@hbomax's #weownthiscity - based on @justin_fenton book - has become even more relevant now: some of the parallels btw BPD's Gun Trace Task Force MO, which came to light in '17, and what's surfacing in #Memphis within MPD after #TyreNichols are incredible and incredibly upsetting

Camera lingering on #JohnTravolta not clapping and not laughing at the - awesome - "for you Florida viewers, we are going to have a GAY night": priceless. #AcademyAwards#Oscars
Just finished watching the last of the #AcademyAwards2022 best picture nominees: #CODA and it is now at the top of my list. So poetic and heart-warming in its simplicity. Loved it.
