The first real movie I ever saw was Georgy Girl (1966) with Lynn Redgrave. I was smuggled in by my parents (no less) as I was reallly not old enough. Enjoyed it, though.
Porn? Seem to have missed that ... oh, well.

Oh, interesting. Is the GOP Senator a blank(et) slate by any chance?
A big part of the authoritarian playbook is war. War takes over the news. War blots out criticism. War divides a nation’s people, subjecting those against it to being called unpatriotic. War grants leaders all sorts of emergency powers. War consumes everything else.
We mustn’t let this war do so.
I was born in an Iranian prison. My parents were held in their jails. My uncles lie in their mass graves. Nothing you can tell me about the crimes of the Iranian regime that I haven't lived in blood and bone. That doesn't mean I want my people bombed, maimed, killed, their homes in ruins. If your vision of liberation comes only through the destruction of innocent lives, then it's not freedom you're after. Sahar Delijani, Iranian author
I am pro Iranian people. I stand with them against their own government’s repression AND against the imperial violence in the form of bombs dropped from the sky from Israel & the US who have already killed hundreds.
I support neither imperialism or dictatorship.
Sahar Delijani said it best:
Well, does it make a difference? Russia and Israel know everything already
Very funny

Del Bigtree is not old enough to have lived in the age of polio. However, this might make an impression, as per NPR:
Polio struck Paul Alexander in 1952, when he was just 6 years old. Within days, the disease robbed him of the use of his body. > 2
Good for them!

"More and more, [Trump] speaks as though he’s at a raucous rally, even when he’s at an official function. He is verbally letting it all hang out wherever he goes, the linguistic equivalent of wearing his Mar-a-Lago golf togs to deliver the State of the Union."
