Ashanti Mills @dakotacityrag.bsky.social · 21/09/2026click is very clear that it's okay to be a dick to kids and coworkers and atrangers but you gotta make sure your own kids, wife, and parents know you enjoy spending time with them lol 000
Ashanti Mills @dakotacityrag.bsky.social · 21/09/2026anyway it's making me think about other art that i think is ultimately super well crafted and cogent thesis supported by both its own parts and IRL evidence, but which i just don't agree with 100
Ashanti Mills @dakotacityrag.bsky.social · 21/09/2026Reviewer thought it's inconsistent bc the message is 'be nice' yet there are so many comedic moments about being an asshole The movie's coherent in its assholery bc the actual message is 'be nice to your family/people you care about, fuck people you don't' 100

Ashanti Mills @dakotacityrag.bsky.social · 17/09/2026Pop music specifically as exaggerated, caricatured performance of believably real identities--identities so othered that audiences have the distance to believe in the caricature--is such a fascinating framework, i'ma spend so much time thinking and reading about this lol 100
Ashanti Mills @dakotacityrag.bsky.social · 17/09/2026THIS is why hot takes exist. This is such a bold claim that it seems impossible, but just compelling enough that you gotta check to be sure... and then you keep checking and checking and finding more evidence to support the claim and now you're stuck wondering how deep the hole can go... 110

Ashanti Mills @dakotacityrag.bsky.social · 28/01/2026if i wanna be slightly less of a pedant than i’ll allow that this mix of swung and straight is more accurately called “swung” because the mix of rhythms exacerbates the asymmetry of groove rather than leveling it out will not accept the tune being called straight just because the melody is 100
