AU's Top Ten Of 2021: Protecting Church-State Separation In The Courts
Dec 23, 2021 by Rob Boston
Editor's Note: The year 2021 was full of ups and downs – for the country, and for church-state separation. As the year draws to a close, we're looking back at the top 10 church-state stories, how Americans United rose to the challenge to defend religious freedom and what's on the horizon for 2022.
There's no denying that advocates of church-state separation face rough sailing before the U.S. Supreme Court these days. But through our cases, friend-of-the-court briefs, educational campaigns and coalition efforts, Americans United is making sure our perspective is heard.
Three cases with church-state overtones are pending before the high court. All present threats to the church-state wall:
Dobbs v. Jackson Women's Health Organization: This case, which concerns the legality of a Mississippi law that bans abortions after 15 weeks, could have a seismic effect. Christian nationalist groups are urging the court to use the case to undermine or even overturn Roe v. Wade, the landmark 1973 ruling that established a right to legal abortion. The case was argued Dec. 1, and AU President and CEO Rachel Laser spoke at a rally outside the court to stress the connection between attacks on religious and reproductive freedom. The day after the arguments, AU's National Organizer and Student Network Manager Alicia Johnson moderated an online panel discussion about the case with experts from the Center for Reproductive Rights and SHERo Mississippi. AU and other groups filed a friend-of-the-court brief in the case, arguing that overturning Roe would stoke interfaith discord. (AU has a long history of supporting reproductive rights. Read about it here.)
Carson v. Makin: In rural areas without public high schools, Maine pays for students to attend private schools instead. This program now requires those schools to provide the equivalent of public education, not religious education. The court will decide if Maine's taxpayers must subsidize religious instruction as well. Oral arguments took place Dec. 8. AU filed a friend-of-the-court brief arguing that Maine's policy of not providing government funding for private religious instruction is in line with long-standing Supreme Court precedent that states can protect their taxpayers' religious freedom by refraining from funding distinctly religious activities – including religious instruction. AU's Laser moderated an online panel discussion with experts from the National Federal of Teachers and BJC to analyze the case.
Shurtleff v. Boston: Officials in Boston have flown secular flags at city hall to mark certain special events when requested by private groups. A Christian nationalist group demanded that city officials fly the Christian flag; they sued when the city refused. AU's Legal Department filed a brief in this case yesterday, arguing that the city has no obligation to hoist the Christian flag. Oral arguments will occur Jan. 18.
The Supreme Court may add more church-state cases to its docket. In Washington state, a high school football coach is insisting that he has a right to pray with players and other students on the field after games. Americans United is representing the school district in this case, Kennedy v. Bremerton School District. And in Gordon College v. Deweese-Boyd, AU represents a professor of social work at a Christian liberal arts college in Massachusetts who was denied a promotion after disagreeing with the school's policies on LGBTQ rights.
Americans United was active in lower courts in 2021 as well. We and our allies won an important decision in a case dealing with a Colorado man on parole whose First Amendment religious freedom rights were violated when he was sent back to jail after he refused to take part in worship services, Bible studies, and religious counseling mandated by his parole officer. We also reached a settlement in a long-running case in Kentucky challenging unwanted religious proselytization and discrimination in state-funded foster care programs.
Finally, as we noted recently, AU worked hard in 2021 to ensure that the nation's response to the COVID pandemic was based on sound public health policy, and we opposed efforts by some religious groups to use a dangerous definition of religious freedom that exposes others to harm.
Every court, from local jurisdictions all the way up to the Supreme Court, needs to hear that only separation of church and state can protect religious freedom for all. With your help, Americans United will continue to share that message.

Texas rural schools wary of state money to private schools
by: Phil Prazan
AUSTIN (KXAN) — Monday, public school advocates challenged supporters of a new "school choice" proposal, Education Savings Accounts. Thousands of Texans are expected to descend on the Capitol Tuesday to push lawmakers to give the state funding per child — around $5,500 — over to parents to decide their educational route.
It's "National School Choice Week" and the Coalition for Public Schools wanted to push the alternative side before the big rally.
"We need to focus on properly and adequately funding our current public school system. I think we're in a position in Texas where we shouldn't be looking at funding two separate school systems when we need to focus on funding one quality school system, which is where the vast majority of our students attend," said Dr. Charles Luke from the President of the Coalition for Public Schools.
In an idea expected to be filed as a bill this week, money could be used to home school children or tuition for private, parochial or charter schools. Many parents say it would give them more freedom, but rural districts across the state fear the idea.
Superintendent of Granger ISD Randy Willis runs a district of 438 students. For more than 100 years it's been the soul of the town. "I like to say we're a private school with a public school education because we have about 12 to 13 per class," said Superintendent Willis.
Report: No school choice measures in Texas without accountability
School districts are funded by local property tax dollars. Property-wealthy districts pay mostly for their own district while property-poor districts get a funding boost from the state. If the state gives out public money to private schools Willis fears the pot of state money will shrink and less money will be available to boost rural districts like his. "If I added more taxes to it, I wouldn't get that much money anyway. So it becomes really an equity issue," said Willis.
But the soon to be filed Senate Bill 3 has many senators lined up looking to co-sponsor the idea. Education Savings Accounts would act similar to Health Savings Accounts where Texans opting into the program will be issued a card worth $5,500 to be spent on educational materials or tuition.
"What these programs do is focus on the student, what's best for the student, not what's best for the bureaucracy," said Sen. Don Huffines, R-Dallas.
The senator says Education Savings Accounts will improve rural districts by adding competition to a places with few options. "If there is a demand for private schools in rural areas and these students aren't being served, then I think a private school will spring up," said Sen. Huffines.
It's one of the hottest debates this session and the biggest push back comes from schools who've been in their communities for decades, in Granger's case, more than a hundred years.
"This is what we do," said Superintendent Willis. "They like these small roots. So it's extremely important that we continue to provide this high quality education in our rural settings."
Republicans from rural Texas districts have rarely supported such ideas as Education Savings Accounts. The idea is being pushed heavily by the Texas Senate.
A rally in support of Education Savings Accounts is scheduled for Tuesday morning at the Capitol. More than 4,000 people are expected to attend along with Lt. Gov. Dan Patrick and Gov. Greg Abbott.

Technical glitches confuse those waiting for a COVID-19 vaccine during Austin Public Health rollout
by John Engel / Jan 15, 2021
AUSTIN (KXAN) --- Sen. Ted Cruz, R-Texas, will attend President-elect Joe Biden's inauguration on Jan. 20, sources tell KXAN.
Cruz defended President Donald Trump's claim that the 2020 presidential election was fraudulent and volunteered to argue Texas' failed lawsuit challenging election results in four battleground states before the Supreme Court.
by Alex Caprariello / Jan 15, 2021
AUSTIN (KXAN) -- Assessments delivered through the Texas Education Agency show that students may have experienced a nearly six-month learning loss directly related to the COVID-19 pandemic and standard summer academic slide.
The TEA offered school districts optional end-of-year (EOY) assessments at the closure of the spring 2020 semester and beginning-of-year (BOY) assessments at the start of the fall 2020 semester. The TEA wanted to provide a tool schools administrators can reference to measure student progress and plan curriculums.

