starwars day in idea barrages

1.) If you turn a pair of Converses inside-out are they now a pair of Contrapositives?

2.) When law is just a mechanism to justify, to codify hate and fear, discard it. When law is a mechanism to aid, to help us collectively help each other, embrace it. It’s all just words on paper, sometimes useful, sometimes monstrous. Be neutral toward order, it’s a tool not an end.

3.) I mean, you get that Giuliani blabbed on purpose, right? To try and frame it as a lesser crime than the campaign finance violation it actually is. Obvious tactic is obvious. These guys are stupid but they’re a LOT more evil than they are stupid. This is part of The Plan.

4.) It’s not about telling people things in story, it’s not even about knowing things as a storyteller. It’s about exploring the things you’re trying to know and taking people along for the ride, that they might explore too. Surety is the death of story, the death of everything.

5.) What’s flour and butter and milk and infinitely less adorable than it thinks it is? Zooey Bechamel.

6.) Sometimes I wonder, did the hipsters ruin bacon on purpose. Let’s come up with a fun conspiracy about this.

7.) Ask me who I ship and I say “Athena and Hephaestus”. The strong wise smart girl swooping in to save the gnarled craftsman from the superficial beauty of Aphrodite, The only knock against it is that their couple portmanteau would be “Hep-A”.

8.) It’s fascinating that the ridiculousness of the name “Doctor Strange” keeps appearing in the Marvel movies when, of course, the name “Benedict Cumberbatch” is fifty times more insane.
