Citizen.Coping

Folks with Tourette’s don’t randomly yell ourbursts in foreign or dead languages.

The outbursts only include things that are known and said.

If it was such a coinky dink it would’ve happened when it wasn’t solely two black men on stage.

MBJ + Delroy on red carpet

Mad respect to these two Black men. Michael B. Jordan + Delroy Lindo deserve all the respect + grace to endure what they did on an international stage.
Cool. Composed. Collected. Unmatched.

Just pulled the Plug from HellSite, where I’ve had an account since 2009.

Next stop: #AMAZON. If you’re still on AMZ, pls buy my award-winning nonfiction books, esp the two that respectively cover race and the U.S. News Biz, and Black Mental Health. They are Legit, even if AMZN’s Founder is Trash📚

I would think that if you unintentionally call someone the N word you could intentionally apologize..

Nolan said it helped that "DtMF" was originally performed in Spanish, rather than English.

"I love to do Spanish translations,” she says. The language’s structure and similar vowels makes for an easier translation into Japanese.

You can joke about Pam Bondi’s ridiculous unprofessionalism all you want, but I’m deeply shocked by it: She acts as if she fears absolutely no consequences, convinced that there will be no more political power transfers. — This should shake everyone to their core.

Re: last RT: There's clearly an originating thread I've missed, but I'm 👀 folks refer to various commercial platforms as "commons." No. Pls read Elinor Ostrom.

Relatedly, I've encountered not one, but *two*, artists' stmts today in which they refer to their own work as "miraculous." Similarly, no.

New York Mayor Mamdani is breaking his promise on library funding. Fitting that a few days after Valentine’s Day, New Yorkers may be reaching the end of their Mamdani honeymoon. Earlier this week, the Mayor released his preliminary budget for the 2027 fiscal year,…

“The power of Mayor Mamdani’s candidacy + early tenure have been rooted in this communal rhetoric of a city that works for everyone. If NY is to be a model for the nation of how a progressive city can work, we can’t neglect public libraries…”

Oh I'm very excited! Not only do I love Orwell (Animal Farm was my first proper adult novel) but I also loved Raoul Peck's work on I Am Not Your Negro.

The Tailoring Black Style exhibition was great. I didn't realize how far back it went in terms of Black style.

I have some posts tagged #Superfine.

For the local artists, I just need to make the time..

His tic is racist AF, and so is he.

He should have been removed from the audience. They continued to subject these Black men of excellence to this racism.

It's real simple. When you don't use racial slurs they don't come out when you're drunk, mad, by accident, or w Tourettes. For all you mofos pretending the reaction would've been completely different had his tic been to shout KIKE at Jewish actors, we see you.

I totally get it.

"Orwell understood how power works, and the lengths that people, classes, political parties and dictators would go to keep it.

So much of this is not new. Only the means, the conduits of misinformation, and the overall enshittification have changed."

BBC Two - Moses Jones, Episode 3 The case becomes personal for Moses as he tries to protect Joy.

I know her from British TV, even before Watchmen.

She was on a UK show called Moses Jones in 2009. Eamonn Walker from Oz, toon

And on Luther more recently.

She does such a good job with her American accent.

But the gag is you do actually have to have something to show people to get those first client gigs going.

I got the initial referrer from twitter on 2021 and she chose me bc I had links to back up my replies.
