Honey, I know, I know, I know times are changin'
It's time we all reach out for something new, that means you too
You say you want a leader, but you can't seem to make up your mind
And I think you better close it and let me guide you to the purple rain

the other thing that gets me angry is that trans folks, POC, people posting about Gaza - we all get our shit taken down for little to no reason all the time. people on bluesky get suspended for posting song lyrics that use violent words. you can't say "kill" in a reel. but pedophilia? 16 strikes.

I could get a lot more done if I could harden my heart.
But if I could, would I be proud of what I was doing?

Emotional Hot Potato: Characters Pass on Negative Emotions
How can a story show it has a strong, personal understanding of its audience? Should a story start from there, or find its way?

I warned that private equity taking over Walgreens would be bad for workers.
This is the private equity playbook: they hollow out businesses, cheat their workers, and drive them into the ground.

Lots of movies age poorly. But in recent memory, has anything aged as poorly as “Bombshell,” which presents Megyn Kelly as a principled girlboss standing up to shitty men in media and politics?

[deep sigh] Look. We have a legal system that claims boneless chicken wings are allowed to have bones in them. If you have enough money and know enough lawyers, dictionary definitions are powerless against you.
