Thoughts at 7pm...

I tag my books in Calibre with people and places and things I think will come up again and again across books. 

This can be a slow and agonizing process, but I find that I keep coming back to it over and over again, because I’ll read a book years later that mentions a battle on Hill 488 and think... fuck, what book was it that I read about that from someone else’s perspective?!!?!? 

Tags help with that. 

I don’t tag everything, or everyone... just stuff I have a feeling will come up over and over, and yet for a single book I’ll end up with this:

Description: 

  The leader of one of the most successful U. S. Marine long range reconnaissance teams during the Vietnam War, Andrew Finlayson recounts his team's experiences in the year leading up to the Tet Offensive of 1968. Using primary sources, such as Marine Corps unit histories and his own weekly letters home, he presents a highly personal account of the dangerous missions conducted by this team of young Marines as they searched for North Vietnamese Army and Viet Cong units in such dangerous locales as Elephant Valley, the Enchanted Forest, Charlie Ridge, Happy Valley and the Que Son Mountains.   In numerous close contacts with the enemy, the team (code-name Killer Kane) fights for its survival against desperate odds, narrowly escaping death time and again. The book gives vivid descriptions of the life of recon Marines when they are not on patrol, the beauty of the landscape they traverse, and several of the author's Vietnamese friends. It also explains in detail the preparations for, and the conduct of, a successful long range reconnaissance patrol.

Review: 

Finlayson has a very particular point of view on the war, and warfare. Throughout the book, he is constantly made aware that his actions and behaviors are both dangerous and obsessive. Yet, even though he acknowledges it, and says he takes it to heart, he still has the narcissistic bent to ignore them and feel that his way is the right way. 

That’s both a positive and a negative.

His teams brought the war to the enemy and were immensely productive as far as kills and intelligence gathered. At the same time, they were in many ways reckless and dangerous. 

God loves a fool and who dares wins are basically how he operates.

Overall though, the book gives you great insight into HIS way of running recon teams, and how Team Killer Kane/Swift Scout operated, the gear they took, the places they operated in, and who the people were. His writing style is quick paced and gives you a good sense of his thoughts and emotions and allows you to understand where his head was at and what he experienced.

While there were a few errors, especially in regards to keeping track of a persons rank (one page they’re corporal, next they’re a sergeant), and the weapons (carrying my m-14, and had 5 magazines of 5.56mm), the book is well done.

I would never say I expected more from Arkansas Republican Senator Tom Cotton, as that would have required me to expect anything good from him. But I still found myself surprised when he referred to the Columbia University protests against Israel’s war on Gaza as a form of “pogroms.”

Nor did I expect more from The Wall Street Journal, which ran an op-ed arguing that Hamas and Hezbollah are “working with and grooming” pro-Palestine activists. Nor from Benjamin Netanyahu, who compared the campus protests to Nazi Germany. Nor from House Speaker Mike Johnson or Anti-Defamation League President Jonathan Greenblatt, both of whom called for the National Guard to be sent to Columbia.

Yet I have been consistently taken aback at just how ridiculous these and other claims from the media and politicians about the growing pro-Palestine movement have become recently.

Politicians and the mainstream media outlets that support them are consistently simplistic in their analyses, or flat-out wrong, or, well, stupid. But over the last few weeks, it feels like the stupidity has ramped up to a level previously unreached—a level that can no longer be described as misinterpretation or obfuscation or spin, but rather as a complete detachment from reality.

And this condition of near-psychosis appears to be spreading. It’s not just the far-right that’s responding to largely peaceful protests with extreme rhetoric and action. College administrations have sent in police in riot gear to arrest peacefully demonstrating students and faculty, suspended or expelled students, canceled graduations, and even hastily barricaded their campuses with plywood in a fashion that feels both barbaric and Wile-E.-Coyote-esque.

To understand this state of unreality, it’s important to understand that the United States and the elite media are nearly always, to some extent, in a state of unreality. We’ve known this for a while. Noam Chomsky and Edward S. Herman outlined the process by which Americans become unwilling or unable to confront the violence endemic in American life (whether the violence of US-backed wars in other countries or the violence of corporate-backed plutocracy at home) way back in 1988.

