about project 2025

to all americans: project 2025 is a plan created by an association of republicans for what they will do if they win office in the next presidential election. within 180 days of victory, they plan to turn the country around. they've written a book called mandate for leadership: the conservative promise detailing their plan. it is 900+ pages long. you can download a pdf online (i tried putting the link here but it won't work. just look up mandate for leadership pdf)

what they want: their republican president to do a deep clean of the government and, in essence, turn it into a conservative stronghold. they want to flood the government with republicans. (source) (source) what they will do with this power includes:

  • dismantle climate policy (source)
  • criminalize being lgbtq+ (source) (the entirety of promise #1 in the book is about this. you can read it)
  • nationwide abortion ban
  • basically getting rid of anything they don't like. see below

why this matters: a couple months ago, i would've thought they could never pull it off. but now, anti-lgbtq+ legislation has only been growing. and if you think you're safe in a blue state,

you're not

but both parties are the same right πŸ€ͺ

anyways if this won’t motivate you to vote for democrats idk what will

I watched The Last Unicorn (1982) with very, very little prior knowledge of the film. And I wasn't planning to, but I ended up taking notes because wow. This movie. It's something.

  • The very little prior knowledge I had was as follows: it's an old animated film about a unicorn and I've occasionally heard people talk about it fondly. That's it, that's literally all I had going into this thing. It was not nearly enough to prepare me.
  • Ohhhh I love the scenery! Man, nothing hits quite like a traditional hand-drawn backgrou--OH MY WORD WHAT IS THAT WHY IS IT MOVING LIKE THAT STOP IT
  • Ohhh, this is a Rankin-Bass production? Well, that explains the animation.
  • Yeah that is not a unicorn, that's a llama with a table-knife glued to its head.
  • Ooh, the opening credits play over a lightly animated medieval tapestry! That's so coo--aaaaand they picked the most 80's sounding song I can imagine to go over it, okay.
  • Yo this butterfly is stoned out of his little buggy mind, maybe he should get some rehab.
  • Love that it's not immediately clear what the "red bull" actually is yet. Is it a literal bull? Is it a raging fire? Is it the inescapable march of industrial progress?? Gotta stay tuned to find out. (edit: it was literally just a bull and I need to stop reading symbolism into every little thing).
  • Ok ngl, the "Man's Road" sequence was actually fire, despite (or perhaps because of) the 80's cheese.
  • Angela Lansbury!!! Man, she just ate this role. Who'd've thought Mrs. Pots could sound so threatening?
  • I would die for Shmendrick.
  • Oh that is a very lore-accurate harpy right there. (βŠ™_βŠ™;)
  • Love how the witch's carnival arc touches on the idea of truth vs. wishful delusion. There's a beautiful irony in a movie about a literal unicorn talking about the importance of staying grounded in what is real and truly beautiful.
  • No, seriously, I would die for Shmendrick. Protect this precious man at all costs.
  • Can we pretty please stop calling the witch Mommy
  • "That's my immortality!" eyo this witch is actually a great villain. Really wish she could've stuck around for the whole movie.
  • Awww, the unicorn is taking care of Shmendrick! That's so sweet! God knows he needs it.
  • Shmendrick: Run! We'll find each other later! *immediately gets captured*
  • Have I mentioned that I would die for Shmendrick.
  • I feel like the entire bit with the outlaws had a lot of connecting shots cut out for time because I really couldn't follow any of what was happening.
  • Hehehe...That tree looks like a butt. I wonder if they did that on purpo--WHAT THE HELL
  • *nervously glancing over my shoulder to make sure my family doesn't see me watching this*
  • Unicorn to the rescue!! Thank heavens.
  • "That was true magic." Then please don't ever do true magic again.
  • "How dare you come to me now, when I am this?!" H-hey, nobody told me this movie was gonna go that hard...
  • Mom-friend acquired! Just in time, too. Unicorn looked like she was getting real tired of being the only one with two brain cells to rub together.
  • Our heroes: *bracing themselves for what may be the darkest, most dangerous part of their journey* Freakin' Gerry Beckley from "America:" 🎡MOON RISIN'! DISGUISIN'!! 🎡 Gotta love that tonal dissonance.
  • Oooh hey the animation on the Red Bull is actually kind of good!
  • Molly: DO SOME MAGIC! Shmendrick: I CAN'T! Molly: YES U CAN I BELIEVE IN U Shmendrick: *does some magic* Molly: NOOOOO WHAT HAVE U DONE Molly I love you, but make up your darn mind.
  • Love that being turned into a human being is like, the worst thing that could ever happen to the unicorn. Yeah, being human is a pretty awful experience.
  • Boy there is just empty static behind Prince Lir's eyes. Homeboy doesn't have a thought in his head and probably never will.
  • Lir: babe look I got u a severed dragon head pls love me
  • Oh yeah. Marry this one, Unicorn. He's a keeper.
  • Molly: Shmendrick will help! Unicorn: I hope for no help from him. He is no magician now, but the king's clown.
  • GURL SAY THAT AGAIN! U KEEP DISRESPECTING MY BOI SHMENDRICK AND U WILL GET THESE HANDS!
  • The pirate cat is now my second-favorite character. I've known him for all of 10 seconds, but I love him.
  • He doesn't actually purr. He just says, "Purr, purr." I love him even more now.
  • "No cat anywhere ever gave anyone a straight answer." Most accurate line ever put to film.
  • Unicorn, please marry Prince Lir, you well never find a purer source of Himbo Energy than him. Look at him, he's even singing badly for you, you gotta take this one.
  • "I mean you can't really be that ridiculous magician's niece--" BETRAYAL. OUTRAGE. SCANDAL. I DISOWN YOU, LIR, YOU FOUL SERPENT WHO SPEAKS NOTHING BUT FILTH. I HOPE THE UNICORN BREAKS YOUR STUPID LITTLE HEART
  • Dang. This guy voicing the skeleton is putting his entire heart and soul into that laugh.
  • Prince "I love whom I love" Lir will not be stopped even by the threat of potential bestiality. I'd say Husband Goals, but first of all, ew, and second, he insulted Shmendrick so he is dead to me.
  • "I wish to God I didn't care about anything but my magic, but I do!" Oh Shmendrick, honey... πŸ₯Ί
  • Yooo, that transformation back into her unicorn form was actually sick. For a Rankin-Bass made-for-tv movie, this thing pulls off some surprisingly good animation every once in a while.
  • Yeah, kick his magical red butt, little unicorn! Go save your boyfriend and your family!!!
  • What is it with Christopher Lee and playing creepy old guys who get thrown off of towers at the end
  • Wait, no, I only sort of meant it when I said the unicorn should break Lir's heart, I didn't think they'd actually do it!
  • Molly ditched her outlaw husband to travel the world with Shmendrick and honestly, I'd do the same if I was in her place.
  • Oh wow. She chose to save her own kind and return to her forest even though she loved Lir. This is actually very bittersweet and--GOTDANGIT GERRY BECKLEY, NOT NOW!!!

