SHELBIE: “We also actually have seen a difference in characters. So there are 80 less characters last year, queer characters, like WLW characters. There are 80 less WLW characters in the last TV season than the year before so it’s kind of like-“

EMILY ANDRAS: “Where’d they all go?”

SHELBIE: “ABC lost 18. Netflix lost 22.”

VALERIE: “Just walked into the parking lot and disappeared.”

EMILY ANDRAS: “Yeah, exactly. Or they all got on the wrong bus to the greatest party that we can go to.”

NOELLE: “Oh that’s much better!”

EMILY ANDRAS: “Yeah, I wish that was true. I wish that was true.”

SHELBIE: “From an industry perspective do you think that there’s - because of the backlash of 2016 - there was an uptick in like ‘Oh, we have to do rep” and kind of now, everybody’s a little afraid of how to tell those stories. Do you think maybe that’s what’s happening?”

EMILY ANDRAS:

*to Noelle*

“That’s such a good question and I’m looking at you.”

NOELLE: “Yeah, I mean, I would say anytime you get a finger pointed at you and someone telling you you’re not doing a good job - especially like from a network perspective where those optics are really important. In the US, they seem to care more than they do here. I would say, not to be cynical but I would say, yeah, that is probably why there were more. But that doesn’t mean that those stories, clearly, were being told more responsibly or in a better way or that those characters were three-dimensional characters who were fully fleshed. I think if you can lose that many, they probably weren’t integral enough to your show to begin with.”

EMILY ANDRAS: “Yeah, that’s my fear a little bit. It’s almost like this cute trend for some people and I’m like ‘It’s not a trend. These are real people and this is real representation and this needs to be what it is going forward’. So I think there was a little bit of a sense from some networks - One Day At A Time - that maybe it was like, ‘Well we gave you some candy and then you are the candy and now there’s no more candy left’. And I’m like ‘It’s not candy’ and they’re like ‘We love candy. How dare you!’. Um… I think it’s both things. I think it’s both like ‘Well, we can just throw in a bunch of LGBTQ characters and like that’ll feed the masses’. But also the other fear is that I do think there is a little bit of a resistance particularly, potentially from writers who are older or more established that they’re like ‘Well, I’m so terrified to wade in here and tell these stories that I’m just not going to tell these stories or include these characters at all’. But that’s just bullshit. You just have to learn to be better maybe and try harder.”

SHELBIE: “Be more creative.”

EMILY ANDRAS: “Yeah, be more creative.”

NOELLE; “Retire!”

EMILY ANDRAS: “Yes, retire. Yeah, exactly.”

*crowd laughs and applauds*

SHELBIE: “Do you think there’s a way that we can use Wynonna Earp as a little bit of kind of like a flagship saying ‘Listen, you can tell queer stories and you tell them with drama’. What I hear a lot, I feel like from writers is ‘Well, I mean you don’t want to be bad rep, so then we can’t tell any stories because we can’t have any bad storylines’. But Wynonna Earp kind of - you guys have been proving that you can have the drama and you can tell the stories and then still treat your characters with respect. So do you have any idea how we could get that information in to like a more of a way where it could be digestible by executives or showrunners or other writers?”

NOELLE: “Yeah, I mean I think just tell everybody to watch the show. I mean like, come on.”

EMILY: “Everybody.”

NOELLE: “Everybody, tell your everybody. Um… I mean for me it comes back to making sure that your queer characters aren’t secondary or tertiary to the main characters. Like I think the fact that when Emily built this world, you know, um, the queer characters became-“

EMILY ANDRAS: “Team effort.”

NOELLE: “Yes, team effort. Whatever. I wasn’t even here…. Um the fact that you can, you know, have - you can have an episode where, you know, where Wynonna’s sister’s girlfriend can be in the entire A-story with her, like is a testament to the fact that though, you know, Nicole, or if you have a story with, you know, with um, with Doc and Jeremy, like those characters are fundamental to the lifeblood of the series. They’re not just somebody you go out to for kissing scenes so you can tick the box and say, you know, ‘We did our rep. We did a good job’, you know, and pat ourselves on the back. I think if more shows did that then you,… the drama would be inherent. Like if when you created those characters you thought how they related to everybody on your show, not just the person they were sleeping with or smooching with, then I think that would just give yourself more opportunity for drama because, um,… because those characters are real and they matter to more people than just their partner.”