As they argued in Manufacturing Consent, a crucial step toward enabling war is the creation of groups of worthy and unworthy victims. Chomsky and Herman were writing about Vietnam and the lack of attention paid to the millions killed in that failed war, but the same is happening today.

Since October 7, politicians and leading media outlets have made it clear, over and over again, that they consider Israeli lives to be worthier than Palestinian ones. Now, the media’s relentless focus on Columbia and other college campuses is proof in itself that it cares, and, crucially, wants us to care, more about any perceived victims of the protests in the US (even if their victimization consists of not being able to teach a class on classical music as they’d prefer), especially if they are from elite institutions, than they do about the lives of Palestinians.

This distorted reality enabled by the media—in which the supposed dangers of student organizing get significantly more coverage than the thing the protests are actually about—partially explains the unhinged reactions of the last few weeks. If one consumes only mainstream US media, one gets a very hysterical version of reality. It’s the same reason Americans think crime is going up all the time even as it falls to historic lows. Feeling constantly under threat, while ignoring people who actually are constantly under threat, is a time-honored, mass-media-enabled, American tradition.

But, in a way, the propaganda model does not give the hysterics in this case enough credit. The average Fox News watcher can perhaps be excused for their histrionic view of the world, but American senators and presidents and highly educated op-ed page writers and university administrators should know better. And, of course, they do!

This is why it might be more useful to see their delusional rhetoric as not only a form of propagandistic misdirection but also a tool of linguistic power and control. By reframing disagreement and protest and discomfort as violence, those in power get to play victim, and thus feel righteous in their use of, or support for, actual violence—whether that’s the bombardment of Gaza or the brutality inflicted on US college students.

As Sarah Schulman brilliantly argues in her 2016 book Conflict Is Not Abuse, this strategy has been used for ages by those with privilege to hide their power over, and fear of, those they oppress. We can see it in, for example, the rape accusations leveled against Black men by white women that led to lynchings.

“Sometimes, when we are upset, we pretend or convince ourselves that Conflict is actually not only Abuse, but a crime,” Schulman writes. “When we have nowhere to go but inside ourselves, and when that self that we inhabit is convinced that it cannot bear to be seen, we call the police.”

And, as Schulman notes, this strategy has been perfected in the case of Israel, which has consistently used the legitimate generational trauma of the Holocaust and the legitimate fear of continued antisemitism as a way to obfuscate and justify violence against Palestinians.

This goes a long way toward explaining why it’s almost become a knee-jerk response these days for politicians to accuse any and everyone they disagree with of antisemitism—they’ve learned that creating victimization allows them to justify their actions.

The problem, though, is that this strategy creates endless escalation. As I’ve written before, the constant invocation of the fear of being victimized leads to a kind of trauma arms race, with everyone trying to one-up each other to be the ultimate victim, and thus the person who has the ultimate power or justification for whatever action they choose. And we can see this happening now.

That’s why everything is starting to feel so detached from reality. There has been runaway inflation in the rhetoric of victimization to the point that it is no longer enough to say you feel scared—you must compare students in tents to pogroms, even as you surround those students with hundreds of police holding deadly weapons.

Because of this endless escalation, the strategy eventually stops working. It may have been enough several years ago to use the shield of “be scared of Hamas” or “be scared of antisemitism” or “be scared your child cannot learn about macroeconomics without hearing faint chants from the quad,” but now it has become patently obvious to many that the reality politicians and the media are attempting to create is not our actual reality—both because the rhetoric has gotten too extreme and obviously false, and because the real reality has become so violent and thus that much harder to ignore or hide.

The gap between the two has grown too large to hold.

That’s why public opinion has shifted so dramatically on Israel in the last few months. That’s why these protests are cropping up everywhere—because the rhetoric of distraction and false victimization is no longer working. Which, in a way, is great news. More and more Americans are seeing through the consensus reality we’ve been taught for so long.

The problem, though, is what comes after: if politicians and the media can no longer subdue people with rhetoric, then it becomes time for other methods of control. And, as we ‘ve seen from the last week, it’s obvious we’ve already moved into that new phase. Language, twisted and inflated and misused for so long, is now an inadequate tool of domination. So it becomes time to send in the cops.

The Tuskegee Airmen were a group of African-American and Caribbean-born military pilots who fought in WWII. They formed the 332nd Fighter Group and the 477th Bombardment Group of the Army Air Forces. The name applies to the navigators, bombardiers, mechanics, instructors, crew chiefs, nurses, cooks, and other support personnel.

