there's an episode of The Simpsons where Marge tries to get a violent cartoon pulled from the airwaves, only to discover that the people backing her aren't going to stop at just the art that *she* doesn't like, and that supporting artistic freedom means accepting discomfort.
It aired in 1990.

Obvious statement, but -- pretty much everybody already knows how to lead a happier, healthier life. Eat right, get sleep, work out, use less social media, be kind to yourself and others, be authentic and open, live mindfully and with love.
But *doing* it all? Consistently? That shit is so hard.

something I really appreciate about Pascal is that he's using his position - which is very secure, he's hugely successful and they're not going to throw away a bunch of money firing him - to be this outspoken