VALERIE: “And then your only options for drama aren’t relationship drama because you have so many other relationships and you can tell so many other sides of the story and it’s a lot more exciting that way.”

SHELBIE: “If they’re actual characters, yeah. If they’re only the ‘gay character’ then you have no other story to tell than their drama I guess. Their relationship drama.”

EMILY ANDRAS: “Their sexuality can’t just be their story. It has to be intrinsic to their character - but their whole story can’t just be ‘I’m gay’ all the time, although that’s not the worst.”

NOELLE: “I would also say that I think as writers and, you know, producers and people in the industry, we are conditioned because it’s the way we came up. Because it’s what TV has always been. That the thing that’s the most dramatic is loss and tragedy. And I think we undervalue how much emotion and how much drama a queer audience can get out of a happy ending because it isn’t the standard. You know?

*crowd applauds*

I think we need to put more value in happy endings for queer characters and not just go ‘Well, you know, for straight characters a happy ending - like who cares? We should probably kill somebody’. Like maybe we could have a happy ending every once in awhile.”

VALERIE:

*to Shelbie*

“And to sort of go back to what you’re saying about like Wynonna Earp being a flagship. It’s why like sometimes the running joke on the Autostraddle TV team is like ‘I bet Valerie is going to bring up Wynonna Earp on this roundtable again’”

EMILY ANDRAS: “‘How dare you!.’”

VALERIE: “Because it’s true… yes, I’m definitely biased because I love the show, but it’s also true that there are so many things that you can point to. It’s like ‘Well, okay this show failed us, but look how Wynonna Earp did a similar thing and succeeded at it.’ So it’s like it’s kind of always pointing those things out to hopefully get future TV writers, future people who are reading TV critic recaps, and things now, that will go on to create, like have it kind of in the back of their mind.”

NOELLE: “I hope so.”

EMILY ANDRAS: “I am impatient though, like the one thing I want, which we’re not quite there yet is like, it would be good to have a world where you can also have like queer villains, you know what I mean? Like I want to get to the point where we have our heroes, so then we’re going to have awesome LGBTQ-like villains and complicated people and it’s… we just need more of everything. Do you know what I mean? And then it’s going to be more fully rounded. But I’m not completely sure we’re there yet.”

SHELBIE: “I think Gentleman Jack is making at least a little bit of a stride.”

EMILY ANDRAS: “It is. It sure is.”

SHELBIE: “Because as much as we all want to love her… she’s not exactly the greatest person in the world.”

EMILY ANDRAS: “She’s complicated. Exactly.”

VALERIE: “Villanelle.”

SHELBIE: “Oh, yeah, that’s a good one.”

EMILY ANDRAS: “Villanelle. Yup. Fine. I’ll write a gay villain. Okay?”

NOELLE: “But then you get…”

EMILY ANDRAS: “Friends to enemies, enemies to friends.”

NOELLE: “Then you get into the situation though where you’re like, ‘We have this amazing part… and it would be great to cast this character or to write this character as a queer character’, but ultimately the bad guys die, generally, and so you’re like well… so if we’re a show that has really good rep, is it okay if we kill the… if we write this amazing part for an amazing queer character, but then at the end they have to die. So then that’s an added level of, you know, if we had made real sustainable progress since 2016, maybe, but the fact that we haven’t means I don’t know that… I mean it’s-“

EMILY ANDRAS: “Difficult.”

VALERIE: “As of right now there’s still a very fine line between like a queer villain and villainizing queerness.”

EMILY ANDRAS: “That’s so true.”

SHELBIE: “That’s a good way to put that. I think though that there’s, from like a straight statistics point of view - somebody’s going to be crazy, somebody’s going to die, somebody’s all those things. So if you have enough to balance it. I think that’s how you do that. So if you have 4 gay characters and you kill one from like our, you know, objective scoring system, you’d still have a really positive score because you’d have enough positive to balance out… the thing that you’re doing.”

EMILY ANDRAS: “Right.”

NOELLE: “It’s still scary as hell though. It still would give me hives.”

