Thought I'd dip my toes in the water. Feel the temperature. You know, it doesn't help unite Americans to identify your new planet as BLUE. It's my side of the isle that tries to be color blind while your side clings to identity politics and preferential treatment under the label of affirmative action.

    come on in, Ms Writing Hood. the water's fine. I look forward to spirited, provocative exchanges that steer clear of being disrespectful or antagonistic.

    you're an interesting character, and "we're more alike than we are different," -- as politicians like to say these days.

    You acknowledge the absurdity of dividing Americans by color, yet you identify yourself as "Red" and on the "other side of the aisle." I do wish we could abandon the team colors, sides, and polarizing rhetoric.

    this site is "new blue" because blue skies and oceans are a key characteristic of a human habitable ecosystem (which we are rapidly losing).

    it is convenient for the Right to claim "color blindness" and dismiss affirmative action while the statistics still indicate a distinct bias in our society. But we'll more cleanly deal with those issues on another planet in the weeks ahead...

    glad to have you on board in the role of my alter-ego, Red

    OK. I'll play.

    excellent. And i see you're online now. I'll tell you what. Since you've behaved and boarded a ship for Newbl (in the colonoscopy thread), i,m thinking if we might become LOST IN SPACE we'll need our own Dr Smith. I'll upgrade your privileges. BUT in the interest of harmony aboard this ship, i'll ask that you refrain from getting into it with other members. Just engage me. Deal?

    i'm glad you recognize the role "privilege" plays in a society, Red.

    in your case, i like your spunk,
    and i accept my role as Captain Smirk (of the Starship Lucidity) to play off of your viewpoints.
    iow, i lean Pro(gressive), you lean Con(servative), (or kahn-servative, like in WRATH OF KAHN)

    Is there a problem with lift-off Captain V? I mean, Captain Smirk? Whichever you prefer.

    the problem is that we need to recruit a few more crew members. I did announce 2 new cyborg's. But where would we be without human error?

      Lindy ·
      In the pursuit of happiness does wealth fulfill that desire? Gatsby, a self-made millionaire whose obsessive love for a woman from a higher social class leads to his downfall. Gatsby embodies the corruption of this dream, believing that money can buy him love and happiness, only to find that it leads to a spiritual void.

      To start off this collection, i'd just like to give credit where credit is due. To announce, shall we say, a Lifetime Achievement Award to "Hollywood Liberals." After half a decade of being bashed for their "elite-ness," they and their colleagues all over the world deserve some love. Liberal writer's, actors, and directors have had key roles in moving society in the right direction. They've taken issues that were once black and white and converted them to living color--touching our hearts and mi

      The first inter-racial, inter-national, inter-planetary TV cast. Spock taught us think logically and its creator directed us to "boldly go" outside the box of our culture, traditions, country, and world. To tackle the ills of society by thinly disguising them on distant planets. With the aid of their transporter beam and some really cheap props the crew of the USS Enterprise managed to straighten out misguided societies ranging from Ancient Rome and gangster-land Chicago to Nazi Germany.

      A conspiracy theory classic. Not Left or Right. But eye opening. Provocative. Progressive. Some of the theories are highly questionable. But there's a jumbo popcorn box of uncommon truths to take in. I strongly encourage everyone to see the Zeitgeist films.

      George Orwell's dystopian classic, 1984, was neither Right or Left politically. It could be classified as a horror story to any political ideology besides authoritarian. Or, at least that's what everyone assumed until 2024! We were naive to assume that a repressive dictator constructing a police state would fly with any American. Who, knew, that post Hitler's Nazi Germany, it might ever be acceptable for an American President to depict himself wearing a crown and dumping poop on 7 million Americ

      V.3 ·
      A 22 minute morality play on your TV each week from 1959-1964. You thought you were watching pure science fiction but Rod Serling's voice-over in the end made sure you didn't miss the current day cultural message. Usually some lesson about the consequences of selfishness, greed, corruption, or prejudice. And though Serling always warned us we were "about to enter another dimension" we knew the location was never far from our own backyard. What's your favorite progressive episode?

      Once upon a time, peace signs and protest songs moved culture's compass. Liking the French and respecting the U.N. was "in." Jesus was still a liberal. Then the "we" generation bought stock in the company, the "me" generation was born, and there was cable TV in every room to amplify the influences of the latest pop culture and commercial profits on political ideology. The results are in. Values changed. The music changed. I'm not sure which came first. But looking back, it seemed like, after the

      Bruce Springsteen's newest song encapsulates the heart, soul, terror and tragedy of the current administration's war on America--specifically highlighting how Minneapolis is fighting back and standing up to the lawless, indecent actions directed at them. Bruce's lyrics shout out the reality of how the current administration's unlawful and inhumane actions are taking lives, ignoring laws, and eroding our sense of safety and humanity. I thank Bruce for putting his talent together with his activi

      sure, the first half is full of stories passed on by word-of-mouth for generations, including commandments set in stone -- and endorses throwing stones, and was heavily edited over centuries to suit societal norms of the day, and is still used to justify an assortment of discriminations -- and accusations of abominations, BUT... the star of the 2nd half is the most liberal historical character that ever walked on earth or water. it is the bio of a man who clearly was "his brother's keeper" and "

      interesting how this movie was wildly successful with such a liberal story line. But that's what movies were always good at -- conveying morality lessons disguised as entertainment apparently, in this case, millions of conservatives were entertained even if they didn't realize that it represented: The U.S. Army led by John Wayne getting its ass kicked by the Indians for trying to take over their land.

    • "The Body" From Different Seasons

      theoristima ·
      The passages of this story that inspired me were the ones that said that words sometimes "diminish" the thing they are talking about. King dealt with this problem admirably in this story. I run into that problem all the time when I am writing, be it an email, a personal note, or essay. It's a good thing we have other ways of expressing what needs to be said with other art forms including music and visual art. That's my two cents, and I'll close for now, so I don't do any more "diminishing."

      I stumbled upon this old gem several months ago and it ended up in my Spotify Top Five in 2025! I've always felt just okay about John Meyer, (usually hearing only his pop songs on the radio back when), but this bluesy live trio performance turned out to be a surprising favorite and a great listen from start to finish.

      This tale covers six decades of a Lebanese family in Beirut, Lebanon and is told through the eyes of, Raja, a 63 year old gay man sharing an apartment with his Mother. I can't tell you too much about the story because I fear it would be a plot spoiler, but Raja recounts the story of his life as a beloved local high school philosophy teacher and the trials and travails of coming of age in an often violent landscape. Often self isolating, Raja finds himself often being unwillingly pulled into rela
