Take a break to praise your Creator. Stomp it out. Scream it out. Shake it out. Release the tensions and frustrations binding you in this climate of intentional terror. For those of us who are awake belong to the day. We are to “put on faith and love as a breastplate, and the hope of salvation as a helmet.”

Book Review: Defining Moments of Black History by Dick Gregory
My short summary is: Gregory was an insensitive jerk of such magnitude, it’s impossible to wrap my mind or sensitivities around the thought. He comes across as a know-it-all-name-dropping gossip riding the coattails of historical figures in order to position himself in prominent historic incidents a la Forest Gump.
Severance: The Attractiveness of Character and Performance
I see Severance as men being men in varying relationships and situational dynamics. The sacredness and universality of men embodying manhood through emotional vulnerability. Undiluted maleness that’s not in doubt or watered down; that’s not commercial, shallow, or one-dimensional. Most importantly, it’s about everyday manliness that’s not predicated or framed by physical violence.
Severance: Am I Severed?
One of the first existential questions I asked myself after rewatching Season 1 following the first few episodes of Season 2, was, “Am I severed?” The second question was, “Aren’t we all severed?”
The unexpected joy of this series is the unending layers of meaning, creativity, symbolism, and nuance.
Opium-fueled Fruit Farms
Spending time behind the curtain of self-proclaimed racist cyberstalker trolls has been truly underwhelming. In their attempts to be edgy and profanely free speaking, they present as severely stunted in all ways important for human development.
Author Review: Patrick S. Tomlinson
Based on what he’s shared here, I can only conclude Patrick Tomlinson’s books are as crappy and inferior as he is as the most nutrient deprived earth dust.
Film Review: Sinners
Sinners is an excellent example of how multicultural representation in film enriches the presentation and experience of a film. A multicultural cast shows and tells a story far better than any monotone cast possibly can, even then there’s not a fully fleshed out story.
