The new film “Sinners” is a symphony of vampire bites, gunshot wounds, and people being staked in the heart and left to burn alive, @adamserwer.bsky.social writes. But the true horror is the Jim Crow economy, which drives every event in the film.

One thing you notice about anti-feminism is that its public discourses are all about erecting a fantasy of men’s victimization that is clung to all the more desperately and insistently the more it contradicts the actual facts. So the more women are hurt, the more we’re told that men are suffering.

someone wrote out the entire Thom Brennaman apology above a urinal at a brewery in High Point

It gets replaced with Pat McAfee

The favorite in the Derby is Journalism? I don’t like its chances

I finished reading Maus today. Really good. This sequence in particular was HARROWING.

PLEASE XAVIER, FIX YOUR STONE HANDS SO I CAN LOVE YOU IN FOOTBALL AS MUCH AS I DO IN LIFE

Hey guys- White nationalists have helped a white woman in Minnesota raise $300k after she was filmed calling a five-year-old Black child the n-word. The local NAACP chapter is fundraising for the boy and his family to get legal help. The least we could do is out-fundraise the nazis. Donate here:

one of my favorite popovich stories is derozan talking about how he supported him when his dad was dying not only a hall of fame basketball coach but a hall of fame human

Come to the Sports Podcast Festival in Raleigh! @splitzoneduo.com will be there. You should be too!

Mild Spoiler: it's a testament to the quality of writing in Andor that one of the best and easily the most relatable scene in all of Star Wars is a fascist collapsing onto his bed in a panic attack because his mom won't stop being mean to him

Some experts theorize that one reason boys with ADHD seemed to grow out of it is that once these boys grew up and got married, they were able to offload a lot of their executive functioning to their wives. So I think about that a lot.

I’m glad I saw this because I think I blacked out laughing for a second after he said “God, bless this cocaine”

My favorite little anecdote to this is that the charter school pay for teachers ain’t that much better in this state.

@roundhoward.bsky.social listening to The Weekend Program - as a Star Wars-averse TV aficionado, it’s good enough to overcome the Star Wars. It’s one of the best shows I’ve ever seen. And it’s not triggering to me at least because the fascism feels timeless

I wrote about Andor because I just needed to get all of the thoughts out of my brain and because I love both writing and Andor open.substack.com/pub/laurenbr... (I'm still learning how to use this so sorry for the wall of words lol)

Oh my god Walton Goggins’ Teenjus rap musical number 💀

There are probably non-monsters named Jax but none come to mind

Deja Vu or Ya Ya. If I need an immediate mood booster I put on Blow or Countdown

One reason I love horror so much is the way it can so effectively address things like this. Racism, sexism/misogyny, gaslighting, depression/trauma, etc., we’ve had some great ones just in the last couple years

there's a scene in Conspiracy, a movie about the Wannsee Conference where the Holocaust was planned, in which one Nazi asks everyone in the room with a law degree to raise their hands almost the whole room does you should not be framing your objections to this regime in terms of what is legal.

Imagine saying this right after Minecraft has millions of kids acting like it’s the Rocky Horror Picture Show *and* after Sinners, literally filmed to be the banger of a theater experience that it is lol
