Daily, Crowder Is Still Louder Than The Wire
Quick Thoughts On The Hullabaloo Between Steven Crowder & The Daily Wire
January 19, 2023

Over the past few days, controversy has erupted over a segment popular "conservative" commentator Steven Crowder did with regard to a contract/agreement he had been offered. His main point of contention was that the contract was predatory but more importantly a form of hush money: As long as he could stay inline with the objectives of our tech overlords he would be fine. Failing to adhere to any of the terms and conditions would result in massive fines. It does however seem that he left out a key detail: The monetary worth of the contract at a claimed 50 million dollars.

While many a "conservative" pundit online have become fixated on this amount, the salient point of the whole conversation is sadly fading away. Mr. Crowder was asked to trade in his silence on key issues for a significant sum. It has been said that silence is golden. Perhaps this is why the daily wire has been a goose in perpetual brooding season. Crowder may have had the potential to be a high value asset to the team. However, it does seem that for the pseudo mainstream conservative publication, what is good for the goose is also good for the gander. Donning the garb of a contractual working Joe, it does seem that Crowder would have had to pander daily to the masses about certain topics.

While there are suggestions that Mr. Crowder may have had ulterior motives, these are judgements that are being made by far off observers. Most of us are not in the playing field and can only but cast the die we have in hand. As is typical of many a conservative pundit, some have already weighed in from Mount Olympus on high, where their egos and noses reside. Occassionaly throwing down bolts of lightning all the while sparking confusion amongst us plebians. Naturally, what is hidden from common view is that everyone is drinking at this watering hole of a non issue. Lions and impalas lapping up the sweet waters of controversy which are a boon to the ratings.

As the tide rises, it does seem that all boats rise along with it regardless of size. However, the "conservative movement" is quickly becoming a sinking city. All trapped in this once underwater haven raptured from the reality above. The world on the surface burns yet the "conservative" denizens have been fooled into becoming little sisters. Quietly humming kumbaya in a monastery of self imposed ignorance. Fleeced by magnates who envision a world of uniformity and conformity. The Great Old Ones who seem to care little for the values of their key audience. The evil they had hoped to keep at bay seems to have escaped and fooled many by hiding its censorial habits. Online pundits The Nun leading the pilgrimage to the demise of a nation by missing the forest for trees. Collusion between Big Tech and Con Inc. is afoot.

It does seem that some have become intoxicated by their own opinions. Sipping elixirs of cynicism has emboldened them to cast stones at Mr. Crowder forgetting that he still is Hermes. A messenger. Winged feet quick to whiz him to each "change my mind" segment that have helped enlighten many an American youth over fallacies that went unexposed by "high minded" others. Meanwhile, Con. Inc. hosts daily talk shows that offer naught more but content filler segments for the busy lives of many an American "conservative." All the while being wrong on crucial issues such as the tyranny and collusion of Big Pharma, Big Media and Big government and catastrophically wrong on the Ukraine money laundering scam. In the midst of the cacaphony, we need to learn to pick the meat from the bones:

Con. Inc.'s collusion with Big Tech and work against "the base."

Public sparring matches between Mr. Crowder and puny god-kings are boring to spectate. This being said, it will be remis if I don't point out that the Daily Wire has done good work exposing those who want to send an infinite shock through God given biology. Attempts at extracting a new Adam & Eve will forever fail as cosmetic changes don't alter genes or birth new definitions for what a woman is.

Let us all rise and be louder. We can vote with our wallets and exit clubs we were never meant to be a part of. Crowder chose to not have his jaws shut. He has been through the wire. This public dispute has given us better clarity on the shenanigans that happen behind the scenes. We are all better for it knowing where allegiances lie.

On Sound Design & NPC Behaviour: Days Gone

Notice how the NPCs run for shelter as soon as it starts pouring with rain. This was so random yet it adds depth to the world as the these feel like real people with real lives going through the apocalypse as best they can.

Also, if you have headphones, hear if you can pick up the depth of the sound design. The pitter-patter of the rain drops as they strike different surfaces. It all sounds different giving a wide range to the sound helping with the immersion. Especially if you play using headphones.

Environmental storytelling in Avatar: Frontiers Of Pandora

Notice the burnt out mech struck through with arrows and dead soldier laying next to it. As the map is so large I can’t remember if I did this and the game engine stored the data to keep the world consistent or if this was strategically placed here by the devs to tell the story of a battle, more a fight, between Naavi and the RDA soldier.

Either way, really cool attention to detail. It helps make this world feel lived in.

Art For Today: Ghost In A Shell(2017)

Finally watched this and I really love it in spite of the negative reviews. I wonder if politics/virtue signalling was involved in some of the rotten tomato scores. Really well shot. Practically every frame is a painting. Production design is really a standout. Each frame is dripping with realism from money well spent. Well realised world and wonderful score and sound design.

