Tierra Whack says she “washed” Tyler, The Creator, A$AP Rocky & Lil Yachty on their track 'T.D' 👀

She also said that she’s an underrated lyricist … Thoughts?

The capitalists have now created an entire industry around children being shot in schools

Do we understand this?

[Jamarrius @YungxJayy]

They’re definitely going to end up using this on students, by the way.

They say AI stands for “artificial intelligence” but it really stands for anti-intellectualism

[Brian Duffield @BrianDuffield]

Real ones are excited for this because it’s the first movie that Bradford Young has shot since SOLO.

NYU Prof. Ruby Thelot on why everyone suddenly cares about taste:

"I wrote a book called A Few Essays on Taste, where I make the case that taste is not just aesthetic preference. Taste is a way for people to consume virtuously. The question of taste emerged in the 17th century, at a time where people needed guidance as to how to consume properly."

"In 1688, the Bill of Rights happens in England after the Glorious Revolution, and the nobility's powers are restrained. As they lose political power, they also lose cultural power. At the same time you have the growth of the British colonies, immense amounts of wealth being generated, and suddenly you have this nouvelle bourgeoisie, this new elite. And there's a belief that this emergence of excessive luxury will lead to the decay of society."

"It is in the vacuum, in the reduction of the cultural power of the previous nobility, that the question of taste emerges. What's interesting to me is that we're in a similar position now. We're entering a similar industrial revolution. We're in the midst of immense amounts of wealth being created, and we're asking ourselves, how do we consume virtuously? That is why the question of taste is emerging. It mirrors 17 and 18th century England."

Words have meaning. Emily Wilson should know that “Black best friend” isn’t a label to throw around. This paragraph lacks refinement and is racist in the way she reduces these actors to what they’re clearly not.

If she sees them as that, then that’s a reflection of her.

Odyssey plot hole: Why was the Cyclops making goats cheese with no profit incentive or shareholders to create value for?

[eMJayCee @Campbino]

I find it absolutely hilarious that the main criticism of this film is “Nolan didn’t adapt it how I wanted him to.” And that sentence about the themes is so utterly disingenuous that it feels like it’s coming from an ultra right winger 👀 lol

EXCLUSIVE: Imax China is preparing to dedicate the vast majority of its nearly 800-screen network to Christopher Nolan‘s “The Odyssey” when the film opens in mainland China on Aug. 14.

Nolan and Matt Damon are set to arrive in Beijing on July 30 for what is billed as the first-ever red carpet event held for a commercial film at the China National Film Museum, a government institution that also hosted the original Chinese launch of “Avatar” in Imax’s early years in the country.

Darializa Avila Chevalier: “I do believe what’s happening is a genocide and it’s a moral injury to the American people that our tax dollars are being used to enact this genocide. If you cannot stand against a genocide, it makes me wonder whether you can stand for the things working people need whether that’s healthcare, housing, a Green New Deal”

People want Puerto-Rico to accept colonization so badly. Instead of saying "why do you support PR independence", it should be we support the full restoration of Sovereignty to all of the territories, and restore Indigenous Alaskan and Hawai'i Sovereignty.

[Jeff D. Lowe @JeffDLowe]

The fact that one person made both of these movies in a ~4 year span is absolute madness. That’s my takeaway.

[doctor idk @bigmonkeong]

Donald Trump has earned more money in his first and second year, in his second term as president, than in the previous 60 years of his life, per Bloomberg.

‘BLACK PANTHER 3’ is officially announced.

Ryan Coogler will return to direct.

[Black @BlackLilith_25]

I am the stone that the builder refused
I am the visual, the inspiration
That made Lady sing the blues I'm the spark that makes your idea bright
The same spark that lights the dark
So that you can know your left from your right I am the ballot in your box, the bullet in the gun
The inner glow that lets you know to call your brother son
The story that just begun, the promise of what's to come
And I'ma remain a soldier 'til the war is won
