As an adult I think me and all my friends should all have matching schedules and work like 20 hours a week and also everyone lives within 15 minutes of each other why is that so much to ask

STAR TREK: THE MOTION PICTURE (1979) dir. Robert Wise
Thinking about Tarsus IV and how much that must have sculpted Jim into the person who knew every crew member by name, loved his crew like they were a kin of 500, never dared to put them through pain or stress even when it seemed impossible, and treated his power of command as a minute if not false aspect of his title. Because to command someone to do something is what his childhood was ripe of, but to lead and educate and strengthen a person was his wildest dream
White People on tumblr who dont listen to rap, ignoring all the racial and historical context of why Kendrick is going against drake to just make it a fun trendy meme/ Kendrick being a hater is the same exact reason Kendrick called drake a colonizer
As someone who knows, like, nothing at all about rap, could someone give me a SparkNotes rundown on the racial/historical context of the situation? Because I've tried to find a good summary but mostly all I've found is very light hearted "lol this is hilarious" stuff or dramatised "OOHHHH, THERES BEEF' stuff, which hasn't really helped me work out what's going on
There are no "sparknotes" for years, if not at least decades of racial/historical context for a whole genre of music that leads to this point.
However, if you're truly interested in learning about it, F.D Signifier has a whole indepth video about Drake and where he stands in the Rap/Hip Hop community
Also
This is a good follow-up to that video
Also, for general understanding of how Hip Hop ended up comodified to give even more context and understanding why it's considered that Drake is just a colonizer in the genre, I recommend Lil Bill's 3 parter on how the hood and subsequently rap and hip-hop got comodified
Theres also vids going over every diss exchanged between Drake and Kendrick and all that but those don't go over why people like Drake are a problem.
he drinks a scary drink. he drinks a creepy drink. he drinks a frightful drink. he drinks a freaky drink.

i've been rewatching the original cast recording and play it by ear NONSTOP for the past couple of days and i gotta tell you. i am absolutely, completely, utterly smitten with jess mckenna. please accept this tribute as a monument of my love
sam’s reveal at the end makes this a thousand times funnier
Okay, first of all: it is not at all surprising that tumblr is into this beef. at least half of being in fandom is beefing constantly, and the levels of haterdom that Kendrick Lamar has achieved are...... truly impressive and a little bit scary.
this is gonna be messy and not comprehensive but i've been thinking about this for like a week and there's just so much....... context. there's layers to this shit.
so let's start at the beginning.
something that always gets me when I rewatch Leverage is the poor flight attendant in the Mile High Job
she's just having a normal day when the crew needs to get Parker onto a flight as a flight attendant so Hardison calls this poor woman up to tell her that the cat is at the local shelter and she needs to come get it immediately if she knows what he's saying, and of course she freaks out
can you imagine her showing up at the shelter and her cat's not there, nobody knows what she's talking about, she tries to call the number back but of course it won't work. she must have been panicked all to shit, thinking it must have been a different shelter and she won't get there in time, or that it was this shelter and they just don't want to tell her the truth
finally it occurs to her to go home and check on her cat, who of course is fine, and she must end the day thinking someone played a particularly cruel prank on her
then she sees on the news that the flight she would have been on nearly crashed and had to make an emergency landing on the highway, and the sheer wtfery of that
I bet she thinks about that every night of her goddamned life.
Found my 53yo very-much-not-online father in the kitchen today meticulously arranging cutlery on the countertop and i was like 'what are you doing' and he looked up at me with the world's most shit-eating grin and said "Your mother told me this is how you rick-roll the Youth" and i looked over and it was fucking. Loss.jpg.
i must stress that he's never seen the original comic. My mother simply showed him the shorthand symbol and he memorized it. As far as he is aware this is just a fucking hieroglyph that deals instant psychic damage to everyone under the age of 30
No, no. I can have one more shot, I swear. I won’t start behaving like a flamboyantly gay pansy stock character in a pre-code film again. I swear. You can trust me. Darling, you must trust me.
