I don't think even I imagined the moment when the utterly catastrophic failures of capitalism would be so stark, ubiquitous, and fucking stupid.
“I’ve been hearing that standards will be eliminated or severely cut back. Bari has told people that she wants to get rid of standards and is shocked that they have so much power. She also asked openly, ‘What’s the point of standards?’” one CBS source said.

Tonight in 1990 — Laura Palmer’s killer was revealed on TWIN PEAKS.
ABC insisted, and David Lynch + Mark Frost delivered a chilling episode.
