Who is merlot I want to know more
also your art is very cool :)
Merlot serves as my interpretation of the manager before Michael during FFPS, and as such is the one to undergo the Insanity Ending and... well, get lobotomized. But this veers off into Henry doing it himself and leaving him to rot in the back alley as opposed to under a safe medical setting. I love medical malpractice :)
Because of him finding out about the inner workings of Faz Ent and what lead them here, remnant, child strangling robots, etc, Vanessa (with Malhare's guidance) found an interest in him and essentially kidnapped him from the hospital once he was stable enough.
Another follower... if only he'd get over his foggy memories.
But from a more personal standpoint, he's just your typical mid 20s guy struggling to live paycheck to paycheck. This doesn't really change much once Vanny sweeps him up and they end up as roommates (:flushed:), but it does help to split the rent with someone else.
He's a nobody, only a victim of circumstance. Maybe if he had met Henry before he had already reached the end of his rope as a bitter old man, maybe it could've ended differently for them both.
After the lobotomy, he does inevitably regain bits and pieces of the memories he lost, but it'll never be the same. He lost so much of his early life all for the satisfaction of one man. Formerly a bubbly, easy going guy turned into nothing more than a husk to be trifled with by Vanessa as she pleases.
And his name is pronounced with the T, not silent as is the regular French pronunciation. He hates it :]

In my FNaF timeline, Charlie was killed after the five kids. Why am I doing it?
Because I love the idea of Henry Emily not being as innocent or good as he makes himself out to be.
And in my AU, not only did he purposely turn a blind eye to the first five murders but he went out of his way to sweep it under the rug.
It wasn't until William killed one of his children that he finally began to care.
But clearly not enough to fix all the problems that made Faz Ent a shady business or make any of the restaurants safe.
So his plan to free all the spirits and luring them in and burning them was doomed to fail.
Because his motivations are selfish and still lined up with his tendency to sweep all the horrible things that happened at the restaurants under the rug. He wanted to run away without facing actual consequences.
So the kids are still around, William is still around and Michael is still around.
But most importantly...
Henry himself is still around. Only this time, he has no choice but to face the music.
Also, he got so caught up in his mission that he neglected his wife and living child.

william has always shown his emotions very physically. this goes double for his positive emotions !! always humming whenever he's in a good mood, sweeping his wife off her feet in a dance to show his love, spinning his kids round when they were young just because it made them giggle and he couldn't help but laugh in return. he annoyed henry into adding custom dumb little songs to the diner just so he could perform them.
this doesn't change when he begins to lose himself either ! because of course i have to make this fucked up and sad like i do with everything i write ever. -- sometime after losing liz he found an old cassette tape he used to play when laughing with his children and when he rediscovers it, the house is almost never quiet. constantly playing, the only pause it takes is for him to reset and begin again - humming along whenever it's not playing. michael grew up in a house alive with music and emotion and then a house rotting with the corpses of both, and sometimes william will still dance, or play music, or seem just as animated as he had back then: but there's always an air of something wrong, something too tightly strung. movements not right, voice different. an overwound clock. there's just something so incredibly twisted and sad about william and dance and music to me ok

sweeps into the room and slicks back hair like an idiot.
Hi Silly, I have to ask you, Do you have any silly Michael headcanons (I want to sketch something on my sketch book but I'm dead) also also I can speak Arabic (<- Don't know what was the point of telling you that)
عندي امتحانات, و أنا قررت أرسم مايكل (غباء مطلق)
Translation because Ily:
I have exams, and I decided to draw Michael (<--Absolute stupid)
OH I HAVE A MILLION ANGEL
But they’re teen mike centered I hope that’s okay lol
1. He totally teaches his siblings things he can do even though he doesn’t like either of them. He just enjoys showing off. Usually that’s to Evan specifically. Usually like skipping rocks n stuff
2. He drums his fingers on things like counters n tables
3. Probably gives the most soul crushing hugs. Say goodbye to ur ribs
4. Constantly angry and uses his bullying to cc as an outlet
5. Probably also freaked out by the animatronics but in a “wow that thing is so freaky lol” way
6. He can skateboard but gets distracted easily and hurts himself
7. AUDHD and gay
8. Best friends with Charlie but she doesn’t like that he bullies cc so their relationship gets strained before she dies
9. Forgets to eat so much it’s an issue and William has to constantly remind him. He is just dumb like that
10. Loves going on late walks
11. Fav sport is soccer (but he calls it football because he’s British and it confuses everyone)
12. Wishes Henry was his dad instead

Some cops and the local drug lord try to intimidate Starr and her family. What everyone wants to know is: what really went down that night? And the only person alive who can answer that is Starr.
