After 50 Years, a Danish Commune Is Shaken From Its Utopian DreamThe semiautonomous community of Christiania, in the heart of Copenhagen, was created as a post-’60s anarchistic paradise. [I have friends who are anarchists and I do not oppose such ideas. I think they should be tried out, in their own independent communities. The NY Times reports on the successes and problems of one such community in Denmark. So here's a GIFT LINK to the article.] https://www.nytimes.com/2023/12/05/realestate/christiania-denmark.html?unlocked_article_code=1.Dk0.lkKV.LnTby4DJffhp&smid=url-share

'Will the newcomers embrace the time-consuming aspects of consensus democracy? “It’s hard to sit in these consensus meetings for four or five hours without getting restless,” Mr. Strange said.'

@mayonesa So, perhaps a loaferocracy? It has a certain appeal. The Church of the Subgenius would be all for it. Slack!https://www.subgenius.com/

@mayonesa Inevitable for Plato is not for us. But right now it looks like he could be proven right if we don't stand up and fight for voting rights.

@wjmaggos It's a good thing whatever the cause. Fewer child parents. Fewer humans in general. I'm for both.

Some movies are blown off by critics (or at least lots of the critics) because the critic is just not hip enough to get the humor. If the movie has a lot of over the top gore/twisted physical comedy in it...well, I guess a horror comedy like RENFIELD, starring Nic Cage and Awkwafina was doomed from the start. It lost money. But it'll be a cult film. You know who you are. There are some really good lines in this thing. Acting--great.Funny? Not for snobs.#subgenius https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=ICydLkeXq3w

Saw REBEL MOON. Must've been a jawbreaker Hollywood pitch: "It's Star Wars crossed with Dune (don't worry it'll be without the depth or nuance of Dune), with major dollops of Game of Thrones, various anime images, Luc Besson movies n' WW2 movies, all crucified on a barely recognizable take of the Seven Samurai! I promise--no original thinking!" ..I kept wincing at the clunky attempts at resonant 'profound' dialogue--as if written by a college sophomore and making no syntactical sense. #streaming

I go to a meditation group, that meets once a week and has special weekend events and it turns out that the new COVID has seized hold of at least a 3rd of the people there. They were all vaccinated for covid BUT they had not gotten the NEWEST vaccination for the latest variants that was released two or three months ago. I got that vaccination at the first opportunity. They're feeling sick, to greater and lesser degrees--I didn't come down with this covid. *Get that vaccination!*
