I've finally installed a new blog. I've been posting things to a private JRNL.com account, but there are in the odd moment things I want to say. Here is where I will say them. 

Starting off: a movie review of one of the worst movies ever made, reviewed by Adam Scovill of the BBC. The movie was The Devils from the 1970's. Truly awful. But in the review the author says a few things that are so true.

The message is that outrage and heresy can easily be weaponized by the powerful.

It is a story of the gullible descending into a mob. "You have to seduce the people in order to destroy them," shouts Grandier to the court when facing his charges. Truth is a scarce commodity in times of strife.

Malice succeeds by veiling itself in piety and social sanctity.

I'll get to work moving all my old blog posts over to this one, and keep it up to date.
