- Just saw OPPENHEIMER, an in-depth character exploration of the people who built the atomic bomb, a weapon of mass destruction that killed a quarter million Japanese civilians. Film is 3 hours long and features zero Japanese people.Readers added context they thought people might want to knowReaders added contextThe film ´´Oppenheimer ´´ is a biographical drama based entirely on the life of the physicist Robert Oppenheimer. There are no records of him ever meeting a Japanese person so it would not make sense to create such scene as the project is a biopic, not a work of fiction nme.com/news/film/chri… edition.cnn.com/2023/07/20/ent…
- 56% of domestic workers in Singapore are Filipino, 32% are Indonesian. Listen to how their employers talk about them.No one can call people out right to their faces quite like Anthony Bourdain.
00:00 - Incel is trending so a reminder: lots of people don’t have sex. and they somehow manage to not go on killing sprees of Asian women.
- Anti-Asian racism isn’t un-American—it’s quintessentially American. You can’t kill millions of Asians across the Pacific for a whole ass century in the name of America and then out of nowhere say that anti-Asian racism is un-American. That’s just lying.
- this makes me so angry. millions of hours of people cultivating connection and community and one man-child’s whims just destroyed it because of a mood swing he felt while vacationing on an island (that btw no individual person should own)Replying to @NickDiFabio1"I don't know why I did it. " "The judge basically said I have to buy Twitter or else, and now I’m like, okay.” Elon made the decision to buy the company outright while he was in a “manic mood” pulling an all-nighter on a visit to Larry Ellison’s Hawaiian island.
- Last week, i had my students respond anonymously to the prompt "Things You Wish Your Professors Knew." With their permission, paraphrasing the responses:
- “Siri, do Filipinos celebrate Christmas?” x.com/jiji_winkieboy…
- A 21-year-old white guy targeted, shot, and killed multiple Asian women in Atlanta. Never forget that lots of 21-year-old white guys did the same thing across the Pacific.
- Replying to @anthonyocampoI am not stupid. I understand the film & its takeaways. Panning into the world of science + (geo)politics & its (lack of) ethics was fascinating. It was brilliantly acted. Just couldn’t get over the erasure of the human beings most affected by the main focus of the film.
- a gentle reminder now that you’re seeing people you haven’t seen in a year: DON’T YOU FUCKING DARE COMMENT ON ANYBODY’S WEIGHT WHEN YOU SEE THEM. I can’t believe people are actually doing this.
- the SAT and GRE will not survive the pandemic and i’m OK with that
- Replying to @anthonyocampoquarantine is impacting my mental health and there are more assignments than ever | internships are cancelled | it's hard to get motivated | depression | life sucks and i don't want to do anything | i have to work, do grad, apps, and do the GRE while homeschooling kids | it's...
- Speaking of hate crimes against Asians, wait till ya hear what this country did to Asians in Asia.
