Turns out the best television show I ever missed when it first came out is actually the XFILES. Apologies to Mulder and Scully, patron saints of nerdy bixexuals everywhere.

I keep forgetting this website exists, but since I happen to be here, may I recommend COMPANION and THE PITT? I'll also mention that I'm in the process of watching BUFFY for the first time, and it turns out to be the best television show I ever missed when it first came out. Major revelations!

Socialism is what they called public power.

Socialism is what they called social security.

Socialism is what they called the growth of free and independent labor organizations.

Socialism is their name for almost anything that helps all the people.

—Harry Truman, 1952
