Update on the Stagehands of Hastur being in my D&D game: they were threatening, but they also sparked a discussion over whether Minions were complicit in the AIDS crisis, so, know that, I guess.

For those who didn’t know, Nausicaaharris had previously messaged me about using the very-blatantly-Minions-inspired Stagehands of Hastur in her D&D campaign.

And, Nausicaa, if you’re implying by that statement that there was a debate on whether or not the Minions worked for Ronald Regan in-universe, I am 100% without a doubt that they most certainly did.

I mean, they do gravitate to the most evil figure at the moment, which would also mean they probably worked for Kissinger/Nixon...

The Boondocks #1: “The Garden Party” | November 6, 2005 – 11:00PM | S01E01

Could unexamined racism both against “the blacks” and “anime americans” have lead me to previously not watch/enjoy this show? At least a little bit, probably. But I’m not just here to confess to you my previous shallow distaste for this program (which I actually didn’t really watch at all when it started; because I hated the anime-inspired look, mostly). I’m also here to confess that I fucking loved this episode, and I think this show might rule.

Okay, I know it doesn’t “rule”. At least, I know there are episodes of this show that I don’t like that much or think are “just okay”. I’ve revisited this show randomly off-and-on as it naturally entered my life or became fodder for my other blog, where I initially tried to match up every episode of the Simpsons with a companion episode of a different show with similar content. I did a few Boondocks episodes as part of that. My Simpsons blog was a disaster, folks. Do not read it. Worse than this one by far. Oh, if you’re curious, you can read the episode titles and nothing else: here.

I didn’t really read the Boondocks comic strip, but I recognized it as “better than most” without much to go on. I do remember reading these pair of comics (the first) (the second) in 2004 and thinking it was really funny. Then I saw the promo for this show, which largely consists of the first scene of this episode, wherein Huey Freeman commands the mic at a rich white person garden party and drops various truths: “Jesus was black, Ronald Regan was the devil, and the government is lying about 9/11. Thank you.” This causes all the rich white people to go crazy and start rioting. I think for some reason I thought this scene represented the tone of the entire show and WASN’T just a dream sequence, because that’s what it is. Huey is having delusions of grandeur.

All of those things Huey says, by the way, I agree with, okay? Aren’t I nice and not a “cracker-ass”? yoo-hoo, black dudes, please DM me and let me know I’m doing great.

Granddad jerks Huey awake. Huey shares his dream with Granddad, who scolds him for ever even entertaining the thought of telling white people the truth. I thought, actually yeah, most white people could be described as people who are far too fragile to be told almost any harsh truth about themselves, either as an individual or a collective. I once worked at a video store and it was a thing that we observed that the absolute worst customers we had were all rich older-middle-aged white women. They almost all seemed legitimately deranged in a way that would be an emergency if it were a scary street person with the same exact mental illness. But because she’s just some jagoff’s soft-headed wife she was somehow less likely to stab you for no reason and then run into the woods and never be seen again.

Anyway, I once repeated this fact to a group of random customers when I said “the worst customers we have are rich, middle-aged white women”. These customers were white, and I realized as the words came out of my mouth that they were probably rich, but they were young and perhaps more sheltered than I realized (living in Portland and being a bit of a “Mission Hill” type of guy can sometimes trick you into thinking that everyone you speak to as ironically detached as you are and can handle combative statements and accept them as jocular). They reacted with absolute shock. Like, the concept of “white people are seen as villains of the world by non-whites and maybe they have good reasons for this” had never EVER crossed their minds. If you think about it, I’m basically exactly like Martin Luther King.

That’s basically what this episode is about in some sense. The Freeman family are blacks living in a predominately white suburb. They live a comfortable existence, and they know this and discuss it in the episode. They are invited to a neighborhood garden party, where Huey intends to live out his fantasy of telling whitey what’s what. He fails to recreate the scene he dreamed about. This is when he learns an important lesson about the rich: they don’t worry about stuff in general. They’re rich. Nothing will change that.

