When parakeets cosplay

Well yes!

The Terrence Howard of SFF

This is what happens when you let war criminals get away with their crimes. They will come back and do it again. I feel a lot of guilt about this. My generation was there, we watched it all happen and at some point we just gave up and forgot about him. Big mistake.

Denver needs like 40 years of PR to undo what this season of LIB has done for its reputation. How is it every single cast member 😭

Works by Senegalese artist Omar Victor Diop, 2010s-20s, whose performative photography practice engages with European colonialist history and cross-cultural experiences within the African diaspora.

I didn't immediately get the twist in Peacemaker because in my experience it's not uncommon for the Western shows I watch to not have POC in the background lmaooo he could have been in the Succession universe for all I knew

Gaza fishermen able to fish for first time thanks to sumud flotilla distraction they STILL FED MY PEOPLE. 🥹

Kenya based, South African author Zukiswa Wanner is one of the people who was on the Global Sumud flotilla and who have been detained by the Israeli army.

I say it all the time, but imma say it again: a lot of very book smart people lack the emotional education and communication skills that would allow them to generate the courage they want to embody in their work. They are incurious about their own emotional lives, and consequently, those of others.

Fantastic 4/10

Great video!

Every three weeks or so there's a thread on here that's like "you have to be my bestie before you sell me your book"... Congratulations I see nothing but 419 scams in your future

thinking of a casual way of saying "hello I recognize you from the cult we were most definitely in together"

Tosh Gitonga needs to be tried at the Hague for that Inside Job movie

This app feels very much like Sick Sad World but not funny at all

What if Colbert ended up being our Churchill? What if the South Park Guys end up like two white American Nelson Mandelas? What if AOC ends up being our own personal Margaret Thatcher? What if Zohran becomes Mugabe? What if Eric Adams stepped into his destiny as America’s Nikita Khrushchev???

it's so nice to see what a functioning judiciary looks like "A transgender woman in the East African nation of Kenya has won a landmark court victory in which the judge not only found in her favour, but ordered the government to pass a Transgender Protection Rights Act." fuck yeah

One of my fave reads of the year!

Since we're thinking about Lumumba's assassination and torture today, Bunche, an important figure in the formation of the UN, and a diplomat involved in Congolese decolonization, denounced a demonstration against his killing in 1961 at the UN and apologized for the disruption they had caused.

News from Finland. A 9-year-old lost an especially good stick he’d had since he was 2. He hung up 20 posters. A few days later it was returned. It had been found by a 2-year-old, who wanted to keep it for herself, but her mother made her return it. She got toys, flowers and candy as a reward.

If that's the case can you explain this?

Watched Highest 2 Lowest and it was so awful... You can't "love letter to the city of New York" your way out of this one, Spike Lee!

if flying monkey, why friend shaped?

So cool! Congratulations!

You can blame 8-4-4 for everything if you squint a little at the evidence
