"I just don’t feel like films are meant to be message-oriented," the director said... right on the heels of a Rare analysis showing how including climate in TV and movies "increased support for governmental action on climate change and boosted several hard-to-move attitudes on climate justice."

‘Twisters’ chose not to mention climate change. Here’s why | CNNamp.cnn.com The summer blockbuster puts nature’s ever-more destructive power in the spotlight. But like the titular twisters, there’s a hole at the center.

I might be lit-pilled bc I’m really trying w/ this psychological sci fi book and the prose is… prosaic. Also it repeats itself twice in the first five pages.

It's always good to bring up the time I accidentally stumbled on Dave Weigel's old Whedonesque account from his college days, where he described himself as "a Reagan Republican second and a Buffy fan first".

If he blocks or deletes when he realizes this is a bad look:

Since it's Ida's bday today & I love her, a little story about collective action. A few years ago (2018), I learned about a longstanding effort to complete a monument to honor Ida B Wells. For over a decade, her great-grandchildren & others had been trying to raise needed funds.

Thinking about how, among the many rhetorical accomplishments of free-market globalizing neoliberalism in setting the terms of debate even for the political liberal-left, the valorization of tech as an intrinsic force for good may have been the most successful and certainly the longest lived

As someone kindly pointed out to me on Another Website, redlining & segregation has contributed much to white folks not understanding that this is an option and has been for a long time in minority spaces. They don't think of it as they have never needed to but they should see it as an alternative.

What are people doing w/neighbors & friends to create & nurture networks of collective care & mutual aid? What small but significant (or super size me and spectacular, and everything in between) actions & practices are people talking about, preparing for, or taking?

When Blockbuster had a chance to buy Netflix, it made no sense for them when they could just copy them, which they did and it went pretty well. Hell, they beat Netflix to having streaming movies. They died when a new CEO took over, thought online was a dead end and went all in on brick and mortar

okay it's time for a prompt post: respond to this post with a correction to a common misconception about something you know a lot about. if you feel like it, boost your response. (please use a kindly tone about it, otherwise i, your prompt curator, will get anxious.)

When a voice is applied to procgen you can typically spot it because of how uniformly obvious and corny it is
