How is freedom of speech being threatened?
1.Government Authoritarian governments whose primary aim is to stay in power want to ensure that any media coverage is favourable. In order to control the public narrative, they appoint political figures to media authorities and exercise financial and editorial control over mainstream media outlets. As reported by our member organization in our 2022 Media Freedom Act. Hungary is an egregious example of this where over 80% of the media market is controlled directly or indirectly by the Hungarian government.

The Lost Scrolls of 2023. Content Warning.
Some stories don't make the original cut, those become The Lost Scrolls. Here are this year's... Any chance I get, I like making double entendre jokes (You had a roll in the grass with your friend Mary Jane?), Then playing innocent-stupid (How ever did you get the grass stains out?) High up on a hill...With that kind of elevation, you probably had quite the view!

Alain Delon (1935 - 2024)
He hated getting old and helpless. For that reason, he rarely acted in the 21st century. But the film where he did appear playing the hilariously narcissistic Julius Caesar - 2008 Asterix at the Olympic Games - showed his exceptional comedic chops, usually not associated with the great dramatic actor.

The Golden Girls and Sex and the City share the same character archtypes
Today I went to church and bible study after a very traumatic month of being relocated due to hurricane devastation. I respect the pastor of that church and he has continued to check in on me so I wanted to show him (and Jesus) that I am not an ingrate, nor have I totally forsaken my faith. I am a complicated woman and one thing I'm proud of myself for is the ability to ascertain when I must take my time about who and where I should spend my time. If I feel like it's only going to make me feel worse when I'm already drowning, I take a break.
