Ubisoft rejecting a game about a formerly enslaved Black man returning to the South to fight for justice during Reconstruction for being "too political" tells you everything you need to know about about the rot at the core of everything.

As the brilliant Michael Kinnucan points out, it's more than a bit strange that there's a debate over whether New York can afford universal childcare. New York already has universal childcare! Every single child is cared for by somebody. Small children are never left home all day by themselves.

4. Ganja & Hess (1973) - A dark and dreamy Black gothic vampire film. Way ahead of its time. The vampires are immortal and they drink blood and that's about all of the mythology that applies to them. Its themes of cultural assimilation have parallels with the musical appropriation in Sinners.
