I miss the days when critical race theory was all the rage. Such innocent times 🥰
Um...let’s see...I’ll take “what happened to CRT” for $200 Bob.
I hope they bring snacks and blankets. It can get cold out there.
E. Jean Carroll is my retribution.
In the 90s I had an amazing piano teacher, who was black, and he stressed the incredible importance of learning and drilling Bach (white European) because gospel and jazz were very much influenced by church music and, specifically Bach. I never thought of this in terms of “appropriation”. I just thought it was how music and musicians have operated forever. That said, “intellectual property theft” is real and unjust, but “cultural appropriation” seems like a BS term to me.

I’m not sure I’m “fighting” anything. I just don’t really by the hypothesis. My open mind keeps me fully open to the extraordinary evidence required to support such a hypothesis.
I’ll chip in five bucks to get on this MF’n list.

Results are out for the guaranteed basic income pilot in Austin where 135 people got $1,000/mo for a year.
9% of people reported working less and 7% reported working more. Of those who worked less, half upskilled for better future jobs, and half chose unpaid care work.
Housing security significantly increased, as did food security. People lived in better housing and ate more balanced meals.
People also felt significantly more connected to the people and places in their neighborhoods.
Bring on the deep state roulette.

Margo Robbie’s competition:
Best Actress in a LEADING Role:
Annette Bening (Nyad)
Lily Gladstone (Killers of the Flower Moon)
Sandra Hüller (Anatomy of a Fall)
Carey Mulligan (Maestro)
Emma Stone (Poor Things)
Ryan Goslings competition:
Best Actor in a SUPPORTING Role
Sterling K. Brown (American Fiction)
Robert De Niro (Killers of the Flower Moon)
Robert Downey Jr. (Oppenheimer)
Ryan Gosling (Barbie)
Mark Ruffalo (Poor Things)
Some things are not like the others🤔
Just want to point out that best actress and best supporting actor are two separate categories. Check your dogma at the door. 
Like Ryan Gosling, America Ferrera was nominated (and rightly so) for best supporting actress. Any complaints there?
Honestly, I think Ryan Gosling is padding. Robert Downey, Junior, is probably going to get best supporting. But that’s my opinion.
Here are the nominees for best actress in a leading role. This is Margo Robbie’s competition. Not Ryan Gosling.
Annette Bening (Nyad)
Lily Gladstone (Killers of the Flower Moon)
Sandra Hüller (Anatomy of a Fall)
Carey Mulligan (Maestro)
Emma Stone (Poor Things)
Sorry Margo, but there are some pretty solid performances here.
Best actor and best supporting actor are two separate categories. Margot Robbie was the lead and Ryan Gosling was in a supporting role. Stop with the apples to oranges comparisons. They cheapen the ACTUAL problems of inequality.
