The aunts of my family (including Mom) took the young cousins, ranging in age from six (my sister) to 14, to see the film as a group of eight.

And my sis LOVED it. Watched the show, made a Halloween costume, got the toys. She made sure to see the sequel in theaters, too!

“I was tired. It didn’t appear anything good was ever going to happen,” he said. “And then Renee Good got shot. And I don’t remember being so distinctly angry at a news story in my life. I was just so fucking angry for days. Then I turned on Alex Jones to see what he was talking about, and he had Kyle Rittenhouse on and he was saying things that weren’t true and I was like nope, that’s it. He’s just going to keep selling boner pills on the back of the worst tragedies in our country in perpetuity unless someone puts a check on this.”

Sweet! @jessicawluther.com, I'm very much looking forward to reading this. It's all been such a stupid red herring, and SO many cowards have waffled on the topic, I'm glad to see a reporter w/ some IRL demonstrated courage assigned to cover it. Texas doesn't have many anymore. Or certainly, enough.

Digital Underground doesn't get enough love.

I think a lot about the breadth of hiphop that gets disappeared over time, primarily through the focus on the superstars as the backwards lens, instead of the community that hiphop built as a larger conversation of music.

“I look for affection where I know it isn’t. When I’m invited closer, I start to push. I welcome the bad faith of strangers and distrust the praise of friends. I crave the approval of people I don’t like and the love of people who don’t love me.”