All Scripture is inspired by God and profitable for teaching, for reproof, for correction, for training in righteousness; so that the man of God may be adequate, equipped for every good work (2 Tim 3:16-17).
Simon Peter answered Him, "Lord, to whom shall we go? You have words of eternal life. We have believed and have come to know that You are the Holy One of God." (John 6:68-69).
Bart Ehrman is an atheist, but he's a scholar of the New Testament and he teaches courses on Christianity at the University of North Carolina at Chapel Hill. He has a little exercise he likes to do with his introductory students, and it's something I would like to run with you right now.
Question 1: Do you believe the Bible is the inspired word of God, that God caused the Bible to be written so that he can tell humanity about himself?
Question 2: Have you read the Bible? Not just bits and pieces, but the whole Bible.
You believe that God wrote a book. And you haven't read it?
Some people have an easy time reading the Bible. Some people just automatically take a lot of joy about reading it. Day in and day out, they read the Bible. They love it.
For others, though, reading the Bible is a chore.
I think those of us in the latter group (because it totally can be a chore for me, too. Being a pastor doesn't change what you find interesting or easy to read) were probably raised Christian. This is a hunch; I don't have statistical data to back it up. It's a trend I've noticed in the people around me. I could be way off base.
But it seems to me that the majority of us who have a hard time reading the Bible consistently, who don't always eagerly desire to read God's Word, were raised around the Bible.
There are probably a number of reasons for it. Familiarity breeds contempt, as they say—perhaps a lot of us don't find it easy to give the Bible its proper respect and attention because we were just raised with the Bible always being around. It doesn't seem that special in your mind.
Another could be childhood association. I know that, for me, church was boring as a kid. When someone started reading the Bible, I knew the sermon was about to start and it was time to take a nap (or, to keep myself from fidgeting, doing origami). The Bible was presented as dry and dusty, not flowing with living water. And for me, at least, that's been a hard mentality to shake. The impressions you make as a kid are often the hardest impressions to change because they're so deeply ingrained into your worldview.
But whatever your reasons, you have to get over them.
There's no way around it. You just have to get over it.
Do you believe that the Bible is God's Word, God revealing himself to you? If you really believe that, why wouldn't you want to read it?
But let's face it; the Bible isn't always the most interesting literature to read. Or the easiest. Take for example genealogies. That's drier than plain white toast, if you're just reading the words. So let's look at a few ways you can help yourself.
1. What translation are you using? Some translations are more academic than others. Some are drier than others.
You probably shouldn't try using the King James Version for your daily reading, since King James English isn't your English. You're reading something in a foreign language that's close enough for you to understand (for the most part. Word meanings have changed over the past 500 years, and some are completely gone), but that doesn't mean it's not exhausting to read. So find a translation that you find easy to read.
Some easy-to-read translations would be the Message, the New Living Translation and the New International Version.
2. Now that you have a translation that you can read without getting stressed out and watching Netflix for three hours to decompress, try picturing what you're reading. Put yourself in the shoes of the people you're reading about and try to experience it from their perspective.
If you're reading Luke 1:26-38, put yourself in Mary's position. You're a teenage girl (Mary was probably a teenager at the time) engaged to a man your family has gotten to know. One night, an angel visits you and gives you a weird greeting, then tells you that God is going to make you pregnant—not by your future husband after you're married, but by the Holy Spirit before you're married. And not only that, your child will be the Messiah everyone's been waiting for and a bunch of people in the area is starting to claim to be.
How do you feel? What are you thinking? Try to experience it from Mary's perspective. Then do the same from Gabriel's perspective. And then try it from God's perspective—what does God feel when he looks at Mary?
Do this whenever you read a passage. God will always be one of the characters involved, by the way, so always try to experience it from God's perspective, too. Doing this helps the Bible to come alive. It helps you switch from just reading the words of the Bible to experiencing the Bible.
3. Do some homework on your passage. Don't be afraid to look stuff up. This can help even with those dreaded genealogies—who exactly were all those people? You can find out a lot that will make the Bible more real to you.
Those are just three small things you can do. Try them out!
Read what God wrote you!


J Bacteriol. 2013 Dec;195(24):5555-66. doi: 10.1128/JB.00900-13. Epub 2013 Oct 11.

Approximately 50% of cell wall peptidoglycan in Gram-negative bacteria is recycled with each generation. The primary substrates used for peptidoglycan biosynthesis and recycling in the cytoplasm are GlcNAc-MurNAc(anhydro)-tetrapeptide and its degradation product, the free tetrapeptide. This complex process involves ∼15 proteins, among which the cytoplasmic enzyme ld-carboxypeptidase A (LdcA) catabolizes the bond between the last two l- and d-amino acid residues in the tetrapeptide to form the tripeptide, which is then utilized as a substrate by murein peptide ligase (Mpl). LdcA has been proposed as an antibacterial target. The crystal structure of Novosphingobium aromaticivorans DSM 12444 LdcA (NaLdcA) was determined at 1.89-Å resolution. The enzyme was biochemically characterized and its interactions with the substrate modeled, identifying residues potentially involved in substrate binding. Unaccounted electron density at the dimer interface in the crystal suggested a potential site for disrupting protein-protein interactions should a dimer be required to perform its function in bacteria. Our analysis extends the identification of functional residues to several other homologs, which include enzymes from bacteria that are involved in hydrocarbon degradation and destruction of coral reefs. The NaLdcA crystal structure provides an alternate system for investigating the structure-function relationships of LdcA and increases the structural coverage of the protagonists in bacterial cell wall recycling.
Structure comparisons. NaLdcA (A) superimposes on PaLdcA (PDB ID 1zrs; sequence identity of ∼20%) (B) with an RMSD of ∼2.4 Å over 254 Cα atoms. NaLdcA superimposes on MccF (PDB ID 3gjz; sequence identity of ∼16%) (C) with an RMSD of ∼2.5 Å over 242 Cα atoms. The small gap from residues 158 to 161 in NaLdcA corresponds to a long insertion in PaLdcA (residues 173 to 185; green) and a longer insertion in MccF (residues 166 to 204; red). A part of this insertion in MccF (residues 168 to 195) forms a flap that partially covers and restricts access to the substrate-binding cavity, which could have important consequences. Both PaLdcA and MccF also have longer C-terminal extensions (cyan and orange, respectively) than that of NaLdcA.
Residue conservation analysis. The surface representation of NaLdcA is color coded (magenta, most conserved; cyan, most variable) according to amino acid conservation based on comparison to 9 other proteins annotated as either putative LdcA enzymes or proteins of unknown function, with sequence identities of 35 to 95% compared to NaLdcA. (A) The left panel (same view as in ) shows that one side of NaLdcA has more highly conserved residues in and around the putative active site than the other side (right panel, viewed at 180° around a vertical axis from the left panel). (B) Stick representation of the most conserved residues, which include Asp52, Arg55, Tyr78, Arg82, Ser104, Asp105, Asn167, Leu174, Thr177, Glu191, Val193, Glu195, Tyr198, Asp201, Arg202, His261, and Arg248. The Ser104-Glu191-His261 catalytic triad is shown in blue.
Model of protein-ligand complex and conservation of putative functional residues. (A) The binding of NaLdcA to the ligand GlcNAc-MurNAc-l-Ala-γ-d-Glu-meso-A2pm-d-Ala (PDB ligand ID MLD, from PDB ID 2cb3) was modeled such that the carboxy-terminal d-Ala is positioned for catalysis near the active site Ser-His-Glu triad. The molecular orientation is similar to that in , and the helices are labeled. (B) Magnified view of the binding site. Oxygen atoms from the carboxylate groups of A2pm and d-Glu of the ligand are superimposed on the two sulfate ions (SO4-274 and SO4-276, respectively) present in the substrate-binding pocket and present similar interactions to the active site residues Arg75 and Glu195, thereby suggesting that the sulfate ions mimic portions of the substrate. (C) Sequence logo representation of relative frequencies of occurrence of residues in NaLdcA and other homologs, obtained using Weblogo (; http://weblogo.berkeley.edu/). The same set of proteins and multiple-sequence alignment listed in were used in this analysis. Panels A, B, and C represent different sequence ranges in the enzyme.
Comparison of manual and computational ligand docking. In order to validate the manual docking shown in , the ligand was also subjected to computational docking using Glide (version 5.7; Schrödinger, LLC, New York, NY). Of the 8 docked ligand conformations, 6 were compatible with manual docking in terms of general location and orientation. A stereoview of the manually docked ligand (red) and the 4 closest matches (magenta, yellow, blue, and green) from the Glide docking results is shown in stick representation. The orientation of the protein (gray) is similar to that in .
Potential site for modulating protein-protein interaction. An unidentified ligand (UNL) at the NaLdcA dimer interface (monomers are shown in yellow and beige) reveals a novel binding site that could be targeted for modulating oligomerization and activity of LdcA enzymes. A close-up of this site shows the residues that were found to interact with the ligand. Glu195 is highly conserved in other homologs as displayed in . Arg202 and His206 are also conserved as displayed in . A combination of highly conserved and less-conserved residues at this site suggests that it could be explored for the design of a general LdcA dimer inhibitor whose properties could be modified for individual LdcA proteins.