EMILY ANDRAS: “Yeah, I don’t know. We have a super hero that shoots people in the face. So I just like, do not think that’s a good plan at this stage. Like, no, I just like honestly, I just like think about it all the time. It’s like, I just wanted to move faster. Do you feel like that for diversity in general? I’m just like if it was faster, then there’s going to be more times for people who are queer too. Do you know what I mean? Like that’s the other truth. Like the actors I know who are LGBTQ are like ‘I just want to do everything’ right? Like ‘I want to play Bobo Del Rey. I want to play everything’.”

SHELBIE: “It’s an interesting argument ‘cause we want queer people playing queer roles and queer writers writing queer stories. But at the end of the day you want queer actors to be able to just play anything right? The same way that we wouldn’t want anyone else to get boxed in. So that’s kind of a… it’s an interesting argument I feel like that’s happening right now in the industry.”

EMILY ANDRAS: “It is, but at least we’re having it. At least we’re talking about it.”

SHELBIE: “We’re having the discussion.”

EMILY ANDRAS: “Yeah, exactly.”

NOELLE: “And you can’t really ask like, you know? I was just on a show where I was like, it would be great to get like a queer actor to play this role, but you can’t ask so unless you know, and you don’t always know, like… how do you do that?”

SHELBIE: “Yeah ‘cause you can’t not hire them because they’re not queer or hire them. Yeah, that’s tough.”

I had to transcribe this entire question and answer segment from this EH Con Canada 2019 panel because it’s such an important conversation to have and set of questions to address regarding LGBTQ representation in TV art/entertainment. What they talk about is what I’ve been writing about frequently and recently about how to provide better and more positive LGBTQ representation - particularly surrounding WLW characters - and the representation anxiety and cancellation anxiety that so many TV show creators feel over potentially accidentally perpetuating the harmful trope of Bury your Gays and being mistakenly accused of queerbaiting through main characters that can be perceived as gay or queer when they’re not canon gay or queer main characters.

They specifically talk about how to go about telling stories with and about gay or queer main characters that are the same or similar stories that we see with straight, cis and white male characters all the time because there is much less controversy over it when it’s a straight, cis white male main character because those main characters are everywhere and their stories - both positive and negative - in TV art/entertainment are everywhere because they get to be all different types of negative and complicated characters like villains that are abusive and destructive people that do deserve death or other forms of punishment and there’s no resistance against that by the general public because it’s not ever marginalizing or villainizing a specific group or community of people that need representation.

I would recommend you to watch the whole video because it’s all important but I specifically think this part of the panel is the most important and I am so proud of Emily Andras, her entire Wynonna Earp team, and the Earper fandom for spearheading this incredibly necessary initiative in addressing LGBTQ representation in the TV art/entertainment industry. This is a conversation that everybody that cares to talk about this subject needs to have to make a real difference in achieving better and more positive representation for gay or queer characters that aren’t or won’t always be the greatest people and telling their stories where they have a negative or darker character arc than other characters that are also gay or queer that have a positive and lighter character arc.

How do we do this? We need to have the in-depth conversations in addressing this subject together as a LGTBQ+POC community before we go asking for and pitching it to TV showmaking networks that have a sincere interest in providing better and more positive LGBTQ+POC representation but are afraid to because of representation anxiety and cancellation anxiety.

This video is long but it’s well worth the watch. If you don’t want to or don’t have the time to watch it, at least read the little segment that I have transcribed and if you feel like you want to talk about it - I’m here.

Let’s have the conversation. It’s incredibly important.

I will link you to where I’ve written about this before if you don’t understand and want to know more: https://www.tumblr.com/girl4music/743149350219333632

Hey I saw you at EhCon with all the fanfic writers that I love and I grappled with coming up to say hi or not (I didn't) because I didn't know how to introduce myself since I am just a random Anon here. We do have a mutual and I had hoped to get close enough so that they would do a more organic introduction but that didn't happen. Maybe next time.

Oh my goodness you should have come up and said hi. I know it’s hard sometime to just do that but I promise we would have appreciated it. We love it when people drop in and chat with us. I for one go to cons mostly to meet up with you lovely folks because that’s a ton of fun. And of course come see us next time! I will most likely be a Eh Con next year so if you want DM me before hand and it will be less scary to say hi in person.

