If you've ever enjoyed anything I've ever written, then you should buy my book The Movement Made Us about my father's time in the Civil Rights Movement, us, our relationship and loving each other to get free. (it's also a great stocking stuffer)

Thanks to @minakimes.bsky.social and @daviddennisjr.bsky.social on getting the latest @viewerpod.bsky.social out!

Didn’t realize the name of the podcast changed… Your summaries make Love Is Blind more entertaining for my wife and myself…

Kudos for covering Anna and Patrick first…

I think it’s time to end the food hall experiment in ATL. I just can’t justify $10 parking for $30 burgers because the rent prices are too high. Plus the constant turnover from restaurants not being able to sustain themselves…it’s not worth it. Time to start over.

I just finished The Movement Made Us by @daviddennisjr.bsky.social and I can say I have never felt the way I felt while reading. The stories recounted were sad and maddening, but also very inspiring. It made me want to get involved and try to help make a difference. Amazing job on this David.

It’s good that so many people are seeing the debate and saying that EK fails to meet TNC where he is because the latter is coming from lived experience.

I also want you to keep that same energy when you try to speak over trans folks, women and everyone else pleading for their lives out here.

I do not desire the patience or grace to entertain conversations with people who like to argue against my humanity.

But by all means do you.

Had a student lunch with Sonia Sanchez when she came to Davidson my senior year. She told a story about her kids listening to some rap music. She asked them who they were listening to. They said “Tupac Shakur.” She got incredibly said and told them “Shakurs don’t get to live long in America”

every time I've tried to watch the last Mission Impossible movie on a plane something has gone wrong with the video...I feel like I have to finish on principle. But buddy...I'm an hour in and not much has happened at all

my biggest takeaway is that this show gravely overestimates how much the world would still be reeling/caring if 2% of everyone disappeared

ok ok I'll stick to it!

David Dennis Jr @daviddennisjr.bsky.social · 15d

If I recall, Andy Greenwald & Chris Ryan ripped S1 so thoroughly on The Watch that Damon Lindelof turned things around from S2 onwards

rapture talk got me revisiting The Leftovers. dropped it halfway thru season 1 for some reason. Now we back! Can't help but think that this show should be Marvel canon tho
