Star Wars is nothing without the emotional connections that the characters have with each other. The visual spectacle, SFX and fight sequences, should serve the story, but without the human element, if I don’t care about the characters, none of that matters.

He gets it

Capitalism is down bad.

RIP Jane Goodall. I feel like it's shortchanging her legacy to focus only on her work with chimpanzees when her compassion extended to ALL animals. One of the best ways you can honor & continue her legacy is to incorporate more plant based meals into your life. ❤️ news.janegoodall.org/2017/04/28/w...

Rest in peace, Jane Goodall 🕊️ 🤍 Your voice reshaped how we see animals and the way we treat them. Your grace pushed the human race to do better. I only wish more of us carried the heart you did.

Jane Goodall, ethologist and conservationist, has died. She was 91

On September 28th, 1976, Stevie Wonder and Earth, Wind & Fire released R&B greatness. 🔥

I’m so disillusioned by how easily institutions and people willingly roll over to fascism. How little fight there seems to be in the face of it. All in the name of what? Maintaining whatever semblance of the status quo seems to be left? I want to scream.

And this is just what Disney does. They’re spineless, kowtow to bigots, and their moral compass is attached to their pocketbooks.

It’s interesting how we’ve gone full circle from comedians saying they’re not allowed to joke because of “woke” and people are “too sensitive” but now they’re being canned by a Republican government.

if kimmel is edgy we are so fucked

if Jimmy Kimmel's political humor is too hot for you to handle, I'm not sure "snowflake" even cuts it as a term of derision for the level of fragility you've achieved

I wrote up a little bit more about how Prince took some inspiration from Redford & Streisand in "The Way We Were", and then how that led to a fun conversation with him about intellectual property. (There's a little gift for you at the bottom of this post, too.) www.anildash.com/2025/09/17/a...

"I'm sure his words were taken out of context" should always be met with "in what context are their words acceptable to you?" Keep pressing people that what's being said/done is unconscionable under and context and trying to excuse them reflects badly on the listener.

I miss them.

Michael Jackson in 1987

I combusted when the beat on ‘Housequake’ kicked in. 😭

Last night was my first time seeing Prince’s ‘Sign o’ the Times’ in theatres. In fact, it was my first time seeing any Prince film in theatres. Although I’d seen the film countless times, this was a whole ’nother experience. He was a brilliant, one-of-a-kind, visionary, musical genius.

So here's the thing Bluesky..... for a site that swears up and down it's better than Twitter, you're falling into the same bullshit as Twitter.

I’m a little sorry but this is just what my brain is like

They were about to have a green off

“It’s a culture thing” Bitch when we give people red envelopes we give it with our WHOLE CHEST not in a fucking crumpled up chip bag!!!!

I am a reporter of Chinese descent and this is absolutely not true

You were walking around like this.

When Stevie Wonder sang on "As," "Did you know you're loved by somebody?" That makes me feel warm inside. I should cut that on.

This morning’s sword practice. Working on the basic wushu flower movement.

24 years ago today, Destiny’s Child’s “Bootylicious” reached #1 on the Billboard Hot 100. It is the last song by a girl group to achieve this. 💕🔥

Eternals was so underappreciated.

3 years ago today, Beyoncé released her critically acclaimed Grammy Award-winning studio album, RENAISSANCE! 🐎🪩🔥

Citrine's SweetsCafe. Another ode to the small mountain towns I still miss, since moving to the city. Also, ghosts

Happy Heavenly Birthday to the legendary, flamboyant funk-rock diva Betty Davis. 🕊️

To call it the litmus test of morality would be insulting to people in other parts of the world also facing genocide (whose voices are often ignored). However, the Palestinian genocide has exposed how performative a lot of self-proclaimed progressives are.

I remember when they were doing everything possible to muddy the waters around whether Israel had bombed a hospital and now we’re at “murder starving people in the open with bullets” It was a genocide then too

There’s an earnest sense of joy and wonder in ‘The Fantastic Four’ that’s been missing from superhero movies. It was fun!

The Jacksons’ cosmic futurism, Stevie Wonder’s soulful warmth, Prince’s raw minimalism, & Earth, Wind & Fire’s tribal mysticism ushered in a new era of Black music culture in the post-disco era.

Sony must be really kicking themselves hard on the massive miss opportunity to put K-Pop Demon Hunter in theaters instead on Netflix. Who knows how much it would’ve made bank on at the box office. Now it’s going to become the highest viewed Netflix film of all time.

if im a baddie but stuck in a wheelchair, does that make me meals-on-wheels

Hmm I knew something aint add up about this account. Chat make sure yall are vetting these accounts that are posting super polarizing views on US Foreign Affairs. Something about this account just felt off especially with that avi. Im culturally competent enough to have put the context clues 2gether

It’s Gonna Be a Beautiful Night

Al Jazeera Media Network urgently calls upon the journalistic community, press freedom organisations, and relevant legal bodies to take decisive action to halt the forced starvation and crimes against journalists and media professionals in Gaza.

I found a book I loved as a child featuring paintings by 2 Chinese artists who traveled thru Pakistan in 1981 and Jesus Christ the art is just as beautiful as I remember. I haven't seen this book in 2 decades. I want to cry.

I understand the allure of wanting to be a "carry guns and wear leather jackets" Black Panther but there's a case to be made that the most dangerous ones were the "feed kids breakfast and teach them about settler colonialism" Black Panthers

Every day. It’s just the same story every single day — IDF massacres starving people at food sites they set up with US money and support.