But what Starr does—or does not—say could upend her community. It could also endanger her life.

Okay, so i've been monitoring the poll trends for a while now and i've coke to some conclusions.
slowly but surely henry is, in fact, gaining more votes. a while ago, it was 60-40, and now it's about 56-44. slowly but surely, our diseased train boy is catching up! you can also see this behavior in bracket two as at first, just like henry, michael had the lead, but then spamton sweeped by! as of now, michael reclaimed the lead as more votes came in. polling activity sure is interesting.
the poll still has a LOT of time left for votes to come in! that's more time to spread propaganda! whether that's through tags or discord, or whatever. I noticed that on topdiseased's post that he did not tag ttte just henry the full name of ttte and something else. meanwhile, disco asylum has more general tags people would search for in that fandom. my point, just what i stated before. we need to spread henry around like a disease to people likely to vote for henry so we can sweep sweep sweep harry away.
also in events of henry going to the finals it's also important to vote in the second bracket for whoever you think would be weaker up against henry. this is all to ensure henry has the best chance of winning.
let the sweep continue! #henrysweep2k23 #he'scomingback! #he'spickingupspeed!

The Ghost and the Darkness (1996)
Tumblr media
How far true stories have fallen.  Nowadays, all we can get is some limp-dick “Inspired by True Events” followed by absolute nonsense.  With The Ghost and the Darkness, we get full-on voiceover from a character assuring us that this is 100% actual factual truth, hand on the Bible cross my heart and hope to die, stick a needle in my eye.  Now there’s ballsiness.  Do I believe it for an instant?  Of course not.  For one thing, I can only assume the real John Henry Patterson had a better Irish accent and less gleamingly white teeth.  So too does the film amp up the quasi-supernatural bent to the Tsavo Man-Eaters.  These cats are clever as hell, absolute psychopaths in their drive to kill and devour.  It never quite manages to be as terrifying as it would hope to be, and there are a few moments of unintentional comedy as the mayhem breaks out.  But still, there is thrill to be found in the increasingly desperate squad of hunters thwarted at every angle by these unknowable creatures.  It’s tantalizing how little can be nailed down about them.  Maasai hunters refuse to acknowledge the pair of lions as even lions, viewing them as demons whose thirst for blood will never be slaked.  Charles Remington experiences his own version of this fear and apprehension upon discovering the lions’ lair, shocked and baffled at the collection of skeletons so clashing with his experience with the animals.  This mystery, never fully elucidated, makes for the most engaging aspect of the film.
Not that the movie doesn’t try to dissuade the viewer from enjoying it at points.  A sweeping James Horner-esque score oppresses the experience at every turn, blasting outtakes from The Rocketeer or something every time any character bats an eye.  Equally bonkers is Michael Douglas’ turn as seasoned hunter Charles Remington.  While Val Kilmer is content to turn in a stiff performance, Douglas evidently decided that a cross between Colonel Sanders and Jack Nicholson was on order.  Remington appears and disappears something of an enigma, late to the show to arrive and dragged off by a lion offscreen at the end of it all.  While he served as both predator and prey for these Tsavo lions, perhaps he wasn’t so unlike them in that sense, if a fair bit nicer.
THE RULES
SIP
Someone names a country or continent.
Anyone says ‘bridge’.
Lion-o-Vision
The lions’ demonic nature is asserted.
BIG DRINK
John gives a false fun fact about animals.
Someone starts to read a letter aloud.

MICHAEL AFTON MUST WIN. HERES WHY:
BARBIE IS A BADDIE BUT SHE CAME TO TERMS W EVERYTHING IN THE MOVIE, MICHAEL NEVER GOT A PROPER CHANCE TO DO THAT INSTEAD HE CHOSE TO DIE IN THE FIRE THAT HENRY SET OFF
I mean sure u can argue his death was what that was, but he lived as a rotting corpse for YEARS, and was forced to continue on as a husk of the person he once was,, he was surrounded by animatronics his entire life only for his entire family to be taken by said animatronics and for those animatronics to use him for its own gain.
