Currently taking a one month break from social networks for mental health reasons.
Damaging property of the morbidly wealthy is not violence.
I was working at a big NY #VFX facility on the show #TheBlacklist and I requested a copy of #Blender be installed on my computer only to have the CG supervisor call me into his office to let me know he wouldn't allow it because, and I'll quote him directly (you'll just have to imagine the dismissive head shaking and indignant smugness): "We don't install random software here."
Suck it bro! And congrats to everyone who brought the film Flow to life and to the screen with your random software. 🤣
I ran 1.5 miles today and could have kept going but I don't want the joint pain tomorrow. So what's the big deal? "One and a half miles is nuthin'," you might say. And I was 3 minutes over my leisurely 9 minute mile pace, pre-#cancer. Well, I'm a year out from #chemo and radiation, so these little health milestones are big wins for me. So pardon me whilst I give myself a pat on the back. 😁

About five years ago I was at a family gathering where everyone was discussing politics, and talking about the GOP. So I said there was only one fool proof way to deal with nazis. My comment was met with shocked noncomprehending gazes. Someone incredulously asked, "And what's that?"
The answer I gave then is still true today. They only way to ensure nazis stop being nazis is to deal with them like the allied soldiers did in WWII.
Pearls were clutched, yet I was correct.
I think of stories where the tyrant of a villain is sent into exile with nothing, and from then on he must live as a powerless commoner. Now I just want to see it in real life.
I grow more frustrated and tired of repeating the same thing for years and years, only to see people ignore what I absolutely know needs to be the first target if we're ever going to get out of this mess.
But I'll keep repeating it anyway. If you don't take away the oligarchs' money, you don't get to have lasting progress in ANY other area. So whatever your most important social issue is, if you really want to fix it, you have to take away your enemies' war chest: their money. #Plutocracy
