I am truly going to miss this series and getting to read new insights from you every other Friday. The publication schedule lined up with my payday and I had gotten to the place where paydays engendered a feeling where I looked forward to reading your latest entry first before whatever else I wanted to do with the new

Seconded. In Full.

This comment section is full of people who have no idea what they are talking about. It’s sad. And also exactly why no real racial progress is being made. So many people of privilege who are unwilling to admit there is an issue or to listen to the populations who are affected when they speak about the harm being done.

There was an overload of cringe, but a good amount of real, believable family dynamics at play in this film. I always felt like the film was “doing too much” but I was never able to articulate why and what exactly so thank you for laying it out!

I enjoyed Rutherford Falls but still found the narrative to be too centered on the white man who couldn’t let go of a historical narrative that centers another white man. And it didn’t come off like lampshading. I wanted more of all of the Native American characters. Hopefully, we’ll get it in season 2.

I’m catching up on this series of articles. Love them all! Thanks for sharing about this movie. I’ve never seen it. Only heard about it in passing. I had no idea what it was. And now I can see where it fits in the bigger scope of rom-coms!

Good luck! I’m sorry to see you leave but I know you are on to better things. This site will be poorer after you leave.

The Matrix can be a metaphor for anything depending on how you want to read it. That’s part of why people still find it relevant because it can relate to many moments in history and the present. But without being blatant about what you mean for it to be about, it makes it possible/easier for incels and the like to get

Being subtle can open your work to such a wide variety of meetings that your work about raging against the machine can get co-opted by conservatives, capitalists, and incels. We don't live in a time where subtlety should be required. I think being blatant has value. Some people can't make reasonable meaning out of the

They passed a law so that all student loan debt forgiveness is not considered taxable income through 2025.

Large space does not equal ventilation.

We need people like you out there writing and offering perspectives like yours.

There are so many people in these comments who don’t remember what happened, what was planned, or what was said in 2004. They obviously bought what Les Moonves was pushing as the narrative and had confirmation bias about anything that didn’t. They are the ones most in need of a documentary to revisit this and what

Dawson wasn’t just the awful choice in a question of him or Pacey.

The two villains banded together after being pitted against each other and then were thrown into the phantom zone all in the space of 15 minutes and after Lex declared that the portal to the phantom zone couldn’t be closed after it was opened it just closed itself. There were 40 minutes left in the hour and I thought

But R. Kelly is not a wealthy person. He needed help paying rent and child support.

There are lots of innocent people sitting in jails.  Why help this guilty person?

Pretty sure you left something out of how he has spent the last few years

So many toxic people in the comments stanning for a convicted sex offender! You hate to see it.

To anyone making excuses to continue listening to his tracks, know that you are fueling his fame, his influence, and his pocketbook which is how he initiates and gets away with being a monster. Stop making excuses to pretend like you aren't helping to fund his legal defense team. And that's before you get to the part
