Arguably the worst scored movie I've ever seen. I truly believe the movie could've been made exponentially better with a better score and better editing. Some of the bad acting could've been overlooked with those changes. It was just so bad 🥴

Coincidentally, I also watched this tonight lol. It was really good but definitely wasn't the sort of "horror" I was expecting. Spent a good chunk of time reading people's breakdown of the film on Reddit.

I feel like I'm screaming into the void on this!! The fact that this happened in the neighborhood I grew up in has my blood boiling!!

We need a bigger national spotlight on this building raid, fam. Agents dropped from helicopters onto the roof. Citizens and non-citizens alike were dragged from their homes in the night. People who weren't kidnapped during the raid had their belongings seized after the fact. This is madness.

"Jones, 27, is among the residents left at 7500 S. South Shore Drive who are trying to piece together what remains after an early morning, high-powered federal immigration raid led to the arrests of dozens of their neighbors at their South Shore apartment building."

People of Illinois, we need your help.

Get your cell phones out – record what you see. Put it on social media. Peacefully ask for badge numbers and identification. Speak up for your neighbors.

We need to let the world know this is happening – and that we won’t stand for it.

So anyway, I'm thinking about composing a series of small talks geared towards helping junior/mid-level folks improve upon their big data systems design skills. Gonna spend some time writing out some of that content this weekend ✍🏾

What I would give for another season of Silicone Valley & Succession right now. I feel like they both missed a PRIME opportunity for some top tier content during the A.I. boom.
