“I’ve handled these cases for other people before. You can do claims to have them take it down, but full disclosure: Every single woman that I’ve assisted to do that, it backfires on them. They will send their communities after you.’ I will never forget this: He said, word for word, ‘They will make every day of your…

Not everyone in this scenario has the ability to “choose” to be at risk.

Most folks working in food service need the work and don’t have a ton of other options for income.

Source, that was me like, 8 yrs ago. 

Any individual who is targeted in all of this must be sweating bullets.

Luckily, he already had the correct garb.

Wish him nothing but luck and success. Fuck hedge funds.

Seconded. Aikido is a wonderful MA to study if your goal isn’t striking.
I know a few school administrators who study and swear by it for breaking up fights with minimum harm.

Ah, but eating out while literally endangering the lives of the lower class is peak Bourgeoisie.

Sip the wine and scowl as your personal wage slave literally dies while you tip lower than historically average.

I used to be jokingly anti-capitalist, but Covid has radicalized(wrong word for realizing the truth) the shit…

Unless, you are holding 1mil in doge.

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…

Nostalgic Time Traveling Teens from the 90s

For me it was a phase I am happy to leave alongside AOL instant messenger. 

Pretty sure in-universe they are “all” dead, as opposed to blipped, who are only “mostly” dead.

I’ll get buried in the greys, but the US is basically one long con with the same rotating cast.

It needs to be less “spooky scary socialism” when we point out the systems of inequity and class warfare that have LITERALLY been around for hundreds of years in the US at this point.

You don’t have to be an…

While I don’t agree with it, they haven’t normalized those terms as insults.

They have normalized them as terms of endearment for each other.

It’s a linguistic distinction that is important, even if it is distasteful. 

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,…