Soooo after a slight mixup with Redbubble I now have 3 (three) shirts just like this one. One was too large and then I have two of the same size and style soooo I’m def willing to give one away. The shirt looks like that. It’s a male classic t-shirt size 2XL. I’ve never shipped anything before but I’m sure we can figure it out. Or I’ll be at EHConCanada in a few months if anyone else is going and would like it.

the weird jealous thing was at the beginning of the cast panel EH con canada 2019 where dani asked that question and dom kinda answered in a flirty way and kat was prettty quiet after that , it’s the first thing i notices and then later she was like sorry i’m just kinda out of it or something like that. if you watch tell me what you think and if i’m just delusional 😂

Oh that one! Yea, I’ve seen it a gazillion times. 😂 I agree with you. But I also think that Dom was the one that got jealous more during the Dani Kind stint. Remember the “Woah, woah, woah, Dani KIND!!” moment. 🤣 Dom was so cute. I love how she reacted to that one. I also fucking love her answers to how she changed, and her travels. HER BRAIN IS MAGNIFICENT. 👌🏻

Do you want me to show up to TV show conventions?

Then please please please PLEASE do not just invite the actors to sit at panels! The creators (that is the writers, directors, producers and showrunners) are fundamental to TV showmaking and should be there!

You invite them and you’ll see me at cons all the time.

I love the actors - I do - but at the end of the day the people that work behind the scenes are the people that I want to engage with and talk to. Not the actors!

This was an incredible panel to watch for learning the perspectives of the creators of ‘Wynonna Earp’ as opposed to the actors. The actors are great but they’re just following a script created by these people so they’re going to know very little about the TV show and will have to defer to the creators for the answers anyway so just put the creators on the panels instead - or even alongside them if you can so you can have both the acting side of things and the creating side of things together influencing each other’s perspectives.

I don’t show up to conventions because I’m not interested in what the FACES of the TV show have to say. I am more interested in what the MINDS of it do!

That matters to me more than meeting and interacting with the actors of a TV show because I don’t care about their fame. I don’t care about their popularity. I love the show because of what’s put into it. Yes, the actors are obviously a huge part of what makes a TV show a success but they’re not a huge part of why I personally care and they never will be.

The only person I recognized watching this panel was Emily Andras, I didn’t know who the other 3 faces or names were. And that was so important to me because now I do and now I can appreciate them for the work they’ve done and the participation they’ve had on what has become my new favourite TV show.

What those unknown faces and names have put into ‘Wynonna Earp’ is the reason that I care to watch it. If I was at this convention, provided I knew who they were, they would be the first people I would walk up to to talk to about the very TV show I am even there for. I would not walk up to the actors (provided I was allowed to I mean) because, even though I love them, I don’t want to know what they have to say because I know it’s going to be very insignificant compared to what a writer or producer or director would tell me.

It makes no difference to me who they are. I won’t be there for them. I will be there for what the creators can tell me and show me and help me to learn more about the TV show that I love with everything in me because they’re the people that have the answers that I want to know about something that I have a great passion for talking about in the first place. It’s not the actors.

When I went to the 2022 Xena convention in LA, the assumption that I was there for Lucy and Renee like most people were. I wasn’t. I was there for STEVEN L. SEARS because he is the main reason why I love Xena. Sure it’s a team effort but all the plotlines and themes and character representations that I care about most in ‘Xena: Warrior Princess’ are mostly because of him. I’ve always credited Gabrielle and Gabrielle’s evolution to Steven, not Renee. I love Renee for portraying Gabrielle, absolutely, but she’s not who created the character and she’s not who created the arc of her. That’s Rob Tapert, Steven L. Sears and John Shulian. So I would obviously have more desire to talk to them. When Lucy and Renee were on stage in one of the panels for the convention, I had no questions for them.

None. But I had countless questions for Steven and Katherine and I was burning to ask every one of them.

So if you want me to show up to conventions for your TV show,… then please invite the people I would actually want to meet, engage with and talk to and I will show up to as many of them as I possibly can. I love seeing the actors and hearing their side of things but I have no reason to engage with them really because I am not ever there for them. That’s the truth.