All African American military pilots who trained in the US trained at Moton Field, the Tuskegee Army Air Field, and were educated at Tuskegee University. The group included five Haitians from the Haitian Air Force and one pilot from Trinidad. It included a Hispanic or Latino airman born in the Dominican Republic.

March 22, 1942 - The first five cadets graduate from the Tuskegee Flying School: Captain Benjamin O. Davis, Jr. and Second Lieutenants Mac Ross,

Ah! The Metaluna Mutant! This beloved Universal Monster stands proudly alongside the classics such as Frankenstein’s monster, Dracula, and even the Creature from the Black Lagoon, while the film in which it is featured is often overlooked as being included as a Universal Monster movie. Regardless, it’s time for the Grue Crew to revisit this cherished 50s Sci-Fi landmark entry, This Island Earth (1955).  In the film, Rex Reason and Faith Domergue unwillingly follow high-browed, white-hair-domed alien Jeff Morrow to his distant home planet where they finally, in the last few minutes, encounter the Metaluna Mutant face-to-face. Fun, sometimes goofy, always entertaining, the film delivers! During the episode, the Classic Era crew debunk a Hollywood myth about the film and uncover some key behind-the-scenes contributions from the film’s crew. 

At the time of this writing, a stray copy of This Island Earth might be found streaming from Dailymotion or YouTube. The film is currently available on disc as a Blu-ray from Shout! Factory.

Gruesome Magazine’s Decades of Horror: The Classic Era records a new episode every two weeks. Up next in their very flexible schedule, as chosen by Jeff, is Isle of the Dead (1945), a Val Lewton RKO film with an Oscar-nominated director starring Boris Karloff! Beware the vorvolaka!

"Marijuana Trial of 5 Men Opens," Windsor Star. July 7, 1933. Page 5 & 6. ----- Mounties Tell Story of Sandwich West Raid; Seeds and Vegetable Matter Exhibits ==== The story of a raid by eight Royal Canadian Mounted Police officers on the premises of Michael Rainone in Sandwich West Township was related before Magistrate J. A. Hanrahan in the county police court Tuesday after-noon as trial got under way of five men charged with possession of marijuana.

The accused are, Michael Rainone. his son, Herman Rainone; Robert J. Bezaire, Ross W. Gray, and Julien Bolsmier. All five pleaded not guilty. Their defence counsel is Cecil R. Croll. W. E. Kelly, prosecutor for the Dominion Department of Justice, represents the Crown in the case. The trial will be resumed at 3 p.m. Thursday.

OFFICER EXHIBITS SEEDS Highlight of the opening day of the trial was the submission of evidence in the form of seeds and vegetable matter by Sergeant G. R. Johnson, R.C.MP. of Toronto, who for the past seven years has devoted his en-tire time to investigation of plants under the Narcotic Drug Act.

One exhibit was a green tin bread-box tied with a cord sealed by red sealing wax which Sgt. Johnson said he found in Rainone's house, located 140 feet south of Tecumseh road near Rankin avenue. It contained a multitude of seeds and vegetation which "gave off a terrible stench" when he opened it at the time of the raid, the Mounted Police officer testified.

Constable Cyril A. Lazelle identified a red tin can formerly used as a tobacco tin, which he said was found containing green vegetation substance on the warming closet of the cook stove in the Rainone kitchen.

"SPICES FOR SPAGHETTI" He testified that Constable William S. Ramsay remarked, "You are in the business," and that Michael Rainone replied, "That is what you think, but it is only spices for the making of spaghetti."

Rainone, a ruddy faced man with greying hair, sat stolidly in the prisoner's box with a bored look on his face during the testimony. Of the four other accused, Bezaire is the eldest although a young man, and the others are youths. These showed a lively interest in the testimony. According to witnesses all were making their home in Rainone's house, a two room shack with an upper floor reached by a ladder through a hole in the kitchen ceiling.

In cross-examining witnesses, Mr. Croll sought to emphasize the confusions and extreme disorder of the premises, pointing out that there was a little of everything on the place, Sgt. Johnson, however, maintained, that although the interior of the house was ill-kept there was not a great amount of disorder indoors.