There are some really funny ideas and lines in this whole episode, more than I’ve noted in other Boondocks episodes that I’ve been more lukewarm on. The scene where grandad is seen participating in 60s race riots but bringing a rain coat because he didn’t wanna get soaked by firehoses is funny. The kids saying ni-- AH! you almost tricked me into saying it!!! anyway, the kids are funny and boy do they got mouths on them. Ed Asner is in this and he’s wonderful as the somewhat-obnoxious but not actively bigoted rich white guy who grandad befriends. He has a son voiced by Charlie Murphy, who plays the character like a wi-- Uh, I better not. He has some great lines too.

I don’t know about what HBOMax is doing, but the DVD has the show uncensored, including full frontal grandpa dick, as he does a strenuous workout to a Billy Blanks infomercial (but not the actual tape). Also, really funny. The DVD also has a lot of deleted scenes and commentaries and stuff. They are VIDEO commentaries, even. A thing I learned: the opening sequence was supposed to be a Star-Wars related dream, and the animation came back so shitty that they changed it entirely. They got George Lucas to sign off on it. I always wondered about the “officialness” of certain Star Wars parodies. Remember when there seemed to be a LOT of them, between the Family Guy and the Robot Chicken ones? I always thought that Lucasfilm actually reached out to various shows and specifically requested those be made to protect Star Wars status as a fully relevant brand even when there weren’t new movies coming out. Or could it be as simple as the Seths having a steam together after a Family Guy table read and one saying to the other “dude, Lucas will let you parody his movies and do swears! He says he likes it! YOU should do one! Imagine how easy it’ll be to write!” I wonder about it.

Anyway, I loved this episode. I should’ve been more fair to this show. Best of all, it’s not Stroker & Hoop.

EPHEMERA CORNER:

Wow I didn’t realize until your Gigantor writeup that the TV Funhouse “Torboto” short was a parody. Good to know!

I was blissfully unaware of Torboto! I really need to go through all the TV Funhouses, there’s a lot I haven’t seen, I think. Honestly really important 90s animated comedy. Should be respected more. Conspiracy Theroy Rock goes hard

Wasn’t looking hard enough, the ideologies of communism played a major role in the lives of Malcom X, Angela Davis, BBP, ABB, and Claude McKay. The act of believing in these ideologies and associating with people that do was war to the “American system”. Her personal and profession life would be soon haunted by this fired from UCSD and becoming FBI’s Most Wanted in 1970. Accused of assisting in a attempted escape from a courthouse where four were killed including a judge. She was not on the scene and acquitted 18 months later. In prison she wrote “If They Come In The Morning: Voices of Resistance”her first book.

She later ran as Vice President on the communist ticket in 1980 and 1984 but later gave up communism. Co-founding Committees of Correspondence and speaking against war, racism, sexism, prison industry and many other social justice movements.

"Jesus said to the crowds, “When you see a cloud rising in the west you say immediately that it is going to rain —and so it does; and when you notice that the wind is blowing from the south you say that it is going to be hot—and so it is. You hypocrites! You know how to ­interpret the appearance of the earth and the sky; why do you not know how to interpret the present time?" (Luke 12: 54.... 59).

Friday 22nd October 2021, in the 29th Week in Ordinary Time is the feast of of our beloved Pope St John Paul II. (1920 - 2005). Polish. First non-Italian Pope in 455 years. Beatified May 1, 2011 and canonized April 27, 2014. Accomplished writer. He traveled all over the world to promote understanding between nations and between different cultures and religions. He and President Ronald Regan contributed to the peaceful dissolution of the Soviet Union in 1991.

John Paul II wrote many important encyclicals. His enduring legacy is the Catechism of the Catholic Church which he promulgated in 1992.

