Dave Chappelle can't be "cancelled" per se, but this is cancel culture in every sense of the word.
He's an alumni who donated hundreds of thousands of dollars and priceless personal items to the school and gave it international publicity. Yes, rejecting his fundraising because a few students complained is the most cancel culture thing I can think of.
**alumnus yes yes shut up
(don't jump on that person please. We're just disagreeing on a thing. Not looking to get anyone dogpiled)

Oh my god. I had an epiphany about TENET and something about how it works and how to look at the entire movie clicked in my brain and now I absolutely love it.
This isn’t something I can explain in a tweet but a good place to start is this video by @BenChinapen .

A couple of tips:
1. Anyone reversed already knows what’s happened.
2. During the plane crash scene, there are three Protagonists, not two.
I’m looking at this movie like Primer from now on. Multiple watching slowly holding more of the entire story in my head until everything just works. I’m almost there with this.

In the coming collectivist dystopian future, the only type of permitted individualism will be minor cosmetic alterations to your government-issued NFT avatar. Image
My NFT hot take is that the second an NFT is part of a series or collection, it ceases to be nonfungible, even if market forces assign arbitrarily different values to them. At the end of the day, any two beanie babies are interchangeable unless you're a beanie baby collector.
A quarter that's 100 years old will get more money at a coin auction than a quarter from last year. That doesn't make quarters nonfungible. Someone willing to pay more for one over the other doesn't determine fungibility.

I agree that Biden backtracked to correct himself as I see him do it a lot. But contrasted with the exceedingly bad faith pileup on the Rittenhouse judge for something that was *clearly* a supply chain joke solely because he isn't hostile to the defense validates the complaints.
I seriously cannot highlight enough that people think the judge is biased because *he isn't as mad as they are at Rittenhouse*

A judge should be as angry as Twitter or else he's not impartial. That's where we're at.
The lack of a racial component or a sympathetic victim to highlight means they need some other way to keep fueling anger-driven clicks and ratings. So playing the "fixed fight" angle with regards to guns and Trump and white supremacy is all they have left.

Shooting a movie in full frame 1.43:1 IMAX is a conscious choice that involves most people not seeing it like that. Even most IMAX theaters don't have those screens and putting it on a TV zooms the image out so unless your screen is huge, it's kinda unimpressive looking.
Disney+ using Enhanced IMAX 1.90:1 rather than full 1.43:1 is still bringing the 2.39:1 Anamorphic cut of the movie that most people saw in theaters and is the one on home releases closer to 1.43:1 without sacrificing the size of the images on screen. It's the smarter choice.
And for the people traumatized by pan and scan and full frame movies - they aren't cropping the anamorphic cut. They are adding the additional material they originally shot to the anamorphic cut. It's an additive aspect ratio change, not a subtractive one. You're getting more.

How do you do, fellow confederates? Just me, racist confederate with an extremely new-looking confederate flag patch in a very normal place on my jacket at a Glenn Youngkin rally, who is also a racist pro-confederate.
Weird how everyone is getting nice clear pictures of this person.
Also not how extremely hidden their identity is. Big hats. Shot conveniently from behind with zero identifying features. The sussiest sus that ever sussed.
