a tumblr post reads "been listening to the knuckles raps from sa2 while pretending to not know the music is from a video game and i highly recommend the experience. really good from the perspective of a normal rapper who talks about ghosts trying to kill him and his ability to telepathically detect gemstones in the earth"
a reblog reads "i did this once while driving a classmate who knew nothing about sonic to college and she said in full seriousness 'it's so sad that he feels like he can't depend on anyone but himself'"

Federal Reserve Board - Proposal Details The Federal Reserve Board of Governors in Washington DC.

The government is asking for public comments on whether banks should be able to deny you from buying legal goods at their own whim (i.e. how they're cracking down on art)

Birth of a Nation is a misunderstood film, IMO, depiction is not endorsement, and DW Griffith's contributions to cinematography shouldn't be overshadowed by the fact that some people decided to interpret his film as supporting controversial political agendas.

Wait, I just found some clips online.
That's... look, I'll take Griffith at his word that he wasn't trying to seem borderline-fanatically bigoted, but really man; this could have used a second draft.

Huh. The film's treatment of Lincoln is surprisingly sympathetic. I think I can see what Griffith was going for, but some of the choices he made really detract from the more nuanced ideas he wanted to put across (why do the black characters speak like that?)

my other genre thought today is "speculative" to mean only "science fiction/fantasy" is basically useless. all fiction is speculative. you wanna tell me Wolf Hall isn't speculative? write me an essay about how Wolf Hall isn't speculative, i demand to see it

i don't think this is a clever observation or anything and it's certainly not fully formed, but there's something different about exploring a book and its place in the world for yourself and picking up something that's already told you what boxes it's trying to fill
