I finally watched this film last year after hearing so much hype about the directors cut, and it was fine?

It's ugly and rotten-hearted to speak ill of the dead if they were a powerful politician who pushed constantly for war and misery. It's perfectly fine to speak ill of the dead if they were some nobody immigrant who was near a cop.
Every time I read a story about gynecology it's always something like "doctors discovered women could experience pain in 1989 but decided not to act on this knowledge for 20 years"

Tragic that Happy has had to die in a zoo rather than in a sanctuary, where she should have been moved to.
The New York Times@nytimes.com · 3mo agoHappy, a 55-year-old Asian elephant who had lived at the Bronx Zoo since 1977, has been euthanized, zoo officials said.

Really excited to announce that starting in the fall I'll be an assistant professor in the philosophy department at East Tennessee State University! So hit me up if you're ever in Appalachia!
