Ana Marie Cox on indigenous pop culture for Thanksgiving and Indigenous People's Month.
IMHO, Reservation Dogs is BRILLIANT. Also the way it mixes in mystical/supernatural elements is inspiring to this Scif/Fantasy/Superhero creator: character based, dramatic conflict, and oh so much humor.

We're lucky enough to see a boom in indigenous pop culture. So you could watch:
Reservation Dogs (You've heard of this one)
Dark Winds (Native noir, so good)
Molly of Denali (You know, for kids!)
Rutherford Falls (New England indigenous rep!)
Spirit Rangers (Kids!)

Im thankful this Thanksgiving is not in the closet. And genuine thanks to Secretary Mayor Pete. His speaking about his boyfriend/husband with friends and family and saying it was the first time he felt normal. And that he didnt want to die before saying I love you, that's why its not in the closet.

That these memes seemed to work really underscores what a tremendous own goal it was for leftists to validate their logic.
Harris said the word "lethal" in her DNC speech; meanwhile Trump had a tremendously bloody record as *President.*
But a lot of online influencers only emphasised the former.

nuzzi / lizza misconduct imo enabled the destruction of so much public health & scientific research — and a resurgence in measles in the US. this is not petty tabloid gossip or inside baseball. that they went undetected or were rewarded while great reporters were laid off? it’s a huge system failure

Sammo Hung's Blade of Fury is my favorite kind of historical drama about national mythmaking: the kind where every position on the ideological spectrum is represented by a different martial arts fighter and there’s a quintuple decap in the first fifteen minutes

UK politics: "we have invented the Ace Attorney system from acclaimed game series, Don't Invent the Ace Attorney system"
Imagine coming up with a proposal so stupid, so unworkable, so thoughtless, that it makes Robert Jenrick look sane by comparison.

Jury trials could be scrapped except in most serious cases
Only cases of alleged murder, rape or manslaughter will be decided by a jury under new proposals to cut court backlogs.
