Billionaires would rather do this than pay taxes.
I had such a blast listening to #JonRonson 's #TheCastle that I wrote about it. I even got a Monty Python reference in. The Castle is not about glamorizing men behaving like misogynistic monsters but rather about deindustrialization, inequality, and unregulated social media/AI chatbots. #BookSky

"They’re societies in which women’s rights to bodily and social self-determination are respected, and a man who violates those rights would face severe consequences. “Rape-prone cultures treat rape as an entitlement in a system that revolves around masculine contests and hierarchies.” "
We live in a rape-prone society. The horrific Cornell case reveals what that looks like | Rebecca Solnit
Public outcry to punish the alleged perpetrators in the Cornell case misses the point – the only solution is political, legal and cultural equality of women

There is no moral equivalence between bullies and the bullied, between tyranny and democracy, or between brutality and decency. No individual can be free in a society devoid of justice. There can be no liberty where brutality reigns.
Deadloch is one of the funniest shows I’ve ever watched. It kept me in suspense, too. Showrunners Kate McLennan and Kate McCartney gave us a masterclass in genre and tone. I dare you not to laugh at this fan supercut of the weirdest moments of season 1. #TVSky #WomenInTV #AussieTV #DarkComedy

I know there is a hell of a lot going on right now. But not all of it is bad. Some is astonishingly good - like the results of this study from June. Cervical cancer is a terribly cruel thing. This might, at long last, be the beginning of the end of it. www.bbc.co.uk/news/article...
