BTW, I knew little to nothing about East of Eden before I threw the Netflix version on last night. I can’t lie: they got me. That was a solid ep of TV for someone who has never read the novel or seen an earlier adaptation.

Announcing my new grim-n-gritty adult animation reboot series: TURBO TEEN: HUMAN TRAFFICKING. We’re going to hide it from the public on Apple TV+!

So @happyblackchick.bsky.social and I came to this super-cute coffee shop to work this afternoon. The latte I got her was so good, but I ordered this seasonal iced coffee, and it's just a war crime. I think there are little ground-up malt ball crumbs in it, and it makes me want to call the police!

Oh, okay. So that new Tome Cruise movie is the total garbage it looked like? Just the sight of that awful cat puppet was enough for me.

We are more powerful than the state as the actual people living anywhere, & the state has elaborately contrived to keep you from personal & collective power by strongly indoctrinating you to be loyal to it your whole life & brutally enforcing it with a severe police state that squelches revolt.

We progressives and the left need to be more discerning about what the fuck we're actually willing to debate. A lot of these debates and questions are presented in bad faith and engagement just wastes time and energy. I'm not going to debate whether rape or genocide are "that bad." Fuck you.

So, I've always thought of Queen as a band that when they are on, they are ALL THE WAY ON. They also have this tendency to teeter into lameness that I've always thought of as a weakness, but maybe it's not? Maybe the goofy weirdness is a necessary ingredient to create the best elements?

Not wild about the writing on the Different World reboot—specifically the dialog BUT! I’m happy it exists, and I’m glad people are digging it. It’s hard to get Black stuff made these days.

When (or IF) history remembers this era, students are going to look at accounts and feel like what they're reading/seeing doesn't add up. They're going to ask themselves what they're missing because so so little of what they're seeing makes sense.

I honestly don’t understand why Dropout’s Total Forgiveness is not a 20-season network reality game show paying out millions every year. It just feels like a license to print money. Fucking scintillating.

So, we’re all aware that it’s the cops doing/facilitating the lynchings, right? That they’re trying to get away with what they can while Trump is still in? We’re aware of this, yeah?

A legacy like Jerome “Big Duck” Smith’s deserves the highest respect from the City of New Orleans. Big Duck was many things to many people. He was a Freedom Rider and civil rights leader, but also a mentor, an advocate, and a friend to all who knew him.

I'm not tagging the person because I'm talking about the trend, but y'all: when someone posts "here is an unacceptable thing that someone did and you should not do it because it's unacceptable," don't be the person who responds with "I bet the person who did that is Autistic."
