Not that this is the only example, but just watched "Lady Bird" where a major part of the plot is if the protagonist will go to NYU or UC Davis. As somebody who doesn't live in the United States and there aren't any "private universities" here just wondering if state schools are so bad? Why do they have such bad reputations or maybe just I'm just thinking too much of American-made entertainment?
This is a great question, because it allows me to talk about a topic that I find endlessly fascinating: how the cultural politics of class intersect with higher education.
With regards to Lady Bird, I think the first thing to understand is that it's a highly autobiographical film: Greta Gerwig also grew up in Sacramento, her parents had the same jobs as Lady Bird's parents, and Greta was also a theater kid who ended up going to a prestigious private university in New York City because she wanted to have a career in the performing arts. So what we're getting is not necessarily a universal experience, but how Greta Gerwig herself felt when she was a teenager.
Second, state schools are not bad but their reputations are ...complicated. The land grant universities are generally reasonably well-resourced, they have good reputations, and they provide an extremely solid middle class credential that provides a major pathway for social and economic mobility in the United States.
However, there is usually a hierarchy within the state school systems between the flagship campus(es) which are usually nationally ranked research universities - U.C Berkeley, UCLA, Ann Arbor (UMichigan), University of Wisconsin-Madison, UMass Amherst, etc. - and the other campuses in the same system, which tend to be less selective, less nationally well-known, and more focused on teaching.
This sometimes leads to state schools having a reputation among middle-class to affluent families with college educations as being less "aspirational" compared to selective private universities. (This doesn't apply to the flagship campuses, because they are more selective and thus more similar to elite private universities in terms of their reputations.) Kids from those families still apply to (and attend) state schools in large numbers, but the term that's often used for them is "safety schools" - they're the schools you apply to in case you don't get into the highly selective private schools who take 10% or less of their applicants.
Third, NYU versus UC Davis is actually a slightly odd fit for the "state school" versus "private university" comparison. NYU is not actually that selective: it takes in 13% of applicants, which makes it about the 40th most selective college in the U.S. That's surprisingly low down the totem pole, given that the annual cost of attending NYU would be around $84,000 for Lady Bird. (NYU actually has to be less selective than other private universities, because it has a fairly small endowment compared to the selective private universities, and is thus more reliant on tuition dollars for revenue.)
However, Lady Bird's conflict isn't so much about academics generally - it's more specific than that. Remember that Lady Bird/Greta Gerwig is a theater kid who wants a career in the performing arts. If you narrow your focus from which is the best university overall to which university has the best Film Studies program, NYU is the second-best film school in the country, and because it's right in NYC there's a direct pipeline to one of the main hubs of the film and tv industry.
At the same time, Lady Bird probably should have done a bit more research about California's public university system. Because of the legacy of the California Master Plan, there is a robust transfer system within California's public universities that allows students who are really on the grind to move their way up, so that you can potentially start at the least selective community colleges and end up graduating from the most selective flagship UC campuses. So Lady Bird could have easily gone straight from UC Davis to UCLA (because while UCLA takes in only ~11% of applicants, making it more selective than NYU, it takes in about 24% of transfers), which is also one of the best film schools in the country with a direct pipeline to Hollywood, and it doesn't cost $84,000 a year.
(Ironically, Greta Gerwig herself didn't actually end up going to film school - she ended up going to Barnard which isn't particularly known for film, ended up going into English Lit because she was intending to be a playwright, before becoming a breakout actor in the indie film world, and then zig-zagging from there into directing and back into writing.)

What are some censorship rules that you feel you could most comfortably poke fun at without feeling like you could get in some kind of trouble or ending up on some watchlist for doing?
I guess the FOSTA/SESTA censorship law is a pretty miserable piece of legislation that has had a net negative impact on society since day 1. If I could find something funny about it, I'd definitely go for that one.
Although, you can make fun of it directly without being put on some watchlist, though keep in mind this is the law that laid groundwork for online surveillance/suppression of sex workers, and is basically the blueprint for some anti-abortion legislation proposals that would make it illegal to discuss obtaining abortions online. so if some people have their way, someday you COULD get put on a list for giving tips and info online to those seeking abortions. but i digress.

