I can physically feel in my bones that this exact interaction word for word actually happened

@AlJean @MikeReissWriter @TheSimpsons Phil Hartman, man, what a guy. Certainly one of the all time greatest performers. You guys gave him the perfect material!
English
Around 35 years ago @MikeReissWriter George Meyer Jeff Martin and I were doing a rewrite in a tiny room and we created Troy McClure, who you may remember from @TheSimpsons A magical day…
English
@lovelythings26 yeah like it was definitely something that Michael should have at least been told about ahead of time, if not scrapped entirely because of the risk for offence to someone of his background, but the celebration itself in that culture isn’t intrinsically racist
English
@NotYungBae So now we have to be educated on what this is about yet these ignoramuses couldn’t double check American history to know that THIS is never going to be cool with any Black American born in any era.
English
I believe this is part of the Kaapse Klopse celebration, where black South Africans wear what is considered blackface (in the West) to celebrate resistance against oppression, rather than mock black features

Still not over this video. You can tell he was disgusted

The whole use of face paint was for anonymity, and the exaggerated suits were a deliberate mocking of white slaver garb. If anything, it’s an anti-racist festival, and the fact that MJ presumably wasn’t told this is shocking
English
I hope @25YearsAgoLive covers the Jackson 5 reunion concert that occurred on 10th September 2001 to help renew Michael’s image, only for the events of the following morning to completely overshadow the concert
English
this how Gray killed Chantelle
2001 Live@25YearsAgoLive
A Canadian man (name concealed to protect his identity) visiting his mother’s home to attend her funeral trips over the open dishwasher and is impaled on the knives sticking out of the cutlery tray. He dies, joining his recently-deceased mother in the afterlife.
English
this whole theory can be explained simply by the fact that Xscape was based on rehearsals/outtakes, which is why Michael’s voice doesn’t sound 100% right - he wasn’t trying to get it just right like he would if it were a final studio recording
Ryan Swen/孫天行/Sun Tien-hsing@swen_ryan
I would absolutely be curious to watch a film about the alleged decision to pad out the first Michael Jackson posthumous album with a soundalike doing the vocals on three songs (out of ten)
English
@Etanarachel I think he could also rely on 99% of the public being so utterly starstruck by the fact that he was Michael fucking Jackson that they simply wouldn’t register a lot of the inappropriate behaviour
English
He wasn't socially awkward though. He was extremely charming and charismatic. His childlike behavior was an affect he put on because he liked to think of himself as a child, and because he could get away with it.
Tatum@TatumMckenziiee
@g00doldays I think he was just severely socially awkward. You have to realize that he was abused everyday starting from age 7 and was forced to work constantly. He never had a childhood and was isolated from other children
English
hey man what makes you think i wanna see incredible footwork and masterful dancing in a movie about Michael Jackson?
Yoshi@ja_y007
Why does the footage of him performing, keep breaking with random mid-level cuts to small parts of the audiences. This is terrible direction I'm ngl. #Michael #AntoineFuqua
English
watching these episodes with my partner and I was physically fighting back tears when he said goodbye to her. like fucking hell it is heartbreaking

@dyingscribe Be funny if it briefly turned to nighttime when he got zapped

Electrocutions are always so quick
that’s kind of a blessing
NEXTA@nexta_tv
😰 Watch this: tried to chase away a monkey — burned alive In India, a man used a long metal pole to scare the animal off his property but hit a power line. He was electrocuted and did not survive.
English
@Etanarachel As a side note, I feel like every Jewish showrunner or creative is invariably questioned as to whether their work is pro-Israel, even when it obviously isn’t. I think it’s a tacit form of antisemitism.
English
I'm confused how people don't get that Rachel Menken is clearly not the same type of Jewish as characters like Faye or Roger's second wife Jane. She's very clearly not from a fully assimilated secular family.
Sturgeon's Law@Sturgeons_Law
@Etanarachel It really wasn't central, not just not as central. Most American Jews' relationship to it was largely abstract. Donations were as concrete as it got for most people. But all that aside, the way it's written still clearly concerns Weiner's own views.
English
Sure, maybe Matthew Weiner is a Zionist, but the notion that the first Jewish character in the show is primarily a mouthpiece for his own personal views on Israel is flimsy as hell
English
I don’t think it’s “obviously” Weiner’s own personal view, I think it’s very clearly what a lot of American Jews were thinking and feeling about Israel in 1960
Sturgeon's Law@Sturgeons_Law
Friend's watching Mad Men S1 for the 1st time. It's funny how obvious it is that Rachel's explanation of Israel's importance is just Weiner's view. The "utopia" bit & "I'll visit but I don't have to live there, but it just has to exist" are presented as deep & weighty ideas lol.
