Summary

On MLK Day, in a mad world, lets talk about two women-centered films. Final thoughts of the 'Martha' documentary on Netflix and then Demi Moore's stellar performance in 'The Substance', as well as the lessons we can glean from both. Also, hold my hand as I rant about the much hyped TikTok ban that wasn't and worrisome censorship that appears to be popping up across social media platforms.

And so here's a quote of his that I like a lot.

0:25.3

We must learn to live together as brothers or perish together as fools.

0:29.3

And speaking of fools, this TikTok Tom Foolery has pushed me to the edge.

0:34.2

For a solid year, they threatened to take TikTok away.

0:36.6

Then they finally took TikTok away.

0:39.3

Only to give it back 12 hours later. So for days, people were scrambling, downloading their

But then we heard from people who were outside of the United States that our profiles were still

up. Our content was still there.

We just couldn't access it. That just seems like a really bad idea. It's almost like we were,
