Lust and the American Right.

Saw this video where Seth Rogen talks about how he learned that Donald Trump had sex with Stormy Daniels before he started his presidential run.  It is interesting as it talks about him cheating on his wife before he became a political force.  I have discussed the double standards of those on the right about the family values they claim to hold dear, but this was before allegations about Matt Gaetz, sex outside marriage, drug use and of course, the allegation that he had sex with someone under age.  One day, someone will explain they those concerned about family values vote and admire those who just pay lip service to them.   

13 Reasons Why; The Smile at the End of the Dock

This is my least favourite episode from series two.  It is still a good series, but not as good as the first. This episode undoes or rewrites a major issue from the first series.  Taken alone, ignoring the first series, this is a good episode, but it is not meant to be watched in isolation really as its context is lost.  The best bit of this episode is that the series is not as bad now, and also that I got to watch it with my son again!
