Jerome Robbins with the original “Fancy Free” cast - Muriel Bentley, Janet Reed, Harold Lang & John Kriza - in Times Square in 1958. That's photographer Gordon Parks leaning over his tripod.

A remarkable photograph from the NYPL digital collection.

Fuck, too soon. She was so vivacious, it's difficult to imagine.

And her kids are young. (20s)

Buried in Michigan's antiporn bill is a provision to effectively outlaw "circumvention tools," such as VPNs.

Mark my words: legislators will increasingly leverage porn panic to restrict or ban VPNs, and to limit internet privacy far beyond adult sites.

Experts raise privacy concerns over Michigan bill targeting pornography and VPNs

Rep. Josh Schriver, the bill’s sponsor, says the law is designed to target only producers and distributors of pornography, not everyday internet users.

Oh, need a comedy show or YT/TikTok of this.

Reminds me: I had a rather serious brain issue in 2023, and for several days, hospital staff asked meml orientation questions.

At some point I noticed they weren't asking, "Who's president?" I figured it's because they'd spent nearly3 years having MAGA patients fighting over the answer.

If just one coward in that room would say, fine let's all take it right now.
