Books.... Are FUN vol. 0000000

The Sluts poses a series of questions. Is sex under capitalism inherently violent? What is the distinction between pornography and art? Cooper’s portrayals of rape, murder, and pedophilia have prompted many in the literary world to dismiss him as a transgressive writer. But in the age of COVID-19, in which a fatally inadequate health-care system and a crumbling infrastructure have led to widespread death and unemployment, this is literature that reckons with the violence of our dystopian epoch.

Awwww Yeah vol. 160

Despite the Southern setting, ALL IN THE SEX FAMILY was lensed on Long Island—and therein lay the legal issues. It was the first pornographic film lensed in Suffolk County, and featured shots of recognizable local streets and landmarks. When it played in the Pine Cinema in Coram, NY, the Suffolk County District Attorney’s office got wind of it, and in April 1974, 12 people involved with the movie were arrested on obscenity and conspiracy charges.

U.S.A.! U.S.A.! vol. 259

Not all who agitated for an end to the lockdowns think the pandemic is a hoax; most simply don’t care who it kills and are sick of staying home. The streets are full of people wearing masks around their necks, house parties are making a comeback, parents are scheduling secret playdates for their kids and crowds are flocking back to bars, as well as raucous events like Texas’ “Go Topless Jeep Weekend,” where almost 200 were arrested for petty crimes that had nothing to do with an overall failure to maintain social distance, which is too hard for cops to enforce anyway. This Jeepfest also included a shooting, because nothing says “fuck it” here like pulling a gun.

Negation Aspiration vol. 219

"Nearly 100 frank opinions every day. I couldn’t deny that I was hurt. I'm dead. Thank you for giving me a mother. It was a life I wanted to be loved. Thank you to everyone who supported me. I love it. I'm weak, 'm sorry. I don't want to be a human anymore. It was a life I wanted to be loved. Thank you everyone, I love you. Bye."
