The best thing they can do in the next SW movie is to have Rey repeat Luke’s “I still sense good in you” speech to Kylo and it failing miserably. Unfortunately, I believe they will have Kylo turn back to the light, then immediately die, leaving every fangirl waxing lyrical about what could have been.

That would be so boringly repetitive though, especially after TLJ went out of its way to subvert RotJ so brutally. Luke had a compelling reason to believe in Vader and want him redeemed, while realizing that she, not Kylo, had to be the Jedi the galaxy needs was a central part of Rey’s character arc.

There are suspicious that cambridge analytica was involved in Brazil election and there was a lot of fake news that people believed… And everyone that I know that voted for him think that its all a joke or not even read his plan to rule the country… And many people didn’t vote so the majority didn’t want him, but hate the worker part to much to vote for them, and don’t understand the danger… idk

And so fascism takes hold, between data mining, fake news, people voting on a lark, and political apathy. It’s depressingly banal.

So it turns out one of Kavanaugh’s accusers has never even met him. That makes me sick. Dr. Ford was actually a victim of this man and some random lady from Kentucky thinks, “I hate Christians and one of them has been accused of something terrible, why don’t I pretend it happened to me too?” What an insult to Dr. Ford. What an insult to actual victims everywhere. I bet this happened with Trump and Cosby too. Victims deserve better than liars looking to mooch on their trauma for power.

False accusers hurt not only potentially innocent people but other victims as well, and deserve strong censure and potentially legal penalties.

I’ve seen before a belief that the Angel of Death is a personification of natural events, as Herodotus’s account of the deaths of the Assyrians described in the Ketuvim, attributes Sennacherib’s loss to a sudden overgrowth of mice. I don’t know if I believe as such, but there is an idea that the horrible things that happen in the Tanakh attributed to God would have happened anyways. (Moth)

I have a different take. I interpret God in the stories, for the most part, as karma–a kind of moral physics of the universe. I don’t think God made a choice to kill the firstborn of Egypt, I think that was metaphor for the Egyptians’ crimes coming back to them. If you enslave people and kill their children, it will come back in the blood of your own children. it doesn’t matter if you did it yourself; you live in a house built on the blood and bones of slaves, and can’t complain if it collapses on you. This past June I put down these thoughts in more detail in relation to the situation in the United States (link).

one of the many things that drives me up the wall about reyl0s is the way they pretend like they predicted everything that happened in TLJ. How quickly they forget that it ended the exact opposite way they were all predicting. Kylo turning back to the light in TLJ was the cornerstone of every reyl0 theory right up until the premiere confirmed that he didn’t. Then they quickly shifted their goalposts yet again and now they are pretending like they’ve always insisted that he wouldn’t turn until 9

RJ trolled a lot of people but he trolled Reylows the hardest and they don’t even get it smh
