So...Liam Neeson really decided to just blow up his career by admitting he once wanted (and actually walked around w/ a crowbar!) to murder a Black man, any Black man.

And he did it while promoting another one of his old white man gets revenge movies.

Amazing.
“I went up and down areas with a cosh, hoping I’d be approached by somebody – I’m ashamed to say that – and I did it for maybe a week, hoping some ‘black bastard’ would come out of a pub and have a go at me about something, you know?" theguardian.com/film/2019/feb/…
ALso, Liam Neeson says he felt a lot of shame around wanting to get revenge on ANY Black man who would've "had a go at him" after his friend was allegedly raped by a Black man...but he walked around FOR A WEEK w/ a crowbar. What would've happened if some man HAD bumped into him?

21 Savage's immigration situation is a reminder that undocumented Black immigrants exist but are often invisible (or ignored) during discussions about immigration. But they are very much at risk.
In 2015, there were approximately 615,000 Black undocumented immigrants in the U.S.

And of course, Black undocumented immigrants are at greater risk.

I saw Green Book back in August, so it's interesting to read everybody's takes now. It's also equally interesting to see Universal push it so heavy for awards season.
#GreenBookMovie's original sin is the title. There's literally NO reason for it to be called Green Book in the first place AND that sets it up for failure b/c audiences will expect a film about the The Negro Motorist Green Book. It's not.
The second biggest flaw is that while it may be based on a true story, it's written like the screenwriter doesn't actually know any Black people besides Don Shirley (Mahershala's character), who admits his Black experience has been atypical.

The two things that are preventing NY prosecutors from charging Trump
1)A DOJ (executive) “rule” saying POTUS (executive) can’t be indicted
2) The idea that follows; that he must be impeached before he’s indicted

The first is clearly unconstitutional...1/4 #TrumpRussiaConspiracy
The executive can’t pass rules that prevent itself from being prosecuted. That’s literally an autocracy.

W/o the 1st the 2nd has no standing as it is not mentioned in the constitution...2/4
@OversightDems @repCummings @AnneHolton @timkaine @SenFeinstein @ericswalwell @SenWarren
#Hamilton wanted impeachment in the constitution to remove a corrupt POTUS if there wasn’t ENOUGH evidence to indict them.

Because back then they didn’t have emails or recordings, so collecting proof to convict a POTUS could be too hard to get as it would be easy to cover up.3/4

because i'm tired of seeing this non discussion time after time, the thing about the sexualization argument is that, you're perceiving the sex life of someone without any context to do so. if you look at someone doing nothing but existing, adult child or pile of ashes +
and then somehow fixate on how good they'd look naked, or how much they're getting laid, it's sexualization. like point blank. period. and that's not specific to this fandom, ppl have been saying shit like that about celebrities since forever because plebs like us +
don't look at celebs the same way we do strangers that are closer to us both literally and metaphorically. it's weird that some of y'all will see a male gaze oriented gg mv and rightfully clock it, and then turn around and not know what sexualization/objectification is. +

I have been asked by a few people what were my favorite jokes written with/for Garry. There are a bunch that I love, but I think my favorites are my first, and my last. The first was from our very first writing session, in March of 1980. 1/ twitter.com/i/moments/9733…
It was what he and I referred to for decades as "the cow joke." Because literally 10 times a year, he would "joke" argue with me about who really "wrote" it. (Now that he's no longer here, I can say, officially, that it was, in fact, GARRY who made it funny.) 2/
All I did was provide the premise. It was "You ever notice how when people drive down the street and see a cow on the side of the road, they roll down the window and go 'moo,' like they think the COW is thinking 'Hey, there's a cow driving that car.'" 3/
