really annoyed that Brian Tyree Henry doesn’t have the career/mag covers/etc commensurate with his stratospheric talent and charisma
He's a leading man.
I've seen a few of these "But the MCU!" tweets and it's so dreary and depressing to think that fronting some massive company's superhero IP is the best use of his time and talents.
Can there be other paths to stardom PLEASE
There are so many interesting stories and roles that have absolutely nothing to do with a superhero universe jfc
Brian Tyree Henry could do Sherman's March through Kenneth Branaugh's Shakespeare repertoire and murder that shit

I'm surprised! I did not expect such a literal turn. It's kind of interesting?
I used to be obsessed with all things 1940s. There's so much great children's literature set during that era (see also: the original All Creatures Great and Small). Hunh.
I'm still stuck on the fact that someone thought "are you a virgin" was an ok question to ask
I wish I could go back in time and grab that mic from Britney and scream NONE OF YOUR FUCKING BUSINESS
If you watch the Britney andTiger docs back to back, you see how gross and entitled media felt about the cash cows B and T's parents created.
The "serious" news media benefits from tabloid skeeze too, because they're covering it. There's no way to be a respectable parasite
And of course, there's very little serious interrogation of this. Both in celebrity and sports media, there are folks who operate on the idea that because these people rake in tons of money, they have forfeited some right to need human things like fulfilment and connection
This country does not *have* to be this broken. But it will remain so as long as it continues to self soothe with white supremacist mythology instead of reckoning with truth.
The Capitol Police had more ire and force for Cynthia McKinney, a whole then-SITTING CONGRESSWOMAN that they did for armed terrorists sfgate.com/politics/amp/M…
Leadership basically made Rep. McKinney apologize for that cop's racism!
It was so gross.
All 44 did was (correctly!) say a cop acted stupidly for arresting an old black man who uses a cane entering his own house and he had to have that idiotic beer summit
