@ImNotOwned the guardrails have become prison bars that make the regular order of business impossible and create strong perverse incentives for members of congress while at the same time unduly empowering the executive out of necessity

@ImNotOwned The “only in downtown” and the “everywhere but downtown” people should be made to fight to the death for the entertainment of the city

Regardless of what one thinks about the validity or use of an electoral tactic, surely deploying it over a conflict where tens of thousands are dying is a bit different than deploying it because a white man won a senate nomination over a black woman
The United States versus Elon R. Musk@Needle_of_Arya

Funny how when Black folks take a page out of the DSA handbook and go "uncommitted," "3rd-party," leave the top line of the ballot blank, or stay home in protest, (especially white) DSAs get mad. If "earn my vote" is the new thing now, then Black folks also get to do it.

@progress2trees @nikicaga Absolutely, because he had never met Rev Jesse Jackson, he was not there to give his condolence he was there to figure out a way to get the Black vote without campaigning for it. Shameful.

Y’all, come on. I used to work for an opera company. My checks—which I needed to pay rent—bounced more than once. Glib phrasing aside, Timothée Chalamet is right: very few people care about opera. It sucks, but that’s reality.
The Hollywood Reporter@THR

American opera singer Isabel Leonard responds to Timothée Chalamet: “Honestly, I’m shocked that someone so seemingly successful can be so ineloquent and narrow-minded in his views about art while considering himself as [an] artist as I would only imagine one would as an actor... Only a weak person/artist feels the need to diminish in fact the VERY arts that would inspire those who are interested in slowing down, to do exactly that.” hollywoodreporter.com/movies/movie-n…

@downtheline18 @seungity_ @Etanarachel The fact that there is no slur in the English language for white people that is anywhere close to the equivalent slurs for black people or even other minority groups is evidence of systemic racism. If society had less of that, coprolalics would be able to shout slurs at us all

Natural endpoint of the influencerification of film criticism = showering your movie in praise means nothing anymore
Andrew J. Salazar@AndrewJ626

Tbf I don't think people *not* believing some of the positive Project Hail Mary reactions has anything to do with the movie or filmmakers. Rather, I think this skepticism comes with influencers who can't make a positive reaction without sounding like they just won the lottery.

@schicchi_gianni @billybinion @Ecclesiasticu12 It’s about how many people are engaging with the form. If you think the audience compromised of everyone who has ever seen an opera is anything more than several orders of magnitude less than the equivalent for film you’re in denial.
