Hypervisible @hypervisible.blacksky.app · yesterday“Sure, it’s true that many Black people have reclaimed the word. But the lawsuit is about non-Black Tesla employees and managers abusing Black workers — including allegedly hurling the slur at them in ways that don’t sound like anything resembling gestures of ‘respect and endearment.’”
Lunch in Vincennes with Marie-Laure (she took the pic), Henry Wise, Eli Cranor and Mal, and @jordanharper.bsky.social, who I hadn’t seen in too damn long.
So happy to write about two of my favorite films—1990’s AFTER DARK, MY SWEET and THE HOT SPOT—and how both tell the same desperately erotic story, but in very different ways. Get the new issue of THIS IS @cine-matographe.bsky.social from @vinsyn.bsky.social: vinegarsyndrome.com/collections/...

Well, goddamn, Bill's gone and written PAPER MOONSTRUCK. A crime novel that begs to be directed by Norman Jewison or the Cohen Bros.

It’s crazy to me that Hollywood is a nearly completely organic machine for American propaganda and it’s currently being destroyed by the dumbest people alive who think they need it so they can REALLY do propaganda. A crown jewel of American global cultural dominance discarded with barely a whimper

People all seem convinced this is clearly intentionally such a dogwhistle. Anything's possible, I guess, but, I don't know. This isn't far from schizoposting. Why would they use a K-pop star in a Korean ad for Koreans to do that? You're saying it's wrong to carry shoes in your hand?
Caroleeena@caroleeena.bsky.social · last wk.As a long, long, long, long, long time Converse buyer, I will never buy a Converse product ever again. I am sick of the virtue signalling to racists. I see this and I see a man hanged, a white robe that could be a klansman's robe and light shaped like a KKK hat. What the actual hell!?!

ideally i would love to support minority rights but in this case the minority in question is a minority of the population, so it just isn't worth it, mathematically speaking
Picking/packing stock for the Lindbergh High School flea market tomorrow and frankly breaks my heart all the titles I can't bring with me Anyway, come on out tomorrow and I'll sell you some VHS

It’s funny that we have to keep doing studies about this when the counterfactual—remembering a paper that you didn’t write—would be much stranger and require extraordinary explanation!

Dave Willner@dwillner.bsky.social · last wk.Certain kinds of smart people tend to have a "sexy apocalypse" problem when it comes to thinking about risk. E.g. skynet turning everyone in paperclips, while bad, is also *kind of cool and fun* at the same time. Where the reality is that most actual disasters are both stupid and disappointing.

Not only did I meet Robert Kraft, I worked for him. His kid Jonathan asked me to “remove the black music” from my gameday playlist in ‘94 & I refused so they fired me. I was the cheerleader director at the time.  I sued them for wrongful termination and won. So yes, I know that motherfucker.
