believed them to be monsters. What if they *are* ordinary people, just like us, who found themselves in particular circumstances and made wrong moral choices? What might this tell us about *ourselves*?”

—

From “Why We Need Monsters” in They Would Never Hurt a Fly: War Criminals on Trial in The Hague by Slavenka Drakulić.

She goes on to say:

You sit in a courtroom watching a defendant day after day and at first you wonder, as Primo Levi did, “if this is a man.” No, this is not a man, it is all too easy to answer, but as the days pass you find the criminals become increasingly human. Soon you feel that you know them intimately. You watch their faces, ugly or pleasant, their small habits of yawning, taking notes, scratching their heads, cleaning their nails, and you have to ask yourself: what if this is a man? The more you know them, the more you wonder how they could have committed such crimes, these waiters and taxi drivers, teachers and peasants in front of you. And the more you realize that war criminals might be ordinary people, the more afraid you become. Of course, this is because the consequences are more serious than if they were monsters. If ordinary people committed war crimes, it means that any of us can commit them. Now you understand why it is so easy and comfortable to accept that war criminals are monsters, rather than to agree with Ervin Staub that “evil that arises out of ordinary thinking and is committed by ordinary people is the norm, not the exception.”

make your subtitles accurate to what’s being said or i will kill you!!!!

[sycamorality]

really cool example i have of someone making youtube subtitles that both include how something (in this case, a username) is spelled, and how the narrator pronounces it. i think more people should do this