n The Los Angeles Dodgers turn to Juan Pierre as Manny's replacement in left field. Not known for his hitting prowess, Pierre's somehow batting above .400 so far. No way that lasts, but the regular playing time at least gives him more opportunity to hone his real craft, stealing bases. Pierre swiped 40 bags in just 119 games last year and could easily eclipse that now.
n Power-hitting prospect Matt LaPorta, the Cleveland Indians' big prize in last year's CC Sabathia trade, has arrived in the majors and clocked his first big league homer last week. There will be some inconsistencies from the young outfielder, as with all inexperienced hitters, but LaPorta's a cheap source of home runs and a definite grab in keeper leagues.
n Melky Cabrera has overtaken Brett Gardner as the New York Yankees' primary center fielder. The Melk Man's attitude and focus were questioned during a dismal 2008, but he seems like a new man this year and has shown surprising power (four homers in 69 at-bats, compared to eight HRs in 414 ABs a year ago) while hitting above .300. The power's probably a bit of a fluke, but Cabrera's still developing as a hitter and could be useful this year in average and RBIs, especially if he can stay in the Yanks' lineup.
n Underrated Baltimore Orioles 3B Melvin Mora's long been a fantasy secret weapon, offering a decent blend of average, RBIs and homers. You never quite know what to expect, but the 37-year-old has recovered from a hamstring injury and is ready to contribute on a waiver wire near you.
n Florida Marlins prospect Chris Coghlan has been touted as the team's second baseman of the future, but the Fish plan to use him mostly in left field after last week's call-up. Coghlan was hitting .344 with 22 RBIs in 25 games at Triple-A. If he hits like that at the big league level, they'll play him anywhere they can.
n St. Louis Cardinals OF Chris Duncan has at least 20 homers in him and stands to earn even more at-bats after Rick Ankiel's recent injury. Duncan should also be eligible at first base in most leagues, which makes him more intriguing.

Buckeye Lake man pleads guilty to running home improvement scams LANCASTER – A Buckeye Lake man pleaded guilty Friday to stealing more than $30,000 from a family through three home ... Check out this story on coloradoan.com: http://noconow.co/1g9ZIes
Spencer Remoquillo, Reporter Published 6:58 a.m. MT March 29, 2014
LANCASTER – A Buckeye Lake man pleaded guilty Friday to stealing more than $30,000 from a family through three home improvement scams in 2009 and 2010.
Shawn M. Delong, 32, changed his not guilty plea to guilty in Fairfield County Common Pleas Judge Chris Martin's courtroom after Yukiko Yee, of the Ohio Attorney General's Office, dismissed four of the original eight theft-related charges levied against him.
Delong pleaded guilty to lesser charges of two counts of theft, fifth-degree felonies; theft, a fourth-degree felony; and theft from an elderly person, a third-degree felony.
Yee and Delong's attorney, William Holt, told Martin they came to a joint sentencing recommendation that includes 23 months in prison and more than $31,000 in restitution to be paid to the family.
To meet requirements of the joint recommendation, Delong must pay $6,000 before his sentencing date or face more time in prison.
This sentencing recommendation will be considered by the judge, but Martin is not required to accept it. Martin will set a separate sentencing hearing in August, which will give time for Delong to pay restitution.
Delong was arrested on a warrant from the Fairfield County Sheriff's Office in November in Millersport.
The first incident occurred March 25, 2009, when Delong received more than $16,000 in payment from a woman for a home improvement project that officials said never was started. Delong is accused of taking an additional $6,000 from the same woman two months later on May 28, 2009. In June 2009, that woman also gave Delong another payment of $2,000.
Delong also made a business transaction with one of the first reported victim's family members, who is elderly. According to Delong's indictment, he is accused of stealing nearly $8,200 from the family member he also agreed to work for. The work agreed upon reportedly never happened.
Delong was working under his business, Delong Builders and Remodelers, which operated in Lancaster and Columbus.
This is the second time Delong has been convicted of stealing from the elderly through home improvement scams.
Nearly two years ago, Delong was indicted for stealing more than $10,000 from an elderly Groveport couple in January 2012, according to Ohio Attorney General Mike DeWine's office. That incident occurred in 2009 and also involved the promise of a home improvement job. Delong was supposed to replace the couple's roof after a storm but never did.
Delong also pleaded guilty to this third-degree felony theft charge and was sentenced to 44 days in jail and two years of probation.

