#Closereading of the day: “I just want these away from our kids,” he said. “We’re trying to prevent students from being exposed to books that are absolutely raw pornography.” Exactly how is this person defining the difference between "pornography" and "absolutely raw pornography"? Is #Ishmael sleeping with #Queequeg pornography, but #Quentin's imaginings with #Caddy absolutely raw pornography? #Melville, #Faulkner, #litstudies https://www.washingtonpost.com/education/2023/05/18/school-librarians-jailed-banned-books/

Special Tribute Held for #CT State #Rep. #Quentin #Williams – NBC Connecticut

"A special procession was held Wednesday afternoon for State Rep. Quentin “Q” Williams (D-Middletown), who was killed in a car crash last week.

The procession, which was called a Final Ride, took Williams from the funeral home in Bloomfield to his home in Middletown, and then up to the State Capitol where he was honored with a moment of silence, along with a wreath and plaque ceremony."

So on #WhiteLotus, what is #Quentin's end game in keeping #Portia away from #Tanya, and plying her with drugs and men? I get that he's working with #Greg in some kind of plot, but do you think he's planning to blackmail Tanya, or exploit a cheating clause in her pre-nup, or is it something even darker, like kidnapping or murder?

Is #quentin #quarantino on mastodon yet? I need some good good news sources.
