I am Doug Judy neutral - I get the appeal, but there’s just a weeeeee bit too much in a PB and J episode. Was hoping a Final Doug Judy episode would have more going for it than what we got - the last one was a good one to go out on. This one kind of falls in the ACAB: it’s fine to shrug shit off if it’s your…

I loved how while Jake was jealous he wasn’t “I must sabotage Boyle!” or “Let me reduce him to a Mac sitter!” which would’ve been first half Season One Jake shit. Growth!

The hallway only gave soooo much space

Seemed more focused on the reduction of bad policing that gets taken for granted in the police stats because the other stats get more attention.

So long as it’s not Queen of the Damned. Cause: yeeesh. Basically if going by the books try for a general order or just have it be limited and focus on Interview.

Read through Memnoch and beyond (stopped when Rice lost it on Amazon reviewers): Louis was kinda whiny. Nothing wrong with it, part of the allure was that he gave a shit and wanted some damnable meaning to it all whereas the bulk before him was all big house/vamp bride/gladabout or sewer-dwelling blood fiend. But man…

Not even Next Bey, too many forget that they were solid contemporaries

What, though, is ‘unmistakenly black’? Entire continent of people with many in the sub-Saharan, were you perhaps going “predominantly West African”? What definition are you working with?

Maybe we need to clear up what white is: draw a line firmly in the sand, go “this is what American whiteness involves”, and have it be part of the writing style guides that govern reporting in this country. Because a large part of it is that too many fucking LOVE to parse out and selectively include/exclude/grace with…

Straight off: being quiet is free. But taking a second to think about it - being quiet is free and could’ve gone both ways. Imagine having a really really REALLY shitty couple of months. Then imagine that there’s a person out there who fucking crushes it, does your thing but better, didn’t have a really really REALLY…

So basically Owens did some surface-level Google work and blasted it hyperbolically because Klacik leaned more ‘young hotep who took a poly-sci course at an HBCU taught by a musty old man who’d make Bernie Sanders look like Mitch McConnell, but damn it the man got tenure and did cool civil rights shit back in the…

Total marketing failure - could be partnering with some mask designers/makers and getting that $$$ promoting safety and his brand. But no, cause...reasons.

Might be a case of weight loss amnesia: the belief that losing weight cures everything wrong with you and that one’s weight loss was magical and easy therefore everyone should just do it already (never mind all work done)

I feel like there are black rich layers. He’s currently in the Hotep layer. May he get to the circle back of Old Head layer.... though he might die of COVID before then.

On the one hand: pay the guy something. That’s him there used to make millions who has had 30 years of his baby self reflected at him because his parents weren’t psychic about the use and proliferation of their son to where in 30 years odds were high he's had suuuuuper uncomfortable moments involving a sex partner…

It’s hard to have faith in choice if your leadership isn’t going to positively model choice responsibly. Certainly such shittiness works irt abortion for the anti crowd: murder proper modeling for informed choices (sex ed, access to BC, not making doctors lie or exaggerate, assistance for women and their children,…

I will say I’ve totally been in first year classes where they’d do something like that Hamilton Moby Dick piece being all about how it’s only about white guys, but not in an graduate (or even undergraduate) class devoted solely to its author (presumably most of the students signing up would have some level of…

In five out of the six: I hate how they’re portraying the students, in that it seems like an older Gen X/elder millennial’s take on Gen Z, ignoring the same insufferable ‘crap’ every 17-24 year old has their part in. Granted, it might be me being suuuuper optimistic, but the ‘scandal’ feels like the fever dream of a…

Kind of reminds me of Anthony Mackie’s bristling over the Sam/Bucky within the fandom: the refusal to let characters have deep profound platonic friendships is irritating and in its way self-sustains homophobia and sexism

And protect babies*
