The Day That Derailed The Future


This is the day that we remember the 3,000 civilians who died in an act of unspeakable terror, made possible by gross governmental negligence and which was used to justify a complete re-orientation of our national priorities and drive us into a cultural, economic, human rights, and military quagmire. 

The immense potential that the 20th century held has thus far not been realized aside from the dystopian visions of some sci-fi writers and the Cassandra-like warnings of Solzhenitsyn. 

It should forever be a reminder of the importance of vigilance, and the dangers of Government overreach. 

It should not be forgotten Mr. President.

Thoughts From The Dersh


Oh wow! It posted! 

Dershowitz, who is quite emphatically not a Trump supporter,  points out the very troubling overreach of of the never Trump lawfare. In going after the lawyers, the Dems are crossing a Rubicon.

No one who crosses the Left will be able to get legal representation if this stands.

Contrary to many who assume these people are stupid and can't process the conditional hypothetical of the shoe being on the other foot, they are NOT stupid. The Left understands the concept of reciprocity perfectly well. They don't expect they will face reciprocity... because they don't plan to ever be out of power....They're going for the brass ring. 

The implications of this are dark indeed.

MOVIE NIGHT

I'm still having issues interfacing with the blog. However streaming is actually going reasonably well.....to that end.....


Tonight at  9:00 PM EST / 01:00am UTC join us at https://www.twitch.tv/brickmuppet for a Super-Secret-Silent-Sci-Fi Saturday as we watch 20,000 Leagues Under The Sea (1916). We showed this once before...to two viewers. However, this is a fascinating film, and the first theatrical release to feature actual underwater photography. I actually have multiple movie posters and newspaper ads to show, but the blog doesn't like images right now....

So....IMAGINE if you will : SHARKS!, A GIANT OCTOPUS!, FISH!, STALWART HEROES STANDING AGAINST THEM!, AN OLD BEARDED GUY WITH A SEXTANT!

Or....join us for all the fun tonight.

Afterwards we'll be playing Disgaea: Hour of Darkness

I May Have To Go To A Theater

This movie seems to be causing a considerable amount of consternation amongst certain people in the laptop class.  That's a tad disturbing.

Midnight Movie Night on Kick!

Tonight (Sat7/8/23) at 21:00 EST/ 01:00 UTC we'll be doing another Testing and Breaking Things Stream over on Kick.com.  


We'll be doing a bit of grinding in Disgaea to level up the new character and around Midnight we're going to watch some Silent movies, a silent short that is TBA and Der Golem (1920) 

A German expressionistic Horror film set in the middle ages. The Golem is the last film in what was the very first Multimedia mass merchandising  SciFi Horror Franchises, with Book, Radio, Film and Merchandise elements. It is also a prequel that serves as the origin story for the film series.  https://kick.com/brickmuppet  Come by, say "Hi!" and poke about while checking out the Beta of Kick.com!    


(We actually showed this looonng ago on Twitch, but only had 2 viewers the whole night and this film really deserves to be seen. )

Then and Now

So, in what is now called Independence Hall, in Philadelphia, 247 years ago today, a group of men, some more reluctantly than others, declared the independence of their homeland from their nation. 


After a declaration of principles, they listed their grievances. Those grievances are highlighted in red below the fold. 

Aside from certain ones that have a contemporary ring to them ("He has excited domestic insurrections amongst us...") and a few others that were products of their time, I am struck by how mundane many of these concerns seem to most of us today, yet back then were seen as sufficient infractions of liberty to inspire men to take up arms against the most powerful military in the world. 

I'm further struck be the lack of anything approaching child genital mutilation amongst the grievances. 

And yet today, there is no call for insurrection. 
Perhaps we are more civilized than them.
Perhaps we are more...something else. 
more...

TRYING OUT KICK.COM

KICK.COM is a new streaming network that seems to be much more friendly to individual streamers than Twitch...whose recent TOS fiasco has got a lot of streamers very nervous. Kick is currently in beta but it does have the capability to stream and seems to work fine with few bugs. These are mostly very minor streamer interface related things and not at all apparent to viewers

Well.....

My internet alter ego had a short test stream last night that worked OK. Reviewing the V.O.D. it still looked OK from the viewer end. So I'm going to do a SURPRISE full-on stream tonight at 9PM/21:00 EST /01:00 UTC over on https://kick.com/BRICKMUPPET We will be grinding in the item world of Disgaea: Hour of Darkness while chatting and spamming ALL 30 of my emotes. (Twitch currently lets me use 5) 
Stop by, say 'Hi!" and check out  Kick.com.

Well...Looks Like Rudyard's About to Get Lynched!

Rudyard Lynch has a good overview of the history an RELIGIOSITY of communist thought (and far leftism in general). Unlike a lot on the right he looks closely and fairly at the genuine appeal this malign force has, why so many are persuaded by it's arguments and why it spread so fast. This is more honest and helpful than assuming they are all 2-dimensional pulp villains. (Which, to be fair is a rational, if misguided conclusion if one looks only at Communism's results). It's 50 minutes, but it is worth the time.

SURPRISE!

Tonight, as mentioned on stream the last few days, Brickmuppet Channel on Twitch will be having a surprise stream featuring La Pucelle: Tactics. Starting at 21:00 EST/01:00 UTC......


WE'RE GONNA PLAY IT TILL WE BEAT IT!
It might take 4 hours. It might take 24. 



We're also having a sub-athon, but that is ongoing while I pursues my far away goal of 15 subscribers, so the important takeaway is that I intend to actually FINISH a game. 

If we finish exceedingly early we'll chat a bit and explore some of the other games that the channel has acquired.

Come by and say "Hi!" as we grind....and grind....and grind some more in preparation for sallying forth on yet ANOTHER rematch with the final boss! 

Again and again....until we vanquish this genocidal monster with mommy-issues and save the world, our friends and hope itself. 

Stare in bewilderment at the late '90s Japanese take on fantasy Christianity. Marvel at the boomer trying to make sense of a PS2, Laugh at the inscrutable early 2000's  Woolseyisms, Come for the scuff, stay for the cringe!

See you all there in 3 hours. 

UPDATE: 
It took almost 10 hours....but La Pucelle: Tactics has been vanquished.  Thursday, we begin Disgaea!
