Ben Kingsley’s birth name is Khrishna Pandit Bhanji, and yet I have seen his casting as Gandhi being described as whitewashing a number of times!
Kingsley is definitely the OG “looks vaguely ethnic unless the role needs him not to” actor.
I’d also nominate Edward James Olmos here.

How do you deal with people whose entire knowledge of history is just half remembered ads from the 20th century? People who take images made to sell nylons and beer and hold them up as an ideal society?

Forgive me for being the kind of simple minded chuckle fuck who thinks that once a problem is solved, nobody should ever have to think about it again beyond looking up the solution.

My Commodore 64 Ultimate also arrived in time for the holidays. Loved the packaging and the manual is great. The machine itself is beautiful and feels well made. Looking forward to hooking it up once I’m better. #C64U #Commodore

This is why my standard procedure is to let shows have 3 episodes to set the hook. That seems to be the average run-up in my experience.
Ya gotta give them some time to build momentum, most shows don't work going full send from the start.

I see a lot of people complaining that Pluribus is slow and boring.
This is what TV and movies used to be like before Netflix changed the law requiring characters to explain the plot in the first 15 minutes of runtime.

I’ve never seen an Avatar film. I don’t know anyone in my life who has. And yet it’s apparently the highest grossing trilogy ever? Well, good for them. I don’t see the appeal, but I’m not the target audience.

Tried all my utility carts , fastload, kff and even the ultimate II on my C64U and they all worked even if they are a bit redundant the only one that didn’t work was the 1764reu but that one matters the least. Just seeing what happens! #Commodore64

Reality check:
1. Most people don’t use Xitter
2. Even fewer people use Bluesky
3. Trying to vibe check reality based on either is a dumb idea

Want to know what history to study to figure out why people didn't die?
Agriculture.
Keeping people fed and advancing technologies and techniques for increasing crop yields and preservation techniques contributed FAR more to humanity than any war.

I gave my mom a movie theatre gift card last year for Christmas, with the stipulation she and Dad use it at one of their fancier Alamo-style VIP theatres. She still hasn't used it, because "I haven't had time!" and "They only make comic book movies now, nothing for *normal* people!"

We've all had 20 years to learn this with navigating the "THEY ONLY MAKE MARVEL MOVIES NOW!!" (aka "There are exact 2-4 of those movies a year but it's the main thing I hear about on social media, where I live instead of touching grass") discourse ...but we haven't learned that, either 🤷♂️

It's the mirror version of the SnyderCut business: If your MAIN frame of reference for pop-culture is "Are people Tweeting?" you'd also mistake the DCEU movies for popular at that point. If you had grass to touch, you'd have known that out in the real world most people hated that sh-- and were done.
