Ocean’s 11. The romance is the spine. The heist and banter are amazing, but without Tess, it’s just about money.
I’ve said this before but a well written romance is the backbone of so many beloved films and tv shows across genres. If you take the romance out of HEAT you have no movie. Point Break, Brooklyn 99. A lot execs and writers now don’t understand this.
The assumption that all romance is trash for dumb people who like formulas -- that's still a thing in TV & film. A big thing. Also, like, I'm sorry, but a middle or upper class man is an asshole and is doing crimes or solving crimes? That's not a genre? MORE formulaic than a romance? HILARIOUS

Like 90% of action/sci fi movies don’t work without a romance. The Predator franchise gets away without one but we all know Lex and Scar—***signal lost***
Terminator, the romance between Sarah and Kyle is a pivotal element of the plot.

As I noted here, ICE's masks have given them impunity to inflict harm without consequences, just like the Klan.

And just like the Klan, when they're unmasked by new laws, they'll be weakened across the board.

Go to the dentist. Failing that, go to a dental college and get the work done for free. Trust me. Hole in the face saga could have been avoided.

It’s being deployed by the same people who sterilize women, including white women, in custody. It’s pro-life when you’re preventing people you hate from reproducing or some shit.
Kinda surprised that no one seems to care that tear gas can be an abortifacient. I mean, there are archival papers about this which you can find by googling "tear gas abortifacient".
Both the writer and Broderick, and anyone who wants to compare me to a fucking activist, can feel free to get off their couch and get gassed by federal police so much their period gets fucked up.

1) I love this.
2) I love that Cillian basically said when he’s not actively speaking during press junkets he checks out to his brain station on Mars.

It’s really difficult & disorienting but the feds hit LA extremely hard today. There were kidnappings all over & reported cluster raids in Chinatown, East LA, Ktown. This list shows to 1130 AM but they haven’t stopped all day

Just because the media attention stopped doesn’t mean the abductions have

We need to talk about the rise of "smol bean fascism" where you have all the guns and the immunity but the really scary people are the ones with whistles and phone cameras and they're giving you generational trauma and ptsd by filming you killing people for no reason

"Hey, I've got a great idea -- let's do a version of this genre designed to appeal to people who don't like it, made by people who don't like it, either."
"Elevated romance" & "elevated sff" etc etc, I'm sorry but my entire life as a reader, critic & TV fan, all too often that's code for, "I don't know this genre, I've been taught to look down on it, my bosses hate it, but it sells idk?? People I guess like this stuff? So I guess we'll try it SIGH" ok

I’m ok. I’m a survivor so this small agitator isn’t going to intimidate me from doing my work.

I don’t let bullies win.

Grateful to my incredible constituents who rallied behind me. Minnesota strong.

Anadith Danay Reyes Álvarez died in government custody.

She had sickle cell and congenital heart disease but couldn’t access timely and adequate medical care.

We need to reform immigration detention.

I’m gonna end up deleting my tiktok. I can feel it. It’s not as much of a loss as Twitter was, but it is always a bummer to lose spaces where I connected with black women and other nerds.

I have been of the opinion for about five years now that we are all mostly clinging to the *idea* of social media. But that it has not existed, as we mean it, since Jack sold Twitter. The minute capital lined up to fold social media into its technocratic political consolidation, it stopped existing.

I’m not even disappointed by white people anymore because I‘ve seen this pattern over and over again.

White folks see a blatant atrocity, are mad for a couple minutes, then popularize a completely nonsensical talking point to go back to sleep.

This is how colonialism is maintained.

White people literally just saw one of their own get murdered for no reason but have gone back to defending cops within days.

We simply cannot be in community with people who see what’s killing them and argue to preserve it.

Let the death cult of whiteness play out while the rest of us move on.