The Rabbi's Cat: Shabbat Shekalim- Where's Your Shekel Going?
Zeh yitnu kol ha'oveir al ha'p'kudim machatzit ha'shekel b'shekel ha'kodesh esrim geirah ha'shekel machatzit ha'shekel t'rumah lA-donai.
Shabbat Shekalim is the first of four special Shabbatot read in the weeks leading up to Nisan, two in the weeks before Purim and two following Purim. On each of these Shabbatot we read a special maftir [the additional reading added to the seven Shabbat aliyot, preceding the haftarah] and a special haftarah.
On Shabbat Shekalim the special maftir aliyah tells of the extra shekalim that were collected for the building and upkeep of the Mishkan in the desert and later the Temple in Jerusalem. One half-shekel, all households equal, numbered by the heads available for military duty. This tax was used to ensure the building of the Mishkan and later for upkeep and to refill the herds and flocks of animals kept for sacrifices in the Temple.
The haftarah recounts a time in the reign of King Yehoash when the money coming into the Temple seemed not to be enough for general repairs. In a time before transparency in business and charitable organizations, he set up a new system to ensure proper use of the taxes, and care for the Temple and its grounds. Money beyond the money for sacrifices was collected. Additional funds were used for communal purposes: providing salaries for judges, additional Temple maintenance and hiddur [beautification], as well as repair and maintenance to the city walls and the roads leading to Jerusalem in preparation for the thousands of pilgrims who would come to the Temple for Pesach, Shavuot, and Sukkot.
Shabbat Shekalim is still a reminder of our communal obligations. Two of the mitzvot of Purim are to give gifts to each other and to the needy. Today there are many ways to give. Support the synagogue. Dedicate a gift in honour of a friend to represent the half-shekel of our maftir. Look beyond our walls to the communal need. Support Israel. However, as King Yehoash did, do not give randomly. Know where your money is going and what you are supporting. Find an organization that supports the Israel you want to see? Perhaps that is a green Israel. Look to JNF. Perhaps it is an Israel that provides dignity to its elders or its needy. Try Yad L'Kashish. Perhaps it is an Israel where all Jews can equally practice Judaism as they see fit. Donate to Canadian Foundation for Masorti Judaism in Israel and join MERCAZ-Canada.
On this Shabbat we are reminded that our hearts, our thoughts, and our pocketbooks, whatever we can give, should be focused both at our local home and towards our greater one- Israel.

Some of Us Can't Breath With Masks and What Is A Lobotomy?
Dr. Antonio Egaz Moniz even shares the same first name as Dr. Anthony Fauci.
The man in the first photo above has a strong resemblance to the infamous Dr. Anthony Fauci. Besides the physical resemblance, and the same first name, they're both psychopaths in the field of medicine, and both considered to be the best and brightest at the top of their professions, the late Dr. Moniz even a recipient of the Nobel Prize. Who is this man Dr. Anthony Moniz and what is he famous for?
He's famous for inventing and promoting lobotomies. A Lobotomy is now called Psychosurgery, which tells us that they are still being "performed". Appropriately named, only a real Psycho would perform psycho-so-called-"surgery" on a helpless victim. It's nothing short of murderous violence.
The lobotomy is a type of neurosurgery, or surgery performed on the brain. Doctors perform a lobotomy by severing the connections between the frontal lobes, or prefrontal cortex, and the rest of the brain. No excuse justifies doing this to anyone.
Why target the prefrontal cortex? Because it handles complex functions in the brain, the executive functions. This includes higher-level decision making and planning, reasoning and understanding, personality expression, creativity and behaving in a "socially acceptable way". The prefrontal cortex is connected to the thalamus, which receives and relays sensory signals that involve the axons and myelin sheaths that we're studying because these are precisely what is damaged by the oxygen deprivation that results from mask wearing.
The brain is composed of two different types of matter: gray and white. Gray matter includes the neurons along with their blood vessels and extensions. White matter includes the axons that carry messages through electrical impulses.
A lobotomy, intended to sever the connection between white matter and gray matter accomplishes the same function as myelin sheath destruction. Therefore masking is a self-lobotomy. Don't you think that Dr. Fauci knows this?
Another name for lobotomy, leucotomy, means "slice/cut white" in Greek.
The first lobotomies were performed in 1935 by this Portuguese neurologist who resembles Dr. Fauci, Dr. Antonio Egas Moniz, along with Dr. Almeida Lima. Initially, they drilled holes in the skull on either side of the prefrontal cortex and injected the connecting fibers with alcohol to destroy them. [Hear this you alcoholics out there!]. Moniz then decided to use a tool called a leucotome. After drilling holes in the skull, the doctor pressed on the back of the tool, which extended a wire or metal loop inside which when pulled back up came with a chunk of someone's brain.
You can purchase your own leucotome on Etsy shops:
https://www.etsy.com/listing/103152108/lobotomy-tool-set-hammer-orbitoclast
https://www.etsy.com/listing/866768029/lobotomy-shadowbox?ref=landingpage_similar_listing_top-3&cns=1
"By extending and then retracting the leucotome, he could remove cores of white matter."
The important thing to remember is that a lobotomy can also be performed through the nose. This fact has been scrubbed from the internet, but I'm not the only person who remembers reading about it. I wish I could verify it though. The "Egyptians" also removed the brain through the nose of cadavers being preserved. The objective is to leave no evidence. So why are tools that somewhat fit this description also being used in Corona Virus test kits?
The quoted sections are from an article written by Shanna Freeman. "In 1936, a neurologist and psychiatrist named Dr. Walter Freeman and his partner, Dr. James Watts, began performing lobotomies in the United States. Ten years later, Freeman perfected a new method. Moniz's technique, called a prefrontal lobotomy, required a patient to go under general anesthesia in an operating room. Freeman wanted to find a technique that was faster, more accessible and less expensive."
Faster, more accessible and less expensive was the goal, perhaps because this was intended for use on a massive population.
The same legislative bodies that for generations have not been able or willing to solve homelessness and poverty due to government property taxation and confiscation, not to mention lack of access to public beaches and farmland for Hawaii residents and many, many human abductions, yes that same Hawaii legislature on June 18 got right to work with a detailed plan to control and supervise every detail of the personal lives of very healthy people on the island. At a "special committee" briefing, the Hawai'i Department of Health outlined steps to control movement within the state boundaries of Hawaii. Island to island intrastate travel is now stricter than international travel into the State of Hawaii. Present in-state travel restrictions include:
Confirmation of a negative Nucleic Acid Amplification Test from a certified Clinical Laboratory Improvement Amendment lab no more than 72 hours in advance of travel
Submission of electronic travel and health questionnaires
A pre-departure symptom screening
A post-arrival health screening
Appropriate social distancing measures taken throughout the travel experience, including mask wearing throughout the flight.
A Hawai'i Senate Committee arrogates to themselves the right to control, limit, deny and monitor travel within State boundaries, the right to tell us what to wear on our bodies and the right to restrict our own breath. What's the end game?
It's to be expected that lists of Trump supporters will be made available to the "testers". It's to be expected that Trump supporters will be isolated and subjected to medical tyranny that is fast, accessible, inexpensive and leaves no trace. Maybe not, but possibly.
Members of the Hawai'i State Senate Special Committee on COVID-19 sent a letter to Gov. David Ige calling for neighbor island counties to serve as pilot program testing sites for exclusive travel between neighbor island counties —Kaua'i to the Big Island, for example — with the possibility of including O'ahu intrastate travel once the surge in cases subsides.
"This Pilot Project is a proactive measure that could yield important outcomes for our state while also providing a process for critical interisland travel during the pandemic," the letter states. "As evidenced by the DOT [Hawai'i Department of Transportation] Airport Quarantine process, these systems require time to initialize, pilot, and standardize so they can be scaled to peak capacity. The results yielded by the Pilot Program could provide valuable information that could be applied to an eventual trans-Pacific pre-test or bubble program, which would be a critical element to successfully reopening Hawai'i's economy."
The letter, sent Sept. 3, requests a response from the governor by Tuesday, Sept. 8, at 4 p.m.
At a June 18 special committee briefing, the Hawai'i Department of Health outlined steps that would need to be taken by travelers seeing a Quarantine Exemption:
masks being worn
Download of an optional location tracing app, which many people believe is not optional.
The members of the special committee are Senators Donovan Dela Cruz, Jarrett Keohokalole, Michelle Kidani, Donna Mercado Kim, Sharon Moriwaki, and Kurt Fevella.
As you can see, these people are throwing tons of tax money around to incentivize the continued self-lobotomization of the people through "ramped up testing".
Lawmakers have appropriated $90 million for systems at airports statewide to "reduce the spread of COVID-19".
The funding will be used for thermal screening systems, security protocols, web-based verification applications, traveler verification rooms, swab and testing facilities, and a service contract for ramping up testing. The systems will be installed in the five major airports: Daniel K. Inouye International Airport, Kahului Airport, Ellison Onizuka Kona International Airport at Keahole, Hilo International Airport and Lihue Airport.
"This investment in airport screening protocols will help us reopen tourism in the safest possible manner, screening all travelers and verifying their pre-testing information," said House Finance Chair Sylvia Luke.
"Because the U.S. Senate has not passed the HEROES Act, we are substituting federal funding from the existing CARES Act in order to move forward with this critical priority."
At a recent Senate Special COVID-19 Committee meeting, Senate Ways and Means Committee Chair Donovan Dela Cruz said, the Department of Health and private labs indicated the state needed to ramp up its testing capacity from 3,000 tests a day to 12,000, and possibly 15,000, tests a day.
"As the number of visitors increase, it's important that we have enough tests for our local community and have the tests available for symptomatic passengers to help prevent the spread of the virus," Dela Cruz said.
"Thermal screening cameras will be installed at all the gates to screen passengers for elevated temperatures (above 100.4 degrees) as they disembark from the aircraft. A facial imaging tracking system and monitoring control rooms will be installed throughout the terminal to track a suspected passenger until they are intercepted for further screening. Total cost is $18.5 million, with an additional $17.5 million for a 10-year maintenance program.
5 million dollar "Verification Rooms" will be constructed to "verify" arriving passenger information during their stay in the State, including State residents traveling to Hawaii Island.
Some lucky individuals get $4 million for developing an app for the departing passenger health form and arriving passenger "verification" information.
•An additional $23 million will be appropriated for labor."

