Happy New Year! Here is a thread of threads I will be keeping up with in 2024 including my

movie thread.
LOL I hope Cillian Murphy realizes that winning an Oscar now means that The Academy will keep requesting his presence until he retires lmao. It's like winning the Hunger Games. You're never actually done.
I really defended emoblackthot when other accounts were trying to steal the concept because “Black women cant have shit” and he’s not even a Black woman 😂
Asian films keep getting nominated but The Academy refuses to nominate performance categories. Like why tf is Greta Lee or Teo Yoo not nominated but Past Lives is and they didn’t even nominate Celine Song for best director?

Kendrick Lamar being the first hip hop artist to win a
#Pulitzer
prize is a revolutionary sign of rap's influence. But it's also overdue considering the fact that rap started off as a form of journalism and poetry. It's about talking about what's happening where you come from.
@IWriteAllDay_
Can we also talk about how eating disorders and mental issues like depression and anxiety are looked at is being dramatic? The highly dramatized (and sometimes glamorized) version of white girls on TV with eating disorders was not my experience. Now I'm gaining weight and shamed.
@ZoeRoseBryant
I get the critique in other areas like with accents and the lack of MENA actors but when people focus on Jessica and Paul, it gives they’re missing the point. Dune is anti-Savior and Jessica is very obviously manipulating people. Even Leto using Fremen against the emperor.
South Korea choosing to cancel him but Yoo Ah In had a bone tumor (it's why he was exempt from the military) and has said that he deals with chronic pain. A lot of people with chronic pain have sadly turned to illegal drug use.
I need a more credible source to tell me what’s happening but according to some shoddy gossip sites, Aretha Franklin is gravely ill. Prayers for her if that’s true.
Ruth E. Carter becomes the first Black person to win for Costume Design and Hannah Beachler became the first Black person to win for Production Design for their work on Black Panther. They also won Marvel’s first

No same and I hate when people downplay that. Like yeah it’s not that serious but sometimes you hit a breaking point. I’ve cried because my charger stopped working one day.
I cannot praise Zendaya’s work as Chani enough in DUNE: PART TWO. There’s a moment in the third act where she quietly and subtly reacts to Paul and it absolutely crushed me, bringing me to tears. Timothée Chalamet is fantastic, but Zendaya really impressed me here.
For the new Cillian Murphy fans, please go watch Watching the Detectives (2007). It’s a romcom with Lucy Liu and Cillian plays a physical media film snob hipster in LA. It’s so funny and so stupid. He creates these weird scenarios and acts like he’s the center of a noir film.
These racist Jennie Nguyen posts really highlight the fact that other minorities really hate and have a weird contempt towards Black people. Being racists to us really gives them their faux sense of a seat at the table. Y'all will never EVER be white. Seek healing weirdos

I feel like as a Housewives fan community, we should be more horrified at Diana Jenkins and Caroline Stanbury even being loosely linked to Epstein. Like I feel like there's outrage but not nearly enough.

I’m not about to cancel Timothée Chalamet for making a bad early career choice by working with Woody Allen. Woody should be punished, and he hasn’t been. Refocus that energy into canceling him instead of a young and talented actor.
People who hated Lucas in season 1 of Stranger Things annoy me because while Mike was falling in love, Lucas was the main one trying to find Will aka their best friend. Also Lucas stays saving the day.
Never forget the hate tweets Lucas from stranger things got cause he wasn’t feeling Eleven in season one. They was really mad cause lil dude wasn’t full blown accepting of a stranger with telekinesis 😭😭
@emoblackthot
I mean if you’re going to have a whole career as an influencer now then does your apology really matter because you were pretending to be a queer Black woman. We don’t get anything out of being Black women but people can cosplay as us and get clout and possible jobs.

The funniest part about all of this is that people deadass hate
@TheVixensworld
for being too political yet they're saying that people should just get over you making a racially insensitive joke. I wonder what the difference is...

@rgay
My exact sentiments. A young woman possibly has connections and opportunities severed because wealthy and prominent authors decided to pile on her based on a doctored screenshot.
It's just so crazy how Betty White would trend and we would think she passed but it wasn't that and this time when I saw her trend my thought was "Oh she's turning 100 soon" and it was actually the fact that she passed...
I feel emotional about the

. What a groundbreaking moment. Major congrats to Kehinde Wiley and Amy Sherald on their National Portrait Gallery OFFICIAL portraits of Barack and Michelle Obama.

but this is some extremely dangerous dog whistle racism and I’m going to need you to read the room. You can have an opinion on what Will Smith did to defend Jada who suffers w/ alopecia that has been a traumatizing experience but check yourself

Because Kiki Layne’s people are supposedly trying to get the job as Storm because she actually is dark skinned and a phenomenal actress.
All this "research" about Korea and Japan but nothing about *WHY* Black American culture is often the most appropriated and mass marketed aspect of "American culture". There is a reason for this and it's racism.
Conversations about K-Pop and “appropriation” are really grating to me bc it once again makes everything about our wildly global world US centric and that’s just intellectually lazy.
It also ignores the fact that for much of the 20th century Korea was an occupied country.
@MugenMugen6
They laugh when Jimin falls too. Stop being so sensitive and trying to start drama. Yoongi is not a mean person, he looked and when he saw that Namjoon was okay he laughed.
No for real...I'm tired. Shoutout to Jordan Peele for making horror movies with all black leads. I want all-black films that aren't always tied to trauma. Let's get a Scream-like franchise with a black cast. Sci-fi movie. Superhero movie. Anything!

That's not what the fuck I said so don't twist my words. I'm simply saying that just like how I'm not about to sit here and tell trans people how to react to transphobic jokes because I'm CIS, I don't need non-Black people telling me how to respond to a joke that's anti-Black.
@EPM106
The way they made his eyes instantly age with all the knowledge in the world after drinking from the water of life. He looked exhausted and burdened the rest of the movie. And so full of rage.
I’m usually Team Kourtney but the fact that she thinks Kim went out of her way to copy her to be malicious is just her projecting. She didn’t take Kylie’s seriously because she just doesn’t take Kylie seriously. She’s threatened by Kim.

@marenyearly
People are talking about how they'd style the movie and it takes away most of the Mattel aesthetic which is literally the heart of the styling. And the costume designer has multiple awards like...
These authors who cyberbully young women who read their books then have the nerve to offer a half-apology in the form of "I'm just a normal person who happens to write books. I had a momentary lapse of judgment and I forget that I have an audience." Fuck you

Yeah Ashley has Lyme Disease and Mary Kate had an eating disorder and suffered with drug addiction at one point. I think given how many lives have been lost, people need to be more responsible with their platforms.
