I'm back. #Loki - a half review https://t.co/NbOaKIHlHP

[Variety @Variety]

Jack Antonoff slammed people who use AI to make art and music as "godless whores":

"So to everyone who is gassed up about the new ways you can fake making art, by all means drive right off that cliff. We're genuinely happy to see you go. Generations coming will be engaging in the ancient ritual of writing, recording and performing as it comes to us from God." https://t.co/K5XI8DbKse

The responses to that Chris Brown review really do highlight the contradictions in his image. You cannot be the unrepentant bad boy of the music industry *and* the unfairly maligned victim of industry politics and cancel culture.

I cannot express the extent to which this company needs to be aggressively dismantled, its assets seized and its data storage destroyed completely. It is a deeply evil organisation run by deeply evil people.

Yet they are still deepening their access in the NHS! Get them out.

I remember when Soul Plane leaked six months before its release. The first-time director tried to convince MGM to just put it out early, but they waited—and by the time it hit theaters, so many people had already seen it that it flopped. He never got another studio film after that.

My agent at the time even said, “It’s too bad your people don’t support Black movies.” I fired her on the spot. Soul Plane did become a cult classic and I get residuals still to this day.

'Sylvia Wynter is a radical philosopher from the Caribbean who explored modern history from the perspective of slavery, the Middle passage and plantation economics. In this animated documentary short, Wynter calls on us to rethink the very notion of what it is to be human.'

something I’ve observed is that many people have low standards for filmmaking (editing, sound, cinematography, lighting) but high standards of morality for characters and dialogue. this strips the film down to its parts and overall “message”

Maybe the most important political book since 2020

STEPHEN A. SMITH: "The fact that I am candidate for the presidency of the United States of America according to the polling for the Democratic Party is the most clear-cut evidence of how pathetic of a state of affairs that exist within the Democratic Party today."

"I have no business being on that list whatsoever. I am not qualified. But it just shows how pathetic things are at this particular moment in time."

Will get less attention but this is way less ambiguous than the salute imo

Having a "proud Black queer" woman to cite without having to deal with an actual human is basically the endpoint of the last ten years of liberal discourses.

People thought I was making this up when a TV exec told me this last year.

to give you guys an idea of how far black legacy media has fallen, this 1970 James Baldwin interview on Zionism was also published in Essence — we’ve become a deeply unserious people