THEREFORE MICHAEL AFTON IS MORE SOGGY AND HAD MORE STRUGGLES W HIS HUMANITY
did not expect an essay as propaganda but YES GIRL!!! i hate pitting bad bitches against each other but here is MICHAEL SWEEP from anon

Big February Sweep…
Since we are in February, I don’t think we will get those unique Soap Opera February Sweep, such as Metro Court and Monkey Illness in GH. Since most of the major storylines had finished in January except for the Metro Court Shooter, Dex is working for Michael, Gregory’s illness, Tracy is still the owner of Deception, and Cory is Mac’s child. I don’t count whatever Drew and Carly’s plan against Nina because that needs a whole post on its own; I would have two major events going on at the same time to tie up those storylines and to have new storylines out. 
Half of the cast is at Sonny’s Place on the Island, and the other half is at the hospital. And the way I would break it down is: 
Character:
Sonny’s Place: TJ Ashford, Alexis Davis, Sam McCall, Danny Morgan, Scout Cain, Kristina Corinthos-Davis, Molly Lansing-Davis, Sonny Corinthos, Dante Falconeri, Rocco Falconeri, Carly Spencer, Josslyn Jacks, Michael Corinthos, Willow Tait, Wiley Corinthos, Amelia Corinthos, Donna Corinthos, Ava Jerome,  Avery Jerome-Corinthos, Damian Spinelli, Lois Cerullo, Brook Lynn Quartermaine, Olivia Falconeri, Leo Quarteramine, Laura Collins, Anna Devane, Drew Cain, Dex Heller, John Cate, Blaze, Diane Miller, Brick, Sasha Gilmore, Trina Robinson, Kevin Collins, Harrison Chase
Hospital: Marshall Ashford, Jordan Ashford, Curtis Ashford, Scott Baldwin, Lucy Coe, Valentin Cassadine, Charlotte Cassadine, Elizabeth Webber, Jake Webber, Aiden Webber, Maxie Jones, Felicia Scorpio, Georgie Spinelli, James West, Bailey Jones, Tracy Quartermaine, Ned Quartermaine, Robert Scorpio, Cody Bell, Nina Revees, Gregory Chase, Violet Finn, Hamilton Finn, Portia Robinson, Martin Grey, Cyrus Renault, Stella Henry, Brad Cooper, Selina Wu, Yuri, Amy Driscoll, Terry Randolph, Deanna Sirtis, Felix Dubuis, Monica Quartermaine
Events: 
Island - Michael and Willow want to have a huge first birthday for Amelia, and they decided not to have Nina or anyone related to her there. John and Anna join them as they know who the shooter is, and Dex realizes his secrets are coming out. Another shooting happens.
Hospital - Cyrus and Selina set a bomb during a fundraising at the hospital where everyone else is, and they think Sonny and his family were there. 
Characters that are Kill off: 
Island: Baby Lansing-Ashford, Blaze, Willow, Wiley, Donna, Olivia, Drew, Dex, Brick, Sasha, Molly, Damian
Hospital: Marshall, Lucy, Gregory, Cyrus, Finn, Amy, Bailey
Characters that go off-screen aftermath: 
Island: Michael & Amelia take a small break (I would recast Michael when they come back in six months); Leo goes to live with Grandma Falconeri; John finishes his case; Josslyn goes to visit Jax; Kristina takes a break and goes with Ric for awhile. 
Hospital: Violet goes back to Hayden as Jason knows where she is. Nina decides to visit NYC to check in on her family’s company. Cody goes to find Mac to tell him the truth. 
The ending of the storylines: 
Island: the Metro Court Shooter: Blaze is the older sister of Lila Rae, meaning she is Lozreno’s daughter, and it is their mob family who is behind it. Dex is working for Michael: Everything they did and who knew comes out, and he is actually working for the FBI. All of his backstory was a lie as he is Stone Cate Jr. 
Hospital: Gregory’s illness: He dies protecting Elizabeth’s boys, who have Violet with them. Tracy is still the owner of Deception: She overhears Maxie telling Ned who is injured and what his daughter is trying to do, and Tracy realizes that she watched Maxie grow up and this was her dream. Cody is Mac’s child: Robert, Felicia, and Cody are stuck together, and he tells them. 
Start of Storyline 
Island: Carly and Sonny lose their minds again with Jason returning; they are sent to a Mental Hospital, where we get a break from the characters. Sam asks Alexis to help her run Drew’s company for Scout, and she deals with Danny’s anger with Jason and everything that happens to them. Brooklyn and Chase's wedding is put on hold. TJ started having PTSD from losing his girl and baby. 