In our key Scripture, Jesus reproached the crowd for being able to predict the coming of storms, tornados and hurricanes and failing to see the more important signs of the times. What are the Signs of the Times? The following historical events can be listed as examples of Signs of the Times:

1. Founding of the USA.

2. Ending of Slavery.

3. Apparition of the Blessed Virgin Mary in Fatima.

4. World War II.

5. The Papacy of John Paul II.

6. The Resignation of Pope Benedict XVI.

7. The Dissolution of the Soviet Union.

8. The Corona Virus Pandemics.

All that is required to know the Signs of the Times is Faith. Faith that God is the Author of history. He is the Alpha and Omega of history. You do not need a high school diploma or PhD to read and interpret the signs of history. Jesus asked:

“Why do you not judge for yourselves what is right?"

Pope St John Paul II is adept in reading the Signs of the Times as you can see when you read his biography. The Devil did not like this. He got him shot in Rome and caused him to suffer a lot. The Blessed Mother saved his life.

"My bishops, too, must give the example of a personal devotion to My Mother’s Rosary. Let them look at the example given, in this regard, by My servant Pope John Paul II. The desire of My Heart is that every bishop should live in the intimacy of My most pure Mother, and learn the meaning of belonging entirely to her, Totus tuus." (IN SINU JESU, January 10, 2008 Thursday Hour of Adoration and Reparation).

mitch mcconnell is the devil reincarnated from ronald regan

[beyonceisstraight]

“and ronald regan was the devil”

“...you are such an articulate young man”

[topworldhistory]

The Exorcist, The Conjuring and other horror classics were inspired by actual (although not always factual) stories.

How do you make a horror tale scarier? Just say it’s “based on a true story.” That’s a technique book publishers and movie producers have been using for decades, whether or not the supposedly “true story” adds up.

Some movies are inspired by what might be called “real hoaxes”—made-up stories that people have believed. Others draw inspiration from unexplained behavior or folklore. Read about how the story of a troubled teen inspired a movie about demon possession, how a series of hoaxes launched a major movie franchise and how centuries-old folklore about disease gave way to a classic Hollywood villain.

Nosferatu (1922)

Actor Max Schreck in the 1922 film Nosferatu.

The 1922 German film Nosferatu: A Symphony of Horror is basically an unauthorized knock-off of Bram Stoker’s 1897 novel Dracula. The filmmakers couldn’t get permission from the late Stoker’s estate to adapt the book, so they made certain changes. Instead of Count Dracula, the main villain is Count Orlok.

Copyright drama aside, stories of undead beings feeding off the living have been around a lot longer than Stoker’s novel. The modern idea of vampires likely evolved from old European folk beliefs. Before people understood how diseases spread, vampirism may have been a way to explain deaths from the plague, tuberculosis and other unseen maladies that ravaged communities. Different regions had different ways of stopping vampires. In Romania, one remedy was to cut out the heart of a suspected vampire (i.e., a cadaver) and burn it to ashes.

Some have speculated Stoker’s Dracula was based on Vlad the Impaler, aka Vlad III Dracula, a 15th-century ruler of Wallachia in Romania. In Stoker’s research notes for Dracula, he recorded that “dracula” means “devil” in the Wallachian language. However, scholars suspect he appropriated the name without knowing very much about Vlad. In any case, there was already a lot of vampire fiction by then: Lord Byron’s epic poem The Giaour (1813), the penny dreadful Varney the Vampire (1847) and the lesbian vampire novel Carmilla (1872), to name a few.

The Exorcist (1973)

Linda Blair as Regan MacNeil in the 1973 film The Exorcist.

In August 1949, The Washington Post ran at least two stories about a 14-year-old boy’s exorcism in Maryland. In one, the newspaper reported, “the boy broke into a violent tantrum of screaming, cursing and voicing of Latin phrases—a language he had never studied.” The story inspired author William Peter Blatty’s 1971 novel The Exorcist, the basis for the 1973 film in which a young Linda Blair projectile-vomits pea soup.

In reality, the boy who inspired Blair’s character was probably troubled, not possessed. A Marylander named Mark Opsasnick who didn’t buy the story investigated it and published his findings in Strange Magazine in 1999. Opsasnick identified the boy in the story and interviewed people who’d known him (though he did not release the boy’s name), and concluded the boy likely had psychological problems and was mimicking the priest’s Latin.

