And the trouble is this is even sort of baked into the very *concept* of police, like the very *idea* of having a discrete branch of individuals specifically and solely empowered to both investigate and enforce all matters of law and public safety. You can’t *force* someone to think.

Something I learned recently is that the police have virtually no legal obligation to help you or to solve crimes. (This was upheld by the Supreme Court in 2005.) They choose which cases to investigate and which to ignore/abandon, and which laws to enforce, and there’s little you can do about it.

…simply discovering her actual work, which is, for the most part, EXTREMELY GOOD. Recognizing Yoko Ono The Artist is an important part of deconstructing the myth of Yoko Ono The Poisonous Dragon Lady Seductress Who Destroyed The Beatles. Like you can’t beat that narrative with one in which she is…

…been usurped by misogyny and racism and Tortured Genius myths and so on (I’d also say anti-intellectualism and fascistic anti-art impulses are part of it too, but Ellis doesn’t get into that aspect). To me, the big revelatory moment about her, and the false narrative constructed around her, was…

I’m a little disappointed in how little time the Ellis Yoko video actually spend talking *about* Yoko Ono. It spends VASTLY more time on the Beatles, potentially even more time on Brian Epstein and Kurt Cobain. Yoko and her art don’t even get to be present in a video about how her narrative has…
