  • Just saw that documentary about Janitors stating Peter Dinklage.

    The film is, at its core, about the erasure of invisible labor. A man whose name is never spoken on camera, whose body is disposed of like the waste he handled, whose only tool is a mop.

    The mutation, the green skin, the mop-wielding violence, that’s subtext. It’s the film’s way of saying: this is what happens when a janitor is finally seen. The corporate villain, the band, the hostage rescue, the serum, all of it is just the set dressing of a workplace where the person on the floor is the only one who actually keeps things running, and the company’s answer to that is a waste pit.

    (Just kidding, it’s a hilarious gorefest)














  • Yea, but are the majority of scholars really free from bias with 3 major religions notorious for killing people over disagreements (and funding those that agree with them) all having a vested interest in perpetuation of the myth?

    Every wikipedia source to the contrary is essentially an agrument to authority and didn’t even discuss the underlying “evidence” or points to sources long after the fact and calls on:

    Multiple attestation across independent Gospel traditions (Yea, right, that can all be made up)

    Criterion of embarrassment: (Once again, not evidence. Religions are not aways rational, or correct)

    Tacitus (Annals 15.44, c. 116 CE): “Christus… suffered the extreme penalty during the reign of Tiberius at the hands of one of our procurators, Pontius Pilatus.” This is the key non-Christian corroboration. (And a hundred years later, press X to doubt)

    So, I’m not impressed.
