Hot take: Street 2 was THE best basketball video game. Street 2 took the house NBA Jam built and gave it style.

People have done a lot of self exploration in the last few months, it’s not all going to be needlepoint and deep thoughts.

Morrissey is a racist

“Amateurs shouldn’t critique art.”

From what I see, the critiques wishes to lighten the subject up.

OK. Well, as a professional photographer my opinion is more valid, oui?

These are shit. They look like they didn’t go through a modicum of post processing.

Which shouldn’t matter because a good image starts in front of the camera. Like my college prof used to say...you can’t polish a turd. And these photos were doomed…

Bullshit, elitist bullshit that reserves the right of opinion for a narrow-focused, insular few.

Nah; that’s like saying that if you’re not an automotive engineer, you can’t complain about the wheels falling off your new car. You don’t need to be an expert to see an issue.

Cree must have been too busy doing part time work on Better Things to take those roles in the first place.

It’s a damn shame that a job people used to consider a noble pursuit has to be drug into the gutter by the actions of a few who should never have been police in the first place.

Saying “thats the point, its a super hero game” is not conducive to thoughtful analysis and dicussion, and serves only to scatter bomb the conversation rather than to engange in anything meaningful. All media and art is worthy of frank and in depth discussion.

It’s OK not to post when you have absofuckinglutely nothing of value to contribute. You should try it.

Part of the core beliefs of whiteness is their exceptionalism. It’s the belief in an ideal kind of fictional man that most of them never even strive to be. While that’s what they’re told, what they are taught and see every day is toxic masculinity. And in that way that author had on two sets of blinders. He can’t see…

Because people don’t want progress, they want a return to what they imagine as/pretend is “normal.”

Tupac spawned a generation of Hotep Machiavellis.

I’m not sure I was this harsh but yeah, when I finally re-watched the Wire years back I kept thinking,

Just say not to what? The democratic process? There isn’t an eye-roll emoji big enough to respond to your nonsense. Elections matter, hundreds of federal judges are at stake, women’s reproductive rights are at stake, 50 years of control of the courts and democracy are at stake.