Spotify confirms it’s testing real-time lyrics synced to music

With the launch of iOS 13, Apple added perfectly timed live lyrics to its Apple Music app. Now Spotify may do the same. Several users in international markets are now seeing a similar synced lyrics feature in their Spotify mobile app, where lyrics scroll by in time with the music. The feature is powered by Musixmatch, according to the screenshots. Spotify confirmed to TechCrunch the feature is a test in a limited number of markets.

While Spotify didn’t confirm which regions have access, we’re seeing that users in Canada, Indonesia, and Mexico appear to be among the test markets.

The feature sits beneath the playback controls where today, other enhancements like Behind the Lyrics or Storyline, currently appear. And users say they can also view the lyrics in a full-screen experience.

We were not able to duplicate the same experience here in the U.S., which indicates it’s still limited by geography.

ahora spotify ha vuelto con ponerte los lyrics (gracias musicxmatch) y obvio lo más importante era hacer esto pic.twitter.com/Ip9goVs7SI

— mar crocs (@hijodeIaluna) November 14, 2019

  Spotify had lyrics support on the desktop several years ago, but that feature was later removed. Since then, users have repeatedly asked when it would return. On Spotify’s user feedback community, for example, a request asking the company to “bring back lyrics” was upvoted over 14,300 times. Spotify wouldn’t respond to user requests except to point users to its Genius integration, Behind the Lyrics.

Genius, however, doesn’t provide full lyrics. Instead, it’s a way to annotate tracks with a combination of lyrics and stories. While the feature can be both informative and entertaining, it’s not necessarily the experience people want when they’re trying to learn the words to a song.

Currently, neither Spotify’s desktop or mobile app has lyrics support, with the exception of Japan. It also regularly runs tests like this, so this is not a confirmation of a near-term launch.

Spotify’s decision to not make lyrics integration a priority has given Apple Music a competitive advantage in terms of its feature set. While it may not be a key selling point, per se — Spotify now has 113 million paying customers to Apple Music’s 60 million — it could help to retain users who don’t want to lose access by switching. Amazon has also capitalized on Spotify’s lack of lyrics with integrations of music and lyrics on Alexa devices.

Reached for comment, a Spotify spokesperson confirmed a synced lyrics experience is something it’s testing.

“We can confirm we are testing this feature in a small number of markets,” the spokesperson said. “At Spotify, we are always testing new products and experiences but have no further news to share at this time.”

POSTA! - PER IL NEO SEGRETARIO CGIL MAURIZIO LANDINI "ABBIAMO DUE VICEPREMIER CHE SI OCCUPANO DI POVERTÀ E DI LAVORO SENZA MAI ESSERE STATI POVERI E SENZA MAI AVER LAVORATO". MENTRE LA SINISTRA HA AVUTO CAMPIONI DI POVERTÀ QUALI GIULIANO PISAPIA, LAVORATORI DEL CALIBRO DI MATTEO RENZI, "STRACCIONI" ALLA FAUSTO BERTINOTTI E GENTE CHE SI È SUDATA LA PENSIONE COME NICHI VENDOLA…

-

Riceviamo e pubblichiamo:

Lettera 1

Caro Dago, Sea Watch, Minniti: "Un grande Paese accoglie 47 profughi". Sulla base di questo ragionamento, quando governavano loro, è andata a finire che hanno dovuto accoglierne 700 mila.

Lucio Breve

Lettera 2

Caro Dago, scrive il Messaggero che le prime cinque case popolari della Capitale sono state assegnate ai rom. Qualcuno spieghi alla Raggi che non è un abbreviativo di 'romani'.

Giorgio Colomba

Lettera 3

Caro Dago, a Roma bus in fiamme mentre rientrava senza passeggeri in deposito. Un "fenomeno" verificatosi spesso nell'ultimo anno. Sarà mica colpa del riscaldamento globale?

Gregorio Massini

Lettera 4

Caro Dago, il ministro dell'Ambiente minaccia le dimissioni per le trivelle. Ovvio, sono opeazioni Fuori Costa.

