It happens *all the time*

Austin is still a White Hipster Mecca, so that conversation happens frequently. And it's annoying as hell😂

95% of the "these women want to be men" is a cowards way of saying "i am insecure because i can't call myself a provider if she makes more than me." And it will be from the same men who say "these women only want me for my money." Tell the truth and shame the Trump.

This is important because women who are higher educated and higher income have more difficulty dating

Call someone out on their casual racism, and they'll tell you all about the Black music they listened to for exactly 4 years when they were a teenager.

Gonna do an essay about how MTV made white Gen X-ers think racism evaporated in the 90s.

In 1995, they decided Rap had become so mainstream & popular they no longer needed “Yo! MTV Raps” during a Golden Era. This meant GZA, Redman & Method Man, Junior Mafia, Mobb Deep, Onyx, Fugees, etc. videos were played between Bjork, Tool, Smashing Pumpkins, No Doubt, Silverchair & Oasis ones…

My cousin stayed in the triangle after he graduated from Winston-Salem, because it was clearly growing.

Took his ass back down to Charlotte because “at least we have actual roads down here”

And we’ve been “paying” for it ever since. White folks thinking they lived in a completely integrated society based on the 2-3 Black archetypes they saw on MTV, and the music they stopped listening to once it stopped being “edgy” to like Rap.

Like ironically the answer to "Why does Disney keep making 'TRON?'" is the same as "Why is VR, crypto and AI forced into everything?"

Only about 1000 guys in 1982 ever *loved* 'TRON' ...but 990 of them now have influential movie, tech, music and media-executive jobs 🤷‍♂️

The thing with "TRON" is, it's *the* GenX fanboy franchise where rhry keep doing EXACTLY what "the fans" demand of all this stuff, conceptually (taking it DEADLY serious, fixating on the lore and how-thoughs, recreating the vibes, etc) and also keep hitting the low ceiling of appeal that has 🤷‍♂️

Bob Chipman 🔜PAX East @bobchipman.bsky.social · 3h

I don't think most audiences could pick Jared Leto out of a lineup to save their lives or have ever cared about "TRON" as a movie franchise, so they probably have a neutral effect on eachother. Neither of these things are popular 🤷‍♂️

My fav genre of music is when the lead is getting ate up by the background singers. Cause why would you to sit Mariah Carey behind you?! 😭

Anyway… It’s Year 2: Day 173 of making my bed first thing in the morning. Y’all have a great day, be good to yourselves and each other!✌🏾

Rest in peace, Drew Struzan. His movie posters are much more than marketing. They're some of the finest pop art you'll ever see. Look at this masterpiece:

Christopher Columbus was dragged back to Spain in chains by a crusading knight, convicted of tyranny and immeasurable cruelty, pardoned by Isabella but banned from returning to Hispaniola.

Fuck Columbus.
