@kyleprohaska Right but if it was “Reform” or “Rethink” instead of “Defund” it would stifle those weaponizing it as a fear tactic and the others confusing the meaning based on policy preference.

[J.D. Funari @jdfunari]

@polimayo Great call out. Playing GTA V recently it struck me how well the ambiance of a city night (the distant motorcycles, dogs barking, etc.) is recreated. Sound is thankless and invisible when done well.

[J.D. Funari @jdfunari]

@matthewfederman Been there done that

[J.D. Funari @jdfunari]

@cynicole78 It’s a very misleading phrase if taken at face value which is clear from the many people explaining the meaning in this thread. Also doesn’t help many conversations are using it interchangeably with abolish.

@JoelVValden @James_Edgington @trailertrack Same director: What Lies Beneath. Half the movie is devoted to a red herring the trailer already explicitly spoiled.

[J.D. Funari @jdfunari]

@jvallero3 This just speaks more to how confusing it is. In all the examples I’ve seen it’s been about taking funds from police budgets and reallocating them to community development among other reforms. That’s an idea most can get behind. Abolishment not so much.

[J.D. Funari @jdfunari]

@jvallero3 Defund = reform. It’s a highly misleading phrase.

I’ve been off Twitter and expressed my feelings about current events on other platforms but I’ll say this:

I thought the Tulsa massacre was a fictional plot point in HBO’s Watchmen. Our history has blind spots. Watching #13th on Netflix is a good first step in uncovering them.

[J.D. Funari @jdfunari]

@Chris_Osborn It’s incredible!

[J.D. Funari @jdfunari]

@Chris_Stuckmann Stronger is highly underrated. Messed me up good.

[J.D. Funari @jdfunari]

@JoshRaby One of the only times I’d argue the US remake is better than original.

[J.D. Funari @jdfunari]

@keithcalder I’m guessing that scene in Shame got you good?

[J.D. Funari @jdfunari]

Turns out The Dress was oddly prescient about our future state. All looking at the same thing, utterly convinced our own perspective was correct, baffled how anyone could see it differently.

[J.D. Funari @jdfunari]

@BrianWCollins I’m sorry.

[J.D. Funari @jdfunari]

@DannyTRS Oof that was a rough one.

[J.D. Funari @jdfunari]

@keithcalder Yes, high risk reward but when it hits...

[J.D. Funari @jdfunari]

@betamanic Looks delicious. Stouts are my fav.

[J.D. Funari @jdfunari]

@betamanic Took me a second watch before I realized how damn good it was. A third to know it’s an all-timer.

In almost all cases I would agree store brand is every bit as good as name brand, with one major exception: cotton swabs vs. Q-tips. The latter is so significantly superior in both structural integrity and cotton density that using anything less is futile.