BarbaPeru

Lettera 5

Caro Dago, allucinante. Ho deciso di trasferire il conto corrente che avevo in una banca vicino al posto dove lavoravo, in una filiale della stessa banca vicino casa. Ebbene, ho dovuto sottopormi ad un iter del tutto simile a quello cui si va incontro per l'apertura di un nuovo conto. Alla fine mi è stato consegnato un "volume" di ben 70 pagine! Ora mi chiedo come faranno a realizzare il reddito di cittadinanza, in un sistema organizzativo vigente in Italia talmente burocraticizzato dove non c'è dialogo nemmeno tra le stesse strutture del settore privato.

PIERBRAC

Lettera 6

Caro Dago, la Sea Watch è entrata in acque italiane ed è ancorata a un miglio da Siracusa. Adesso speriamo che Francia e Germania riescano a siglare un "accordo" anche per spartirsi i 47 migranti presenti a bordo.

Camillo Geronimus

Lettera 7

Eh! I bei tempi di Santi Licheri! Ora a Forum abbiamo un giudice, sospeso, che parla di riciclaggio ed un altro (altra) che parla di stupro come se fosse bere un bicchiere d'acqua (e che vuoi che sia? Una botta e via!).

Tempi moderni!

Gaetano Il Siciliano

Lettera 8

Caro Dago, «Chi c’è ad accogliere Salvini e tutti gli altri al Quirinale per il Giorno della memoria contro il razzismo? C’è un corazziere di pelle nera.». Il fatto che Mario Ajello lo racconti su "Il Messaggero", dimostra che la cosa, tra i giornalisti, non è considerata "normale", ma è un evento da sottolineare.  Per Salvini, invece, corazziere nero o bianco fa lo stesso. Non ha sentito la necessità di postare un tweet per informare i followers della "stranezza" che gli era capitata mentre si recava al Quirinale.

Luisito Coletti

Lettera 9

Caro Dago, il ministro dei Trasporti Danilo Toninelli ha chiesto "scusa a nome dello Stato" per la tragedia ferroviaria di Pioltello. Perché non aiuta la sindaca Raggi a fare altrettanto con i romani?

Sasha

Lettera 10

Caro Dago, penso che commetta un grossolano errore chi ritenga che la magistratura si muova contro Salvini. L'aver chiesto al Senato l'autorizzazione a sottoporlo a processo per aver impedito lo sbarco di extracomunitari nei nostri porti costituisce un aiuto insperato ed inatteso fornito al ministero degli interni da parte della magistratura che gli consentirà sicuramente di vincere le prossime elezioni europee cin grande margine di vantaggio sugli avversari. Salvini dovrebbe ringraziare chi ha chiesto l'autorizzazione per processarlo.

Caro Dago, il Consiglio d'Europa bacchetta i politici italiani: "Incitano a odio, razzismo e xenofobia". Ma se siamo peggio della Libia perché vogliono che tutti i migranti sbarchino da noi?

Caro Dago, conversazione rubata tra Conte e la Merkel: "Il Movimento 5 Stelle è in sofferenza. Sono molto preoccupati perché Matteo Salvini è al 35-36% mentre loro scendono a 26-27% quindi si chiedono quali sono i temi che ci possono aiutare in campagna elettorale". Noi pensavamo che tra leader europei si discutesse di sicurezza, di come fare per rilanciare l'economia o di migranti. E invece questi hanno il chiodo fisso delle poltrone.

Caro Dago, l'autoproclamato presidente venezuelano Guaidò è stato riconosciuto da Stati Uniti, Gran Bretagna, Canada, Argentina, Brasile e Paraguay. Con Maduro, invece, Cina Russia, Siria e Turchia. Ora che sono stati definiti gli schieramenti, si possono cominciare ad ammassare armi e truppe al confine?

Caro Dago, Expo, La Corte d'Appello di Milano ha confermato il proscioglimento del sindaco Giuseppe Sala. Han fatto bene, così ora potranno magari concentrarsi su qualche nuova indagine su Berlusconi o Salvini.

