Personally? If I had to spend decades in prison - while watching my false accuser make significant earnings off the back of a story *about* me being an outright monster - for a hellacious crime I didn’t commit? I’d be ringing up an attorney the next morning. And I’d be going after the state AND the accuser.

I fully expect the GOP to then condemn Omar for playing the tape, claiming she violated the sanctity of communication between elected officials and the public (or some other bullshit). 

He’s not going to get any better. People just need to accept it. This is who he is now. He’s Dennis Miller.

While protesters are bringing up Kizer’s case in the context of the Rittenhouse trial, Kim points out a key difference: The videos played during the Rittenhouse trial showed the “imminency” of the danger,” he says, and that type of element is missing in Kizer’s case, since the state is arguing that Kizer traveled to…

It’s a difficult bit of nuance to communicate, but while I think Travis Scott is to blame, I see him as also being scapegoated. Like, suppose you were the kind of person who pushed bigoted narratives, you might try to make hay out of Houston Police Chief Troy Finner meeting with Scott, but based on the chief’s press…

Regarding Kristen Dunst and the pay disparity... I mean... she made seven million dollars. That is a shitload of money. While it is indeed $10 million fewer than Tobey got, Tobey played the titular character in a multi-billion dollar movie franchise- I mean, he WAS Spider-man, for fuck’s sake. At the end of the day,…

The old folks might want to fight over him, but clearly the kids grew up in a world where Chappelle’s Show already had its impact on the world, and now they just see him as an old man who yells about the people they want to feel included and safe.

I’m not big on her music (can take it or leave it), but I do like her play on this.

Fuck a lawsuit. It’s criminal that a young girl is dead.

Is it just me, but if I was staged in a situation (on public media no less) where my other half deliberately tried to trigger jealousy, I’d seriously reconsider my relationship with them.....

I saw Run the Jewels at Riot Fest a few weeks ago. They explicitly tell their fans: if you see anyone in trouble, stop and get help. If you see anyone that looks like they aren’t having a good time, stop and get help. If you touch anyone that doesn’t want to be touched, we will stop the show, come down there, and…

I gotta get some popcorn because the jezebecky lot are going to be salty as hell and I love to see it.

My first impression: Apple Arcade?! Too bad...

Wait, Madonna’s not British?

Every movie doesn’t have to be a ‘Big Important’ one. I’ve longed to see Black stories in all the genres (and making new ones too)! As an indie movie buff who only got into Netflix last year, I’m heartened to see the baby steps they’ve made to include not one but TWO Black actors (or one and a POC) in just about every…

Zazie is still Black and very much badass. Keep it moving. 

Perhaps, but that could also be said huge swaths of the genre. Now, clearly there is exceedingly fertile ground for well realized historical re-enactment, the meaningful films about themes like lawlessness, racist society and individual Black excellence, and soundtracks that examine the African roots of colonized…

So should you

I’ve never been particularly fond of this analogy, especially considering that playing sports is an entirely voluntary act.

As soon as I saw the headline, my brain said, “this was a Republican, right?” And yes, lo and behold it was a Republican. Guys, you really need proper multi party democracy.