Peter Montgomery at RWW:
As the aggressive Christian nationalism that infuses the MAGA movement and Republican Party intensifies, journalists and filmmakers are paying closer attention to the threat this political ideology and its adherents pose to freedom in America. A must-watch new documentary, âBad Faith: Christian Nationalismâs Unholy War on Democracy,â will be available for streaming on AppleTV, Amazon Prime, and Google Play beginning Friday, April 26.
Directed by Stephen Ujlaki and Christopher Jacob Jones and narrated by Peter Coyote, âBad Faithâ makes masterful use of archival and current footage of Christian nationalist religious and political figures, infographics, and interviews with scholars, religious leaders, political analysts, and even a former Trump administration official.
The film draws a compelling through line from the scheming power-building of Paul Weyrich, the right-wing operative who recruited Jerry Falwell and other evangelical preachers to create the religious-right as a political movement in the late 1970s, to the institution-destroying antidemocratic ambitions of MAGA insiders like Steve Bannon, as well as Donald Trumpâs dominionist âprophetsâ and âapostlesâ and the Jan. 6 insurrectionists they inspired.
[...]
âBad Faithâ explains how that transformation happened, documenting the role played by the Council for National Policy, a partnership between anti-regulation, economically libertarian oil barons and the religious-right leaders who intended to remake the Republican Party, take over the Supreme Court, and use their political power to enforce âtraditionalâ views of family, sexuality, and gender on the rest of the nation.
The Koch brothers poured tens of millions of dollars into âa state-of-the-art political data platformâ that Council for National Policy groups use to collect personal informationâincluding personal mental health, behavioral health, and treatment dataâand use that information to micro-target individuals. (In âGod & Country,â another documentary released earlier this year, Ralph Reed is shown bragging that his organization tracked â147 different data pointsâ on the conservative Christians they targeted for turnout operations.)
[...]
As âBad Faithâ makes clear, religious-right leaders viewed Trump as a powerful blunt weapon in a long-term political and spiritual war against the federal government and institutions dominated by progressive forces. âThe Councilâs gambit had paid off,â the film notes about Trumpâs time in office. âChristian nationalists were firmly embedded at the highest levels of government. The Supreme Court had an absolute majority of justices poised to overturn landmark civil and womenâs rights decisions. Paul Weyrichâs vision of a Christian nation was becoming a reality.â
That explains why Christian nationalist leaders were willing to dismantle democracy to keep Trump in power. Members of the Council for National Policy and its political action arm went into âfull combat modeâ to promote Trumpâs big lie, and, as Right Wing Watch documented, they supported his efforts to keep power after the 2020 election, portraying it as a holy war between the forces of good and evil. As Samuel Perry notes in the film, viewing politics as spiritual warfare between the forces of God and Satan makes it easy for those who see themselves on Godâs side to âjustify just about anything.â
The Bad Faith: Christian Nationalismâs Unholy War on Democracy documentary comes out today on streaming platforms such as Amazon Prime, Apple TV, and Google Play today. Bad Faith focuses on the history of Christian Nationalism and its very real threat to democracy.

now ollie did do a shit job at mission: fuck the tory information girl for tory information, but that was surely in part due to being a bit useless generally. did emma, hardworking young woman and horse-loving posh weekend-at-daddyâs vacuous nothing that she was, get any worthwhile information from ollie? or was she hampered by the fact that he was himself 75% out of the loop on a good day. could she not have taken her concerning but upward political motivations and hairstyle to the bedroom of someone in the ministry of defence

The old office was divided into two roomsïżŒïżŒïżŒïżŒ; Ritaâs office in the front and Junoâs in the back.
Ritaâs was well⊠homey. She had a huge beaten up sofa covered in stuffed animals and fluffy blankets, and the walls where covered in stream posters and photos. She had stuck glow-in-the-dark stars on the ceiling, walls, and floor, and every available surface was covered in paper spaceships. People would show up and wonder if they had accidentally gotten the address for someoneâs apartment.
Junoâs on the other hand, looked a little like a crazed conspiracy nut from some edgy af stream had recently gotten caught in a tornado and had yet to get things sorted back out. The walls and ceiling where covered in papers and photographs connected by bits of thread creating a sort of three d mesh making it difficult to move around. The floor was scattered with more bits of paper, all covered in a strange, incomprehensible scrawl. To top it off, the one window was completely papered over with what looked like photo negatives. The one clear spot was in the center of the room, largely because that was where the rug was.