tllgrrl says
Summer, regarding The Matrix and mythbusting, I highly recommend that you get ahold of The Matrix with commentary by Ken Wilbur and one of my favourite authours: Dr. Cornell West. Watch with subtitles and listen to their commentary.
Grahame from the UK says
I'm afraid my days of listening to Slice of Scifi and Wingin' it are coming to an end.
Thanks to the guys, I've ordered and watched the first season of Battlestar and am awaiting the second on DVD (£40 ($75) is a bit much for me to buy so I've asked for it for Christmas). With the imminent release of the third series in America everyone is going to be talking about it. Hell, even M & E are giving away spoilers from the second series (luckily Evo talked over Mike so I missed it).
I have to say that I've really enjoyed Battlestar and eagerly waiting the second series – has been shown once on Sky One in the UK as far as I know.
Grahame (I think Torchwood is going to start in a few weeks… )
Mark in NY says
Hmm. Haven't gotten a single one of these podcasts (Dragon Page, Slice, and Wingin' It and the related voice mail shows) via iTunes this week. So far as my feed is concerned, no new shows have been released all week. Any ideas?
Grahame…remember payback is a bitch..you have an opportunity to spoil Torchwood! 😉 🙂
Mark, I'll let Nina know, but my iTunes feed is working just fine.
ditto says
"Raines� is very similar in concept to Dubric Bryerly novels written by Tamara Siler Jones.
Mark, my iTunes is working fine, but when I first upgraded to version 7, I had some issues with some of my podcasts; iTunes wouldn't play them. Try resubscribing to those feeds. That should fix your problem.
A couple other points…
I don't agree with Summer that the Matrix sequels destroyed the movie mythology. While the sequels are flawed and didn't give fans the story they wanted, there was a certain logic to the story and mythology presented in the sequel.
The BSG webisodes are definitely for the fans.
Mike of The Riverbend says
Mark in NY,
Try a force refresh a few times. Sometimes that works. With the server moves, there might be a problem that way as well.
Thanks. I heard on the board of another podcast that this latest iTunes upgrade seems to be causing problems for many people. I'll try to unsub and resub when I get home from work today and see if that unclogs the pipes.
Sam, I could have really spoilt everyone with the latest series of Dr Who and how good and sad it was. As Evo says, a real tear-jerker.
Having watched "Harry Potter and the Goblet ot Fire" since first watching it at the cinema I remembered that David Tennent was one of the baddies in that, too.
David from Australia says
Summer, Mike & Evo,
BSG Season 2, Episode 8 (Final Cut) just screened on free-to-air last wednesday. The Season 2 DVD boxset was released 22 August, so I've seen both seasons.
The SCI-FI Channel web-isodes are available for viewing over here presumably because the DVD's are out.
Hey, those BSG webisodes ARE on YouTube. You guys are brilliant.
Charles from Big D says
I got to watch an advanced screening of Heroes too and anybody else who went to a CineMark movie theater during September, they are giving away free iTunes codes to watch the new fall NBC line up. 😉
Enormous says
Anybody praising Telstra for what they do really hasn't lived under their oppresive thumb !
Shame we did not get to hear all of RH – he has some great ideas on new media, fan based media and other bits.
Love the show as always.
As far as good horror movies, don't remember when it came out, but Prophecy starring Christopher Walken is one of my favorites.
Evo and Michael acknowledged your valuable contributions to 'Michael & Evo's Slice Of Sci Fi' by changing the name. Unfortunately, the artwork on the podcasts and the website remains the same. It may be time for some Kick-Ass Mystic Ninja action.
I have some ideas for changing it to include everyone involved with the production – those in front of and behind the microphones.

