Yeah, Dennis made it more crystal clear than in Herbert’s own book that this is not a white savior trope. At least not anything like Dances With Wolves. It’s more like real life, where white colonizers felt it was their burden to civilize Indigenous people, that lead to genocides— House of Fire and Blood (@HouseofFireand2) March 1, 2024

So IDEO largely built its marketing around the idea that The Designer is a higher-level thinker who can sift through all of the mass-produced junk that was rising up as a result of automation and find quality. This was rooted in racism and was doomed to fail... (thread)

Saw Killers of the Flower Moon and here are my thoughts I will share in this thread— Ol’ Fine Rez Dog (@DeadDogLake) October 29, 2023

I watched Barbie thrice to come up with this idea: What stops most people from living out their true selves is not ignorance of their own mortality but an inability to distinguish between wants and oughts. Most are too busy going through the motions (ie. planned choreography):

🧵I see a lot of socialists pointing out that Israel "created" Hamas. While there is truth to that, it's reductionist and counterproductive to bring up in most cases when discussing this conflict with people.The rise of religious nationalism within the Palestinian...— Koba ☭ (@RedPrecariat) October 12, 2023

People ask me all the time if I am "pro-Israel" because I am a Jew who has lived in Israel, and my answer is that being "pro-Israel" or being "pro-Palestine" or being a "Zionist" does not properly capture the nuance of thought most people do or should have about this issue. It…

you know what? nobody was going into comics expecting to make boatloads of money. but people are allowed to have dreams, ambitions, & to be a little starry eyed at the beginning. those are human emotions. fuck out of here with your little "well that's just capitalism" smug shit https://t.co/omXEA0Jrfn— wendy xu 🤖 preorder INFINITY PARTICLE!

This line is thought is terrifying. education becoming debt-exploding prep for a job that likely won’t use your degree anyway is one of the worst things to ever happen. The liberal arts expand the mind, deepen our appreciation of culture, and train us for how to see and live life https://t.co/PWvbE5Zmec— Brendan Hodges (@metaplexmovies) May 21, 2023

Gotta love the folks flexing moral superiority in the quotes. 🤣😭 The whole point of the show is that these damaged, “bad” people possess “good” qualities, and the show helps you understand what would make someone so vile. Your feelings shouldn’t be binary, one way or the other.— Johnny Sobczak (@JohnnySobczak) May 15, 2023

“I read the NYT article on “Liz Holmes,” and I’ve got to hand it to Twitter: you all did a very good job of angrily reacting to the headline by restating the argument of the article.”

“He's actually saying that it's racist to say that black people are ineligible to work with predominantly white casts and only hire them when the franchise decides to make a predominantly black movie. He was correct.”

I'm obsessed with how Hader is crafting this season of BARRY with a total focus on narrative economy, and instead of indulgently padding each episode to 50+ minutes, finds the fewest amount of scenes possible to tell the most amount of story and character. it's incredible.— Brendan Hodges (@metaplexmovies) May 8, 2023

I love you Gen Z, but you are wrecking your brain by labeling everything as mid, basic, cringe, problematic or sus & it will ultimately bite you in the butt, even if you are an Aquarius— Emily Nussbaum (@emilynussbaum) April 30, 2023

I hate how in the new trend of "oners," they often call attention(!) to themselves, and you instantly know the action will follow a video-gamey and predetermined path. they're not thrillingly invisible or feats of great filmmaking. They just kind of ...happen, but in an empty way— Brendan Hodges (@metaplexmovies) April 28, 2023

I'm really surprised that no one is actively talking about what an America run by the GOP looks like. We can see it in deep red states right now, and it's horrifying. 1/n— Brynn Tannehill (@BrynnTannehill) April 18, 2023

Probs obvious, but I think lack of cheap housing in cities is the main thing to blame for most culture getting worse (contemporary novels, indie movies, music, less weird art, etc.) — mostly, the only people who can afford to make a career in this stuff have inherited wealth now.— Nabeel (@nabeelqu) December 22, 2022

If anyone is teaching them to cold message others and ask for their time without even talking to them first and building a relationship, they're teaching the wrong thingProfessionals will want to help if they at least feel like you're not looking at them in a transactional way— lara mendonça O HEXA VEM 🇧🇷 (@laraisuncool) November 25, 2022

Anyway, my tuppence worth on Musk and Twitter. He’s in for a rocky ride, and the question for me is whether his ego is going to make him destroy Twitter. Right now, what’s pretty clear is that he doesn’t understand what makes Twitter work. 1/10— Prof Paul Bernal (@PaulbernalUK) November 1, 2022

“I know it’s not as easily quantifiable, but Apple is utterly annihilating brand value, trust and goodwill with these ads. How is the revenue possibly worth it? As a developer, this sucks. As a user, it sucks. As someone who cares about Apple products it’s just profoundly sad.”
