Fire Walk With Me

There’s a special flavor of ‘Protestants from the USA who are the same folks who would buy a picture of Ronald Reagan and White Jesus high fiving’

These were grown ass adult women who were so enamored in their faith that they REFUSED TO ACKNOWLEDGE AN ENTIRE DAY OF THE MONTH and just acted like it didn’t exist. Like fuck to this day I wonder what they would do if they had kids?? Keep them home?? What if they had a doctors appointment and they had to say “No sorry I don’t believe in the 31st”??? Do they just stay home with the windows and doors locked and the curtains drawn and pray all day???? 

I had cousins who were part of the same church(my mother wasn’t christian and didn’t raise us as christian and my mom only sent me there with them because they would give us a free breakfast and we were poor) so while my siblings and I got to go out trick or treating my cousins stayed home with my aunt and handed out little christian comic booklets about how Halloween is evil and if you don’t love god you will burn in hell. They gave these books to CHILDREN.

Everybody’s cracking jokes about how it’s a desperate attempt to stay relevant in the age of Amazon.

The stage itself was turned into a cafe:

You can’t even begin to comprehend the massive amounts of money this place makes, despite the fact that they turned the theatre boxes into reading nooks like this:

I’ve literally spent days holed up in there reading books for free while also consuming massive amounts of coffee and pastries.

Why do all TV cops, even the good ones, hate Internal Affairs? Isn’t the job of Internal Affairs to root out the “bad cops”? Isn’t their job to make sure police follow the rules? Why is that presented as inherently evil or antagonistic? 

Why do all TV cops, even the good ones, hate defense attorneys? Isn’t the defense attorney’s job to protect the rights of all citizens? Isn’t it their job to make sure police follow the law? Isn’t it their job to make sure everyone is treated fairly under the system? Why is that presented as inherently evil or antagonistic? 

Why do all TV cops, even the good ones, get upset when citizens invoke their constitutional rights? Don’t those rights exist to ensure all citizens are treated fairly? Don’t they exist to ensure innocent people are not wrongfully incriminated? Why are citizens who invoke their rights presented as dishonest, untrustworthy, or antagonistic? 

To be clear, I’ve watched Brooklyn 99 and enjoyed it. I was watching Elementary the other day. But even when I watch shows I like, I make a mental note every time a cop lies, breaks the law, subverts someone’s basic rights, or just generally acts like an asshole to the people the are meant to serve and protect. 

How often are they called out on their behavior? How often are they punished for it? How often is it reinforced as correct by the narrative?

Why are protections of innocent people’s rights only ever framed as “slowing the police down” and preventing them from really catching the bad guy? Why is it that every time an officer has an instinct to break the rules, they’re narratively vindicated?

So, what does this mean? It means that Victor looked at the dicks of various corpses, testing not only to make sure they work, but also to find what he considered to be the best corpse dick. Does this mean the monster was extremely hung? Or did Victor simply pick the dick that seemed most attractive to him? Did he memorize the appearance of the dicks, or did he line them up to compare?