I'll be glad to give you all a good reference anytime. Phyllis G. steered us right.
It was definitely our pleasure to have ya'll at the Rally. We hope we can do it again so we can enjoy that Great Music from our generation! Your music was enjoyed by all and we had a lot of very positive comments. Thank you for being a GREAT PART OUR RALLY!!
My husband and I heard you again this year at the DSC Amphitheater and you were wonderful as always. Your sound is fantastic and you really bring back so many memories. I was delighted to be able to get your latest CD (had gotten two others at the 2012 concert) and I also purchased all three of them this time as a gift for a good friend. Thanks for what you do to keep the music alive!
Great CD's – I listen and sing along with the oldies almost every day!
We have been to many oldies shows throughout the past years. Your group is up there with the best of them.
We came from Port Orange to see you. It was well worth the trip.
What a fun time had by all last night at the Elks Club in Palm Coast with Malt Shoppe Memories. The guys have added the beautiful voice of Louise DeVito & the place was packed for 3 great sets of Doo Wop. Joinging the fun was my good friend Bob Belniak, President of the New England Doo Wop Society. They are a must see group.
I'm glad I came to your show. You put on a terrific performance of solid Doo Wop. I finally met you all in person. It was a great evening.

Damascus is the capital city, but Aleppo is the largest city in Syria. The official language is Arabic. Export goods of Syria are crude oil, minerals, petroleum products, fruits and vegetables, cotton fibre, clothing, meat, live animals, and wheat. Syria exports too many countries such as Iraq, Lebanon, Germany, Saudi Arabia, and Italy. Syria tends to import machinery and transport equipment, electric power machinery, food, and paper.

Carlos de Borbón-Dos Sicilias y Borbón-Parma (Lausana, 16 de enero de 1938-Retuerta del Bullaque, 5 de octubre de 2015) fue infante de España, príncipe de las Dos Sicilias, duque de Calabria, conde de Caserta y jefe de la Casa de Borbón-Dos Sicilias. Para los realistas legitimistas fue Carlos I de las Dos Sicilias.

Biografía
Era hijo del infante Alfonso de Borbón-Dos Sicilias y Borbón (1901-1964) y la princesa Alicia de Borbón-Parma (1917-2017); nieto por vía paterna de la princesa de Asturias, Mercedes de Borbón y Habsburgo-Lorena (1880-1904), hermana mayor de Alfonso XIII (1886-1941), y del infante Carlos Tancredo de Borbón-Dos Sicilias (1870-1949).

El rey Juan Carlos I, quien era su primo hermano por línea materna y a la vez primo segundo por línea paterna, le concedió el título de infante de España en 1994. Don Carlos de Borbón-Dos Sicilias fue presidente del Real Consejo de las Órdenes Militares de Santiago, Calatrava, Alcántara y Montesa. Fue presidente de honor de la Real Asociación de Hidalgos de España. El duque de Calabria también fue uno de los dos pretendientes al desaparecido trono de las Dos Sicilias.
El infante Carlos ocupaba el primer puesto en la línea de sucesión a la corona española después de los descendientes del rey Juan Carlos I, ya que las hermanas del rey Juan Carlos I, las infantas Pilar y Margarita, renunciaron a sus derechos de sucesión para contraer matrimonio con personas que no pertenecían a alguna familia real, como prescribía la Pragmática Sanción del rey Carlos III que regulaba los matrimonios de la Casa Real española. La Pragmática Sanción quedó derogada de facto por la Constitución Española de 1978 pero la aprobación del texto constitucional fue posterior a los matrimonios de las infantas. Las infantas no poseen derecho alguno al Trono español, así como ha sucedido con los tíos de Juan Carlos I, que renunciaron a sus derechos sucesorios para sí y sus hijos, por cuya razón Luis Alfonso de Borbón no es actualmente el rey de España.

Carlos de Borbón-Dos Sicilias contrajo matrimonio civil en el ayuntamiento de Louveciennes el 11 de mayo de 1965, y religioso al día siguiente en la Capilla Real de San Luis en Dreux con la princesa Ana de Orleans (n. 4 de diciembre de 1938). Ana de Orleans es hija del príncipe Enrique de Orleans, conde de París (1908-1999) y la princesa Isabel de Orleans-Braganza (1911-2003). El matrimonio tuvo cinco hijos:

 Cristina de Borbón-Dos Sicilias y Orleans (n. 1966), casada con Pedro López-Quesada y Fernández-Urrutia, y madre de dos hijos: Victoria López-Quesada y Borbón-Dos Sicilias y Pedro López-Quesada y Borbón-Dos Sicilias.
 María de Borbón-Dos Sicilias y Orleans (n. 1967), casada con el archiduque Simeón de Habsburgo-Lorena de Austria, y madre de cinco hijos: Juan, Luis, Isabel, Carlota y Felipe.
 Pedro de Borbón-Dos Sicilias y Orleans, duque de Calabria (n. 1968), casado con Sofía Landaluce y Melgarejo, y padre de siete hijos: Jaime, duque de Noto, Juan, Pablo, Pedro, Sofía, Blanca y María.
 Inés de Borbón-Dos Sicilias y Orleans (n. 1970), casada con el Noble napolitano Michele Carelli Palombi dei Marchesi di Raiano, y madre de tres hijos: Teresa (n. 2003),  Blanca (n. 2005) y Arturo (n. 2014).
 Victoria de Borbón-Dos Sicilias y Orleans (n. 1976), casada con el griego Markos Nomikos, y madre de cuatro hijos: Anastasios, Ana, Carlos y Simeon.

Hermanas
El infante Don Carlos tenía dos hermanas:
 Teresa de Borbón-Dos Sicilias y Borbón-Parma, duquesa de Salerno, casada con Íñigo Moreno de Arteaga,  marqués de Laula,  marqués de Laserna. Con descendencia.
 Inés  de Borbón-Dos Sicilias y Borbón-Parma, duquesa de Siracusa, se casó con Luis de Morales y Aguado. En 1978 la pareja se divorció. Con descendencia.

Q: PHP UTF-8 Security: Must I use mb_check_encoding() for Security Reasons on every Inputdata? Is mb_check_encoding() a must for secure PHP UTF-8 Apps?
Do I have to mandatorily use the function mb_check_encoding() on absolutely every input data, passed to a PHP UTF-8 Application to be "secure"?
Whatare the reasons/attack vectors?
Please give a short explain as to why this is important / what the attack vectors are. The mb_check_encoding() helps to protect against "Invalid Encoding Attack". But where in PHP could these become obvious/a security risk?
1.) If all data is outputted via htmlspecialschars() and I use prepared statements, is then the only remaining attack vector, that string comparisons might not match (comparing a valid with invalid UTF-8 for example in a security filter, where not matching might be problematic)? Or in the conrete example, would htmlspecialchars itself be vulnerable (if no correct UTF-8 is passend in) and would not encode the output, which of course would be a major security risk.
2.) Or are there worse complications comparable like buffer overflows, that allow directly hijacking the app?
3.) What further attack vectors/problems exist?

