Evergreen reaction to most projects announced these days. π«
Likeβ¦I can think of quite a few tech companies that would earn a shit ton of good will if they helped fund a major transportation system, but thatβs never gonna happen!
As far as I know, quite a few billionaires and tech companies still exist in the bay, and yet the underfunded BART is under threat of shutting down a bunch of stations within the next few years. Soβ¦Iβm not really sure their presence matters all that much to the average person.
I noticed that too. The bachelorettes always just look like insta-ready sleepovers for grown women. The men at least get to do real activities, even if those activities are also pretty mid.
One would think that 10 seasons in, Netflix would've upped the budget by now for these LOVE IS BLIND bachelor/bachelorette parties. Looks hella basic and depressing; I do not believe that they are actually enjoying themselves!
I will give him some credit: He had good strategy. But also, and especially: literally everyone but maybe two people wanted to jump his bones
Never trust overalls and a smile

Maura represents the last 10 years of American politics; no I will not explain myself further
This is one of the best movies I saw last year, and will very likely be one of the best movies released this year.
Hard agree, been saying this since the nominations. In what world!!??
On Criterion channel! (until the end of the month, I think)
Also, I want all of Chantelβs outfits. So fucking FLY
Ariyan A. Johnson stands in front of the Flatbush Ave subway sign in JUST ANOTHR GIRL ON THE IRT, wearing a multicolored bucket hat, a lime green tee, and a black jumper
Rewatched JUST ANOTHER GIRL ON THE IRT tonight instead of doing something else and I love it, happy BLACK HISTORY MONTH to meeeeeeee
They now look like cousins of Bratz
Will shamelessly use this bit of weird-ass news to re-up a reported feature I did a decade ago about how a committee of black scholars advised o the creation of Addy. The look and texture of her hair was definitely carefully considered:

Omg they gave Addy Walker slicked-down baby hairs lololololol π π«

OMG. Can we ever just have nice things???
Yeah, that's certainly part of it -- to some extent, you have to pay to play. But then there are so many other factors, especially rank-choice voting, which also need to be considered when talking about the outcomes.
If you have genuinely managed to avoid the various DISCOURSESβ’οΈre: the nominees this year -- I'm legit happy for you!
There are just so many factors to consider. On top of everything else (biases, etc.), it was a genuinely strong year for movies, and while I would love the three SINNERS stars to win their categories, some other nominated performances were great too in different ways (Hawke, Moura, and Fanning esp.)
Whatever happens, SINNERS (and probably a handful of other Oscar-nominated movies this year, like THE SECRET AGENT) will stand the test of time.
I've already made peace with the fact that SINNERS will likely strike out in many, if not most categories, especially performance. It took me a really long time to get here, but my emotional investment in awards season overall these days only goes as deep as what's required of me for my job.
I can understand that. But I think we also need to unpack how that association with blackness was formed for this particular person, and how that might affect black people he encounters. I don't have an answer; I just hope at least as much grace is given to Lindo and Jordan for however they feel.
Iβm not going to pretend as if Iβve ever thought much about Touretteβs. I would like to understand if itβs βnormalβ for someone who has it to shout βniggerβ when suddenly in the presence of a black person (as opposed to just exclaiming it randomly)

Wow. Like...how??? (I know how, but still, like...HOW????)
Omg no and I want it to stay that way π
Woody, Buzz & co. have officially had more existential crises than I ever hope to have in a lifetime
Ok my pick would be Sallyβs fake orgasm scene in Katzβs Deli
Leaping and spinning to the genius lyricism of MLK is *SO DEEP*

Yeah. Iβve seen a dance to βI Have a Dream,β and it was suuuuper cringe π«
