Red Hook is a place in Brooklyn where non white ppl are a minority.

You haven't reached old age until you regularly can't sleep a full night. No matter what age you are, you are old.

One of the worst things to come out of this time is the freedom for this brand of white anti intellectualism always being expressed as if it's a sophisticated thought. These were thoughts he literally had to edit in better times, but now racism feels like freedom.

A tv show pitch where someone goes back in time and convinces Obama to wear something else forever altering the future.

Looking back, the first sign of the end might've been Obama's tan suit. Like a crow. Foreshadowing.

If you get a higher education at a liberal arts college you will meet so many Ezra Klein's. They will always win. Are always smug and generationally wealthy democrats who make a point to say my name correctly. The heroes of their own world.

Layaway rebranded as Klarna took away the shame. (Only some will understand.)

I know this is not the point but why does this man's head look like a cartoon of evil?

Me asking myself if I could realistically learn to write in another language so I can make art in another country and leave this cursed place. Why oh why did I cut Spanish class so much I'll never forgive hs me for not applying myself cause look at me now unilingual in hell.

The worst Hakeem of all Hakeem's.

Oh no. My parents gave me her autobiography to read in elementary school (do not recommend). What a life. And a true revolutionary.

Fascism but run by the cast of Looney Tunes. (This is not what I studied in school.)

The more evil someone is the longer they live - those are the rules. Evil is the elixir of life.

It would be nice if all those who believed in the rapture were gone by tomorrow.

I'm doing so much free work that I'm basically like a volunteer writer.

It would be nice if from here on out, we move like this boycotting every corp who acts out of pocket and forgets who they really need to be afraid of: us. Ask Target.

If you want supple skin, youth, vitality, and orgasms - do the opposite of this guy.

My Black boyfriend discovered that one of his Black friends is maga because he's upset over Charlie Kirk. The friend is dating a Black liberal political podcaster who also doesn't know he's MAGA. Undercover MAGA brothers in nyc is something I never wanna see irl.

This is a lot. But the fact that the AI has a wig and perfect edges is throwing me. Of course they start this with a Black woman.

Lord, I pray, please make me blissfully stupid at least for the next few years so that I might know peace again.

Honestly, WGA should ban writers from working with Disney until this is resolved. SAG and the DGA as well. We have nothing else to lose.

I am not in LA but I really wish I was. Perfect time to pull out the hokas.

The one thing Trump did is make Bush 1 and 2 seem kind of regular.

I guess we are at the stage of fascism when we will have to praise our leader on public record in order to Heil Trump in order to get paid. Looks like the Black List will be on social media this time around.

Turns out writing during a dystopia isn't fun, in fact it's almost impossible.

Why does having a penis make them act like this?

Remember post racial America?

Raising an LGBTQ flag half mast for Charlie Kirk is so wildly farcical satirical and deeply American.

I wish the worst thing that happened this year was me watching Highest 2 Lowest, but alas...America.

Here's how to support my work: I'll be teaching a version of my Columbia class on Race, Media and International Affairs 101 and 102 next month for @resistanceschool.bsky.social. The course is online/ hybrid. Deadline is Sept. 19th! Sign up! www.resistancesummerschool.com/fall-2025-re...

Whoa.

Good thing I'm unemployed so no one can fire me for saying Charlie Kirk was a racist Nazi.

Double consciousness is a bitch.

It must be weird to be the one person of color with an Emmy.

Still processing Highest 2 Lowest. And one thing. A pound of money in 100 dollar bills is 22 pounds. So, Denzel's character (and everyone) would have been casually holding a backpack of money weighing 385 pounds.

Williams was a photographer for Jet magazine. He took the photo himself. The OG selfie. Iconic. Orangeburg, South Carolina, 1956

Why is no one in the media talking about how that 22 year old, not even in the military managed to shoot across 2.5 football stadiums and make a single kill shot? Like who trained him?

I think what happened with Highest 2 Lowest is that it was written for a different cast (completely) but Denzel was free, Spike had a script ready to go and a deal and was like, let's make this work and here we are.

This new Spike Lee movie is what can happen when you are prolific, do not take notes, and cast all your friends w/o sending them a script.

It takes so much to make Jeffrey Wright's performance to be awful.

Spike Lee is so far removed from the hood and yet he does not agree.

Any smart person could've figured the killer was a republican. Which is why MAGA blamed everyone else.

When a MAGA is killed by a MAGA somehow everyone else will suffer.

Only the stupid were fooled, tbh. But that is most of the country.

Charlie Kirk could have only been shot by a white man- they're the only ones who care. I guarantee no Black folks ever thought about killing that man.

Charlie Kirk's death is really outing ppl, which is honestly is a good thing. I want to know what you believe before I consume anything you make. I'm keeping a list like Arya.

If I was going to church this Sunday, I wouldn't be surprised to hear a sermon re: you reap what you sow.

The strangest lie of all strange lies.
