Hey Rainey, have you started following any other black blogs since the mass exodus of the VSB crew? I haven’t been able to find a decent substitute for ~2018 TheRoot.

On topic: fuck this guy and anyone who defends him on the basis of “lol black on black feminism is running amuck.”

Not that this is the intention...but maybe the whole idea of being in foreign territory for our main 4some is why we are getting anthology episodes.
The sense of alienation with these side stories where we, the audience, are now outside our comfort zone, are doing our best to find the “Atlanta” vibe we can recognize…

I dunno, I disagree that this fell flat. It revisited a lot of themes that have popped up in the show before (the desire for minority culture as long as you have the ability to contain it or escape from it at will being the big one) and I thought pulled them off pretty well from the jump. Miles can listen to his…

I have to hand it to these goons: by attempting to criminalize the teaching of American history, I think they are making studying history seem cool & dangerous & relevant to young people, which it is extremely difficult to do

Beat me to it but yeah, the law is a poorly written joke that is basically unenforceable and designed solely to scare teachers about what they can teach. The bill to desolve Disney’s special status is equally a mess. Its like Florida has spent the last few years electing idiots to their legislation instead of actual…

When after being yelled at for staying quiet about a shitty law, they came out and said “We don’t like this”

They aren’t, but as far as the GOP is concerned these days, anybody that isn’t goose-stepping to the sound of their chest-pouding is a “woke pedophile.”

Bigotman and the Legion of Q will certainly spawn a series of sequels that will pay off all of the state’s debts.

“Celebrity” cookbooks are the big culprit here, if we stretch that word to include Tiktok and YouTube streamers. My local Barnes & Noble is almost entirely streamers’ cookbooks, sometimes written almost entirely in internet slang that’s already cringeworthy and which will be incomprehensibly dated in a few years.

I do not understand why any black person would fight so hard to be a member of a church that (as noted in the article) didn’t allow black people in any positions of authority until 1978 and, as late as 2013, still had to clarify to its members that black skin wasn’t a literal biblical curse?

Goddamn G.L.O.W., Santa Clarita Diet, MST3K (happy ending there at least), Turn up Charlie, The Babysitter’s Club, I Am Not Okay With This (they wouldn’t even allow the creator to shoot an alternate ending to tie things up), The Dark Crystal, Archive 81...

Or Santa Clarita Diet.

30 million could have financed three more seasons of GLOW.

YOU MEAN LIKE GODDAMN G.L.O.W.???

Whereas an episode of Mystery Science Theater 3000 cost less than $700,000/episode when it was on NetFlix.

Less than $500,000 now that they’ve gone indy.

He’s also threatening twitter today too.

...although there is something hilarious about the link purporting to be about bystanders capturing the incident on video actually linking to Travis Scott’s Coachella performance

Not to mention the fact that most of the takes are pretty bad.

I know this is just the way this whole family of sites are going, but I find it a real bummer the increase of headlines/articles to the effect of “this is the only right way” or “you’re doing it wrong”. It seems unnecessarily divisive and more mean-spirited than the culture/style that got me to read the Takeout in the…

Dang.  It happens, but growing together when life subtly tugs the two apart day after day after day takes a lot of attention and work.
