Killers of the Flower Moon omitted a lot of important context about gender and ethnicity, because Martin Scorsese went and made another film about white dudes.

There are equally great stories to be told of human life outside of war, holocaust, slavery, genocide, HIV/AIDs, homophobia

“Lily Gladstone is the first-ever Native American nominated for Best Actress for her role in Killers of the Flower Moon”

It’s worth noting: This is the 3rd time Gerwig had a picture nominated for Best Picture but was passed over for a Best Director nomination.

You arent wrong, but that isnt even close to the top of the list of things wrong with the Justice System. I mean calling it a justice system is a joke. Its far more predicated on punishing the poor and powerless. That Masterson got convicted of something is more like an anomaly.  We have two main tiers of justice, for…

Showing just a little support for diversity? Try that in a small town...

I would just love to see what happened if he got the nomination. You know how newspapers pre-write obits for old celebrities so they can just get them out ASAP? I bet someone’s got a draft of “Vivek Ramaswamy Is a Left-Wing Plant” ready to go. Do they vote for the scary brown person, or the old white dude who happens…

CNN let some conservative wanker run an opinion piece decrying how fellow conservatives refusing to support Ramaswamy because he is a Hindu are betraying their own values. I guess that would be true if the GOP hadn’t pivoted to courting voters by promising a white Christian ethnostate? They haven’t been subtle about…

In any quasi-professional environment, going to a strip club in this day and age with coworkers would be a no-no, much less a sex club.

Yup. This. I can imagine being on tour, especially early-ish in Lizzo’s career of being a big star, everything was blurred lines. Like, there’s no chance Beyonce hangs out a clubs with her dancers after the show for this very reason. 

I tend to agree with you. Do I think many of the incidents happened? You bet. Do I think Lizzo doesn’t see them as harassment but as “interactions between friends”. Yep.

Because of the collaborative nature of a lot of art, people feel more relaxed than they do in an office setting, which means boundaries get loose.…

Uhhh, good for you?

Perhaps she is in the wrong but the allegations seem exceptionally weak from what I read and why is media quoting the filmmaker when she makes no specific allegations. If she was so bad to work with, site specific things she did wrong otherwise... I’m not interested in some random person’s vague, unsubstantiated…

bingo - that’s what I thought

I think you’re spot on. This article I think sheds some light on it, though I have no idea how he’s managed to convince so many people he’s a tough guy. He’s the most thin-skinned wuss I can imagine.

Do what? You are aware of state rights, the Republican majority in the house, Manchin and Sinema blocking progress in the Senate and a right wing majority Supreme Court? At most, the Biden admin can use the DOJ which it has done. The Biden DOJ is suing several right wing state governments over their rollbacks of civil…

Support Vice President Harris speaking up for truth and democracy in the face of creeping fascism.

I scrolled up to see if maybe this WAS one of the fucking AI articles. I never get what’s going on with Kylie, though. I don’t think she’s a mean person but this is a ludicrously meanspirited article.

Their “contributions” come from people like Jason Aldean ... so yeah.

This is fantastic. Let’s hope it catches on.
