Beyond the fact that Arab Muslims are historically credited with laying the foundations for modern sciences and math... I can assure you there are hundreds, thousands, of Arabs, people of all cultures and backgrounds for that matter, working in STEM today, being awarded Nobel Prizes, etc.

RFK: "There's five hundred million Arabs in the world. And yet they don't produce science. They don't win the Nobel Prize. They don't win the Fields Prize. They don't win the Wolf Prize. They don't produce literature."

Watching PatStaresAt's Life Is Strange stream taught me a few things. 1. Pat is scarily media literate 2. Never trust a young male teacher, ever. 3. The Pacific Northwest is forever tied to Twin Peaks 4. Max Caulfield may one of most powerful fictional characters ever...

When in Kansas City, you can get brisket or chicken or pulled pork, but those who know ask for a nice juicy piece of Abraham Lincoln

Huttese is a perfect fictional example of a trade language. A language spoken originally by one group of space slug conquerors-turned Gangsters. Due to their deep influence on trade, even systems that aren't directly within Hutt Space have a Huttese linguistic presence.

Huttese is also a Lingua Franca. For species who may not know each other's native language, can communicate with each other through Huttese. Though there are also examples, like with Han Solo, where he never speaks Huttese, but clearly understands it perfectly.

Rocky Horror is one of those things that I COMPLETELY understand why people criticize it, and I COMPLETELY understand why people continue to embrace and celebrate it. It's strange, really.

One of the most frustrating things about all the left Sensibles saying they opposed the Zionism is racism motion is that the won't expand on why they oppose it. Just piously say it was a bad idea and then clamming up.

For fuck's sake find other references. That transphobic hag does not get to perpetually dominate the zietgeist. The terms "soul sucking" and "drain the happiness out of me" existed before dementors. Use your big girl brain and find a better way to say it without falling back on your 4th grade read

none of these people have any passion. they do not understand the meaning of the word ‘hobbyist,’ they just want recognition and for people to call them ‘cracked’ without the work. they do not understand that the sense of fulfillment comes from the journey and not the destination

Whenever we talk about a problematic artist, some ppl in the comments always go, "Well, I always knew X's art always sucked." Like... ok? Not really the point, but glad you're making it clear you were never "tainted". It's more about making clear their purity than engaging with the conversation.

Maybe the way to bring Blade to screen again is to COMPLETELY divorce him from the version popularized by Wesley Snipes. 1. Make him British Again. He was originally BRITISH! Making him british again will give Blade a unique identity true to his origins.

BUT he'd be great for a blade sequel, as either an antagonist, a rival, or even have him have been experimented on BY Vampires to gain his power, then joining Blade to fight them as two pseudo-vamps. Aaanyway, onto some ideas for how to direct a British Blade film.

I think it'd be interesting to take inspiration from gritty british cinema from the 90s and 2000s, namely Guy Ritchie and Danny Boyle. Imagine a Blade film in the style of Snatch-meets-28 Days Later. Cool, huh? Anyway these are my 2AM Blade-centric thoughts.

2. Really focus on building the vampiric underbelly of Marvel. Bring in Dracula, bring in Varnae, hell, bring in Deacon Frost and Hannibal King but closer to their comic counterparts (King being a good guy vampire). And... bring in Morbius.

Gimme a second! I know Morbius doesn't have the best cultural caché since Jared's double-flop BUT Morbius has a storied relationship with the Daywalker, at one time being credited as the one who gave Blade his Daywalker powers through a bite, though that was retconned. Okay maybe no Morb.

Jfc Sex work is a valid profession. Stop inserting your puritanical views and personal trauma into something thats always existed. Youre also taking the power away from SWers who own what they do and pretending theyre all victims.

Why is the Blade IP so cursed? Both the MCU project AND the Arkane-developed game went through pure dev-hell, with the former being canned after like 7 years and the latter being on life-support looking for a publisher. Like... what's the issue?
