My favorite genre of Epstein emails are powerful people emailing WITH JEFFREY EPSTEIN about how MeToo has gone too far and the woke mob must be stopped.

What the hell is a “carceral leftist”?
I am unspeakably moved by Anna‘s words (as well as her decision) and, because she is being attacked by carceral leftists, it seems important to add that your “justice system“ is a nightmare. Praxis is life.

The problem with social media is that you’re only allowed to hold opinions in batches. If you believe X and Y, you must also believe Z, which is atmospherically similar to X and Y and believed by all the same people.
If you don’t do this, everyone hates you. It makes actual thinking impossible.

I taught film to 16-18yos for decades & had to deal with this problem from 2005 onwards.
I had to put their phones on their desk & turn them off. They were frustrated at first but eventually accepted that they had to concentrate on the film & enjoyed doing so.
Then it was back to their phones.
