    He seems to have done his research and is obviously very passionate about this. I haven't and I'm also white so maybe I shouldn't even say too much about this issue. I think I interpreted the film differently though. The message I got at the end of the film was that any radical group can quickly turn into something fanatical that denies its own allies. Like Patrice saying she doesn't date cops even though he's trying to help her. I also disagree with him saying that the film was telling black people to "stop worrying about the police, they're on your side" (or something to that effect I'm on mobile so I don't have his tweet up). I felt like the film was saying that this change isn't going to come around from a war between the black community and the cops. It Has to come from within the police. Whether that be from more black officers or from showing white officers why they may have skin in the game too. I'm not necessarily saying I 100% agree but that's what I felt like Spike Lee was saying when I saw it.

    Maybe not something you're interested in but nerite snails have done wonders for my glass. I got some from aquarium co-op online and they all came through alive (might be different depending on how far away from their store you live). They've been the most active feeders and they keep almost my entire tank clean.

    I've got a 29 gallon community with some tetras, Mollies, and shrimp. I also have a 10 gallon with a betta and some snails. My betta has been having constant issues with fin rot which is really bumming me and my wife out. I'm going to start twice weekly water changes this week in hopes of cutting down the bacteria hurting him.

    This episode is the one that causes me the most internal conflict when considering what life with this technology would be like. On the one hand I could see myself acting like this episode, becoming more and more obsessed with what those memories contain. I also have wished for a technology like this before. The number of fights my wife and I could have avoided is huge. Most of our arguments center around us both remembering an event or conversation differently. Overall I think technology like this would be damaging to many individuals but I definitely can see the appeal of having it.

    Futurama is such an amazing show and this looks to be more on that route than the Simpsons. I'm so excited for it.

    I know it's a little off topic but one of my favorite things about Hollywood is watching the wide array of projects different actors take on and sometimes together. Like Jonah Hill has always been a comedy man but now he's transitioning into drama perfectly. Now to see him and Emma Stone reunited is bonkers. It's a superbad reunion in a trippy sci-fi mind bender.

    Did you not like Teyana Taylor’s or just didn’t listen to it? I noticed it’s not on your list.

    I have a project I want to work on but this is also a good chance to ask some advice from Tildes users. I'm learning Java and quite enjoying it. I learned some JavaFX and wanted to develop an application with it. Is it worth learning FXML or is that useless? Is JavaFX even that useful?

    If you're a movie person I love Kermode and Mayo. They have a special kind of banter that only two hyper-intelligent Brits can have. Really funny and Mark is an excellent critic.

    Not sure if this will be the obvious answer but the new Kanye album has been bumping in my car since it was released. I'm not in love with every song but a couple of them are just amazing to me.