Hospital: Jason saves Elizabeth and Monica from Cyrus and tells them he has both memories. Elizabeth’s sons (all three of them) have daddy issues, and Elizabeth realizes she has both issues with her parents. While rebuilding the hospital, Elizabeth discovers that her family owns it. Terry realizes how understaffed the hospital is and starts looking for people. Maxie is asked to take over Crimson as well.

Goodreads Choice Awards 2023: Best Humor
Winner: Being Henry by Henry Winkler
Henry Winkler, launched into prominence by his role as “The Fonz” in the beloved Happy Days, has transcended the role that made him who he is. Brilliant, funny, and widely-regarded as the nicest man in Hollywood (though he would be the first to tell you that it’s simply not the case, he’s really just grateful to be here), Henry shares in this achingly vulnerable memoir the disheartening truth of his childhood, the difficulties of a life with severe dyslexia, the pressures of a role that takes on a life of its own, and the path forward once your wildest dream seems behind you.
Since the glorious era of Happy Days fame, Henry has endeared himself to a new generation with roles in such adored shows as Arrested Development, Parks and Recreation, and Barry, where he’s revealed himself as an actor with immense depth and pathos, a departure from the period of his life when he was so distinctly typecast as The Fonz, he could hardly find work.
Filled with profound heart, charm, and self-deprecating humor, Being Henry is a memoir about so much more than a life in Hollywood and the curse of stardom. It is a meaningful testament to the power of sharing truth and kindness and of finding fulfillment within yourself.
Nominee: Leslie F*cking Jones by Leslie Jones
Hey you guys, it’s Leslie. I’m excited to share my story with you.
Now, I’m gonna be honest: Some of the details might be vague because a b*tch is fifty-five and she’s smoked a ton of weed. But while bits might be a touch hazy, I can promise you the underlying truth is REAL. Whether I’m talking about my childhood growing up in the South, my early stand-up days driving from gig to gig through the darkest parts of our country and praying I wouldn’t get murdered, what Chris Rock told Lorne Michaels, that time I wanted to shoot Whoopi Goldberg on SNL, and yeah, I’ll tell you all about Ghostbusters and the nudes and Supermarket Sweep and The Daily Show . . . I’m sharing it all in these pages. It’s not easy being a woman in comedy, especially when you’re a tall-*ss Black woman with a trumpet voice. I have to fight so that no one takes me for granted, and no one takes advantage. These are the stories that explain why. (Cue the Law & Order theme.)
Nominee: Sure, I'll Join Your Cult by Maria Bamford
Maria Bamford is a comedian’s comedian (an outsider among outsiders) and has forever fought to find a place to belong. From struggling with an eating disorder as a child of the 1980s, to navigating a career in the arts (and medical debt and psychiatric institutionalization), she has tried just about every method possible to not only be a part of the world, but to want to be a part of it.
In Bamford’s signature voice, Sure, I’ll Join Your Cult, brings us on a quest to participate in something. With sincerity and transparency, she recounts every anonymous fellowship she has joined (including but not limited to: Debtors Anonymous, Sex and Love Addicts Anonymous, and Overeaters Anonymous), every hypomanic episode (from worrying about selling out under capitalism to enforcing union rules on her Netflix TV show set to protect her health), and every easy 1-to-3-step recipe for fudge in between.
Singular and inimitable, Bamford’s memoir explores what it means to keep going, and to be a member of society (or any group she’s invited to) despite not being very good at it. In turn, she hopes to transform isolating experiences into comedy that will make you feel less alone (without turning into a cult following).
Nominee: Quietly Hostile by Samantha Irby
The success of Irby's career has taken her to new heights. She fields calls with job offers from Hollywood and walks the red carpet with the iconic ladies of Sex and the City. Finally, she has made it. But, behind all that new-found glam, Irby is just trying to keep her life together as she always had.
Her teeth are poisoning her from inside her mouth, and her diarrhea is back. She gets turned away from a restaurant for wearing ugly clothes, she goes to therapy and tries out Lexapro, gets healed with Reiki, explores the power of crystals, and becomes addicted to QVC. Making light of herself as she takes us on an outrageously funny tour of all the details that make up a true portrait of her life, Irby is once again the relatable, uproarious tonic we all need.

If someone were to make a FNAF animation to Viva La Vida by Coldplay...
The main character would be William Afton, while he's in UCN, specifically. However, it would mostly be told through memories.
Think about it:
(Intro) - Literally the intro into the video. Name and some credits.
I used to rule the world - (FNAF 1/2) William standing over a couple of bodies, covered in blood, heaving from exertion.
Seas would rise when I gave the word - (Memories) William ordering the Toy Animatronics into production.
