if missing search : “an escalator can never break – mitch hedberg: comedy central”
mitch hedberg’s comedy is not for everyone, but neither is a martini. a very different kindda humor. very stupid but often very profound. rest in peace brother. mitch often joked about drugs, it kindda dark that mitch died at the young age 37 because of those same drugs… and self induced gun-shot to the head. by xy

“on april 9th, 1948, a month before israel declared independence, just over one hundred residents of deir yassin were massacred by members of two militant zionist groups – lehi and irgun – as part of an effort to cleanse the area of its arab population. the next day, albert einstein wrote the following passionate letter” pictured above:
“…i’m not willing to see anybody associated with those misled and criminal people” letter from einstein to american friends of the fighters for the freedom of israel. reference from letters of note.
albert einstein was german of jewish decent and staunchly opposed to the policies of the nazi government. he renounced his german citizenship and permanently relocated to the united states, becoming an american citizen in 1940. though he held a generally positive view of his newly adopted country’s culture and values, he frequently objected to the systematic mistreatment of black people.
albert einstein had a complex relationship with israel and zionism. while he believed in the early stages of socialist zionism he rejected the establishments of jewish state in palestine and exclusion of its arab residents.
in 1952 einstein was offered the presidency of israel but declined. einstein supported the idea of a jewish homeland where jews could live in peace, and a way to resettle jews from the mistreatment of europeans, in the middle east. but einstein opposed the creation of “a jewish state” flagging concerns with its arab residents. he was opposed to the idea of a jewish state “with borders, an army, and a measure of temporal power”. he was against nationalism, and felt that the creation of “a jewish state” went against his values.
he testified before the “anglo-american inquiry commission on palestine” and he supported a bi-national status in palestine with free immigration. einstein condemned the massacre at deir yassin and called, the zionist leader and founder of likud party, menachim begin (who later became the 6th prime minister of israel serving form 1977-1983) a fascist. in large einstein favoured the principles of socialism, asserting that it was an ideological system that fixed what he perceived as the inherent societal shortcomings of capitalism.” lot to digest more sources to read. by xy
porn actress stoya explains how she navigates the dating world while working as a high-profile sex worker… see our other post on her…
disclaimer: we are super cool, all is good with us, you go rock it, but…. we clearly do not recommend porn as a future career, no matter who says what. having sex with a stranger you may not like for money is just fucked up shit. now if you feel you have no other talents and you gonna end up on the streets or married to a fat asshole with a ferrari (insert; georgina chapman and harvey weinstein) then sure, go do what you gotta do, but just remember its one of the last option,
correction: i am told harvey weinstein never owned a ferrari – oh well… probably cuz he couldn’t get his fat ass through the door. by lb

canon USA presents behind the scenes sugarcane movie documentary
film review
a stunning tribute to the resilience of native people and their way of life, SUGARCANE, the debut feature documentary from julian brave noisecat and emily kassie, is an epic cinematic portrait of a community during a moment of international reckoning. in 2021, evidence of unmarked graves was discovered on the grounds of an Indian residential school run by the catholic church in canada.
after years of silence, the forced separation, assimilation and abuse many children experienced at these segregated boarding schools was brought to light, sparking a national outcry against a system designed to destroy indigenous communities. set amidst a groundbreaking investigation, SUGARCANE illuminates the beauty of a community breaking cycles of intergenerational trauma and finding the strength to persevere. by ts
