sad to report that Chris Pine did not, in fact, sing “Agony (Reprise)” in this movie 😔 so it’s a 9/10 for me
whenever you find yourself baffled, even enraged, by who the Academy rewards and who they don't - i find remembering that the Academy Awards were created by Hollywood mogul Louis B Mayer with the specific purpose of preventing mass unionisation helps. Mayer figured if Hollywood workers were made to think of themselves as artists rather than labourers they'd be less inclined to unionise. Of the awards, Mayer famously said in the late 1920s, "if I give them cups and awards, they'd kill themselves to produce what I wanted." Also by awarding and inviting few, Mayer and the Academy pushed individualist aspirations and exceptionalism over collectivism. Considering the upcoming Writers Guild strike over the exploitation streaming has created that Hollywood producers are trying to suppress (which is why a lot of shows are being cancelled btw because they don't want to pay writers), this anti-union legacy is still clearly alive and well. The majority of these Hollywood award shows were not created to actually award artistic merit, but to create an illusion of artistic meritocracy that would stifle solidarity among workers. So, whenever you find yourself baffled, even enraged, by who the Academy rewards and who they don't, remember that's not what they're really for.

It should go without saying that people matter exponentially more than property, yet that’s clearly not what’s valued. Police are the biggest gang in America and it’s time to hold them accountable foreal.

What’s crazy is that the documents uncovered in the arrests of the white nationalists like the Boogaloo and Proud boys showed that the fires, shooting, damages, etc at the BLM rallies was often started by the white nationalists in a (mostly successful) attempt to besmirch BLM protesters and start a race war.
It’s one of the reasons MLK wrote that those who supported civil rights should stop protesting (which he called “methods of persuasion”) and switch to boycotts, lawsuits, and voting marches (which he called “methods of coercion”)
“What?” You say. “Wasn’t I taught that MLK led mighty protests where people were beaten and that attention changed hearts and minds?”
Yes … that’s what you were taught however - for the past 50 or so years there’s been a concerted movement from large industry to whitewash MLKs message and change his actual strategy to “protest and get noticed/beaten”, the exact strategy he rejected repeatedly.
The MLK and Gandhi messages of how to do civil disobedience was defanged in modern textbooks to become “your suffering makes a change!” The “make noise and people will pay attention” is a story DESIGNED to get progressives to waste energy in the most inefficient manner.

what i love most about this tumblr poll era is that all of us immediately decided to unleash every single social behaviour experiment of the last century onto each other in a way that would make even the hardiest of psychologists tremble. it's like if lab rats saw what the scientists were doing and decided to cut out the middle man
I finally got polls!
Since posts can run for a full week I wanted to see how this spreads
For it to spread, it needs reblogged. Reblog for science yall! Let's help OP!
this is the representation nepo babies deserve
I think it's important to know, there's an older picture of David signing stuff, with his father-in-law WHO WAS THE FIFTH DOCTOR, holding a very similar sign behind David's back. I don't have the pic, but you can probably find it if you look a bit.
