bluesky screenshot quote post from John Rogers @johnrogers.bsky.social: We have improbably gotten five seasons of original run and three seasons of reboot off some very speechifying criminals for exactly this reason original post from G. Willow Wilson @gwillow.me: If you want to write heroes in the year 2025, you have to decide what they stand for, and then stand for it. The mealy-mouthed, offend-no-one approach no longer works. People respond to the Walter Whites bc you can put truth in their mouths. So put truth in the mouths of the good guys next in thread from John Rogers @johnrogers.bsky.social: The first run ended with "Justice or order, some day you will have to choose" and the third season of the reboot has Parker (unknowingly) quoting Judith Shklar. Shoot your shot ALT
screenshot from bluesky (next post in thread from above) John Rogers @johnrogers.bsky.social: Credit where credit is due, back in the day we seriously got a memo from the bosses in Atlanta to change the opening speech to "SOME of the rich and powerful take what they want ..." and Michael Wright and Dean told them to fuck right off.

I think my recent and ongoing obsession with Leverage is helping me shift to the perspective that I don’t especially care that what Trump and Musk are doing is illegal and unconstitutional (which it is), I care that it is cruel and causing excessive suffering for millions of people, or even dozens of people. I’m glad that people like Tish James and my college friend who works for her are fighting the good legal fight, but the law does not really seem to matter to the people grabbing power so why should it matter to me?

Also I just finally read The Dispossessed and the basics of anarchism are bubbling in my brain.