Now in the morning I sleep alone - (UCN) William startling awake, sitting in a chair in the FNAF 1 (or 2, or any game) office, the clock blinking 12 AM at him.
Sweep the streets I used to own - (UCN) William using the flashlight, just to have it die on him.
(Mini instrumental) - (UCN) You know in Doctor Strange, there's basically a montage of him being killed in different ways? Some lasting longer than others? Basically that, but William being killed by the animatronics.
I used to roll the dice - (FNAF 1/2) William snickering around the corner from Henry, who's looking for him. William's suits up in the Spring Bonnie suit, head on his hands before he walks away from Henry.
Feel the fear in my enemy's eyes - (Memories) Michael cowering under William, fear in his eyes.
Listened as the crowd would sing - (FNAF 1/2) Newspaper articles of Night Guards being attacked and killed.
"Now the old king is dead, long live the king" - (FNAF 1/2) William smirking behind Henry's back as the man is crying at Charlie's funeral.
One minute I held the key - (FNAF 1/2) William holding Spring Bonnie's head.
Next, the walls were closed on me - (Memories) William being spring locked into the suit.
And I discovered that my castles stand - (Memories) William facing his family.
Upon pillars of salt and pillars of sand - (Memories) William watching his family one by one dying to his creations (or ones that he messed with). Mrs. Afton to Ballora, Elizabeth to Circus Baby, the Crying Child to Fredbear, and Michael to the Scooper.
I hear Jerusalem bells are ringing - (UCN) Golden Freddy's hands creeping onto his shoulders.
Roman cavalry choirs are singing - (UCN) Golden Freddy's face lowering into frame.
Be my mirror, my sword, and shield - (Memories) For "my mirror" a still of Michael looking like William, an insane grin stretching across his face as he suits up to kill children by his father's side. For "my sword" a still of Elizabeth in Circus Baby, attacking something William is pointing at, like an attack dog. For "my shield" a still of the Crying Child literally being used as a human shield for William, probably grabbed and held between him and an animatronic.
My missionaries in a foreign field - (UCN) Golden Freddy pushed back by unknown force, Michael, Elizabeth, and the Crying Child appearing between William and the animatronic, however none of them want to be there. It's like they were literally being held in place as they struggle to get free, terror on their faces as William smirks.
For some reason I can't explain - (UCN) The smirk falls from William's face as his children turn to him and take the forms they are, Michael as a living corpse (whether with a bear mask and currently running a pizzeria is up to interpretation), Elizabeth as Scrap Baby, and the Crying Child as a spirit, his head wrapped in bloody bandages with blood trickling into his eyes.
Once you'd gone, there was never - (UCN) The illusions of his children, fading in front of him, leaving him facing Golden Freddy.
Never an honest word - (UCN) Golden Freddy reaching for William, hand outstretched.
And that was when I ruled the world - (UCN) William scrunching his eyes closed, flinching back, preparing to die yet again.
(Instrumental) - (Memories) Flashes and stills of William interacting with his family, his friends (Henry).
It was a wicked and wild wind - (FNAF 3) William waking as Springtrap.
Blew down the doors to let me in - (FNAF 3) Something to do with Fazbear's Fright: The Horror Attraction.
Shattered windows and the sound of drums - (FNAF 3) Springtrap shattering the window to the office, trying to get to the Night Guard who raises his arms in front of his face to protect himself. Note: this Night Guard can be whomever, however, there has to be a moment where the Night Guard flickers between himself and Michael, which triggers Springtrap's anger.
People couldn't believe what I'd become - (FNAF 3) The Phantom Animatronics trying to hurt him, but they can only go through him. Especially the Phantom Puppet.
Revolutionaries wait - (FNAF 3) Golden Freddy, whether itself or as a Phantom, and the Spirit of Vengeance inside, narrowing its eyes while watching the Phantoms from a corner, waiting for their time to strike.
For my head on a silver plate - (FNAF 3) A Phantom tries and fails to literally behead Springtrap.
Just a Puppet on a lonely string - (FNAF 3) The Phantom Puppet shaking in anger, as Springtrap essentially taunts her.
Oh, who would ever wanna be king? - (FNAF 3) Springtrap's arms are thrown wide open, in a "look at me now!" pose.
I hear Jerusalem bells are ringing - (FNAF 4) William watching through cameras, watching the Crying Child be tormented by the Nightmare Animatronics.
Roman cavalry choirs are singing - (FNAF 4) The Crying Child's clock goes off, signaling 6 AM, and the Nightmares going away.
