forgot to mention a new episode of CultureScape👾

@Mangold_Lenett @FDRLST explains the dynamics at play & why conservatives don't cover culture or entertainment very well

#podcast @SonnyBunch @HollywoodInToto #mcu #starwars #mandalorian #filmtwitter
I know some people rag on the @FDRLST for their politically charged hot takes on entertainment,

But I've always stated I respect the Federalist
cuz they often alone of all conservative media willing to cover stories about entertainment & culture

thefederalist.com/2023/02/25/hol…
Culture by far most important part most people when relating to national news stories;

Movies, TV, Games, Music, Anime, etc
these are the thing that animate human lives & help us get through our day to day

Yet few in conservative media bother to write or talk about it
It was the amazing editor @madelineorr that let me write a review for the @FDRLST on the fantastic game Elden Ring last year;

How many other conservative sites discussed this YUGE game; as far as I could tell; 0

thefederalist.com/2022/03/09/why… #gamers #gaming #gamedev #eldenring
.@Mangold_Lenett & I discuss why conservatives complain so much about culture but continually fail to engage w/ it

perplexing for a lot of us who love culture, know others do as well yet so few in right-wing media bother to mention it

Culture & Entertainment are awesome,

Nerdery deserves much more attention than it gets from news media in general; but especially from the right side of the railroad tracks

for prescribers major problem is that though DEA have cut down some restrictions & opened up prescribing it still carries a high amount of risk for future DEA involvement

openings turn into traps; trying to get physicians to prescribe, screw nytimes.com/2023/03/03/us/…… twitter.com/i/web/status/1…
when the federal gov says U can prescribe something but still have to jump through hoops it establishes this is dangerous to handle

even if U reduce restrictions in terms of words on paper; if you don't reduce the legal risk to prescribers, the change isn't going to change much
Sure, the DEA may say U can now prescribe bupe to ur patients at ur addiction treatment center; but if it also means more future visits from the DEA; then, for most prescribers, it's a big pass

oh man I'm so dizzy😵‍💫
one of those things disability determinations fail to understand is how a disability can turn other facets of ur life into crap

e.g. my immune system sucks, I catch everything that passes by me

if a friend or family or stranger i meet gets sick I inevitably get sick too😢
At the moment I'm the main source for care & support for my grandma, so I am constantly putting myself in places to get myself sick, hospitals for example.

so i feel like since November i'm just sick with something all the time, colds, viruses, infections, etc

human nature to blame others w/ disabilities on some intrinsic force, such as they are making it up or did something to cause it

& blame our disability on external forces & therefore outside of our control

why we need to think these things through before gut judgment calls
Life is complicated, things can be really messed up,

unless you have reason to suspect otherwise I do recommend folks take a disabled person at their word in terms of their own health challenges
My grandma who was a rehab nurse for almost 4 decades has a good saying:

If there's a part of the human body
someone out there has that part broken

Few medical issues get officially diagnosed w/ sympathy to match

We should be kind cuz medical issues don't fit easily into boxes

No, this is wrong,

Anxiety disorders can be extremely disabling,
& they qualify for welfare assistance in most western countries

I've met people who cannot leave a single room in their apartment because of solely extreme anxiety disorder
Now is there a problem with Genz & tiktokers self-diagnosing anxiety disorders, yes, some social contagion going on

But that doesn't invalidate the millions of Americans with well-documented, officially diagnosed anxiety disorders as having those disorders control their lives
pls @ZaldanExtremist & anyone else,

do not confuse people with actual anxiety disorders to the weirdos that plague the internet

There are truly horrible mental illnesses out there, not everyone claiming to be bipolar or have Tourette's syndrome is making it up

Okay, I'm now up to the Deathly Hallows films
I think my fav film so far is Half-Blood Prince

it's the most film-like & still balances the "yar a wizard harry" aspect of the series with the serious dramatic tension.

Great film; I would actually watch it again.

Jim Broadbent plays Professor Slughorn & totally nails the role.

He is actually likable & relatable without the script telling you this is the guy you are supposed to like

He brings in the sense of a deeper philosophical world in Harry Potter & makes it feel more lived-in.
When people talk about the Harry Potter movies & the best talents, they rarely bring up Broadbent,

Usually, it's Gary Oldman or Alan Rickman, sometimes the 2 actors that played Dumbledore

But Broadbent's Slughorn holds my attention & makes me want to see more of that character.

I gotta go try to lay down now
this is making me much too angry
BTW, DEA is saying this will only apply to first time visits, that is garbage🗑️

We all know how this game is played, set a precedent & dare folks to cross the line.

line is now every visit needs a physical appointment for a prescription, the dare is to not do it every time
Guess what? Physicians aren't that stupid,

we all know what this means & it will mean fewer patients get to see a doctor & more abandoned patients not understanding how a cruel society can chuck them out like yesterday's garbage
