I used to identify as independent, but now I don't really know what I am. I identify with Democrats and socialism, but what's the best political party that is for Mexican and black and Asian and gay and trans rights? It's Dems, right? I just don't like the idea that being an independent means I'm associated with these crazy-ass third party people.

Been finishing my catchup on shows, dealing with my ISP, and then work all day. This place needed the break after the other night, though. smh.



Feel like that's one he's setting himself up for failure on, really.

Here's a really long interview with Chris Priest about Black Panther (it took place last year but Ta-Nehisi Coates linked to it today and it was the first time I saw it).

This is from part 3 of the interview where he talked about the movie:

They know how to do these things, now, and nobody does super-hero films better, but I’m worried about a certain level of hubris accompanying their approach to Panther.

I hope Marvel understands this: all of black America is watching you. We are hopeful, we are excited. Don’t screw this up. Talk to some actual black people; it’s not enough to “know” Panther; you’ve got to know Panther’s audience.

It is also a mistake to not intrinsically understand how strong this racism thing is and how racism will--I assure you--impact this film’s reception. The problem with most liberals--myself included--is we tend to think we’re post-racial, that we’ve got a handle on things because we’re not racists.

Which is what makes liberals perhaps some of the most pernicious racists of all, because we are in denial of it. Make a good movie, and people will come see it. Well, Get On Up was an extremely entertaining film with an amazing, practically one-man performance by Chadwick Boseman. But I was sitting in the theatre alone.

Memo to Marvel: Hubris and arrogance re: Panther will kill you. This is not like any other movie you’ve ever done. If done correctly, this can not only be a great super-hero movie, but it could be an important film.

I’m not on the inside, so I can just pray they’re not just trying to make a good movie but that they are trying to develop some sensitivity to the unique challenges their marketing will face. If they are tone deaf to those issues, it won’t matter how good the film is; there will remain a thread of resistance on the part of general audiences to seeing any film with a black actor at the center.

Ugh, I have the money but I'm stingy as hell.
Build your own.

It's very easy, i built my first one 3 years ago. just from watching some youtube tutorials.

It was fun too. Except it killed my back. (long story short, had to use a coffee table so i was hunched over for too long)

Just pull the trigger. It's a decent investment, if you're upgraded enough.
