The effects of social media on how we communicate and interact as a whole is well researched, but okay.

Sure, the quantity of social interaction has gone up... but has the quality?

Really curious to know what you thought of the show.

If people hear it, they might like it... but it’s gotta happen more organically, imo. I mean, presenting the artist in a “why do people listen to X when there’s Y” kinda set doesn’t really help because you’re grounding the introduction in negativity. Not to mention, maybe this—a response about Thomas Sowell in a post…

Eh, I think it’s genre and general audience appeal than anything... you hardly hear about Mirel Wagner or Andreya Triana either. Lianne La Havas, Emile Sande, Corrine Bailey Rae, and Esperanza Spalding get some mention, but they’re not as big names. Ala.Ni got an uptick because of Cherry Blossom being on Russian Doll. …

Will this release mark the triumphant return of thumbprint identification?

What are you talking about? The Temple kids living in those 2 story houses converted into quadruple or more apartments are all saints. /s

I thought it was a wax statue of him.

Yeah, I think Jay changed up his hair from getting all cut down to nothing to hide to just letting it show for what it is.

lol. I still remember that scene because of the score. Man, MI:2 had an excellent score. Hans Zimmer, and Lisa Gerrard... such a dumb-fun movie.

Had they actually released Star Ocean V on my platform of choice, I would have played it. Or just bought it for my stack. Don’t think I’d have ever bothered with the mobile though. But eh, so it goes.

Yeah, I mean she could have been doing both things the whole time. Just... one got attention way more than the other.

I mean, if it’s not Microsoft, it must be good. Right? RIGHT?

CNN’s Don Lemon, the dumbest man on television, insinuated last night while asking a debate “question” that I was a racist, when in fact I am “the least racist person in the world.” Perhaps someone should explain to Don that he is supposed to be neutral, unbiased & fair,.....

So stoked for this. Think it’ll be more fun than Cooties was.

Oh, I go back to prediaspora because the n-word was never really a willing descriptor; white people made it and there was never anything positive about it. Prediasporans had their own cultures, their own names for their peoples and so forth, and the trade and chattel stripped all that away reduced it to the “n-word.”…

If you’re looking for a new Suikoden with the same spirit and RPG gameplay mechanics of the old games... sure.

...also, words that are reclaimed by communities that once were targets of derision/mistreatment/abuse through the use of that word are only ever truly reclaimed by said communities. Communities that are outside of that in-group do not have the right to use the reclaimed word in its reclaimed form, because that’s…

So, The Walking Dead but targetting the CW/YA audiences? Okay...

Yeah, I grabbed the first few TPB volumes or so to see what this was about when they announced it and... uh... I just hope they don’t follow the same beats as the source material be cause it just went downhill quickly. Didn’t even make it through the second volume.