In an interview with The Washington Post in 1999, Opsasnick acknowledged that although he was fascinated by his discovery, few other people would probably care. And indeed, when the Post reached out to a man who lived next door to the house where the exorcism had supposedly taken place, he replied, “I don't really care about that.”

The Amityville Horror (1979)

View of the home of Ronald DeFeo Jr where he shot and killed his parents, two sisters and two brothers on November 14, 1974.

On November 13, 1974, 23-year-old Ronald “Butch” DeFeo Jr. murdered his entire family in their sleep. One year later, the Lutz family purchased the house in Amityville, New York where the horror took place. 

Parents George and Kathy Lutz then claimed they experienced shocking paranormal phenomena in the house: green slime oozing from the walls, a creature with red eyes and multiple family members levitating in their beds. The claims appeared in Jay Anson’s 1977 book The Amityville Horror, which inspired the 1979 movie of the same title, which inspired many more movies.

Butch DeFeo’s lawyer later admitted that he, George and Kathy had “created this horror story over many bottles of wine.” Even so, the tale raised the profile of Ed and Lorriane Warren, a couple who got involved with the Amityville story and helped promote it.

“They set themselves up as psychics and clairvoyants who investigate ghosts and hauntings,” says Benjamin Radford, deputy editor of Skeptical Inquirer magazine. “They would hear about stories either in the news or just sort of through the grapevine, and they would sort of introduce themselves into the story.” But more on them later.

The Serpent and the Rainbow (1988)

Bill Pullman in the 1988 film The Serpent and the Rainbow.

In 1985, a white American graduate student named Wade Davis published a book with an extremely long title: The Serpent and the Rainbow: A Harvard Scientist's Astonishing Journey into the Secret Societies of Haitian Voodoo, Zombies, and Magic.

In it, Davis claimed he’d discovered that secret Haitian societies used tetrodotoxin, a toxin found in puffer fish, to trick people into thinking they’d died and come back to life as zombies from Haitian folklore. Many other scientists denounced Davis’ claim as bunk, including tetrodotoxin expert C.Y. Kao, who called it “a carefully planned, premeditated case of scientific fraud.”

The story grabbed the attention of horror filmmaker Wes Craven, who adapted the book into the 1988 film The Serpent and the Rainbow starring Bill Pullman as a Harvard researcher based on Davis. Writing in a 1989 issue of Latin American Anthropology Review, anthropologist Robert Lawless seemed to consider this fitting, since the book already read “like the first draft for a Hollywood movie with Davis himself as an Indiana-Jones-type hero.”

The Haunting in Connecticut (2009)

American ghost hunters Lorraine and Ed Warren, 1980. 

Remember Ed and Lorraine Warren, the ghost hunters from Amityville? A decade after Amityville, they became involved with the Snedeker family. Parents Allen and Carmen Snedeker claimed they’d experienced paranormal phenomena at the Connecticut house they rented in 1986. Most shockingly, both parents claimed demons had raped them.

“Part of the modus operandi of the Warrens was to solicit help in publicizing these stories,” Radford explains. The Warrens hired a horror novelist named Ray Garton to write a book about the Snedekers’ haunting, but Garton soon “realized that a lot of the information wasn’t making sense," Radford says.

Garton objected to his publisher’s decision to sell the 1992 book In a Dark Place: The Story of a True Haunting as non-fiction, and admitted the story wasn’t true. In 2009, a movie inspired by the Snedeker case called The Haunting in Connecticut came out. “I suspect the movie will begin with the words: ‘Based on a true story,’” Garton told Horror Bound magazine at the time. “Be warned: Just about anything that begins with any variation of this phrase is trying a little too hard to convince you of something that probably isn't true.”

The Conjuring (2013), et al.

Vera Farmiga and Patrick Wilson as Lorraine and Ed Warren in The Conjuring.

