I think part of the “unevenness” claim that gets lobbied at Lovecraft Country stems from the serialized nature of the show being a surprise for the audience (to a degree).

The book is serialized, too, and I think too many people watched the first episode (absolute banger of a Pilot) and then assumed the rest would…

Stoked for this, Lovecraft Country had some big Laura Croft energy when they were going full Goonies.

Definitely. It will also be interesting to see how the MCU and DC film universes adapt or don’t.

Nods to 9/11 abound in super hero narratives from the US post 2001, with varying degrees of success.

The events of Avengers with the Chitaurii are clearly a 9/11 analogue (though post-9/11 in-universe), so it will be…

“Affluenza”

I’ve been wrestling with this as a Sci-Fi writer, personally.

So much of speculative or even non-speculative fiction has to grapple with pre-covid representations of the world or post-covid representations of the world.

All the jokes about “the before times” are losing their humor as they become just that, “Pre-Covid.”…

You could also just look at the sheer number of text-based post bots on platforms like Twitter or Reddit. 

For all those people who never believed he was a psychopath. As the PRESIDENT OF THE UNITED STATES he ordered his steaks well done.

I am gonna buy some fancy ass pants.

It’s almost as if the Stock Market was never designed to directly interface or be accessible to the masses, and that very access will undermine it’s existence because it wasn’t made for the masses, but for the few.

Weird.

When White folks start recognizing that White Supremacy is anti-White person, that’s when we’ll collectively have an “oh shit” moment.

Until then, defining your personality and identity on the blank page of “not Black” will keep on killing the souls of white folks.

Like I tell my students. Don’t give me that IDK,…

Just because you deal heroin, doesn’t mean you’d let an addict watch your kids.

The GOP has big dealer energy. 

Part of the reason that “forgive and forget” happens, is the capitalist machine runs the news outlets.

The underlying social political messages that actually bring economic equality and accountability to the police are inherently dangerous to monopolistic capitalism. They ultimately bring accountability, and taxes, to…

I would not return to work with a co-worker who sympathized with people planting bombs and who openly carried a gun.

Note.

Threats of an “uprising” if he’s removed via the 25th.

The FBI is aware of...

Do it. Remove him. These people thrive on the ability to threaten. What they represent is a sick root that we haven’t dug deep enough to get out of the garden.

Stick the shovel in, pull hard. Run the 25th, Impeach fast.

If we want the flag to…

I fold, all I had was two Mooches and a McEnany. 

100%
This hasn’t been reported anywhere that he was a part of the riot. The only info is that he was an officer.

A lot of good people defended the Senators on Wednesday. ACAB is catchy, but a violent coup was stopped by the cops who aren’t bastards at the capital.

The criminal justice system is fucked. White…

Ever wonder why vocabulary lessons are important?

Here’s a who’s who of concepts that the RW media echo chamber has used to radicalize white folks for the past four years, from the horse’s mouth, as it were.

“...the political left ... 45's term?

Get your politics out of my games!

Technically, still a bang.
