I actually think making all-black fantasy is great and this looks interesting. I would watch it. I've heard of the book series and I'm aware it's a fantasy world based on West African culture and Yoruba mythology.

The double standard that many people are tired of, though, is that if anyone tried to do an adaptation of this fantasy world and race-swapped characters with non-Africans, it would be heavily protested and never make it past pre-production. And yet that is somehow totally permitted when adapting mythology or fantasy worlds based on European cultures like Middle-earth and then detractors are shouted down as "racist." 🤷‍♂️

I'm using fantasy worlds (I'm aware it also happens with historic stories) to illustrate a point: many who support race-swapping fantasy worlds like Middle-earth argue in favor of it by saying, "Why does it matter? It's fantasy!" If that same argument doesn't also apply to Children of Blood and Bone then it's hypocritical.

@carogroyp "Is this the expansion pack?" 😂

You can't change a person with baked-in, manipulative, narcissistic behaviors. I'm talking about baked in, not "bad habits they can learn to drop."

I offer peer coaching and advice to clients in one-hour sessions. Many who come to me have been living with fundamentally narcissistic or manipulative people for years.

By the time they come to me, they're fed up, and (usually) ready to take a new step in a new direction.

But I can't offer them what they'd really like: a way to change their mother/father/wife/husband to be a normal, or even kind person.

What I can offer is a realistic assessment of the choices available. But none of those choices is "make my wife/father/husband/mother into a nice person."

The choices are limited:

-Decrease the amount of contact
-Be willing to end calls/texts/emails when a person crosses a line (they may never stop crossing it)
-Lower your expectations to realistic ones, and decide if you can live with maintaining contact in that context
-End the relationship

Remember, I'm not talking about normal-range people who just have problems that can be worked on. That's a different story.

@DrewPavlou @BasilianThought If you met him, you would realize Basil is actually a lovely person, very funny, and an engaging conversationalist. He's also quite brilliant, and adds a lot of value to the political discourse in America.

Also, you're in Australia. Mind your own business Down Under.

🎶 And I don't even care
To shake these zipper blues
And we don't know
Just where our bones will rest
To dust, I guess
Forgotten and absorbed
To the Earth, below 🎶

@Joeoltmann Of course they've watched it. They know exactly what they're doing and are framing this innocent man on purpose. It's evil.

Our country won’t get back on track until we have principled, virtuous leaders who can survive on a government paycheck.

If your education didn't teach you how to love music, literature and art, you've learned everything about making a living and nothing about being alive.

“Pick another day.”

That’s the first thing retired FBI whistleblower George Hill says when two FBI agents from the Philadelphia Field Office show up at his door on Ring camera — over a tweet.

The agents themselves indicate on the video they know it isn’t a real threat. They still came within 24 hours of Laura Loomer running to the top of the federal government. George is a 26-year military intelligence veteran and Marine (the FBI showed up on the Marine Corps birthday, no less), with five years at the NSA and 11 years at the FBI as a Supervisory Intelligence Analyst.

This is the “Good German” problem in real time. These agents, "Will" and "Brian," are just "ordinary men" who drove to knock on a door despite knowing it was wrong. No principles to push back and say: “this is protected speech and not a threat.” Just compliance and "following orders." (They didn't even have the courage to leave a real business card with their names - just a blank one from the field office.)

The FBI showed who they were during the Biden admin. They knocked on doors over politics, protected speech, or thin pretexts. They sent a SWAT team over politics, religion, or your criticism of whatever admin approves their budget.

Nothing in that culture has changed. The institution didn’t change. You CANNOT do reform when you keep the same people.

Hill has testified about the Bureau’s handling of Jan. 6 data. He has spoken out about the role the FBI has played in creating the modern American "police state."

Now they’re at his front door proving they haven't addressed the problem... over protected speech in a f-ing tweet. And even the agents on video seemed embarrassed about complying with the order.

The "following orders" will continue until the Bureau's gutless management has been completely dismantled.
