Huh? You want this cabbage? No no no, it’s 30 seconds past due. It spent several days if not weeks being perfectly edible in a shipping container and will continue to be edible for at least a few more days, but we have to incinerate it.
I’m more forgiving of TDKR because of the League of Shadow’s previously stated goals. Funny how we’ll never get a movie where a bourgeois revolution is orchestrated by the bad guys.
But yeah the Flag Breakers in the Falcon show are given the classic liberal treatment of “their ideas are good, but their methods are wrong, and it’d never work anyway!”
The detail of the hands and flatness of the body/legs is what I like most about the piece. It does make me question how deliberate that choice was. The high contrast on the cheek bone versus the relatively softer highlights on the hands (and the very subtle value changes on the black shirt) appear as three distinct moments, which to me contributes to the discontinuity the most. It feels like a first draft at a really solid idea. I think 5 or 6 more iterations of this concept will produce some amazing pieces. What a phenomenal start though.
If they’re American I just assume they mean they vote for democrats but in a way that they think somehow makes them look cooler, like with a Bernie birdie pin or something. I think that’s about as deep as their political tendencies run.
So i desperately tried to explain why black people commit more crimes
I’m almost black people commit crime at relatively the same rate as other racial groups.
not due to some abstract cultural difference between white people and black people, but because they live in absolute poverty, desolation, and often literally have no other choice.
This only loosely explains why black people are more likely to be charged with certain types of crime.
The reason black people make up a larger percentage of the US prison population and are more likely to be charged with crimes in the first place is because police target black people. This is a systemic and ubiquitous phenomenon in police departments. Many factors contribute to more convictions for black people, but next time you might want to lean into how black neighborhoods and towns are over-policed.
Absolutely.
I don’t think I articulated my point about parents being entitled well enough. I assume their entitlement is born out of an unconscious understanding that child rearing requires community support. But we are so atomized by capital infused lifestyles that some parents seem very entitled when their kids enter school. I think that us educators have to realize that school is, for some of parents, their first interaction in their adult lives with community support. So we get parents who want us to raise their children because they might be exhausted by their own efforts. They’re trying to impart the labor of child rearing onto the education system. And I don’t blame them at all for that. That entitled behavior can be very negative though.
In a sane society, we would attempt unburden the education system by providing housing, free childcare, walkable neighborhoods, health insurance, etc.
