The laughing priest checks out

Farewell, Father Barty Dunne. Of course, he was so much more to those who loved him, but Arthur and I will always be grateful for what he gave to our show.

My Dad Fergus died yesterday, most of you will know him as the Laughing Priest Father Barty Dunne from #FatherTed. He was also a wonderful singer who touched many people's hearts. Keep laughing and singing Dad, we love you💜🎵

Get it watched: The Deuce

The Deuce is worth your time. Over three series, its had a few dips (I could have done without the episode about a central character running a laundrette, for example) but for the most part, it’s a fascinating and convincing social history of New York, centred around the eponymous bar in Times Square and the hookers, pimps, hustlers, police and mafia essential to the dark economy of the city at that time.

I was a little concerned that it was going down a simplistic libfem ‘sex work is work’ route but in the final series it really turned around. There are a few episodes that shift focus to the reality of the porn industry in LA and they are powerfully sad and horrible. Also, I was delighted to see Andrea Dworkin turn up in only slightly-disguised form.

So, yeah, get it watched. Great show.

Is this a woman? Please explain your answer. This essay question is worth 100% of your basic humanity course.

In the 1800s, British & American females fought for public restrooms so they would be able to exist outside of the household. In 2020, females in India, Bangladesh & many other countries are still restricted to their homes all day b/c there are no bathrooms for them in public.

I'm supposed to have a phone call with a woman in prison this week. She has Steve Mehlenbacher on sexual assault charges. I've been talking to her elderly mother and let me tell ya those conversations have been heartbreaking listening to her tell me what he did to her daughter.
