@Drakoyas@Plinkydinks No it isn't, it's like if BLM organizers invited a queer Black woman to speak then rescinded the offer after finding out her speech also criticized straight people. https://t.co/MZrFw6ZfMH
We need to rally behind this woman, she is putting herself in a very vulnerable position to advocate for our people and receiving very little support in the face of hostility from those with more privilege
Stupid basketball players are embarrassing at least football players and other contact sports have constant traumatic brain injuries to explain their mental incapacity, you dribble a ball you should be able to know how to spell losing you considering you played for the Wizards.
Kalshi offered New York a plan that would've brought in $10B over five years for public schools and healthcare. Hochul's response is to ban them to protect the casino lobby.
politicians loosing the plot.
Makes you wonder what really motivates these politicians 🤔🤔

The existence of people too stupid for Christopher Nolan movies is not an excuse to make overly expository dialogue, it only makes the art worse. Oh no some portion of the audience is going to be alienated, instead he caters his movies to the people who audibly ask mid movie.
@Mayor_Ray_@LAtweets22 No let's not conflate a lie being told and a player cozying up to the right wing going on the modern Der Angiff while throwing the queer fanbase under the bus are the same thing.
@KantKaneki@wtflanksteak And no this is not what mean by the Black friend trope it's specifically a confidant that the white lead can talk to which Zendaya,Himesh Patel, and Corey Hawkins all fill for Odysseus and Antinous respectivley.
@KantKaneki@wtflanksteak The term doesn't apply to every Black character in the movie and she isn't saying they all are that specifically three are so she isn't being overly broad.
@KantKaneki@wtflanksteak The physical appearance of fantastical elements is why it's baffling Nolan went with the oh well this might be a manifestation of his guilty conscience.
@KantKaneki@wtflanksteak Yea I read the whole article, her review of it from a classicists point of reference is spot on she isn't reviewing it as a movie which is good.
@KantKaneki@wtflanksteak Is she Athena? She could easily be read as just a figment of Odysseus' imagination. She didn't flatten Black and Brown people she is talking about the roles she was given which they weren't given much.
@KantKaneki@wtflanksteak Like if you are reading the critique of Black best friend trope to be a literal Black best friend you might not want to be saying it's other people that are dumb.
@KantKaneki@wtflanksteak She did that's what this paragraph is saying! She didn't say Haymish Patel was underutilized just that he played the role of POC friend, while none of the other crew gets any sort of characterization notice how she left him out when talking about the characters that were.
@KantKaneki@wtflanksteak Zendaya, Himesh Patel and Corey Antonio Hawkins are the ones that play the Black best friend which is where the most comes in, they were all underwritten the movies 3 hours you couldn't find the time to get Travis Scott to be a aoidoi would it kill you to let him sing.
@KantKaneki@wtflanksteak He's supposed to be a bard it would be nice for him to you know be a bard in the movie he doesn't really do the role of a bard and again most does not mean every person she listed her point is that the Black actors were under utilized I agree with that.
@KantKaneki@wtflanksteak Do you know what most means? That doesn't mean every Black actor was playing the best friend role some were playing the haunting victim of male violence like Zenday and Lupita.
