A Revenge That Looks Like Grace

With each minute that passed, I waited for my palette of retribution to be quenched. But often, Pig delivered the opposite

Why do movie franchises like John Wick, and The Equalizer, keep coming out with sequels? Aside from the money grab another installment brings, the cycle of revenge is addictive, providing the thrill of vindication through stylized violence often under the guise of a justifiable cause. Pig makes for a pretty lousy revenge film. John Wick this is not. Rob chooses to fight by other means. Instead of hand-to-hand combat, Rob gives pointers on French toast and lessons about a persimmon tree. He rebukes a sell-out chef at his restaurant and slowly breaks down Amir’s walls. With childlike vulnerability, Amir shares with Rob that the happiest he’s ever seen his parents was after they had had a meal at Rob’s former restaurant.

At the St. Patrick’s Day Varietopia this year we did a medley of Sinéad songs. Rehearsing the medley got me to listen to her albums again for the first time in years & to watch the recent doc about her.

What an incredible artist and person. A real one among real ones.

Rest in Power to someone who personified courage.

Amazing how every guide on interacting with police, including ones that are explicitly pro-cop, are indistinguishable from guides on how to avoid being attacked by a wild animal.

Don't make any sudden movements, avoid eye contact, stay calm or you WILL die. Wait, what do you mean this is advice for interacting with a human being and not a hungry bear?

"Keep your hands on the steering wheel and don't have anything in them, a police officer might mistake a cellphone for a weapon." Okay, should I also hold my hand out for him to sniff when he approaches so that he knows I'm not a threat?

Last year I wrote a song about working as a waiter at Christmas and about the moral imperative of quitting your job.

“Simply preaching God’s love is not an antidote to this, because they have been taught that there is no contradiction in God being both loving and hateful, nor is there a problem with their being both loving (to insiders) and hateful (to outsiders) themselves. Instead of their experience of God’s love leading them to follow the teaching of Jesus and caring for the least, this two-faced God theology has taught them to ignore the love they experience, and instead be driven by fear and anger which is pounded into people’s psyches by what they hear Sunday after Sunday, not to mention their diet of angry pundits and media that they consume 24-7.”

An earlier version of this article misstated the activity on QAnon message boards on 8kun. One of the message boards about QAnon had fewer new posts than the board for adult-diaper fetishists, not the most active QAnon board.