The dream of capoting a casino is as old as the notion casino itself. Every gambler wants to win. Every other invents his own system. Every hundredth attempts to carefully analyze the game. And only the few of thousands and thousands succeed.
By far the most well-known achievement within the sphere of system recreation against the casino was the so called card counting at blackjack – mathematically based mostly methods of video game permitting to get some advantage more than the casino. The casinos surely understands about the existence of counters and are trying to oppose them – from changing the guidelines to banning the game. Sometimes even exceeding the limits of reason and legality. In reality all the historical past of the blackjack may be the struggle between the gamblers plus the casino which is far more clever.
It happened in the turn of 1949 and 1950 when Jess becoming an superb mathematician and physicist-theorist acquired to Las Vegas. Then his mathematic flair prompted him that most probably not every little thing depends upon intuition in blackjack.
Jess manually created whats now known as fundamental method and counting programs 10 decades ahead of a person else has done that. He counted that theoretically he had an advantage over the casino of about 3 – under the problems of that time it was rather genuine. Additionally Markum had beenplaying blackjackin all recognized to him casinos- each inside the USA and overseas. His name appeared on the pages of your newspapers as an example of lucky man who maintained to hit the jackpot.
Jess Markum also went right down to history as possibly the first gentleman thrown out through the casino as a result of cards. Although at that point casinos didnt understand that such method existed. Jess lived in Las Vegas for about a calendar year. The casino proprietors exchanged the data when they gathered in the common meeting. Plus they were terrified. Soon after that Markum wasnt admitted in any respect Vegas casinos. He went to Reno. The very same story- in 50 percent a year after unbelievable luck the casino owners began generating inquiries concerning the incredible gambler. Then other states and cities. Then Cuba the Bahamas. Nobody is aware of how much capital he has won throughout that point. One factor is known for sure- actually Jess Markum began the war in between the gamblers and casinos in blackjack which is still happening and finding a lot more and additional strained.
He did not share his calculations with any person and fully gave up playing from casino soon after a wide public publication of blackjack techniques by other authors.
Jess Markum died in 1992 at the age of 72.
The subsequent work of terrific influence around the blackjack math was made in 1956 from the group of 4 mathematicians- Roger Baldwin Wilbert E. Cantey Herbert Maisel and James McDermott.
These individuals had never ever played in casino before getting put in a great quantity of mhr they developed fundamental strategy ofplaying blackjackaccording to the most popular at that point rules and revealed it collectively using the calculation strategies inside the specialised math journal for statisticians – Journal on the American Statistical Association entitled The Ideal Method In Blackjack.
They created many slight mistakes in calculations which is absolutely nothing severe taking into consideration their huge contribution. A yr later on they issued a small ebook Taking part in Blackjack to Win which can be now a bibliography rarity.
In reality their book plus the write-up did not spark significantly furor and remained almost with no attention regardless of their innovative method. Nevertheless the phrase virtually turned out to be the important for all the gambling industry as somebody did compensated shut interest to the research of the great four.

'I have been at Gardners Lane everyday for the past eight years! My son settled into school very quickly with the help and support of both the teachers and teaching assistants. This support and caring role continued each year. He was always encouraged in everything he did - academically and with his love of sports. He was able to leave Gardners Lane with great satisfaction that his hard work and the fantastic range of experiences had given him the best possible start in secondary school. One teacher had given us help and advice on choosing schools which would best suit him - he got his first choice school and is continuing to do extremely well due to the grounding Gardners Lane gave him.
My daughter is currently attending Gardners Lane, although the school has changed a lot in this time the teaching staff are still dedicated to the children and their learning. The bond the children have with both teachers and teaching assistants help the children to engage in the learning and gain to the best of their ability.