A series of sealed packages containing what Sgt. Johnson described as seeds and green leaf substances were filed as exhibits. The material in the packages was gathered by different members of the raiding party in their search of the premises, Sgt. Johnson stated. TOBACCO AND CHAFF Sgt. Johnson identified the property of Michael Rainone, a light brown overcoat a pocket of which he said contained tobacco and green leaf chaff. When a fin was found containing ground up leaves on top of the stove, Mr. Johnson said he arrested Michael Rainone for possession of marijuana.

When he arrived at the premises, Sgt. Johnson said Michael Rainone was the only one of the accused there, but there were two women, one a girl just over 16 years, sitting on a chesterfield in the living room. The raiding party was at the place somewhat over two and a half hours, he said, and during that time all the accused except Bolsmier arrived at the house and were placed under arrest. The witness said that the first time he had seen Boismier was in the courtroom. Bezaire arrived 20 minutes after the officers had arrived. Gray about an hour later and then Herman Rainone arrived on the scene. Herman was questioned by Sergeant R. L. Woodhouse, Sgt. Johnson stated.

BOX IN LIVING ROOM The green box, from which a foul odor had issued when opened, the witness said, was found on the floor of the living room between the chesterfield and a radio.

Sgt, Johnson, under cross-examination by Mr. Croll, said that there was a great deal of filth such as rotting manure in the yard, but some semblance of home-like things in the house, such as ornaments atop the chest drawers.

In conversation with Michael Rainone, Sgt. Johnson testified that the accused told him "he collected bread and cigaret butts from restaurants." "That's a new one on me," ejaculated Mr. Croll.

OTHER WITNESSES William Taylor, a bus driver for the S. W. & A. Railway Company, who owns a home on Tecumseh road near the Rainone house, testified that he had known Rainone and his son for some time and that to the best of his knowledge Bezaire and Gray lived at the Rainone shack. He wasn't sure whether Boismier also lived there but said he had seen him frequently about the place. Mr. Taylor said that Rainone had cultivated his land last year and had started cultivation this year.

Edward E. Beals, a real estate man who said he owned 3,000 lots in Sandwich West, testified to the purchase of the property by Rainone. Thomas Green, registrar of deeds for Essex County, testified to the ownership of two lots by Michael Rainone at the scene where the raid took place, that Rainone was the registered owner and had acquired title in 1941. A. W.Spurgeon, photographer, identified numerous photographs he had taken of the house and property for the R.C.M.P.

The raid was conducted on June 12 by the R.C.M.P. officers headed by Staff Sergeant A. W. Anderson. Officers who took part in the raid, who have yet to testify in the trial, include Corporal Woodhouse, Constable Ramsay, Constable Roy S. McLeod, Constable Randall B. Hara, Constable B.Murray Lamb and Mr. Anderson.

The charges now being heard are a follow-up on the arrest and conviction of J. L. Brooks, of Victoria boulevard, Sandwich West, for the sale of marijuana. He was sentenced to three years in the Kingston penitentiary and fined $900.

Ry Cooder - Down in Hollywood

[hip-pouch]

Random hcs about the dbd killers (most are about their preference in physical appearance):

--------------------------------------------------------

The Trapper || Evan MacMillan: I don't think he would have a preference in physical appearance, but he would like a feminine, traditional kind of s/o that looks at least presentable(and obedience would be a must) (i'm sorry but he comes from the 19xx era where the guy is the head figure of the house and all that traditional family shit)

The Wraith || Philip Ojomo: ok so hear me out, i know literally 99,99% of the fandom portrays him as a shy, awkward boi because oh he's invisible but imo i think he's more miserable than shy/reserved. Like he went through all that trauma, had his face melted while trying to kill one of the killing crews, had been tricked into killing so many people without him even knowing, then he snapped because of the horrible things he was made to do, killed his boss etc. I think he cloaks because he doesn't identify as the monster he was made to be. So, if he ever got the luck of finding an s/o, I think that in his misery he is way past the point of caring abt physical appearance, so his s/o could be a brown spot on a banana and he would still love them to no end. (pls just tell him he is not a monster and that he's pretty he needs it )

The Hillbilly || Max Thompson Jr. : Another traumatised boy, he screams of body positivity. As long as his s/o loves him and treats him like a normal human being he will see them as the most beautiful thing in the world.

