Our culture’s obsession with UFC is scary. Writing on the wall.

If I think too long about the terrible things the rich and powerful do with impunity my brain will break. Maybe this is why our ancestors invented the concept of hell. It’s too painful to accept that they’ll all just get away with it.

We're going to win because their side has no good art and they know it.

The biggest risk in this moment is something sociologists call β€œsymbolic compliance.”

That’s when an institution that is violating civil rights gives the public just enough symbolic victories that accountability efforts lose steam before there has been any meaningful change.

HUGE Dune fan, so please believe me that I wanted him to be good.

In Dune it sounds like he’s trying to mimic Nicholas Cage. Kept me from actually getting immersed in the movie.

I feel like his acting is completely overrated, but I’m having a hard time finding people who agree with me.

I feel bad for all of us who have to be good at our jobs when the answer is to be sufficiently white, rich and powerful and then you can just drool on yourself and the press will be like β€œaudiences intrigued by his unusual communication style”

11 years ago today, 12 year old Tamir Rice was gunned down by police officers on Cleveland’s west side.

The officer shot him within seconds of arriving at the park he was playing in.

Tamir’s life mattered. It still does. My thoughts are with his family today.

Today is a good day to remember, and to say, that the #MeToo movement was right, and was righteous, and has been vindicated over and over again. There was no overreach. There was no excess. There was no they-went-too-far.

So much work remains to be done.

This has not gotten much attention, but it should.

Virginia under Youngkin returned to an insanely harsh system where people convicted of any felony lose their voting rights FOR LIFE.

Dems' win this week mean they'll get to advance a constitutional amendment to end lifetime disenfranchisement.
