Medium Book

As fun as the series has been, I’ve been finding the plot hard to follow at times. The constant head-jumping and universe-ending make it hard to understand what’s going on half the time. It works, though, since I guess that’s kinda the point. After a while, you just stop asking questions. I liked that one robot…Although I forgot its name. I’m really enjoying this series, but also feel like I’d struggle to feel the same way about anyone else who does. There’s a very ‘reddit humor’ to these books that I think would be insufferable to actually discuss outside of the pages. Some like Rick and Morty shi. Fine on its own, just cringe in literally any other context. Fck Elon Musk.

The bizarre stories told by survivors of the Rwandan Genocide prove how impossible it is to understand the motives behind ethnic cleansing. You can’t ever truly understand something that is founded on evil. The UN’s slowness to acknowledge the mass killings as a genocide sparks questions of how orgs define genocide and “the burdens that the g-word carries.” The international community’s shirking of responsibility, most excellently summed up by the United States’ failure to answer “how many acts of genocide does it take to make genocide?”, proves how nonsensical it is to base action or inaction on the quantifiability of something so intangible. When dealing with atrocities such as this one, denouncing evil is a far cry from doing good.
