Dark Farm - What can 8th Century Ants and Chickens Teach us about Today?


Transcript:
"Dark Farm"

Bound Chickens

My little servant bound the chickens
ready to take to market;
the birds, resenting such harsh handling,
flapped their wings and cackled.

My family has little regard for chickens,
blames them for eating ants,
forgetting the birds will soon be boiled
after their heads are severed.

What right have we to take a side
when ants and chickens fight?
I call to the boy, "Let them go ---
I want those birds unshackled."

The old dispute between chickens and ants
never will have an end;
leaning against the barn on the hill,
I gaze on the cold river.

---Poems of Du Fu

Dark Farm - Gods, Mortals, Climate Change and Mexican Soap Operas


Transcript:
TV actor 1 (male): No, Delores! It is I! I AM the mother of my cousin's mother's brother-in-law's albino baby!!
TV actor 2 (female): No! It cannot be!
God 1: Mortals are so gullible! It's as if they WANT to destroy themselves!
God 2: Climate change doesn't exist??? What do you expect from a species that believes if you repeat a lie over and over, eventually it becomes true??? They need a reality check!
God 3 (punchline): NO! What about poor Francesca! How could you do this to your own sister!

Hypocrisy Fleas - episode 3 (meet Jose', do you know your coffee people?)

Transcript:
"Hypocrisy Fleas"
Panel 1
Sarah: Jose', I hear everyone can take advantage of tuition reimbursement. Are you?
Jose': I'd like to. I work 34 hours a week here, with a four hour commute. Then I work 28 hours a week at another job. My wife works from home 18 hours to help pay for healthcare since I can't get enough hours, and takes care of the kids. It's cheaper than childcare costs. Money is tight, because it's only a reimbursement if the company agrees, but, yes, I'm going to try to get my manager's OK.
Panel 2
Boss: Unemployment looks to be lower in 2018. See what a great job we're doing in the economy? Profits are up, too. Oh, by the way, I was thinking of automating the coffee stand. Any idiot can make coffee. Seems a waste to pamper some lazy immigrant by letting him sit around doing nothing.
Pinhead: But who will mop and clean up the trash?!!
