hey this is fucking crazy. the actual issues here are:
- college education has become too expensive
- salaries are not evolving to match cost of living
the issue is not that careers in the arts, cosmetology or social work arent worthy of pursuing.
More than 30 years ago, Mark Kermode promised Ken Russell that he would find the footage that censors deleted in 1971 from THE DEVILS.
On Saturday night, KEN RUSSELL’S THE DEVILS — the uncensored, restored director’s cut — premiered for the first time ever in the US.
In an interview with GQ about his political activism, actor Adam Brody goes on the record about his stance on Palestine:
"Put me down as thinking it's a genocide. Put me down as wanting a free Palestine. It's awful that it's taken so much death and misery, but it does feel like it's reaching a breaking point that it should have a while ago."

America is free only when the media is competitive, independent, and accountable to the people.
This merger strikes a chilling blow against that freedom — and hands even more power to billionaires like David Ellison to decide what Americans see and hear, all while lifting scrutiny off the federal leaders who pushed it through. I am grateful to Attorney General Tish James for the protections she secured for workers.
This decision is a shameful monument to corruption and a betrayal that the American people won't soon forget.

New: In late 2024, FBI investigators had enough evidence to launch a sweeping bribery probe that could ensnare top lawmakers, including Sen. Susan Collins. Then Trump was reelected and eviscerated the FBI and DOJ teams handling public corruption probes. https://t.co/oCahGd4lgY
Florida’s homeowners insurance market is broken. Here’s my plan to fix it:
Hurricane and wind risk can make up 60–70% of a homeowners insurance bill. So instead of forcing every Florida family to pay private insurers to take on that enormous risk:
• Florida creates one strong, state-backed hurricane fund.
• We build that fund to a financially sound level and buy backup insurance for catastrophic storms.
• We fund it by making insurance companies pay the taxes they currently avoid, along with other revenue sources that don’t put the burden back on homeowners.
• Private insurers no longer have to price as much hurricane risk into your policy, potentially cutting homeowners insurance costs by 60–70%.
Floridians don’t need yet another explanation for why insurance is so expensive.
We need a plan to fix it.