The Nurse || Sally Smithson: she literally just wanted a domestic life filled with love ( and children!!) so she doesn't care about physical appearance that much.

The Shape || Michael Myers: He doesn't care at all about physical appearance. Like preference? What is that ? He lived most of his life locked away in a white room like ?? He loves his s/o because they keep his inner demons at bay and treat him like an actual human being, not "pure evil". The fact that they have a body is just a bonus ;)).

The Hag || Lisa Sherwood: Again, another miserable soul, she just wants to be loved and taken care of (plus I hc that she is self conscious af) so ber s/o could be anything (idk if that makes sense, like she is super acceptant of anything her s/o wants to be/ look)

The Doctor || Herman Carter: jail. This man is not mentally capable of love bye

The Huntress || Anna: yeah she loves little gi- Ok fr now, she would like someone small and fragile so she could take care of them. Doesn't care about the other aspects.

The Cannibal || Bubba Sawyer: Another one that screams of body positivity. He just wants an s/o to make him feel safe and loved (major bonus points if his s/o is stronk).

The Nightmare || Freddy Krueger: jail.

The Pig || Amanda Young: I don't think she's capable of love either. (sorry)

The Clown || Jeffrey Hawk: jail.

The Spirit || Rin Yamaoka: I feel like she would like someone strong, to make her feel safe (bonus points if they're taller too).

The Legion || Frank Morrison (because he's the only one that has somewhat of a lore): He is a horny teen, he would want his s/o to be hot and sexy. H o w e v e r, if we're talking about the friends to lovers trope (+ massive slow burn because of his trust issues), if his (future) s/o understands him and helps him deal with his sad past, if they assure him that they would never abandon him like his ex families did, lo and behold the ultimate simp frank. Wouldn't care about their looks, would do anything for them.

The Plague || Adiris: It says in her lore (besides her being pretty asf) that she was ashamed of her appearance after she got the infection, so i think she wouldn't care about her s/o's looks pretty much (she would consider them beautiful for having a healthy body in general) (but please call her beautiful she is beautiful she deserves and needs to hear that).

The Ghostface || Danny Johnson: His add on is a bottle of perfume, so you can imagine that he would want his s/o to be at least as good looking as him (he would still consider himself the prettier one, because narcissistic bitch). Again, h o w e v e r, if we go with the friends to lovers trope, where his s/o doesn't judge his little hobby and perhaps even finds it cool, he wouldn't mind the looks (he would pamper his s/o himself, even paint their nails because I KNOW THAT FUCKER WEARS BLACK NAIL POLISH AND IS EVEN GOOD AT APPLYING IT).

The Demogorgon: "The creature is untouched by any sense of compassion or restraint". So yeah.

The Oni || Kazan Yamaoka: He would deff want a pretty, feminine, obedient s/o (to stroke his strong man ego).

The Executioner || Pyramid Head (daddy-): He would keep s/o around to keep him company, not for the looks. MAJOR points if his s/o is more on the corpolent side tho, because he is a hulk of a man(?) and yeah big hands need a place to rest on you know ;))

The Trickster || Ji-Woon Hak: Twink.

Awh shoot, that was my ask 🤣 (ahwhshahk I don't remember much of it, but I'll try lol and no worries!) It was just me asking for some headcannons of a gremlin s/o celebrating the anniversary with Trapper, Danny, and Herman. Mostly me imagining how feral they are when they're on the hunt for the crowns and cakes.

my dumbass was tryna answer it i feel so dumb for deleting it

sorry this isn’t like my other ‘gremlin’ posts. i couldn’t really imagine anything weird they would say during the anniversary event

i hope you don’t mind if i only do evan and danny. i’m not feeling very motivated but i really felt like i had to get this out.

༒༒༒༒༒

Evan Macmillan:

He fears you at this time of year.

It’s not really intentional but you tend to be sort of bossy and that’s when he starts getting scared. Scared as in “I’m not really scared I just follow s/o’s orders to make them happy but deep inside i fear that they will eat me alive if i don’t listen to them”

If you both are in a trial together and you see him going for a crown that you want you just..

