Gloria says in this article that she’s been told in the last year that shows centered on an all-Latino family are “too political.” I’ve also heard in the last year that my work, which tends to be all-Black, is also “too political.” If you miss minorities on screen, that might be why.

The '3.5% rule': How a small minority can change the world Nonviolent protests are twice as likely to succeed as armed conflicts – and those engaging a threshold of 3.5% of the population have never failed to bring about change.

America needs 12 million people protesting daily to remove the entire Trump regime.

WASHINGTON (AP) — Claudette Colvin, whose refusal to move seats on a segregated bus helped spark the civil rights movement, dies at 86.

KP trade was fine even in hindsight. Got off a bad contract and got an expiring deal in exchange. building around Trae isn’t theoretical physics. He needs a really good drop big. The last good year of Clint Capela was 2021 and they went to ECF. Then Clint fell off and so did the Hawks.

Trae was averaging 29 pts, 10 assts and 2.5 tos on 52/54/88 shooting splits in three full games back before the Knicks game. The Hawks wins before Trae came back were against bad teams and the losing started before he came back. The Hawks have one 6’8 center and can’t rebound or protect the rim.

Exactly!

Trae can’t do anything about his size and two of the three guys that were supposed to vault the team to contention (KP and Kennard) have been complete non-factors. Also, Trae has played basically 3 AND A HALF GAMES since coming back from injury with a neutral +/-.

With Porzingis not playing the Hawks have ZERO rim protection and that’s really bad under normal circumstances in the NBA, but it’s catastrophic when Trae plays. And the Hawks haven’t had good rim protection since the ECF run, which is why they’ve stayed in the play-in no matter what Trae does.

But that one white guy couldn’t get a job in Hollywood because woke!!!!

Hawks fans are hilarious in the worst way…

Having just finished rewatching the original Gladiator, and having not yet seen Gladiator 2, the Lucious/Maximus retcon is egregious…

Marcus Aurelius should have kept his mouth shut, though. Bad bad choke.

Being 14 years old, watching this movie, and being introduced to Richard Harris for the first time…

Gladiator (original) rewatch with my sis. Love this movie from the bottom of my heart and I wish that it was longer.
