It's A Wonderful Live was a box office disappointment in its day. Now, almost 80 years later, people still dive deep into it and write thoughtful essays like this about it. It's a wonderful and enduring work of art is what it is.
This is an almost shockingly wise essay. I'm glad I've finally read it.
There Is No Mary Problem in ‘It’s a Wonderful Life’
George’s vision of his wife without him is essential to the film, but critics continue to miss its true—and profound—meaning.

it's just so emblematic of what passes for conservative thought, this belief that their children go to college not to leave ignorance behind by learning from experts, but rather to teach the experts from their locus of ignorance, and to have their nonsensical prior assumptions validated as true

I'll think I'm used to seeing men wield sexual violence as a tool to reinforce their power, but it still manages to take my breath away. That's how I felt reading Epstein's letter to Larry Nassar about Trump. It's so transparent. So sick and twisted. And it's tolerated by far too many.

I fuckin knew it. I *knew* these numpties would know fuckall about effective digital redaction.
It is. You can actually search visible text on the redacted documents and the completely UNredacted document appears in the results 😭

I don’t mean to sound extreme, but I don’t think we should have torture camps for people with criminal records either.

So apparently there are many Epstein files on the DOJ website where you can highlight the redacted text, copy it, and paste it onto another document to read the redactions

I'm not happy that Trump's DOJ is flagrantly ignoring the federal law that requires the release of the Epstein files.
But.
I might be a little *relieved* that they are. I don't think I have it in me right now for that whole boss fight.