Be my mirror, my sword and shield - (FNAF 4) For "my mirror" a still of a looming Nightmare Bonnie. For "my sword" a still of an intimidating Nightmare Fredbear. For "my shield" a still of a crouching Nightmare.
My missionaries in a foreign field - (FNAF 4) The Nightmares roaming William's house.
For some reason I can't explain - (UCN) William blinking back to the present, seeing the outstretched hand of Golden Freddy, however, time is still while he's not. It's kinda like when anime does the "we're in an intense scene but I have to do a monologue so time will stop as I work through this thing that'll give me a breakthrough so I can defeat my enemy".
I know Saint Peter won't call my name - (UCN) The still Golden Freddy switching between, well, Golden Freddy, and Henry wearing his Fredbear suit, smiling at William.
Never an honest word - (UCN) William becoming angry, betrayed by his own mind.
But that was when I ruled the world - (UCN) Time resuming, and William leaping at Golden Freddy, who is taken aback by the sudden aggression. Screen flashes white for a transition.
(Instrumental) - (UCN) William fighting with the animatronics, and losing every time. However, his aggression and anger keep carrying him through it. There are a couple notable scenes where he's carrying an ax.
Hear Jerusalem bells are ringing - (UCN) William slams his ax into a version of Bonnie's head, and then glares up from where he stands.
Roman cavalry choirs are singing - (UCN) The other animatronics are leaping at him, ready to kill.
Be my mirror, my sword and shield - (UCN) For "my mirror" William wrenches his ax out of the Bonnie's head. For "my sword" he swings the ax, the blade taking out an animatronic or two. For "my shield" Mangle leaps at him, and the jaws close around the handle, William's hands gripping either end.
My missionaries in a foreign field - (UCN) He shoves the ax away, losing his weapon but getting Mangle away from him as blood trickles down his face, a snarl on his lips.
For some reason I can't explain - (UCN) The screen flashes white, and we see Old Man Consequences, fishing at a lake.
I know Saint Peter won't call my name - (UCN) Old Man Consequences turns to the camera and waves.
Never an honest word - (UCN) Old Man Consequences' lines are appearing in a text box, the ones where you set all animatronics to 0 and him to 1. I believe it's a long the lines of "Come. Rest your weary soul."
But that was when I ruled the world - (UCN) "Leave the demon to his demons." Fade to white.
(Outro) - Probably credits and "Like and Subscribe".
I don't know, I just think it's a neat idea, and I can't do animations. I'm only a mediocre artist.

“The Ultimate Constraint on Freedom”: Ted Kaczynski, Technology and Trauma
By Dr. Binoy Kampmark
Henry A. Murray has much to answer for. Between 1959 and 1961, the Harvard psychology academic, as the leader of a team of equally unprincipled academics, was responsible for conducting an CIA-funded experiment most unethical on 22 undergraduates.  The individuals in question were pseudonymised. One particularly youthful figure, named “Lawful”, was the mathematically gifted Theodore John Kaczynski.
A central theme of the experiments was examining the effects of stress, characterised by what Murray called “vehement, sweeping, and personally abusive” attacks. Ideals and beliefs were assailed; egos pulverised. For Murray, this came naturally. He had cut his teeth designing psychological screening tests for the forerunner to the CIA, the Office of Strategic Services. It was perfect preparation for what came to be known as Multiform Assessments of Personality Development Among Gifted College Men.
Kaczynski was the less than grateful recipient of the higher end of the experiment. “I had been talked or pressured,” he told his attorney Michael Mello in August 1998, “into participating in the Murray study against my better judgment.” It is indisputable that he, along with other subjects, had been sufficiently deceived to be victims of a breach of experimental ethics known more commonly as the Nuremberg Code.
Drafted in the aftermath of the Nuremberg War Crimes Trial of German concentration camp doctors, the code stressed the importance of informed consent. “The voluntary consent of the human subject is absolutely essential,” declared the judges responsible for formulating the code. The subject should also be “so situated as to be able to exercise free power of choice, without the intervention of any element of force, fraud, deceit, duress…”
Kaczynski can hardly be said to go on to better things, but they were certainly bigger. In terms of notoriety, his position in the technology obsessed undergrowth of the United States was assured by his murderous and maiming efforts. His favourite method: the package bomb, 16 of which were mailed to his intended victims. Three people died; 23 were injured.
A central tenet of Kaczynski’s thought was levelled at those complicit representatives of what he called the Industrial Society and its state manifestation. Far from being critical of power, its methods, and its wielding by bureaucrats and planners, its members were adjutants and prosecutors of a sinister agenda of behavioural control.
