Max will debut Sinners in the U.S. on Friday July 4, when viewers will be able to watch it two ways: by 1) streaming the exact theatrically-released version, and 2) choosing Sinners in Black American Sign Language (BASL).

The literary giant Ngũgĩ wa Thiong'o (and one of my favorite authors) has passed. 😔 Wizard of the Crow is a masterpiece. He has many greats. I'm glad I got to meet him a few times (I always encouraged him to write a science fiction novel...he said he'd consider it).

Disabled people have been warning about this since 2020. We've now got tons of scientific articles about post-covid illness/disability and the relationship between repeat covid infections and other health conditions. I hope you'll take a minute to follow some PWD and ask your friends to wear masks.
Chad Loder@chadloder.dev · last yr.So it's not just me? Is this one of the worst seasons we've had with non-COVID respiratory illnesses in recent memory? I see people getting sick constantly, like once a month every single month. My son's high school has been just full of sick kids since early November, kids are missing LOTS of days
