Back in the early 00s, I had the supreme pleasure of discovering Alec Guinness as George Smiley in the BBC’s miniseries masterpiece Tinker, Tailor, Soldier, Spy from 1979, then the sequel and conclusion three years later, Smiley’s People, not as transcendent but then again, how could it equal, let alone surpass, perfection.

Around 2010, my first reaction upon hearing of a remake was of complete disdain - “here is an already perfect miniseries, what is it with this incessant compulsion to remake everything?”
So I didn’t watch the Gary Oldman movie until a couple of years after it came out, it was playing on TV and decided to give it a try.

To my utter astonishment, I realized I was watching what was to become my favorite film of the entire decade. What an achievement!
Now I love the film and the miniseries equally, as separate mountaintops.

“That’s what you get for existing, you little shit.”

Or go deep like the Marianas Trench, binge-watch The Cisco Kid, Colgate Comedy Hour and Texaco Fireside Theater!

The difference between a shithead like this, and any and all sane people, is that sane people could see this unnecessary shitstorm approaching from afar, while these stunted minds only seem to be able to see things only after things smack then in the face.
Fuck him, all his ilk and the greedy, myopic, ignorant goddamned boat they rode one.

GODDAMN, JIMMY!

I’m gonna make y’all uncomfortable from muscle memory with another caption:
No internet, waiting for the ISP tech guy to arrive.

Algebra and algorithms are the Islamic attempt at establishing a Caliphate Of Math!

I would have gone sideways and said “Willem Dafoe”!

Hey… that looks eerily similar to my own microwave.

Not just fascists, also those who empower fascists by sitting on their lazy ignorant smug asses on Election Day, bOtH pArTiEs ArE tHe SaMe LoL aMiRiTe, who want some sort of collapse to happen… because they fancy themselves at the top of their imagined new “purity” food chain, I mean… look at their purity! Aren’t they so special and so above it all?

They read things! On the internet! Wow!
They reject anything that doesn’t fit their narrative. They LOVE having their hollow ego massaged in circlejerks and by bad-faith actors.

God forbid anything less than perfect and pure crosses their medieval path, lest they feel offended and… oh yeah, they do nothing. Which is why we’re in this goddamned mess in the first place. They allowed racist, misogynistic fascism to take firm root, good luck weeding it out now.

I can’t hear it. I can, however, smell it. Intensely.
It may be the acid kicking in, though.

bOtH pArTiEs ArE tHe SaMe LoL aMiRiTe… i’M sUcH aN aNaRcHiSt HyUcK hYuCk HyUcK!!!

It’s like these mentally lazy ignorant people look all around themselves, see how the horizon is basically at the same distance all around them, therefore conclude that they must be the center of the universe, then sprinkle in a few fashionable internet soundbites and catchphrases to “make themselves sound interesting” and “with it”.

Intergalactic spider-powered electromagnetic tentacled advertising droids!

Crystal Toad… Crystoad?

It’s narcissism.
“Look at me! I am at the center of the end of time!”

Exactly like the evangelical wingnuts with their “I am living n the last generation and the rapture is imminent yadda yadda yadda… I’m special!”

Meet the new boss.
Same as the old boss.
We won’t get fooled again!

Nobody knows what these pre-pottery people were called or called themselves, but today a Turkic term is used - Taş Tepeler, which translates to “rocky hills”, and the name Gobeklitepe means “potbelly hill”.

Ah yes… good ole-fashioned nazi Germany!