The profiles of the victims, actual and intended, constituted a true fruit salad, at times erratic and scattered: academics in engineering, psychology, genetics and computer science; the president of the California Forestry Association; a computer store owner; an advertising executive; American Airlines Flight 444 and the United Airlines President.
In its unifying theme, the manifesto, Industrial Society and Its Future, opens its barrels on the role of technology. “The Industrial Revolution and its consequences,” goes the grave opening, “have been a disaster for the human race.” While it had “greatly increased the life-expectancy of those of us who live in ‘advanced’ countries”, society had been destabilised, life made “unfulfilling”. Humans had been subjected to “indignities” and “widespread psychological suffering (in the Third World to physical suffering as well)”. The “natural world” had also suffered.

Batman: The Man Who Laughs
Read Date: November 16, 2022 Cover Date:April 2005 ● Writer: Ed Brubaker ● Penciler: Doug Mahnke ● Inker: Doug Mahnke ● Colorist: David Baron ● Letterer: Rob Leigh ● Editor: Mike Carlin ◦ Michael Siglan ●
Tumblr media
Synopsis: Roughly one year after Batman's debut, Capt. James Gordon finds himself in a rapidly-changing world: Gotham's organized crime is on the wane (especially with Commissioner Loeb's ousting), while costumed crimefighters are emerging across the nation. However, crime itself has grown exponentially more extreme, with some criminals - such as the since-vanished "Red Hood" robber - adopting costumes and aliases of their own.
On one particularly dismal night, Gordon's unit - along with Batman - discover an abandoned factory filled with corpses, all disfigured with chalk-white skin, green hair, and unnaturally large smiles. To Gordon's dread, Batman notes that some of the corpses are significantly aged, and speculates that the perpetrator had only been "practicing" on them.
The following night, Bruce Wayne attends a dinner with fellow millionaire industrialist Henry Claridge. As the two men idly watch a newscast announcing the reopening of Arkham Asylum, they witness the on-site reporter suddenly exploding into uncontrollable laughter, then dying with the same grinning disfigurement as the factory corpses. Seconds later, the newscast is hijacked by a psychotic terrorist with similar disfigurements, who announces Claridge's murder at midnight, then kills the rest of the news-crew and steals their transmitter van.
Responding as quickly as possible, Gordon's unit and Batman convene at the asylum, where they find a poem etched into one of the walls:
One by One They'll hear my call. Then this wicked town Will follow my fall.
Meanwhile, news of the terrorist - dubbed "Joker" by the press - spreads throughout Gotham, as does public panic. Soon, Gordon finds himself assigned to both Claridge's protection and the Joker's capture; to his frustration, Claridge refuses to leave his midtown penthouse, forcing Gordon to station men throughout the entire building. To the relief of all, midnight passes uneventfully - until Claridge abruptly collapses, the latest victim of the Joker's disfiguring poison.
Claridge's murder is soon compounded with even worse news: while the police - and Batman - had kept watch over the penthouse, the Joker had invaded a psychiatric hospital many miles away, killed most of the staff, and armed the most dangerous inmates with heavy weaponry. Batman is forced to spend the rest of the night chasing these rampaging inmates, recapturing only a fraction of them; on exhausting all his leads, he retires to the Batcave to engineer an antidote to the Joker's poison.
These efforts coincide with a new broadcast from the Joker, promising the murder of industrialist Jay Wilde. As fresh panic sweeps Gotham, Gordon and Batman redouble their precautions, especially once Batman deduces that Claridge had been preemptively exposed to a special delayed-action poison. Though no such thing is found in Wilde, a tight cordon is nevertheless thrown around his country estate - a cordon that the Joker promptly crashes with a stolen helicopter at midnight.
While the police are diverted by the crash (and a barrage of of gas grenades), Batman maneuvers through a haze of gunfire and meets the Joker head-on. After a quick scuffle, he overpowers and restrains the Joker, only to hear Wilde laughing. With this moment's distraction, the Joker manages to escape; shortly after, Wilde is found dead, grazed by a poison-coated bullet.
The following day, Batman disguises himself as a reporter to investigate the main connection between Claridge and Wilde: Ace Chemical Processing, which the pair had founded many years ago. From the staff, he learns that the plant's wastewater - a long-condemned source of pollution for nearby rivers - can disfigure human skin to look chalk-white, and hair to look green. As a result, he begins to suspect the Joker is none other than the Red Hood, who had dove into one of the plant's disposal tanks to escape Batman's pursuit several months ago.