Ed and Lorriane Warren promoted so many hauntings during their decades-long careers that they became horror movie characters themselves. Actors Patrick Wilson and Vera Farmiga have portrayed the couple in The Conjuring (2013), The Conjuring 2 (2016), The Nun (2018) and Annabelle Comes Home (2019), and will appear again in The Conjuring 3 (2020).

The first Conjuring movie is about the Perron family, who claimed in the early 1970s that spirits were haunting their Rhode Island house. The film also references a previous Warren case about a supposedly haunted doll, which inspired the spin-off movies Annabelle (2014), Annabelle: Creation (2017) and Annabelle Comes Home. The second Conjuring opens with the Amityville haunting, then moves on to the Warrens’ involvement with the Enfield poltergeist outside London in the late ‘70s. This sequel also features a demon nun inspired by a spirit Lorraine claimed had haunted her home (this led to the spin-off The Nun).

“It’s not a bunch of fairy tales,” Ed Warren told Connecticut Magazine in the early 1970s. “Everyone has experienced one form of supernatural activity or another.” 

The Conjuring 3 will likely focus on a 1981 manslaughter trial in which the defendant Arne Cheyenne Johnson claimed he was innocent because he was possessed by the devil at the time of the crime. The Warrens testified in Johnson’s defense, but the jury didn’t buy it, and returned a guilty verdict.

A tenner of Disap detailment \nFrom oecumenical wars to the re tender uniting of the race, the social, political, economic, and trans content cores of the united States perpetually attend to be downstairs a state of change. one rattling imperative sentence in the Statess impertinents report was the 1980 decade, this was a very uncongenial and displeasure up to(p) period.

