There was a mocking poem in Sally Potter's version of Orlando.
“Try as he might, this gracious noble Lord,
Who lifts his pen and thinks he then can write
Cannot — for who can pen when he is bored?
The mind of leisure only can be trite...

No very wealthy person can make art of any kind. To be wealthy is to be a dilettante; your creation is meaningless and you have no connection with the rest of humanity.

Barbie is a wonderful entertainment but it is not a particularly innovative or smart film. What is best about it would be a lot better if the themes of the film weren't MEGAPHONED AT THE AUDIENCE LIKE THEY'RE DEAF all through the third act.

Ive never seen anything more boring in my life. I've been to illegal raves in 90s Slovenia ffs. This is a 2004 Barcardi commercial. Nobody is drunk and everyone is talking about deals and mergers.

Still sliding FAR away from both axioms of 'students' and 'the establishment/ ruling class.'
we are not discussing 'protests.'

I literally cannot believe how fast US liberals aligned themselves with outspoken and shameless neo-Nazis.
Oh no I can because they always, always do.

Required to point out again the at the US Boy Scouts has been utterly dominated by the churches since the 1960s, unlike much of international scouting.

One of my favorite things about gay raconteur and actor Quentin Crisp is how much he loved John Candy. He could be quite acid about some people, and was a great movie critic, but all judgement deserted him when Candy was onscreen.

This person is a psychologist and professional grief counselor and she thinks THIS is an appropriate reaction of a death in the family.

Nope. Poverty erodes consent with necessity, just like any power imbalance. I defend sex workers as a matter of safety but the johns are by definition scum.

...This pretty knight who feebly lifts his sword
To make a witless thrust against his doom
Is foiled by what his noble birth affords —
Dogs, dogs, more dogs, and far too many rooms.
So fortune smiles on those who own the land
And frowns at trivia from the dabbler’s hand.”

Predators don't prance down the street in cocktail dresses and leather; they hide in vestments, uniforms and behind established authority. Predators have badges, money, and mainstream power.

And yet here is this story, right in front of you. Negotiation are INEVITABLE the only question is when does the US decide that time has run out on this bloodbath?

Because capitalism judges its 'success' by the luxury and ostentation of of the elite, whereas socialism judges its success by the security and comfort of the masses.

Its a super-carcinogen and I do not think there's any way of removing it from the body or neutralizing it, it just builds up, like lead. But there may be new approaches. Most people who died from asbestos historically were never recognized or subjected to intensive treatment.
@rtenews
It's profoundly insulting to imagine that women seeking a termination have not already given it sufficient thought, I suspect it is imposed in order for creeps to mobilise their customary pressure under the guise of 'counseling.'
@flglmn
I honestly think the maguffin in any Indiana Jones film has to be a PLAUSIBLY HOLY or SACRED object that must not fall into the hands of EVIL, PROFANE people.
Anything else is meaningless. You dont have to be religious (I am not) to understand the power of religious tropes.
@flglmn
This also emphasizes that Indy is a good, brave but NOT religious man, a scientist: the holy object is not HIS but as a decent, albeit sardonic man, he is instinctively on the side of the righteous.
@MorganFailchild
US Christianity is infantile, literal, and grotesquely selfish. The personal Jesus is as debased as a parking valet and no better than a guardian angel.

All this was exhaustively covered in the mainstream media for eight full years prior to 2021. How are you gonna make it just...disappear?

A large majority of children murdered are murdered by their own (cis, heterosexual) parents.
'Normal' people accuse minorities of the crimes for which they are overwhelming responsible.
@HarmfulOpinion
Hw much sex that you've had has resulted in a baby? Reproduction is demonstrably not the primary function of sex. It may he it's most essential function but it's not why people do it.
What Roisin Ingle seems to miss in her disgusting 'me, me' article is that the victims of systemic abuse at Blackrock College were not the big loud sporty Rosses that lived in lionised safety, but the vulnerable isolated students the big sporty cunts bullied to near-suicide.
@narrative_hole
Americans accusing Ukrainians of cowardice because they don't want to die for a failed NATO proxy war is the height and depth of irony.

Totally, it's a gateway, like shaved vaginas and hentai for straight men. Ive never been so happy to only fancy men (and lads) who weigh more than me.
@nytimes
The problem is that it's Azov themselves who keep filming and broadcasting these clearly illegal actions. The guy in the box is a 'collaborator.'
