5 min into the new #SATC series & I'm triggered.

Charlotte tells Miranda she should cover her grays: "Ruth Bader Ginsburg died HER hair"
+
Miranda implies podcasting is a *youth* activity that she disapproves of: "Carrie, I love you to death, but I draw the line at podcasts" 🥲
Guys. Guys. This might be my new West Wing.

An investment banker running for mayor? The stuff that dreams are made of! 😜

FWIW, it’s true to character and I’m enjoying every second.
Ok. We meet the replacement Samantha who is Black of course bc this is reparations for how they wrote the occasional black woman in the original. (I’ll never forget that one where Samantha slept with a Black guy & they wrote his sister as a disapproving shrew). Love Ari-Parker.
But they introduce her and then immediacy pivot to her bracelet which is designed by someone from Jackson Mississippi so that we really get that black 👏🏾lives 👏🏾matter👏🏾.

Then they all kvetch about how they are bad bad girls for eating fries + one more podcast bit.
I just wanna make my Callin show a #SATC debrief show but I don't know that I can land that hard pivot to entertainment commentary.
There are not enough words in a tweet to explain this. 😳
Aaaaand I was today years old when I learned that "Hello It's Me" is not an Isley Brothers original, but a tune by someone named Todd Rundgren.
I don’t know that I can do this. Why are they doing this to me? Why are they trying to humiliate these characters!? Why are they selling white guilt as entertainment? I’m here for the clothes and the NY of it all, not performative shame over micro aggressions! 😭
The next scene. The podcast. I’m crine. @RickyRawls. I need you to do an episode on this.
“Give that to Black Charlotte.”

Gotta respect the transparency.
Holy crap. The end. Man. Ok. We’re doing this.
Even with all the absurdity, the friendship btwn Carrie and Miranda can still make my eyes well up a little. 🥺
God bless Stanford for a line that makes everything worth it. RIP 😢
Does Carrie have parents? Siblings? Cousins?
Miranda is truly the MVP of this and not just because of my affection for Cynthia Nixon. She shines despite all the terrible lines she's given. And her funeral look is absolutely terrific. Her hair has never looked better.

Are you not aware that debt cancellation isn’t paid for by taxes or are you being intentionally misleading?

There is quite literally no “transferring of money.”

Meanwhile, politicians all agree not to raise taxes on folks making under $400k bc that’s middle class lol.
“Rich people own more homes so funding the fire department and police department, which protect property, is funneling money to the upper class.”

“People with more money have more cars so funding infrastructure is funneling money to the upper class.” 🙄
If you’re so concerned that people with degrees have too much money— TAX THEM. Tax them on the back end. Don’t make teachers and social workers suffer because a bunch of journalists with advanced degrees now claim it’s “elitist” to get an education.

‼️The Boy Who Cried White Supremacist (w/ @bungarsargon)‼️

"At a moment when Americans are ready for a multiracial working class coalition, you have people sort of putting the kibosh on it on MSNBC by calling half that coalition racist."

Listen now: patreon.com/posts/episode-…
.@bungarsargon was gracious enough to meet me in NY to chat about how the mainstream media betrays working class values, how much the left should be led by polls vs values, whether intersectionality and other "woke" ideology has jumped the shark, & more.

patreon.com/posts/episode-… Image
"I frequently have what I consider to be woke emotions, like assuming a person of color needs a certain kind of protection or help or whatever it is in a way that is disgusting & embarrassing & dehumanizing & paternalistic & a lot of very bad things."

I hoped not to do this bc I sincerely appreciated that you agreed to be a guest on @BadFaithPod. However:

1) It was not a convo abt deradicalization -- a term you introduced after I asked a question about how your reporting affected your view on coalition building on the left.
2) I offered you a chance to talk about whatever you thought the main take aways of the book were. I asked germane follow up questions.

3) We agreed to record the podcast at 1pm on Friday. You kept my producer and I waiting an hour and then showed up in a car on your phone.
You ignored the detailed technical instructions and were not in a position to conduct a quality, professional recording. I said nothing about this, but simply offered to reschedule at a time that was better or you. We agreed to Sunday. That left no time to record a back up.

Let's allow for a moment that this is true.

What does that say about a party that dismissed the "Bernie Bros'" request for modest reforms like a $15 minimum wage or a VP that didn't support the Hyde Amendment &, instead, courted conservative suburban voters by moving right?
Corporate Democrats sold out their base to get Republican voters, lost parts of their base as a consequence, and have spent the last *five years* kvetching -- pretending that the left left the party when it is they who abandoned the base.
As @MalaikaJabali 87 *thousand* Black voters *in Wisconsin ALONE* voted in 2012 and then declined to vote in 2016. The reasons most frequently cited?

“unhappy with choice of candidates or issues" 33%

“Not interested” 8.8%

“vote would not have mattered” 6.6%

A reminder that while Nader received 95,000 votes in Florida, 308,000 *registered Democrats* voted for Bush.

(Only 24,000 registered Dems voted for Nader).
Also, if we’re imagining a world without spoilers…

Watching He’s All That and feeling sorry for Gen Z. You deserve better.
So does Rachel Leigh Cook.
Why do producers think that the way to modernize a plot is to make it heavy handey about social media? “It’s not a modern teen movie without a chat screen scrolling over the opening dialogue!”

Of course our soulful nerdy makeover subject isn’t into social media. Or new music.🙄