To be fair though, I haven’t watched the original anime/read the manga it’s based on. Currently not available in my location.

Darkness Rising

I follow the non woke left on X and every now and again they retweet something from Dave Chappell or some comedian they happen to agree with(usually if they touch on the Gaza Strip). It’s often the said comedian/personality etc giving President Trump advice on how best to govern and what to do differently next time round. Their soliloquies often completely dismiss Trump as a leader and more importantly as a person. He’s just an object to be lectured at and to fulfil their wishes and desires. They clearly despise him. They undersell or understate his achievements and still believe in every other hoax.

I’m not an American but even I can feel bitterness encroaching on the edges of my heart. Like shadows creeping up along the edge of a forest before consuming it whole. Bitterness at the arrogance of said commentators/personalities. Bitterness at their wilful ignorance. Bitterness at them for attempting to rob Trump of his humanity. Sometimes I'm tempted to unfollow these accounts but I'm reminded that it gives me a perspective I don't have on many shared issues.

The Insufferable, Insatiable Desire To Hate

There seems to be an eargeness amongst some in the populace to find an object to be subjected to their ire. A singular evil in which the warlocks of the interwebs can gather covens of similarly minded witches and vent out their frustrations on. Pinning all the worlds ills on their chosen voodoo doll. For the past 8 years or so their chosen voodoo doll has been one Donald J. Trump. Presently, this dishonour seems to be split between the president-elect and entrepreneur Elon Musk. While public figures should not be free from criticism, a lot of the criticism lobbed at these men reeks of infantility.

The slightest perceived infraction will feed online streams with rivers of commentary that ultimately denounce either of these men as one form of evil or another. The latest of these internet witch trials, convenved by the internet's Wizengamot is over Mr. Musk's gaming abilities. Some seem to believe that Mr. Musk is not as good as he claims to be or he has hired someone to game for him and keep him atop gaming leaderboards in Diablo IV and Path Of Exile. This purported great evil act has been used as a springboard for many to dive into an ocean of bile made up of their own vomit. Self-made internet psychiatrists have surmised that this purported fakery by Musk portends a great evil. To them it is proof positive of his machinations to "interfere" with foreign governments.

Allowing ourselves, for the briefest of moments, to partake in this banquet of hatred, does this trivial nonsense outweigh the complete and total exposure of British Elite in the rape gang scandal? Perhaps not being good at Path of Exile is of greater import than the courage to stand up to the tyranny of censorship? I would have thought these people pariahs but it turns out we are the exiles. Cast out from their ocean of self loathing onto the shores of sanity.

Snyder's Misinterpretation Of The Batman Character

I finally watched Batman V Superman(Ultimate edition). I think Snyder's greatest obstacle is that he misinterpreted the character. Perhaps he had wanted to subvert the audience's expectations with his rendition. Unfortunately, I don't think the material quite lands. A lot more questions are raised than Mr. Snyder cares to answer and this leaves one with the sense that the questions were either unintentional or inserted for the sake of creating an air mystery where none was needed.

Why is Wayne Manor abandoned? It is key to the mythos of the Batman character in nearly all interpretations of the character. Almost a character in itself. While Mr. Wayne and Alfred have always been criminals this has always been in reference to the law(breaking and entering, vigilantism, etc). Here it seems Bruce embraces criminality as a philosophy. Why is Batman afraid of Superman? In the source material he is afraid of Superman's power. He is not afraid of being killed by him. Bruce has always embraced his own mortality. His greatest fear is that he will fail Gotham and thus also fail his parents. When did Batman embrace live rounds in Mr. Snyder's rendition? In the source material when forced to use ammunition he uses rubber bullets. While being on the edge of becoming a murderer, Batman did not kill the Joker, Joker snapped his own neck to prove a point.

Additionally, I think Amy Adams' Lois Lane and Jessy Eisenberg's Lex Luthor were horribly miscast. Miss Adams' performance attempts to give gravitas to a role that doesn't have much. Eisenberg on the other hand is simply not Lex Luthor. The words coming out of his mouth are right but his mannerism and characterisation imply he is an imposter who has only read footnotes about Mr. Luthor. He lacks the flare, charisma and drive that the Luthor of old has.

While Mr. Snyder has injected some of his signature camera work into the final product, a lot of it seems devoid of meaning. Cool shots that portend to a deeper symbolism but lack the substance to support the portrait being painted. Preceding shots don't seem to lend themselves to any deeper visual story telling that would help decipher the symbolism of the cooler follow up shots thus they end up being all style and no substance.
