I'm close to meeting my savings goal, so I'm thinking hard again about van life.

Being free and just floating really appeals to me.

That said, I hate the idea of spending so much money on gas, so I wonder if I can find an electric van.

@mwlucas Right??

@mwlucas I understood what he was trying to say, but he was toxic and hostile about it, just like most rich old white guys when they talk about something they don't like. It's all angst and hyperbole.

No one is mistaking Marvel films for masterpieces of film making, but to say those films are DESTROYING CINEMA is utterly ridiculous in light of the history of film and how only privileged folks could make movies.

It just shows a profound detachment to reality and gross entitlement.

I generally don't mind Scorsese because he's done some good work.

But let's not forget they gave dude an Oscar for remaking a Chinese film with white people.

So this sanctimonious non-sense he's stomping about art vs commerce falls flat for me.

He just sounds like he's whining because the industry is moving on without him.

@ansugeisler I think he cleaned it up after he started catching flak for it and to a certain extent I agree.

But all the examples he uses are by old white guys. And consumerism in movies isn’t new.

Far be it from me to defend Marvel flicks, but his original diatribe felt so antagonistic and entitled, similar to Speilberg and his Oscar bullshit.

Martin Scorsese just sounds like and old white guy that’s upset movies aren’t made in the way he thinks they should be anymore.

Not everybody can afford the grandiose shit he’s talking about and cinema today is *infinitely* better because it’s so much more accessible.

I don’t care for Marvel films either, but to key on those as examples of how bad film making has become is not only dishonest, but also myopic and arrogant.

Times have changed.

@xLexcLoveex We'll figure it out.

Been thinking a lot about NYC lately. I think I need to visit for awhile.

@xLexcLoveex Let's do it. Whenever you got time.

@xLexcLoveex I'll make wings. My wings are DEVASTATING.

I wonder if @xLexcLoveex would binge Power with me when the season ends.

I feel like I gotta watch it again with a fan of the show. And yes, I mean from the beginning.

All that to say keep working together to deplatform bigots and their friends. Keep collaborating to make them uncomfortable.

It's working. Their frustration is growing because they can't just move about freely like the once did and they are actually being held accountable for the violence they are enabling.

Nothing pisses off a bigot more than to be treated like one.

Keep pushing. We're setting a whole new paradigm. We got this.

If you look at any alt-right movement that's gained popularity over the last few years, the put up a public face that is safe for white folks, but ha, as it turns out, the same hateful people behind closed doors.

Those practices have been emulated quite a few times on the fedi. They even use the same vocabulary and reasoning. Hell, the whole 'free speech' angle is a great example.

Much like Spencer, they don't give a shit about free speech. They just want to spread their hate.

To keep it all the way real, Spencer whining about how his events are *hard* know reminds of a lot of commentary on here when it comes to vulnerable communities protecting themselves.

I'm not gonna pull receipts, but I know who talks wild shit about PV and how we run this instance and the sheer entitlement they have in excepting to have access to whatever we do, even when their friends are primary instigators of harm against us.

They say one thing in public, but their actions don't match.

@policeinchains Ha, you're not missing much, just a confirmation of what we already knew.

But it is pretty funny.

And as we've seen, white folks no matter what political side they profess, will come at you *hard* when you take away their privilege when it comes to accessing communities they are not a part of. In my experience, they revert pretty quickly to the same hateful posture of the people the are allegedly against.

Not behaving like a bigot really isn't a hard ask. Not being a random dickhead to people you don't know is a pretty low bar.

If we can't even meet there, everything else is irrelevant.
