did anyone write about the top two movies of 2025 both having tragic-mulatto storylines

[kelton @kelto_n]

apropos of nothing, as a black copy editor, I think it’s interesting that everyone now uses the well-intentioned but inelegant “enslaved person” but still says “transatlantic slave trade” … thus laying bare the former’s frequent awkwardness

I'm sorry but I'm a dedicated minimalist-shoe runner and even I know these are hideous https://t.co/iZpwuhp3bT

on God's internet, it's very easy for a well-intentioned person to get dunked on w/o shades of social and historical contingency. Marx would not merely say, "capitalism bad!" but that its function as a social order, always more or less in doubt, comes eventually to full collapse

Capitalism is unnatural. Capitalism created poverty. Poverty is manmade.

I actually don’t think Kendrick is a “political artist” per se but rather an artist for whom the sociohistorical struggles of black ppl make a canvas for the dramas he considers more thrilling, for better or worse: “freedom,” rags-to-riches, spirituality, good and bad health

I reviewed a new book about R.E.M., as well as @Grace_E_Hale's outstanding Cool Town. Very grateful to Mara Smith, @FabriceRobinet, @naamanzhou, @kelto_n, and everyone else at @NewYorker. https://t.co/jL7O0ZgP7J

My intern Albert Cho did great work on this investigation. We found a gigantic stealth subsidy to luxury developers in below-market tax assessments. The amount of money involved is staggering. Read our investigation here: https://t.co/bwpAFkD1Ot
