Do you know how much CEO pay has skyrocketed since 1978?

100%? 500%?

Try 1,085%

Meanwhile, the $7.25/hr fed. minimum wage hasn't budged in 15 years and the tipped min. wage has been $2.13/hr since 1991.

This is what I mean when I say the system is rigged.

Some words I write in memoriam.
David Lynch: Memorializing the Mysteries - The Village Star-Revue
David Lynch sat in a strange seat of power during the 1990s. He had put a tale of psychic terror about a victimized cheerleader addicted to cocaine on network

really glad i got to see this magos herrera / paola prestini opera at the cloisters last week. here's some words i wrote.

Compelling new opera explores a 300-year-old feminist dream
At the center of this production is the centuries-old verse of Sor Juana Inés de la Cruz, the wondrous voice of Magos Herrera and a richly realized telling of the quest for knowledge.

negotiating icy pathways
in the not-quite-dark, while
knowing the way, with
90 percent certainty, while
still a little down with
a spell of influenza.
'take the outer road,'
i remember too late,
like the weary hero
in beckett's nosferatu.

the name is 'cryptocurrency,' ffs. does that even sound like an above-the-board and secure monetary system with a traceable support structure?

on an unrelated note, have you heard of this new company 'bankrobbr skimaskx'? they're so warm. everyone's wearing them. made of real ermine. online only.

A Bitcoin advocacy group pushing Trump to stockpile massive amounts of cryptocurrency is run by fossil fuel operatives fighting to eliminate environmental regulations, including the author of the Project 2025 proposal to dismantle the EPA.
Group Pushing Crypto Plan Is Tied to Project 2025, Fossil Fuel Operatives
The group’s plan to stockpile cryptocurrency would accelerate climate destruction — and taxpayers would foot the bill.

it's great to see a trans actor in a lead role playing a trans character in an altogether unexpected and exciting movie nominated for an oscar. but why isn't there a best female director award? maybe the academy can just get rid of gendered awards altogether. mtv did it ages ago.

the last time i even attempted a tp rewatch was, i think, 2015. i didn't finish it and i don't know why, but through fb posts i was able to track more or less where i left off, so i picked up again tonight. second half of season 2 is a weird way to memorialize lynch but here we are.

Now is the winter of our discontent
Made glorious summer by this sun of York;
And all the clouds that lour'd upon our house
In the deep bosom of the ocean buried.
Now are our brows bound with victorious wreaths;
Our bruised arms hung up for monuments;
Oh, out of characters
Only get 300; Peace out.
