#MovieMonday “The Navigator,” Buster Keaton’s biggest-grossing silent film, celebrates a centenary this year! Possibly his best example of using props to tell a story - the USAT Buford, the ship on which the film is set, is the biggest prop he ever used!
And while it has plenty to celebrate I’m sure, It also needs to recognise that it’s current state was built on bloodshed and genocide.
As well as it’s continued sponsoring of genocide denial. Denying the Armenian and Assyrian genocides, (AND continued persecution of Armenians and Assyrians still living there) in turn allowing continued bloodshed with impunity on its own part, as we see with its actions against the Kurds, and its intervention in Syria and Libya.

No but ya’ll “The Power of the Doctor” is calling back that conversation in Flux with Tecteun! When the Doctor asks “How much power do you imagine I have?” And Tecteun says “You inspire. Make people question and rise up. You give them hope.”
It ties together a big theme of 13’s run pretty well!
