But does TSA get actual cop cars??

I know, right? *ESPECIALLY* for the Oscars (when you’re a front-runner)!😂😂
Yiiikes. I know nothing about Lovecraft, at all, but that’s really rough.
Wow. I didn’t say (or imply) there have never been any creative people who were also mentally ill. I said that you don’t need to be mentally ill to “come up with such crazy stuff” - which is exactly what you said in your original post above.
It’s the same with gender. If women speak more than about 25%-30% of the words in a conversation, or make up more than about 25%-30% of the members of a group, they are perceived as dominating it. This effect has been reliably replicated in a variety of experiments with both male and female observers, although the…
I don’t know anyone calling for Lovecraft to be “ignored and stricken from pop culture.” Just like changing the WFA statuette isn’t “erasing” Lovecraft and his influence on the genre... we’re simply saying he shouldn’t continue to be held up as some shining example - while ignoring the very problematic elements of his…

Yeah - he definitely could have ended it that way, but I’m so glad he didn’t. It was the cherry on top of the comedy aspect of the whole piece. I’m not a fan of straight-up horror, but I love well done comedy-horrors and this was a masterpiece.
ohmygod - between Peele’s planned reboot of The Twilight Zone and this, I am so excited... he’s the perfect person for these projects!!
Right?! I mean, we’re so conditioned to all of this - especially in film - that even though I was keenly aware of what I was watching and who made this piece of art, my reaction when the cop car pulled up as he was choking “the pretty white girl” on the ground was “oh fuck - now he’s going to spend the rest of his…
Yup. Lovecraft even wrote a poem about it - spelled it out so succinctly, but nope, it doesn’t count in their minds (and they’ll even start petitions to make sure his ugly effigy makes its way into the homes of PoC winners of the highly esteemed World Fantasy Award) -

Love this concept and I look forward to seeing pics of the installations!
Exactly. Not only that, but Swift is clearly leveraging the whole thing (whether planned ahead of time as such or not) as a huge PR boost, which only serves to line her gold-laden pockets even more...
