I don't know when it happened, but Facebook suddenly became the most depressing social network out there. Nothing but relationship whining, school whining, job whining, and doom and gloom news posting.

Slay and FreeMufasa are taking shots for all of us.
It was the first time I'd ever be able to read the book, know and work with people involved in an event, and see a movie about it.
Movie felt really, really distant. My friend walked out.
Do you live in the Bay Area? It makes a big difference, especially if you're not a fan of Bay Area teams. Raiders fans are definitely dicks, but I at least respect the fact that they're head over heels for their team year after year, regardless of whether they're good or not. They haven't been good in a decade, but their fans still wear that team on their sleeves. The 49ers, Giants, A's and Warriors' fans though? I almost thought those teams moved cities. Nobody claimed em until they started winning Lol. The thing I hate the most though, is the large block of Bay Area fans who are Raiders/Niners fans, or A's/Giants fans, depending on who has a better shot at winning the championship that year.
Sharks fans are pretty loyal though, but they're unfortunately from the Bay Area, and my hatred has grown enough to spill over into their camp.
all the fun is on Tumblr (and Instagram).
the way the media talks about Luck makes me want to vomit.
Any specific reason? I'm a bit tired of the anti-Muslim/Arab propaganda in film, but the movie was decent enough outside of that. I don't know any behind the scenes stuff regarding the movie or story though.
I feel you on that. Cancer's tough

A lot of the search and rescue guys have been shitting on it. One of my friends was a part of the R&S and yeah he wasn't happy about it.
I ain't done shit.
Black folk getting tight over 12 Years a Slave not winning at the Golden Globes.
Twitter is cool depending on your tolerance for 1. ratchetness and 2. occasional faux outrage and wannabe psychology.

Retweets, brah. People who are cool normally will retweet some shit and you'll just be like "....Well, alright then." For me, it's always people I know and am cool with irl too.
I don't mind though. That said, that unfollow button is powerful.
They got comic books in libraries?

Use tweetdeck. You can hide all sorts of shit easy.

Yes.
Actually they do, they get the collected volumes pretty early.
I use plume and block stuff all the time. It's when I'm on the desktop site that I really see anything since you can't really block stuff.
It's not as much a problem nowadays; mostly just anime kids and peeps from college on my tl now.
Sometimes i see a news headline and know shit will be wild on twitter.
Slave/Servant roles used to be a lock in for black actors, but it seems like not that's not enough anymore

Really? He got an award for playing Christian Bale.
You talking about American Hustle? He was great in that, but everyone was really(especially Jennifer Lawrence imo).
Hey harSon, you ever watched the original Mandingo? I saw the trailer for it, just the trailer and shit made Django and 12 years a slave look like Disney movies.

Saw Inside Llewyn Davis. It was good, but I don't desire to see it again.

lol People like to throw terms out there without knowing what they mean.
Instead of watching AH just watch a Scorsese movie. Even his trash is better than American Hustle.
This is true. Definitely comes across that people thought it would/should win because it was about slavery. I'm curious to see how it will do at the Oscars.
Edit: And just like that, it wins best picture. lol
He didn't even watch the movie too.

Why watch anything when you can race bait instead.
Yeah I have. It... wasn't terrible. I could pick it apart for days, but for whatever reason, it's kinda watchable. I'd recommend watching once just to see it. You should give Goodbye Uncle Tom a watch too: http://www.imdb.com/title/tt0180396/
