But they don’t all try to turn slave-traders into heroes.

I am loathe to defend someone for using the word “edutainment”, but the fact is movies have been distorting and exaggerating history since the birth of the medium. Buzzwords aside, I think Davis and Tennon seem pretty knowledgable about the real story and aware of the limits of of big budget studio filmmaking. The

I mean love brokers

You had me at “unhinged boat captain (Woody Harrelson)”.

I  grew up in a very religious family and extended family. When Kanye became “ born again” I saw so many posts from my family  like this was a big deal. They quiet as shit now.

a great way to kill EV sales in the short term.

They really are just a gang with a badge.

Tell me you know nothing about acting without telling me you know nothing about acting.

Shut the fuck up. 

It would help if people stopped using the word “invest.” That gives it an air of legitimacy that it hasn’t earned and doesn’t deserve.

That’s 100% bullshit and you know it. The decisionmaking part of the brain isn’t even fully developed until your mid-20s. They are specifically and scientifically not old enough to do any of that shit. The fact that it’s legal for them to do it doesn’t mean they’re old enough to do it. Which is also why it’s fucked up

Nah, son, speaking as a woman, this is not the kind of pretend allyship we need. We don’t need the kind of allyship that says it’s cool for men in their 30s to seek us out when we just turn 18 and then fuck us up. No thank you to ALL of that. That has nothing to do with denying someone their agency. It has everything

I work in admissions counseling. I suspect that some of the potential whistleblowers are also struggling with the idea that if everyone is doing it, why should they fall on the sword?

A few friends had a similar conversation with me not too long ago. I went to rehab and everything, and have been sober since. It really is crazy how much your life improves if you just let it. About to hit my 6 months sobriety date, which I know isn’t that long, but for me it’s a lifetime.

There isn’t a single “good” cop. In all likelihood your dad is an honest, upstanding person. But all cops are bad. They exist in and reinforce a completely broken system. They protect other bad cops, either explicitly or implicitly. They enforce racist laws. They intentionally practice bad policing, either through

Excellent write up. Thanks for taking the time to put this together. Honestly if she was doing it to denigrate us, then that would be a problem. We seriously have so many larger issues (real and imaginary) we need to be concerned about.

Listen, if people don’t even understand the difference between someone having an accent because they grew up in New York City (e.g. Awkwafina) vs someone putting on an accent that has nothing to do with their background for commercial gain (e.g. Iggy Azalea) then I doubt they will think for even a moment about where

Seriously. I’ve never understood the problem and will never bother to try.

Nah, this is wasted backlash! Plus the NAACP has nominated racist pieces of shit before, including Donald Sterling. We need to choose our battles  carefully and strategically. This ain't it!
