What's Your Take?

 

Morning

Faithful Reader Ian would like us to have a discussion. He sent these two music AI-created music videos (which is a thing, I guess?)



and then poses the question:

"These cowboy songs perhaps hold the promise of replacing Dad jokes and enabling adult male talk among men via humour. 

It's even worse with women feeling they are the only ones deserving choice over sex and not understanding that every time a woman chooses not to have sex, they are also choosing for men, who get no independent choice of their own. There's a queue of men behind every woman waiting for them to say yes, but not the reverse, because men's sexual expression is currently tied to womens choice. That isn't to say we advocate for men overriding women's choice over sex, but men need to be able to make their own choice over sexual expression and have that fulfllled like every woman on this planet potentially can, if they only said yes, and this means breaking the monopoly women have over sex by making men aware of other possibilities that gay men have understood for ages because of need."






Well, I think women are becoming more sexually active, but they do get to decide --- like everyone should --- who they will engage with.



The old adage, 'Necessity is the mother of invention,' rings true, though. If men want sexual release or fulfillment, there are options, and having a male FWB has become more acceptable within mainstream society. Bisexuality has been accepted as "normal." Which, I think, may be why the evangelicals have been pushing back so intently.







What's your take, Readers?

FUSION

 A short film (7 minutes) by my buddy, produced in 2020 & released in 2021.



FUSION



It took a long time to get it made. The first five producers who were approached between 2012 and 2019 responded with, "That's old news, who cares?"

We should all care. We should never forget.

He donated it to the 9-11 Memorial Museum on the 20th anniversary, and it is now in the permanent artists' collection.

The Victims

 

Morning

Please lower your flags to half-mast to honor












***the victims in Colorado.***
and remember the victims of the 9-11-2001 attack.

Just Like That


Morning

Bam! The temps dropped overnight, and the wind cooled the water down significantly.


 And just like that.... Yesterday marked the end of pool season. 🥹
