Hackworth

I just like it as a visceral image of the powers of the past trying to steal from the future. It works in a lot of contexts where things that should feel viscerally distressing are diluted to anxiety by dehumanizing systems.

Saturn Devouring His Son depicts the Greek myth in which Chronus devours his children to avoid his own demise. So stealing their futures in an ultimately futile attempt to prolong his.

Lawnmower Man (1992)

I stopped trying to convince anyone of anything. I’ll voice my perspective, listen to theirs, and whatever. It’s exceedingly rare for people to change their minds on the spot. All we can really do is plant a seed that may (or may not) germinate.

Regardless of who’s speaking, I always end up staring at the people sitting/standing behind them. Some part of me is waiting for them to break character, I think.

Sad +1

Do sites other than Sensible Erection/Election do this kind of voting? I kinda miss it.

How does it makes you feel to have done as good or better?
