Mind you, Trek isn’t quite as bad as Star Wars in this regard. I can still type the name of, say, Jenna D’Sora or Susanna Leijtin into Memory Beta and discover that they’ve never appeared in any of the novels since their appearances on TNG.

Willem seems so disappointed in this fact...

In Nagle’s defense, Kill All Normies was going to the publishers just as Milo’s star was starting to fall. Personally, I found that Nagle’s discussion of combined with the events surrounding his fall from grace suggested to me that he was ultimately an unknowing “useful idiot” for two parties at once. More traditional conservatives (or at least the more utilitarian ones focused on campaign strategy) saw him as a way to drum up support from a younger, traditionally anti-conservative cohort and get them to vote Republican. Meanwhile, people with genuine racist, white supremacist, or hard-right views wanted to use him both to drum up support from a new younger demographic and to use him as a Trojan horse to inject “alt-right” arguments into the political mainstream. After the election and he had served his purpose, neither of these groups had any more use or fondness for him, so away he went. (I may be speaking beyond the evidence, but I feel like part of the mainstream conservative turn against Milo was due to the fact that, for all their many sins, conservatives actually didn’t want to let potential neo-Nazis into the Republican Party.) As for your main point, I sometimes feel that modern American leftism has a problem with knowing how to criticize but not knowing how to rule. Even in places where leftists are in positions of authority, there is still a tendency to see themselves as rebels pushing against a white patriarchal conservative Other, even when the Other in question is far smaller and less influential than they are. It leads to situations where people are fighting battles that have already been fought and won, or in attacking people rather than trying to persuade or cajole them. (These are very fragmentary thoughts that I haven’t put much concerted effort into articulating, so take everything in this last paragraph with a grain of salt.)

Those who claim that the new right-wing sensibility online today is just more of the same old right, undeserving of attention of differentiation, are wrong. Although it is constantly changing, in this important early stage of its appeal, it’s ability to assume the aesthetics of counterculture transgression and nonconformity tells us many things about its appeal. It has more in common with the 1968 left’s slogan, “It is forbidden to forbid” than it does anything most recognize as part of any traditionalist right. – Angela Nagle, Kill All Normies

Thought it was a good idea to revisit this book. Even though it’s only a couple years old, some of it – the idea of Milo sustaining any sort of status or influence – seems quaint now, but this is what is most disorienting for older leftists. If the right is the underground, the cultural renegades, then we are its moral police, and we don’t do moral policing well. We lose too much by tightening the reigns and saying, “no, you can’t say this… you can’t THINK this.” I lived through the 90s version of political correctness (watch the movie PCU – I swear it’s documentary), and it was customary for even those on the far left to mock it. The left being any kind of moral majority is laughable. 

I’m barely social on this social website, but I saw @coppermarigolds do this and I figured why not.

Rules: Tag 9 people you want to know better or just because you feel like it.

Relationship status: Single. Deeply, deeply, deeply single.

Favorite color: I generally like cooler colors, so depending on my mood I switch between forest green and navy blue, but I won’t turn my nose up at a nice burgundy or black.

Lipstick or chapstick: Neither. Lipstick ain’t my scene, and I have skin issues that make chapstick worth the hassle.

Last song I listened to: Gonna make it a twofer with “Gibraltar Bridge” and “Derailed,” two unreleased songs from the Wolfenstein: The New Order soundtrack that were put on Youtube by a fan.

Last movie I watched: Our Man in Havana, a delightful farce from 1960 that stars Alec Guinness as a hapless vacuum cleaner salesman in prerevolutionary Havana that is mistakenly recruited as a spy and starts sending in reports full of made-up stuff just to earn a paycheck. Imagine a version of Burn After Reading that still has faith in mankind.

Top 3 TV Shows: I’m not much of a TV guy anymore, but if I had to name three...Star Trek: The Next Generation, Season 1 of True Detective, and The Legend of Korra.

Top 3 Characters: Kuvira, Richard III, Jean-Luc Picard.

Top 3 Bands: Because I am essentially a moody teenage girl, I’m going to go with mind.in.a.box, VNV Nation, and whatever Trent Reznor’s up to.

Books I’m reading: I’m between books at the moment, but I’m going to be picking up L. E. Modesitt’s Of Tangible Ghosts this weekend. It’s the first book of an alternate history trilogy set in a world where North America was primarily colonized by the Dutch and ghosts are real.

Those two facts may not be connected. 

I will forgo the tagging because I’m not sure that I actually know nine people in real life. :p

Looky looky @coppermarigolds! Now that’s interesting: Bataar Jr. isn’t sitting with his family in the gallery. I wonder if he’s been scheduled for a later hearing, or if Suyin has...“arranged” matters so that he’ll be serving a lifetime sentence in “exile” in Zaofu in exchange for not facing trial. Both theories are plausible, given what we have seen of Suyin’s character. Hmm, Kuvira still believes that her cause was a just one, still considers the other powers hypocrites for their attitudes towards her and the former Earth Kingdom (which they are), the divide between her and Suyin (a divide, ironically, for which Suyin herself still refuses to take responsibility)...it’s still early to tell, but it looks like this comic is bringing us some of the issues that weren’t handled that well in Book 4 and which the Kuvira fandom has discussed extensively. It’s still too early to tell, but at the moment there’s reason to be optimistic for this comic.

The Legend of Korra: Ruins of the Empire Part One PREVIEW PAGES!

After the new Korra graphic novel trilogy was unveiled yesterday, today we have our first preview pages courtesy of Entertainment Weekly!

And they. Look. Amazing.

The new artist, Michelle Wong, has done a STUNNING job bringing the Avatar universe to life.

Equally as exciting is that it appears the story is full steam ahead, picking up directly where the tumultuous Earth Kingdom plot of Book Three: Change and Book Four: Balance left off. Kuvira is on trial for her crimes as leader of the now-defunct Earth Empire, and she’s not backing down.

In these pages, she also has a quick reunion with her sometimes-foster-mother Suyin Beifong.

It’ll be really interesting to see where these plot threads go, especially considering the intriguing points mentioned in the official description for Part One:

Korra must decide who to trust as the fate of the Earth Kingdom hangs in the balance!

On the eve of its first elections, the Earth Kingdom finds its future endangered by its past. Even as Kuvira stands trial for her crimes, vestiges of her imperial ambitions threaten to undermine the nation’s democratic hopes. But when Korra, Asami, Mako, and Bolin don’t all see eye-to-eye as to the solution, drastic measures will be taken to halt a new march to war!

All in all, these pages just look beautiful– the art style, on-model characters and facial expressions, and detailed backgrounds, in tandem with a plotline directly continuing from the series, really make it feel like we’re back in the show again. Can not WAIT to get a whole trilogy of this.

Ruins of the Empire Part One is coming May 21st, 2019.

“Cats that look like Lenin” really should be a thing.

I thought my parent’s cat Archie was really serious about his breadmaking, but this is a whole other level. (His brother Claude, meanwhile, doesn’t seem to knead that much.) Also, Bodhi is getting so big!!! <3

I remember back in the day when this blanket used to be mine…