“EVAN MACMILLAN YOU GET YOUR ASS OFF THAT CROWN OR I WILL RAIN HELLFIRE UPON YOU-“

Yeah he’s already backing away the second you say his name.

Oh you see that bitch ass Freddy trying to get a crown? Smack the back of his head and dip with the crown before he realizes who just hit him-

I imagine you like hoarding crowns so there’s just one area of the Macmillan Estate that’s just has an entire stash of crowns there. Yes, they all belong to you. And yes, he did get them all for you. He doesn’t really question at this point, he just does what you ask.

And the second you find out about cakes? You turn f e r a l. Evan tries to take one of the cakes? A loud ass smack just echoes through the estate from how hard you just smacked that poor mans hand. “NO TOUCH”

“EVANEVANEVANEVANEVANEVAN-“

“What is it, you little shit?”

“I got some cake!!”

“I don’t think you should eat that. It’s got all that sugar and-“

“It’s not gonna get me hyper! Just watch! I’ll be perfectly fine.”

*sigh*

Your fellow survivor Dwight is minding his own business with a cake he found? I’ll just let the video explain what you do. Dwight is probably sobbing look at what you did to him.

Evan advises you to NOT steal cakes and ruin people’s time in this horrid place but he already knows you’re not gonna listen as you proceed to whole ass Usain Bolt to the next realm before he can even catch up with you.

He doesn’t really want to eat the cake, but he does want to keep it away from you. He knows you’ll eat every single cake you find and he knows that you’ll run to him because your stomach hurts. While he does like taking care of you, he doesn’t want to hear you whine about the darkness closing in for the next hour.

He absolutely loves when you run up to him with a crown floating above your head all excited because it’s literally floating and you’re just so amazed. He has to admit that it’s a bit adorable. He even shows you a special crown that he’s earned! It’s a deep red color with 4 slash marks and it’s dripping with blood. It looks really cool but he doesn’t want you wearing it since it’s the only one of its kind.

While you are a pain in the ass to deal with Evan does enjoy spending the Anniversary event with you. Maybe you can give him a kiss for all the hard work he’s done for you :))

Danny Johnson/The Ghostface:

You both are menaces to society

Every killer is a target, even the dangerous ones like Michael and Kazan. Yeah, you may die trying to steal from them, but the Entity will hopefully always bring you back. You both are very stubborn and annoying and won’t stop until y’all get the good shit.

In trials it really just depends on who gets to the crown first. If it’s you who does, you’re getting hooked immediately and will receive a “Fuck you.” from Danny. He’s kinda dumb so he doesn’t realize that the crown will come back-

I imagine the same goes for cakes but you both are willing to share after.

“This cake tastes like shit.”

“I spent 2 hours trying to steal it from that Myers bitch and you’re telling me that you don’t even want it?”

“Yea.”

When you do manage to find good cake, Danny isn’t stopping you. If you get sick, that’s all your fault. Yeah, he’ll make sure you’re resting and well because he cares for you, but expect him to literally bully you. I can only assume you do the same back if he tries.

“Dannyyyyyy!! I got you a present!”

“Huh? What is i-“

And you got him like 50 crowns lmao (he def forgave you for taking that other one from him earlier)

Some of the survivors try telling you that stealing from the killers is a horrible idea, and they’re right. That’s doesn’t stop you from trying anyways.

“You have been banned from the Mickey Mouse club for inappropriate behavior >:(“

“What does that even mean.”

“It means no more cake”

“WAIT NO”

I feel like when you find out all the cake is gone you literally smack tf outta him like it’s his fault and then you immediately console him a second later.

Danny probably is a shithead all day after what you did to him and he will not apologize. Well he’ll apologize if you give him a kiss but that’s it.

There’s probably some party the killers host and you guys are not invited because you’re both annoying and most of the killers don’t like y’all lmao. That’s okay though, you guys have each other, and you can still absolutely shit on the survivors with your antics.

[mara-xx217]

Misery loves company and this idea has been plaguing me for weeks so- just imagine the entity giving you a new outfit (you spawn into a match with it on) and it's just one of those dumb crop tops that says 'snap my choker'

*Inhales* Yeah, okay. That is fucking hilarious and should be in game 😂 I feel like some of the killer's would implode on sight if they saw such a thing, and other, well... they would just, you know, snap that choker? Have a one-word response from some of the killers to you!
