"i will defend movie chani with my life teehee" just say you're a racist that doesn't understand the plot to begin with and shut up
"but now chani has more of a personality!!!!!!" as if we couldn't and shouldn't have had chani both retain her significance to the plot AND receive updated character development lmao
I’m not going to word this very well and these are only half-gestated thoughts but I think the characterisation of Chani in dune part two vs her book counterpart is rooted in a certain type of artistic insecurity, one that is becoming more and more prevalent, which is lack of faith in the audience’s intellect/keenness of eye. Chani must be vocally and visually and obviously repulsed by Paul’s actions rather than remotely complacent or complicit in them because Villeneuve wants the audience to know that he knows Paul is immoral — there must be an in-universe beacon. It’s not exactly a subtle movie, and I think a lot of these un-subtleties were born out of the criticism levied against the first: that it is indisputably a white saviour narrative, that Paul is there to ‘save’ the Fremen and by proxy Chani, the only prominent woman of colour. As a result she must be seen as wholly independent from him, unswayed by his influence, separate and unique from the rest of her people on account of her lack of belief. The problem with this is that it arguably turns her into another caricature, complexities ironed out, remarkably individual and good. She’s a character to be handled with delicacy and I think so many cannot see her for what she really is. But we aren’t trusted to figure her or the narrative out for ourselves; we must be told, directly, over and over again
anyway if anyone wants to see a faithful adaption of dune, i recommend the miniseries from the early 2000s. it's dated and the first episode is Bad (and i do Not like the guy they have playing paul; also they pronounce chani's name wrong), but it's faithful to the books and that's what matters. sigh.
i’m tired of pretending like chani is not the least memorable character in dune.
they’re doing z so wrong cause i’ve seen her deliver some of the coldest acting, but chani lowkey could’ve been played by anyone.
i’ve said what i needed to say…
when ppl ask why i'm nice to the low-wage workers
I don’t think this is how efficient markets are supposed to work.
That’s obscene.
Notice how all the entertainment item such as toys and tv have gotten more affordable over the years, as necessities such as food housing and hospitol services have gotten significantly pricier.
Yeah something’s wrong here.
It’s called a paywall. The rich only look after their own.
This is a pretty good demonstration of why capitalism doesn’t work in practice. One of the core concepts of capitalism is that people will only pay what they can afford so the market will adjust and most things will be affordable to most people. This generally works for leisure items but not essential items.
But, if it’s a choice between death and debt (or other undesirable ways of raising money) people will obviously go with the latter. And if every company that offers essential items/services raises their prices they all benefit, because people will have no choice but to pay more. And the core tenet of capitalism is that businesses should take the action that makes the most profit.
This isn’t capitalism, though. There are THREE companies that produce insulin in the US. Three. The healthcare industry, to include pharmaceuticals, is one of the most heavily regulated in the nation. Another, not so coincidentally, is college, which is heavily subsidized by the government. There is no real competition in either of these areas of the economy, compared to the dozens, or hundreds of brands of televisions, toys, software, and other commodities.
Please, people - stop blaming “capitalism” for government intervention.
King.
Painting this guy as a joke is the ultimate irony
Parks and Recreation was full of intentional parodies that completely backfired on the writers.
All the best things about that show were intended to make fun of small government people but in reality just made them look awesome.
That was me, when I discovered that people on Twitter and Tumblr were serious.
I know this is about football but the general energy of this Jeb! tweet is very ominous
The next day you turn on the news and Jeb Bush is suddenly president and nobody talks about it
MIASTO RUIN | THE CITY OF RUINS
The Polish capital after the Warsaw Uprising ( August 1, 1944 - October 2, 1944 ) as seen in the spring of 1945 .
The video can be seen here:

Warsaw Uprising ’44 was a major World War II operation, in the summer of 1944, by the Polish underground resistance, led by the Home Army (Polish: Armia Krajowa), to liberate Warsaw from German occupation.
The uprising was timed to coincide with the retreat of the German forces from Poland ahead of the Soviet advance. While approaching the eastern suburbs of the city, the Red Army temporarily halted combat operations, enabling the Germans to regroup and defeat the Polish resistance and to raze the city in reprisal.
Although the exact number of casualties remains unknown, it is estimated that about 16,000 members of the Polish resistance were killed and about 6,000 badly wounded. In addition, between 150,000 and 200,000 Polish civilians died, mostly from mass executions. Jews being harboured by Poles were exposed by German house-to-house clearances and mass evictions of entire neighbourhoods.
During the urban combat approximately 25% of Warsaw’s buildings were destroyed. Following the surrender of Polish forces, German troops systematically levelled another 35% of the city block by block. Together with earlier damage suffered in the 1939 invasion of Poland and the Warsaw Ghetto Uprising in 1943, over 85% of the city was destroyed by January 1945, when the course of the events in the Eastern Front forced the Germans to abandon the city.
Warsaw Uprising 1.08.1944 - 02.10.1944
In the memory of insurgents, civilians, fallen and survivors. It was the ultimate evil they said “No” to, and ultimate price they paid.
It was supposed to only last three days…

The City That Stops For 1 Minute Every Year
Warsaw’s minute is at 5pm every August 1st. That is when the Warsaw Uprising began in 1944, Poland’s biggest uprising against German occupation. It lasted 63 days before complete Nazi victory, ending with up to 200,000 civilians killed, and about 700,000 were expelled from Warsaw.
