It’s this bit that I think about all the time …

(ALT has text)
Henry Drummond: Can't you understand? That if you take a law like evolution and you make it a crime to teach it in the public schools, tomorrow you can make it a crime to teach it in the private schools? And tomorrow you may make it a crime to read about it. And soon you may ban books and newspapers. And then you may turn Catholic against Protestant, and Protestant against Protestant, and try to foist your own religion upon the mind of man. If you can do one, you can do the other. Because fanaticism and ignorance is forever busy, and needs feeding. And soon, your Honor, with banners flying and with drums beating we'll be marching backward, BACKWARD, through the glorious ages of that Sixteenth Century when bigots burned the man who dared bring enlightenment and intelligence to the human mind!

If you could commission one fictional character to fix the current US political problems, who would it be?

Who else could I pick really? 🤷‍♂️
Groucho Marx as Rufus T Firely in Duck Soup. A black and white photo of a man sitting at a desk, right arm on the desk and his head resting on his left hand, his left hand also holds a cigar, he has thick greasepaint eyebrows and mustache, small round glasses and his eyes are pointing up, as if he finds the whole world ridiculous, which it is.

What’s the coolest shit in movies?
A frame from the Talking Heads concert film Stop Making Sense, David Byrne is in foreground holing the mic in one hand and his other hand is raised, next too and behind him are two back up singers, they are standing with their backs arched, above them on a different level Of the stage are two keyboard players The stage is all black and smoking, but the performers are all bathed in spotlights and wearing light clothing The light gives them a halo effect

My younger brother is the kid all the way to the right

6 teenagers sitting on a couch in a living room in front of a set of windows, it’s dark outside, the heavy quilted curtain is halfway down, we called it the blast shield , it is the 80’s. We are about to go see Hall and Oates on the “Big Bang Boom” tour at Boston Garden. ‘Till Tuesday opened. I am in the far left wearing a white suit coat, black pants, white shirt and black leather tie. Right of me are three of my friends wearing winter coats. Sitting up in the back is my younger brother wearing a blue shirt and winter coat. Another friend of mine is sitting beneath him and wearing a fedora, sunglasses, black leather tie and a coat. Again I say , it was the 80’s And it was a fun night, honestly. Oh! My dad came with us to the concert. He had fun too.

“You’ve been kidnapped. The characters from the last TV show you watched are trying to rescue you. Who is coming to save you?”

Well I guess I’m probably fucked a little
Three people standing in a row in front of cream colored doors and flowered wallpaper , they are all looking offscreen to their right. Left to right it’s Steve Martin, Selena Gomez and Martin Short in a scene from “Only Murders in The Building.”

For whatever reason
It feels like a Hüsker Dü kind of morning
White letters in black background Lyrics to a Hüsker Dü song “Well, could you be the one they talk about? Oh, hiding inside, behind another door? Oh, is it only happiness you want? Does wanting a feeling matter any more? It doesn't mean that much to me, sometimes I don't mean that much to you And I don't even know what I'm hiding for And I don't even know what I'm crying for I don't even know what I'm hiding for I'm hiding inside I'm hiding inside”

Describe your in-person social skills with an image
A close up photo of Conan O’Brien , his red orange hair Curley cued like the top of a dairy queen ice cream cone , he looks uncomfortable words on image say “I’m living in shear terror all the time” For additional context this comes from his appearance in the show “Hot ones”

Consider:
Black and white photograph of the American comic actor and magician Carl Ballantine, he is wearing a short brimmed hat, has a cigar in his mouth and is wearing a gray suit with a stripped tie. He has a look in his face that suggests he is about to be up to some shenanigans.