Dago darling, finalmente! Pare che domani scenderanno in piazza i gilet azzurri di Farsa Italia. Per quanto riguarda Milano, dato che San Babila é intralciata dai lavori della costruenda MM4 e comunque troppo piccola per contenere "folle oceaniche", si suppone che detti gilet si sposteranno nelle vicine chicchissime vie del Quadrilatero della moda. I più coraggiosi magari raggiungeranno anche Via Salvini che da Corso Venezia porta a Piazza Duse. Chissà che spesa per l'"arabo fenice" di Arcore! Faq: come saranno pagati i partecipanti, con voucher (se esistono ancora) o con buoni acquisto di libri Mondazzoli? O partecipazioni a qualche programma ipertrash di Mediaset? Ossequi

Caro Dago, emergenza processi per la concessione dell'asilo ai migranti. Il vicepresidente del Consiglio superiore della magistratura, David Ermini, segnala un carico "crescente di procedimenti in materia di protezione internazionale e di immigrazione". Quindi ha fatto bene Salvini a chiudere i porti. Non arrivando più nessuno avranno il tempo per smaltire le domande.

Caro Dago, quanto successo a Giulio Regeni in Egitto è vergognoso. Come sono vergognosi tutti i depistaggi che ne sono seguiti e il fatto che ancora non sia stata fatta giustizia. Ma - a onor del vero e per evitare futuri fenomeni imitativi - va ricordato che anche il povero ricercatore friulano ha fatto un errore madornale. Non si va ad immischiarsi degli affari interni di un paese musulmano, perché riguardo al diritto di dissentire da parte di chi non è d'accordo con chi governa, sono fermi ancora al medioevo.

Caro Dago, il neo segretario Cgil Maurizio Landini: "Abbiamo due vicepremier che si occupano di povertà e di lavoro senza mai essere stati poveri e senza mai aver lavorato". Mentre la sinistra ha avuto campioni di povertà quali Giuliano Pisapia, lavoratori del calibro di Matteo Renzi, "straccioni" alla Fausto Bertinotti e gente che si è sudata la pensione come Nichi Vendola. Per citarne solo alcuni.

Com'è 'sta storia? Se un sindaco eletto democraticamente (vedi Orlando da Palermo) dice di fregarsene della "legge Salvini" per quanto riguarda i richiedenti asilo, anteponendo la Costituzione che vuole tutti uguali senza discriminazioni, è un eversore, in quanto le leggi si osservano, salvo rivolgersi alla Corte Costituzionale per farne dichiarare l'incostituzionalità.

Se invece un ministro eletto democraticamente (vedi Salvini) dice di fregarsene della legge sul sequestro di persona, fa una scelta politica e va tutto bene. Come al solito, come sempre, in questo disgraziato paese la legge è come la pelle dei coglioni, elastica, la si può tirare da una parte o dall'altra a proprio piacimento. Vedremo mai la luce?

Lettera 20

Caro Dagos, non mancano certo, fra i tuoi lettori che portano il loro contributo alla rubrica delle lettere a te dirette, tanti che non sopportano di non trovare anche qui l'unanimismo pressoché totale che domina sui media: e provvedono come possono a riportare gli interventi sui binari consueti del mainstream: cioè, ripetendo le cose che si dicono e si leggono in quegli almanacchi a un solo registro, su cui i cattivi raramente trovano spazio e in ogni caso, non certo (non sia mai!) in proporzione allo spazio che i cattivi e cafoni occupano nel mondo reale, - finché c'è, finché dura, finché gli è permesso farsi schifare, visto che non piace a chi ama rispecchiarsi in pagine a stampa, monitor e display.

Infatti, qualcuno, ritenendo mortificante, limitato o inutile l'ufficio di portavoce dell'omologazione multiculturale, se la prende direttamente con l'impresentabile Paese reale: e con i giornali, cartacei o online, come Dagospia, che contribuiscono a fare da sponda all'infimo livello del sapere che circola nel Paese.

E una persona che non per niente le cose le sa trova opportuno, al riguardo, ricordare l'aurea massima di Henry Louis Mencken: "Un giornale è un mezzo per rendere più ignoranti gli ignoranti e più folli i folli." Naturalmente, chi opina così finemente non si riferisce ai giornali che legge ogni persona tanto colta, intelligente, sensibile e gentile che ha un Mencken dalla sua. Per dire, ma come ogni persona altrettanto colta, intelligente, sensibile e gentile sa perfettamente senza bisogno di dirlo, che, non potendo fare chiudere tutti i giornali che leggono gl'incolti, dissennati, folli e ignoranti, farebbe chiudere almeno Dagospia.