Lena Dunham: "I write under duress, often in my bed, often at the last minute"
In college, at the age of 21, she peeled off her clothes in a public fountain, proceeded to brush her teeth and posted a video of it on YouTube. What she revealed was her body in all its pale tattooed glory, and what she unleashed was argument that lives to this day about whether she is or is not fat, is or is not pretty, should or should not be embarrassed of her body.
When she graduated, she moved back home with her parents and made the film "Tiny Furniture" about a confused 20-something who has just moved back in with her parents. And then Lena Dunham, who unashamedly took over the world in her underwear with a sense of self worth, humor and love that earned her a legion of fans, wrote, directed and starred in the HBO show "Girls." Season 3 of the show will premier this January, and Dunham is also in the process of publishing her first book.
I was living in Mexico when I found out about "Girls," and I want you to know that I watched the whole first season in two days.
Don't feel comfortable taking up our full chair, apologize for putting our arm on the armrest.
Yes. Personally, I feel socialized to not take up space, and I have to work to change that. What is it about your childhood, about your mom, about your grandma, what is it that made you able to do that?
You know, it's funny, I think part of inquiry into that kind of stuff started when I entered high school and went from being a really tiny kid to a chubby teenager and had to figure out how to handle that shift in my body. It's interesting because I was looking at that transition and trying to figure out how to deal with my new body. It's funny, I don't know, maybe it's a selfishness thing, but when there are only a few chairs or something, I'm never the person who is like, "I'll stand." I always sit down, because I prize comfort highly. I don't know if you saw that slam poem that went viral a couple weeks ago.
That amazing girl talking about being trained to do that. And actually Jemima, who plays Jessa on the show, sent it to me. She's like "I know you're busy, but watch this. It's very moving." And I found it very moving, because she was asking a question that doesn't get asked very often. It was really profound.
I saw that. It made me think about work, where in my office men lay back in their chairs, put their feet up.
Totally. It makes me want to do something inappropriate. Another part of it is the fun of playing a character like Hannah who is somewhat unaware. She tries to be really aware of social aspects but fails. In that space between trying and succeeding is the comedy of using your body too broadly or knocking into things. I'm also really spatially unaware as a person.
I'm curious about what your mom and grandmother are like. I watched "Tiny Furniture." I imagine that you have a pretty badass mother/grandmother lineage going on here.
I have an amazing mom. We actually just last week gave a talk together at the Brooklyn Museum, which was an amazing experience because instead of just existing in our relationship, we discussed our relationship and what it means for both of us creatively. On my dad's side I was super close with my grandmother. She was nontraditional by the standards of her time. She married really late, 35, which in the '40s is like, you might as well be 100. She'd been a nurse in the army and a counselor for underprivileged teenagers. She took a really interesting route and settled into traditional wife- and motherhood pretty late. She was a good storyteller. A huge part of my childhood and a huge part of my wanting to write was sitting with my grandma and just listening to her talk about going to Germany during the war, going to Mount Holyoke, going to Yale nursing school, going to new cities alone. She had a knack for illustrating it all, and her stories are really riveting. My mother's mother is much more traditional. She's a Jewish country club, blowout-having, lipstick-wearing grandma.
What role does writing play in your life? Are you more of a Joan Didion notebook writer, a Hemingway-blood-on-the-page type, or an "I'm emotional, I'm just going to throw it out there" maniac?
I want so much to be someone who sees something and writes it down in their beautiful leather notebook. The fact is that I write under duress, often in my bed, often at the last minute. I'm kind of a binge writer I would say, which I don't support. I was always kind of that way. Probably the time I was the most regular as a writer was college. It was like, what else is there to do when you're living in the Midwest studying creative writing?
Now I have to really guard and cherish my writing time, because there are so many other demands on it. There's what the show takes up, because the show has so many other aspects besides writing. There are a lot of other areas of interest for me, but writing time is where everything comes from. I have to make sure to be really careful with it. It's hard for me. When I had other jobs, like when I was working in a clothing store, or I was a hostess, I had this weird schedule where I would work, come home, take a nap, then write from 11 p.m. to 4 a.m., then go back to sleep. I basically figured out a schedule where I could have the strength to get something done at night.
Now it's harder for me to go in and out of various modes, so I have to set aside days where I'm like "I'm getting writing done today." Because a big part of it for me is being able to dawdle, or look at things on the Internet, or take a moment to answer six emails, or walk around a circle, or go out and read the newspaper. The day needs to hold enough space for all the other stuff that goes with writing. I would say that my writing comes from more of an emotional place than an "I'm in the street, I observe something, and I get an idea" place. I wish that I had more of that. That's like where more of my tweets come from, which is a bummer. I'm hoping that it can evolve with age, as all things do.
Tweeting can evolve with age.
Tweeting can, and my approach to having a reasonable schedule can evolve.
How do you feel about balancing pop culture, social media and projects?
It depends on the day. Some days I'm like "This is the greatest most fun challenge! I can do this all at once! What a joy!" And some days I just feel like "How are we supposed to fill all of these roles?" I'm a writer, and sort of an actor, and a director, but I'm also supposed to be able to pose for photos and have an amazing Twitter that doesn't offend anybody.
That is really funny all the time.
All the time. I feel like I miss a little bit the old – I mean it was kind of pre my career – but the idea that you made something, you put out a book or you put out a movie, and then you went into hibernation. You had your experience of preparing to put the next thing into the world. And that doesn't exist, because people are blogging and tweeting.
I find that a lot. Especially being a writer, you basically have to promo yourself full time, but it feels horrible because you are like "I don't want to promo myself." It becomes a complicated question.
It really does. I often find on Twitter that I just want to tweet about SNL. I don't want to tweet, "I wrote this. Go read it." It's an interesting conundrum. But I also feel like my writing can always serve as a place to go back to. It is really comforting. I feel like in bad times or good it is a safe space to enter. It's easy to forget that, but it's consistently true. I feel lucky always to have that medium, which is as private as you want it to be and is affordable.
It's true and the answers change. But it is nice that you've just asked me good questions that don't live in the usual space. And that's nice too, because if you don't get exhausted about talking about yourself and your work, then you're a monster.
What sort of visual and cultural explorations inform the creation of Season 3 of "Girls"?
That's what your movie "Tiny Furniture" explores too.
I also wanted this season to have more alone time with each character. I don't know if you know the filmmaker Agnès Varda. She's a French filmmaker. She's amazing. I actually just met her. She's in her 80s, and she was having an exhibition in Los Angeles and I was like, "I'm going to meet her." Her movies have a lot of quite interior time with female characters. I'm not going to say that this has turned into epic, lonely episodes, but I liked the idea of seeing them together and seeing them alone and seeing what the differences were. Also, for Hannah I really wanted it to be about why she wants to be a writer and what it means to her, to make it less about her relationship to any particular guy and about how she is defining herself.
The crushing weight of wanting to be a writer and getting to the point where you can give that up and still write.
What have I produced? What am I producing? Looking at life like that.
It's exhausting and ironically ultimately unproductive. Although I do think it drives a lot of what is made. I was trying to look at what role that type of pressure plays in her writing.
All the time. But it often exists in a very different world than the show does, because the show is such a specific universe that reading is my escape from it. This summer I was reading a bunch of Diana Athill. She's amazing. When she was 75 she decided to write her first memoir, and now she's written like seven memoirs. I read "The Love Affairs of Nathaniel P." and I loved it. It was the first novel I've read that was taking place in the same world as "Girls." It was cool to see how fiction could deal with that differently. You get an internal monologue, and that was cool. When you're making a show where you don't ever get inside anyone's head, you don't get a voiceover, there's only so far you can go to illuminate somebody's thought process.
Even though they're not that wildly impressive.
It's an interesting thing. I think a lot of it is our desire to show off and our mothering complex join forces. I think also a lot of it comes from not having the confidence that you have something to offer as your own entity. You think either this person isn't going to be impressed enough about you just through the art of conversation or through the privilege of getting to look at your face. There's also the sense that this person's addition to your life is going to up your worth in some way. Even if you intellectually know it's not true, it's hard to let go of the emotional component that tells you that it is. I still find that all the time I want to say, "Stay in my apartment when I'm out of town. Sure, I can get you tickets for that." Half the time I'm offering something I don't even have, and I'm just scrambling around. It's very female. I wish I could say that making a movie about it ended it for me, but it did not.
I've been thinking about it for years, and I still have to work not to do those things, bend over backwards for people who don't care about me at all.
My Mom and I just re-watched that at the event we did together, and she was laughing because it all came from our life.
I'm almost done. I'm spending another two weeks on it, and then it goes to copyediting. I just saw some covers. I'm actually reading at Carnegie Hall tonight. The book has been a joy to write and a completely different experience than making the show.

Dick Wolf: Mariska Hargitay, 'Law & Order: SVU' Pioneered #MeToo 'a Long Time Ago'

With "SVU" reaching its 20th season on air, "Law & Order: Special Victims Unit" creator Dick Wolf and star Mariska Hargitay stated that the show not only has its own place within the #MeToo movement, but that it helped start it.
"We've been talking about sexual assault, domestic abuse and child abuse for 20 years, and I am so deeply incredibly proud of that," Hargitay said at the Paley Center for Media on Monday. "This show has been a true maverick, a true pioneer. That's why I keep saying that we're in this beautiful cultural change. It's like all the stars have lined up, and we've been telling these stories for years."
In a panel later in the evening with show creator Dick Wolf, he said Hargitay and "SVU" have both helped to make the dialogue accessible to audiences and help survivors share their stories.
"I think it's opened the door to a multitude of conversations over the years," Wolf said. "If you look at the #MeToo movement, it's like she founded [it] a long time ago. If you go back to the first season, it's still incredibly on point to what's happening in this country."
Hargitay said one of her goals while working on "SVU" was to be able to get audiences to metabolize the stories told on the show and hopefully impact change in the real world.
"We started the conversation. If we can talk about this at the water cooler the next day like, 'Did you see 'SVU?' I wish Olivia Benson was my detective,' all of a sudden these conversations start opening up everywhere," Hargitay said. "I was so blown away by the different type of fan I was encountering, not just a fan that was like, 'I love you, can I get an autograph?' but a woman, whether it be a letter or on the street or breaking into tears saying you changed my life."
Hargitay said she hopes to continue the conversation into the show's 20th season and continue to change the culture as she intended when she first took on the show in 1999.
"I knew very early it wasn't just a TV show, I knew very early this was the beginning of a cultural shift," Hargitay said.
Despite Harvey Weinstein pleading not guilty to rape charges, Hargitay said she believes the victims of the disgraced movie producer will see justice this time around.
"I think it's going to play out the way it should play out. I think that there's strength in numbers and the truth eventually comes out," Hargitay told Variety on the red carpet. "I think people are starting to see the light and the truth. This is something that has been historically swept under the carpet and that's just not happening anymore."
