So is Licorice Pizza trending because of the grooming stuff, or the racist stuff, or the fact that if you get over both of those things it's just an OK movie?

For those who haven't figured this out, the people calling to "defund the FBI" this week will absolutely replace it with something worse.

Absolutely love @criterionchannl@twitter.com focusing on oft-overlooked actors and filmmakers. Getting an introduction by Jamelle makes it even better.

The far left wants to unionize our workplaces while the far right wants to run over peaceful protestors with their cars.

What if they're both wrong?

Snyder makes virtually every scene look like it's from 300. I am begging people to look beyond Marvel/DC/blockbusters in general.

Just going to unfollow/mute anybody complaining about leftists, Bernie, 3rd party voters, etc as if Obama, RBG, Pelosi, Biden, et al didn't just hand wave away all of the concern leading directly to this moment.

Really good piece for those interested.

What do you want to bet that out of the meager "wins" all that will really come out of this is billions of dollars in police funding?
