It's Over...And Not Just the War

-

 


Just a quick post today, so I'll let the front page of the New Zork Times speak for itself. The übermensch Donald Trump has officially thrown in the towel on a war he launched alongside Israel, one begun with unclear goals, sustained with no plan, and ultimately, predictably, lost after a brief 108-day campaign. The only thing achieved was global chaos and regional instability. 

Never forget this, because you are living through history. America the great, America the 'Hooah!' mighty, has lost a war to a mid-tier regional power—and did it in record time. Once upon a time, it took Washington at least a decade to retreat from a conflict. No longer! Under the stunning leadership of the Epstein-class and a manly-man 'Secretary of WAAARRRRRR!!', the world's last superpower has finally earned the right to book a room for one of its presidents at The Fletcher Memorial Home for Incurable Tyrants and Kings, and with that booking, retreat into global retirement.

And be clear about this: that is exactly what the result of this humiliation will be. The luster—earned or not— of America as the undefeated heavyweight champion of the world is now lost for all time. We will now be seen as beatable, even by a relatively minor power like Iran. Take that fact and combine it with the spectacle of the American people twice eschewing more honest and capable candidates and instead electing a man who, in my opinion, is transparently corrupt and incompetent to high office, and the conclusion is unavoidable:

It's over.

Intermezzo: A Review of Alien Earth

  "Don’t feel bad. Your tutor was Noah Hawley.” “Everyone’s a critic!” So goes the complaint of creatives the world over. And in a world awash in social media, where monetized outrage can turn a hate channel into a revenue stream, it’s easy to see why. While I can be critical of entertainment, I like to think I’m forgiving with most creative efforts. Case in point: I recently watched a much-lauded Korean neo-noir that struck me as disappointingly cornball, with action sequences so outlandish they’d make Michael Bay blush. I didn’t care for it—but I could see why others might. Hence, no takedown from me. But every now and then, you encounter something so poorly made, so narratively botched, that silence would be a disservice to fandom at large. Like a pool of acid, it demands barriers, warning tape, and a hazmat suit. That spill is Noah Hawley’s Alien Earth . And this post is your warning to avoid it like the wreck of an otherworldly spaceship on LV-426.  👽👽👽👽👽 To be clear...

  Eddie Muller, the "Czar of Noir", once opined that peak American culture occurred in the 1950s.  For all the failings of America during those early post-war years, it is hard to argue with that take. Not only was it the latter portion of the "Golden Era" for Hollywood, but it was also considered a golden era for science fiction. It was during this time that such greats as Ray Bradbury, Robert A. Heinlein, Alfred Bester, and the visionary editors of Galaxy Magazine,  who pushed the genre toward psychological and sociological storytelling, came into their own.  Even radio, the then-dominant entertainment format, got in on the sci-fi act with such wonderful programs as X Minus One and Exploring Tomorrow .  You can still listen to many of them today . These radio series can be an excellent ‘deep core’ survey of the genre, covering tonally diverse classics from Tom Godwin’s heartbreaking hard‑sci‑fi tale The Cold Equations to Robert Sheckley’s lighter, satirical T...

Day 195: Gorky Park on the Potomac

  At last, the heat broke!  Huzzah! Interestingly, in breaking, it shattered. That is to say, we have been running below normal in terms of temperature, even to the point of nearly sundering an all-time low temperature for August. How wonderful. 😀  Unfortunately, NOAA, or what is left of it,  is predicting a well-above normal August through October. Around these parts, that is known as an "Indian Summer", which is to say a summer that refuses to leave. It is what we had last year, too. Sadly. 🔽🔽🔽🔽🔽 Ironically, it is during these not-so-august days of August that I found myself watching a snowy Cold War thriller called Gorky Park . Of late, I have been in a Cold War mindset.  Perhaps it is due to the excellent Underground '80s music channel via soma.fm , but I suspect it really has to do with the raging hot war in central Europe, aka the Russo-Ukrainian War, combined with an American presidency that is historic not for its alleged successes as much as for i...
