The Piano Lesson Explores Generational Legacy and Trauma Amidst Quality Performances
It is a tad ironic that a movie about family is also a family affair behind the scenes. The Piano Lesson is directed by the son of Denzel Washington, Malcolm Washington in his feature length debut.…

Despite a wild tonal shift during the third act climax, #ThePianoLesson is a quality drama about generational legacy and trauma that fairly weighs sentimentality versus progress. Danielle Deadwyler shines, but John David Washington keeps up. cinemababel.com/the-piano-le...

Bernie is a non legislating legislature. He's never built relationships with his peers, which means he's never had any intention of getting anything done. He could be something other than a US Senator, a populist activist maybe, but he wants to do nothing. He is a charlatan at best. An opp at worst.

While watching #BlackBag, I was reminded of the legendary Thin Man franchise, with George and Kathryn as a modern, sleek spy version of Nick and Nora Charles. It made for a fun third act with a mystery payoff and a dynamic I’d love to see more of. cinemababel.com/black-bag-is...
Black Bag is Sleek and Streamlined Mystery Goodness
The Thin Man was a highly successful comedic mystery series that spanned movies, radio, television and the theater from the 1930s through the 1990s. The characters Nick and Nora Charles, first port…

#MagazineDreams was set to cement Jonathan Majors as an A-list star and Oscar nominee until fate changed that. The tale of a young man’s struggle for self worth and connection is finally here, it’s extra topical now, and maybe Majors telling it is fitting. cinemababel.com/magazine-dre...

30 years ago, we did. They were called "local newspapers."
Then the Telecom Act of 1996 allowed essentially unlimited corporate consolidation of media outlets and they killed off local news in the space of a single generation.

Imagine if we had a newsroom in every county that focused on municipal meetings.
I don’t know who needs to hear this, but if you’re thinking of starting a newsroom in your community, you should do it.

A lot of leftwing policies lost support because they were actually tried and they failed pretty bad. Like sorry, but being permissive on crime just straight up did not work. Retooling public education to be more "equitable" has largely been at the expense of the kids.

The ugly truth is that Conservative Christians are increasingly no longer Christian. They reject the basic foundations of the faith, while worshipping a Big Mac-eating golden calf who preaches a vile testament of hatred and bigotry.

![In an interview with NPR, Evangelical Christian leader Russell Moore said that multiple pastors had told him disturbing stories about their congregants being upset when they read from the " Sermon on the Mount" in which Jesus espoused the principles of forgiveness and mercy that are central to Christian doctrine.
"Multiple pastors tell me, essentially, the same story about quoting Jesus in the Sermon on the Mount - [and] to have someone come up after to say, 'Where did you get those liberal talking points?"
Moore added: "And what was alarming to me is that in most of these scenarios, when the pastor would say, I'm literally quoting Jesus Christ, the response would be, 'Yes, but that doesn't work anymore. That's weak."](https://cdn.bsky.app/img/feed_thumbnail/plain/did:plc:ja5soujdv5a735xhr3cmohdv/bafkreibnq3a7jourd7s5wnys5regjdcaqujtupavmoqxn4mmliggt6bq7y@jpeg)

Does anyone else remember when a leftist on Twitter urged like-minded people to join the gym and he got a ton of "that's pretty ableist!" replies?
I probably joke too much about people who post "ableism" and "sanism" when reacting to posts but that was why.

I think it is because us Millennials had our Grandparents in the picture compared to Gen Z. I am talking about black Grandparents born in the 40s or earlier. They were a critical link to the old ways of doing things.
I think Gen Z might be the first generation to be truly disconnected from the old Black cultural experience (unless they were raised right). These kids don’t know Black classic films, tv, music, imagery, nothing.
