You should disqualify anyone who thinks Black peoples job is overcoming white peoples racism from all serious conversation

"You couldn't bring yourself to vote for her," you say to the person who has repeatedly said "I voted for her."
It was absolutely her campaign's job to find a way to win despite racism and misogyny. That's the job.

I'm sorry, but this is nuts. This has never been a requirement for any male candidate in the past. It's always been up to the voters to do the right thing for the country, but somehow when it's a Black woman running, she has to show up at your door and hold your hand and make promises.
Unlearn this.

Fuck you.
It's literally WHITE WOMEN who blew it.
She lost because America hates women and especially Black women.
And SHAME the fuck on you for contributing to this.
LIAR.

"Harris lost because of racism and misogyny!"

Yeah, that clearly played some (maybe even a big) role in her loss. But if you run for office, figuring out how to win despite that is part of the job of getting elected. It's not fair, but it's how it is.

Otherwise, what exactly are you suggesting?

Acting like I’m scolding voters (like you finger-pointing jerkoffs) instead of saying those in power had a responsibility to make sure this didn’t happen again and failed to do so is hilariously obtuse.

Anyways, back to smoking weed in my backyard. ✌🏻

Be that as it may, it ignores two key things…

1) what about Gaza?
2) pulling this self-serving bullshit at a funeral is incredibly galling

How did our culture go from celebrating body positivity to aggressively-marketed weight loss pills & jabs this fast? Swear, I got *zero* judgment about anyone’s choicesβ€”everyone knows their own self/body best & should do what makes them healthy & happy. Just wish we weren’t bombarded by these ads.

The AFI Should Bring Back Its Top 100 Movies List It helped create the canon for a generation. Then it stopped.

Good piece by @mattsinger.bsky.social

I, too, worked my way through the AFI list, watching films like The Best Years of Our Lives and The Bridge on the River Kwai because of it

Sorry to get radical but I don’t think it’s my job or yours to embrace, accept, understand - and certainly not to use - the thing being sold to us as AI. I don’t like any part of it, so I won’t. I’m missing out? Good, that’s what I want. You’re worried about me missing out? That’s fuckin weird, man.
