I love all the age diversity that TV now has. But why does every contemporary late midlife crisis comedy have a classical score that sounds like mice in bonnets should be dancing to it?

Sure thing 😊
Haha I'll stop with the 90s playlist now πŸ˜‚.
Ooh that be great. I find the internal debates (and sometimes bloody battles) within feminism fascinating whether it's back then or more contemporary.

He wore the cheesehead hat in WI. Spent $20 million. Paid people to sign petitions. Paid people to canvas. Did million dollar giveaways. A rally. TV interviews. But I guess people in Wisconsin didn’t appreciate an oligarch trying to buy their civil liberties.

Google Scholar

@phoebebovy.bsky.social So I'm almost certain it was Celia Kitzinger & Sue Wilkinson. I think probably either scholar.google.com/scholar?star... or their 1996 collection 'Heterosexuality'. Could be wrong on those 2 pubs but I'm confident on the author-editors.

Oh jeez that's so annoying when that happens isn't it. I'm asking the filing cabinets of my mind for the ref and will holler if I get an answer

Haha yeah I bet there were calls wayyyy back. Though I'm pretty sure there was actually a collection of essays that came out in the 90s following such a call. I remember reading about it in the 2000s and reading snippets. I wish I could remember the editors!

Yes & futile for most straight ladies. This is your jam so you prolly know all abt it, but have you read...oh god I can't remember the scholars' names, but it was 2 lesbian radfem call for papers in the 90s asking hetero women feminists to kind of write in defense of sleeping with the enemy.

I often say that hetero women are proof that sexuality isn't a choice πŸ˜†

Yep, being straight is absolutely a thing - much to the chagrin of many straight women themselves.

What’s in the millions of tonnes of sludge sprayed on to farmland? The answer won’t make you happy | George Monbiot Thanks to breathtaking negligence, the liquid fertiliser used to help grow our food bubbles with a lethal cocktail of toxins, says Guardian columnist George Monbiot

A gobsmacking story. Water companies let toxic waste disposers, for cash, dump their loads into sewage farms. The sewage sludge is then spread, untested, on farmland, potentially poisoning vast areas, entire ecosystems and the people (you and me) eating the food.

Of course a populace trained in avoiding thinking by reading nothing longer than a meme would also be a populace eager to avoid all thinking by offloading it to a robot.

French Senator Claude Malhuret:

The UK government has likely also concluded the USA cannot be counted on, but must pretend otherwise to buy time for rearmament.

If you’re cheering for a South African sociopath to fuck over US military veterans then you should probably stop with that America first bullshit.

There's so much *gestures wildly* right now, but the incoming president of the United States launching a memecoin where he holds most of the coins, multiplying his wealth by ten overnight... It barely made the news.

I heard RFK Jr. is floating the banning of the polio vaccine so seems like a good time to remind folks that RFK Jr. was vaccinated with this same vaccine & therefore is at no risk of harm himself

Kinda like when he publicly was against the covid vaccine yet privately required his guests to have itπŸ™ƒ
