these are very wise (and very real) words. believe me.
Jeffrey Combs as Harriman Gray "Eyes"
I had forgotten Ade Edmondson was in this, but I recognized him immediately because this character is so much like his portrayal of the Red Baron in Blackadder Goes Forth.
Do you ever have moments that can be summed up by this image?
September Song - Sarah Vaughan
I can't help but think it would have been nicer to have been beautiful and talented and brilliant and self-destructive, instead of just self-distructive.
when writing an impoverished (usa) area in your story, sometimes it's like "Oh there is one grocery store and a McDonalds but we get by" and sometimes it's like "there isn't even a store anymore, only an independently owned drive thru with a tinny speaker system across the street from a blood bank" which, in fiction, is actually called a dystopia

I love this movie, and many of the actors in it, but I still prefer Alfred Hitchcock's silent 1927 version with Ivor Novello.
Saw some unkind comments on another site under pictures of a Black couple getting married at a former plantation house. My feeling is, it's like Jewish people making jokes about Hitler and the Holocaust. They get a free pass. In fact, former plantations that are still open as museums/ historical sites should provide free wedding venues for descendants of enslaved people.
I’ve only got three possible reactions to watching a TOS episode:
“I can’t believe this aired” (the worst plot you’ve ever seen on tv)
“I can’t believe this aired” (a piece of media so beyond its time and still relevant to today’s discussions, that I’m surprised it didn’t got censored at the time it went on air)
“I can’t believe this aired” (gay as fuck)

Is it just me or should prisoners work for free....? You're in prison because you committed crimes, some of them incredibly heinous and disturbing..... Why should we pay you for manual labor whilst in prison?
Because if you’re forced to do labour for free, that makes you an actual fucking slave.
Prisoners are human.
Humans have rights that must not be infringed upon.
and even if you somehow forgot that part, you're overlooking the part where adding economic incentive to incarcerate more people can and does lead to false arrests. there are lots of cases where judges got exposed for taking money under the table in exchange for lengthening prison sentences and sentencing people who would otherwise be found innocent. one guy in one of the carolinas was bribed to send as many Black kids as possible to a for-profit prison. he was quite literally selling children into slavery. they were not freed when he was caught and removed from the bench
I need people to realize that simply because it is called "the justice system" does not necessarily mean it is, in fact, just.