Closing thoughts: This movie was an absolute trip and I'm probably going to think it was a fever dream I once had after some time has passed. It's also the only movie I can think of that I would actually want a remake/remaster of. The story was great, though it jumped around from place to place so quickly that it was sometimes hard to follow what was happening. I like the characters a lot (mostly Shmendrick tbh but they're all good), and I wish there had been more time to let them interact with each other. You can see the potential for chemistry between the different personalities, but it's stifled by moments of awkward voice acting and the strange, jittery character animation. With more time to breathe and better animation, this story would really be something amazing. I'm actually very interested in reading the original novel it was based on now, I'll have to see if I can get my hands on a copy. All in all, The Last Unicorn (1982) is a mind-boggling experience with surprisingly deep themes combined with what I can only assume is what you see when you're on acid. If you have any interest, I would highly recommend seeing this thing for yourself.

Yes. Even the Boob Tree. Please. I don't want to be the only one who is cursed to have that scene in my brain.

You know the Grimm version of Snow White makes more sense than most versions if only because in that version Snow White was like 7 years old.

Like imagine you find a 7 year old in the woods and she’s like my mom is gonna kill me because I’m prettier than her and she’s not kidding. You know this queen is that sort of person. So you and your roommates adopt the kid and tell her don’t talk to strangers. And she keeps talking to strangers and getting poison combs stuck in her hair and whatnot.

Like yeah that’s kinda stupid but also she’s seven. She likes apples.

Also imagine it from the hunter’s perspective. The queen tells you this bitch is prettier than me I need you to take her out in the woods and kill her. And then you see who you’re supposed to kill and it’s a 2nd grader. Like how are you supposed to react to that sort of situation? Kill a human child? No. Because you’re not a brainless evil minion you’re just some guy dealing with a cartoonishly evil monarch. Of course you let her go.

Bad look for the Prince of course. Even if she did age while she was in that glass case. He saw a dead woman and just decided to keep her. And once she stopped being dead he was like we’re married now

He did cause the evil queen to dance to death in red hot shoes though. That was kinda cool.

With the acknowledgement that I'm grasping at straws, is it ever directly confirmed that the Prince wasn't also 7?

See, I think that still works.

You are the guardsman assigned to protect the eight-year-old Prince. You are currently in the middle of the forest because he absolutely had his heart set on "going hunting", and the royal second-grader should definitely not be traipsing around the woods on his own. You let him go a little on ahead and he comes running back talking about how there's a dead girl in the clearing and there's no-one else around and he wants to take her home because she's really pretty, Hans, and she's all alone!

You let him drag you to said clearing and okay, that is one angelic-looking dead child alright, and on the one hand the quality of her clothes and the craftsmanship on the coffin (who builds a see-through coffin?) speak to potential Consequences if you simply carry her off, but also for the amount of vines that have grown on the coffin she looks extraordinarily un-decayed, so you should probably get the court alchemist's opinion on that, and there's no way he's going to come all the way out here in his embroidered velvet curly-shoes. And also this kid is technically assigned by God as your natural superior, or something.

So fine. You hoist the coffin onto your shoulder (it's not like the Prince can do it. He's eight.) and head back toward the castle, Prince chattering blithely all the way. And then you turn your ankle on a rock and suddenly there's a thump and a cough and a lot of shouting from inside the coffin and you have now become a key player in a tense political incident with the next kingdom over.

You should probably ask for a raise.

I’m really looking forward to the day at work when the CEO comes online and says, β€œCongrats, that was everything we were gonna do. We’ve done all the work. That’s all the stuff we’ve planned to do. The products are all really good right now and we shouldn’t change them anymore. It’s just cashing checks from here on out.” And we all go outside and play in the river.
