Sums it up perfectly. Hair Hitler never gave a shit about working people, affordability, inflation or any of that. It was just cynical and performative shit to get votes. And it worked to perfection. #trumpIsALiarAndAFraud #affordability

I did an interview with Mashable about #Pillion, discussing how kink is often represented in popular media. It's a great short contextual insight that you can watch here: mashable.com/video/romcom...
Are mainstream films finally getting BDSM right?
Pillion and Babygirl are some of the most recent examples of kink representation in mainstream cinema. But how did BDSM become romcom material?

Following up on my viewing of FROM HELL (2001).
I cannot comment on how this adapts the graphic novel, but I quite liked the film, which is visually quite sumptuous and overall well performed, with Ian Holm in particular being a stand out...though I think that the MVPs here are the Hughes bros.

For most of my life being a kinkster has meant resistance.
Today it means also rebellion.
Rebellion against technocapitalism.
Rebellion against racism and supremacism.
Rebellion against this betrayal to the promise of freedom and dignity America should represent.
Rise up.

Time to stop writing articles about the "security" or "economic" reasons to capture Greenland, they are irrelevant
Not everyone believed me when I wrote that Trump wants Greenland becuase it would make him feel important, but that's what he told the NYT:
When asked why he needed to possess the territory, he said: “Because that’s what I feel is psychologically needed for success"