Subsequently, Batman finds traces of the Joker's passing in an abandoned surveyor's office, and concludes that the Joker is using the office's sewer maps to traverse the city without being seen. However, investigating the sewers produces no further clues; forced to wait for the Joker's next move, Batman resumes work on the antidote while ruminating on his foe's psyche and true motives.
These ruminations are shaken when the Joker launches his third broadcast, planning a "two-fer" against Judge Thomas Lake and Bruce Wayne. This forces Wayne Manor under police surveillance; seeing no other escape options, Bruce injects himself with a dilution of the Joker's poison after nightfall, simulating a successful attack. Panicked, the police allow Alfred to rush his master to "the hospital" - that is, the privacy of a car, where he immediately applies the just-developed antidote.
While Alfred desperately tries to revive him, Bruce hallucinates the night of his parents' murder, and is struck by a violent hatred - not just toward the murderer, but toward all of Gotham for "allowing" the murder. On reviving, he realizes that he had, for the first time, understood what drives the Joker's mind: a paranoid egotism hating all of Gotham for "allowing" the pollution that disfigured him.
Simultaneously, Gordon and his unit find several gunmen attacking Lake's home; after routing the attack, Gordon is contacted by Batman, who has deduced that the Joker's true goal is to poison Gotham's drinking water (another location mapped by the surveyor's office) to ensure the entire city "follow his fall" into chemically-spawned ruin. The double attack had been a complete diversion - indeed, an equally perfunctory band of gunmen had been sent after Wayne Manor - so the Joker could invade the city reservoir.
While Gordon struggles to contact the (long-killed) water officials, Batman rushes to the reservoir and finds the water already poisoned, but still unreleased. Before confronting the Joker, he sets explosive charges on the viaduct controls, leaving the water impossible to release. Enraged, the Joker attacks, but is quickly overpowered; for an instant, Batman nearly throws him into the poisoned water, but curbs the temptation and merely beats him into submission.
Over the next few weeks, a semblance of order finally returns to Gotham. Wayne Enterprises repairs the reservoir for free, while the Joker is incarcerated at the refurbished Arkham Asylum. Most heartening of all - at least for Gordon - is the city's newest public work: a searchlight that projects Batman's symbol into the sky, so Gotham may remember not just its extraordinary crime, but its extraordinary crimefighters as well.

Doug Mahnke's art and inking, especially in the details of Gotham's architecture, is stunning
Also, I'm not sure who added things like glow to lights or this realistic blur effect to the centrifuge (possibly the colorist, David Baron?), but it makes for beautiful effects
Books like this make me wish I'd begun reading comics years ago

“Smooooooooooooooth Operator” — Brooklyn-based artist Kameelah Janan Rasheed presents a new exhibition that examines the poetics and power of machine learning. She questions computation, the role of the reader and ritual in “Smooooooooooooooth Operator,” which considers the menace of smoothness. We know what a smooth thing is; we’ve run our hand over a surface without noticeable projections or interruptions. Smoothing as a practice shows up in music via quantization and again in image processing via filters. Both are procedures of standardization and forced patterning by disregarding dirty data (or noise) in the service of fulfilling the audience’s expectations. Smooth viewing is easy viewing because the brain doesn’t have to second guess what it is looking at. Smooth images, smooth text make smooth, speed readers.
tiny ATH gallery
Peter Loose, "Places of Peace” — This exhibition is dedicated to the late and beloved artist Art Rosenbaum and centers on the work that Peter created the night he learned of Art’s passing. Birds have always been his inspiration.
Hotel Indigo, Athens
ArtWall@Hotel Indigo: Photography by Lucy Reback and Megan Reilly — These New York-based photographers have been living and working in Athens for the past two years. The artists, who are also a couple, have never exhibited collaboratively. These works span five years; some were taken before the couple met, and others are intimate vignettes of their relationship. The fragmented assemblage of their combined work reinterprets these memories, bending time to include the other in their past and articulate the present connection.
Glass Cube: “Aurora,” an installation by multimedia artist Zane Cochran featuring changing light and geometric lanterns based on occurrences of the Northern Lights. Open 24/7.
The Classic Center
The Classic Center galleries will be closed this Third Thursday due to an event in the space.
Third Thursday was established in 2012 to encourage attendance at Athens’ established art venues through coordination and co-promotion by the organizing entities. This schedule and venue locations and regular hours can be found at 3thurs.org.