The innovation and Disastrous Explosion \nC. Ronald Reagans Announcement and The Aftermath \nIV. The Beginning of the AIDS Epidemic is the around Significant \n\nConclusion \n\nA Decade of Disappointment \nFrom worldwide wars to the reuniting of the nation, the social, political, economic, and international events of the United States always seem to be under a state of change. One very imperative time in Americas history was the eighties decade, this was a very offensive and displeasure able time. From the dis covery of AIDS to an all out boycott of the Olympics by the United States and Russia, and a national tragedy caused by the piazza-shuttle Challenger disaster, these societal events caused major changes to millions of people spread over many nations. The prominence of AIDS was the unspoiled about socially strong event of the 1980s as this lethal virus is still a massive problem, non serious in the United Sates, scarce across the entire globe. \nIn 1981 doctors in novel York and San Francisco began to have male patients that had begun to fall in r are opportunistic infections and cancers. These diseases were non modify by give-and-take and the patients seemed to have a commons link, a common source condition. This condition is at present k in a flash as AIDS or Acquired Immune Deficiency Syndrome tho would not be named until 1983 by Science magazine (Institute Pasteur). barely it would take devil much(prenominal) long time for this to occur and much and to a und ischargeder extent patients that suffered from what would normally be considered cope able or treatable as s tending by Charlie Dauguet the head of the electron microscopic in the viral Oncology unit at the institute (Institute Pasteur). Advancements came as quickly as practical, as by 1985 in that respect was a commercialized test come out out that could detect the virus in the blood of a patient. They a exchangeable discovered that lymphocytes, or w walk oute blood cells, are the main victims by the virus. tho other prejudiced root word came about, as it would be cognise as a sunny syndrome because of its prevalence in pederastic men. This was for a time genuinely not true as it was initially found in homosexuals yet would soon be more(prenominal) prevalent in hospital patients or dose addicts. A wide trammel in AIDS ken, treatment, and bar has come in the become 20 grades with modern experiments growing a possible cure closer and closer. An AIDS test can now be interpreted by a simple gum tree swab and the results of that test would be ready in a week, rather than the possible devil moths of waiting in the 80s. as well as there are in the buff medications that can be taken to prevent the progression of human immunodeficiency virus or Human Immunodeficiency computer virus to AIDS. Although this seemed to be a broad problem four years prior an international brawl occurred between two of the most powerful nations in the world. \nThe 1980 Olympics were stiff to be a huge event in Russia, besides because of advancements made by Russia into Afghanistan, the United States athletes would not be able to compete. This would only create more tension between the two power countries at the affectionateness of the Cold War, persistent from 1945 to 1991, and now not only bring political but social disagreements into the proverbial mix. This all began because of the uniform desire to expand, and the Soviet wedding was no exception. In the mid to late 1970s the Soviet Union had began to give aid to Afghanistan to help build its culture, economy, and get together the country as one. and the soviets had other agenda; they valued to spread their influences across Asia but to predominantly spread communism. socialism had been starting to fall in popularity throughout the Soviet Union because the Soviet army was not supporting it, but it would assume the test of time. scarce there was a protest in the Afghan capital of Kabul, and in 1979 the Soviet Union invaded Afghanistan. A year later(prenominal) the Olympic games were to be set in the Soviet capital of capital of the Russian Federation. chairman Carter had decided the decision had to be made to make a stand; he called for the Moscow games to be moved to another location. President Carter asked the International Olympic Committee to move them earlier to Greece. And at one point President Carter relesed this statement saying, I pointed out ... that continue d belligerent actions by the Soviets would endanger the association of athletes and travel to Moscow by spectators(Lorch). The Soviet Union did at long last pull out of Afghanistan but not without inner(a) discord. plainly four years later there was to be another international conflict from the actions taken by the US and the Soviet Union. The 1984 Olympics were set to be Los Angeles and in response the Soviet Union boycotted these Olympics. exclusively what was most juiceless was the year the soviets boycotted was the year mainland China decided to return to the Olympics subsequently a thirty-two year absence (Olympic). After these events incomplete the Soviet Union nor the US has boycotted another Olympic games. But besides international clashes create the 1980s to be not the most desirable time, but a huge internal event took place create an entire nation to mourn. \nThe stem of putting people into berth became more and more true to life(predicate) as the century pr ogressed. On October 1, 1958 the National Aeronautics and Space Administration or NASA was created to help win the carry into shoes. Although America did not win the race for put, by an amazing twenty-three days, an American was the initiatory to amount foot on the moon. The space adventures continued without impediment until January 28, 1986, a day that was to be historied especially for teachers, as the number 1 teacher was to go into space. But tragically as the space shuttle Challenger took off and as millions watched on exist TV and at the pallium Canaveral Airbase the shuttle exploded sidesplitting all seven crewmembers. On the evening of January 28, 1986 President Ronald Regan pay tribute to the astronauts, and said, We go awaying neer forget them, nor the last time we saw them this morning as they prepared for their journey and waved good day and slipped the surly bonds of earth to bring up the face of God. He also described this disastrous event as a national loss and he even postponed his State of The Union Address. The nation was in complete and express shock as these were the first people to die in space, and the reality set in that space was not just an exciting but a dangerous adventure (Darling, 387). This whitethorn have been a national disaster but there was something even more significant and still effects millions. \nThe epidemic discovered in the 1980s has caused the finishs of tens of millions of people worldwide and is therefrom the most significant event to occur during the 1980s. Thank bountifuly advancements awareness and organizations help keep the death bell down as much as possible. until now though it is an increasing problem in the United Sates, Africa is the hardest hit by AIDS. Five gibibyte die everyday just in Africa and even more are diagnosed with the virus, and just as many children are divest because of this terrible disease. Nearly football team million have been divest and the death toll will soon reach twenty million (Cefrey, 37-38). But because of new medications and treatment this death toll is increasing at a slower pace. Although these medications are very expensive and are not readily available, especially where it is most needed, in Africa. Twenty million people suffer from AIDS in Africa and that will just be passed on the adjacent generation if prevention cannot be implemented quickly and effectively. hopefully the next generation will not be soft on(p) with this terrible virus. \nThe 1980s handle any decade had great times, but it overwhelmingly had its dole out of bad times. International events like the Olympic boycotts of 1980 and 1984 and the begging of the AIDS epidemic caused social shed light on and a possible hostile situation. Within the United States the space shuttle Challenger disaster caused a time of lament and awareness for all US citizens and for all other space bound countries.
