28.02.2026 03:29 β π 29 π 1 π¬ 2 π 0As 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.
28.02.2026 03:28 β π 51 π 6 π¬ 1 π 0I 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.

Maura represents the last 10 years of American politics; no I will not explain myself further

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«

23.02.2026 19:03 β π 6 π 0 π¬ 1 π 0Yeah, 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.
23.02.2026 19:00 β π 1 π 0 π¬ 0 π 0If you have genuinely managed to avoid the various DISCOURSESβ’οΈre: the nominees this year -- I'm legit happy for you!
23.02.2026 18:58 β π 1 π 0 π¬ 0 π 0There 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.)
23.02.2026 18:56 β π 1 π 0 π¬ 1 π 0Whatever happens, SINNERS (and probably a handful of other Oscar-nominated movies this year, like THE SECRET AGENT) will stand the test of time.
23.02.2026 17:28 β π 48 π 4 π¬ 3 π 0I'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.
23.02.2026 17:23 β π 50 π 5 π¬ 2 π 0I 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)
