I love two-lane highways. They say something about the way things used to be, and about areas that don't have a lot of people. On those two-lanes at night you get the sense of moving into the unknown, and that's as thrilling a sense as human beings can have. #DavidLynch

If history holds, from Chicago's police department censoring Macbeth for violence to Tumblr censoring renaissance art for b00bz, mockery won't change the mind of censors high on self-righteousness but it will damage their reputations and I'll take what I can get.

Becoming increasingly clear we’re gonna have to build a parallel infrastructure for all the media we really love. The reason all of this is happening under the color of law is hyperconsolidation, dissent being traded straight up for merger approval, or fear of harassment.

I think some people have trouble seeing fascism as anything other than 1940s Germany. But I think 'people going to a comic convention needing to have a plan in case the government's goons show up to disappear people' is a pretty good demonstration of what it can look like in 2025.

I just paid my real estate taxes online. If you pay by echeck (which I did), no fee. However, if you pay any other way, credit, debit, Venmo, etc, they charge $40!! So, ppl who don’t have a checking acct, or enough $ in their acct (ie those who are struggling the most) get gouged. SUCH CRAP.

I don’t think anyone is prepared for what they just did w/ ICE. This is not a simple budget increase. It is an explosion - making ICE bigger than the FBI, US Bureau of Prisons, DEA,& others combined. It is setting up to make what’s happening now look like child’s play. And people are disappearing.

It's also worth mentioning that Les Moonves, head of CBS at the time, sabotaged Janet Jackson's career for not delivering a groveling apology to him after a certain ramen-haired dweeb pulled open her top during the Super Bowl. www.vanityfair.com/hollywood/20...

It's also one of several reasons Paramount+ is a streaming service I have never tried and never will. I will never give them a penny. I bought classic Star Trek box sets on disc used, ditto a few other series. I am committed to physical media but most especially in this case.

This case stuck with me because this was not he said, she said. He was caught on camera, every allegation she made was backed up via recordings, and she still was the one whose career was ruined. Weatherly, as an interchangeable white guy in shows gramps likes, was the one deemed essential.

I hope she finds success, fulfillment and healing in her new career but "stepping away" doesn't really describe what was done. (CBS indicated that she invited harassment as an immodest harlot because she wore a swimsuit-- at the beach) www.harpersbazaar.com/culture/feat...

Dozens of journalists were assaulted by law enforcement in Los Angeles this weekend. The press were just doing their job -- a sacred one explicitly protected by law. Press rights orgs will follow up collectively tomorrow. Tonight, I emailed evidence to local/state/federal officials. My sign off:

I recognize this is an exceedingly difficult time and for many of you this is a crisis on several levels. I respect those challenges and I don't consider press rights superior to the rights of others. However, all other rights depend on press rights. We cannot allow them to be chilled. This was explained by civil rights icon and longtime congressmember John Lewis:

"If it hadn't been for the media, for brave, courageous journalists, the civil rights movement would have been like a bird without wings."

Democracy cannot function without an informed public. The public cannot be informed without a free press. It is your shared responsibility to ensure press are able to do their job. Several of you have been supportive over the years and I thank you for that. But your support is now needed more than ever. Please ensure your teams are aware of these egregious violations and ensure you take all possible steps to protect the press, and thereby the public and our country itself.

Sincerely,
Adam Rose
Press Rights Chair
Los Angeles Press Club

Not that we ever needed corporate pride bullshit, but in case you’re wondering: target’s pride collection is basically nonexistent is because of the conservative war on porn classifying ANYTHING to do with LGBTQ+ as “harmful to minors.” This is the strategy of project 2025 in action.

Sex workers aren’t the problem and if more people were capable of realizing this (as well as respecting the separation of church and state, and reaching class consciousness) we could maybe eventually have nice things again in this failing ass country.

Screenshot from Psychology Today article:

“Clinically, what these findings mean is that instead of assessing porn use in people who seek help for porn-related issues, clinicians and therapists should be assessing a person's moral attitudes toward porn, as well as their level of religiosity. In therapy, instead of trying to change people's porn use patterns, we should instead be focused on helping them make their values and behaviors congruent, and learning to understand and recognize the impact of their moral beliefs. This conflict between morality and sexual behaviors may be resolved by changing one's sexual behaviors or by changing one's values or simply by helping people become conscious and mindful of this internal conflict.
Many of the moral values we were raised with, about sex, race or gender, are no longer fully applicable to the modern world.
Because of religious opposition to sexual education, many people struggling with masturbation don't understand what is normal, or that their sexual interests are healthy.”
