The Color of Law: A Forgotten History of How Our Government Segregated America

By Richard Rothstein.

[rye-views]

Bates Motel (1987) dir. Richard Rothstein. 7.4/10

I would not recommend this movie to my friends. I would not rewatch this movie.

Bud Cort acted great. I think it's fun to be able to see the set design of all this. Alex is such an earnest person, I love it. I enjoyed the beginning and ending dialogue. I think I like parts of the movie, but overall it doesn't seem that cohesive or necessary.

Such short, meaningful interactions. Why are we feeling so much? Willie is a wild card. I couldn't have someone like her in my life.

Taking off the mask was very scooby doo.

I want to know more about the relationship between Norman and Alex.

Omg Willie is Lolly from oitnb.

Made these absolutely shit BE/Barbie things on my phone and never posted them, so I guess I will now. Pt. 1 | Pt. 2

[ghastlyfilters]

this is literally canon (yes i rewatched scream)

ghostface who makes the calls: al, arnold, meyer

ghostface who does the killing: charlie, jimmy, richard

[tooni-the-demon-gal]

drew a bunch of boardwalk empire characters bc somehow i've only been able to draw al and charlie consistently despite being hyperfixated on the show for at least a year. i still have room on the page so i'll probably draw ralph n frank later. i'm also open to recommendations so if there's a character you want drawn hit me up. i'm planning on drawing a bunch of kaiju next so stay turned for that too.

I watched seasons 1-3 of boardwalk empire at such a pace that I was somehow unable to make notes for tumblr. this is always a good sign since it means I loved it, but I also usually want to comment on it. I'm definitely planning on doing that with season 4.

generally speaking though, I went on an emotional rollercoaster with this show. it feels like a less artsy (but still well made), less depressing (at least season 1) and a little more action fueled version of peaky blinders. even though boardwalk empire was first of course. I'm always surprised at how much I like gangster tv shows though?

character-wise I weirdly liked nucky the most at first bc he seemed like a decent guy who is just protecting those around him through some illegal schemes, but now… he got a lot more violent in season 3 and he acts like an asshole 90% of the time. I also loved his and margaret's (for some reason the name doesn't fit her at all imo, I've never felt that about a character before) romance at the beginning, even though the power dynamic was a little problematic from the get go. but I think after this season they make a better, bc more equal, match than earlier when they were still nice to one another bc they are both resentful and somewhat power hungry (even if margaret does it on a much smaller scale). maybe they'll find back together?

but my favorite character for sure is richard harrow. at first I thought he was too much of a sidekick, but then he finally got more depth. and even though he is literally a killer, he is probably the most decent person in this show. and we love to see him happy :)

I also started to like eli and van alden (!) this season. (maybe also bc van alden is very autistic coded.) rothstein and meyer lansky I kind of liked from the start. oh and a.r. and lucky luciano are lovers, you can't tell me otherwise.

ok that's it for now. I'm pretty excited about what's to come, even though some of the plot choices were a bit questionable (end of season 2 especially) and per usual, I spoilered myself a lot, so I already know which of my favorites will die…

Please watch this video. It's about racist urban planning in the United States, but many of the things described happened in Canada too. (example, example, example, example)

And I'd like any white person who has ever reminisced about a time when they could've been able to afford a home to watch this. Because you could buy a home, but could Black people? Could the rest of us?

Segregation was not just a policy of apartheid (although it absolutely was that). Segregation is built into the designs of our cities and communities, these same cities and communities we live in today.

Watch the video. And especially if you're white, watch the fucking video.

Following a highly successful collaboration on Hulu’s Pam & Tommy, Sebastian Stan and Lily James are set to reteam on Let the Evil Go West, a psychological horror thriller from director Christian Tafdrup (Speak No Evil).

north.five.six. reps the film’s international rights and will introduce it to buyers at Cannes, while CAA Media Finance and UTA Independent Film Group arranged the financing and will handle the domestic sale.

Let the Evil Go West follows a railroad worker who stumbles upon a fortune under deeply disturbing circumstances. As horrifying visions and manifestations drive him toward madness, his wife becomes convinced that an evil presence has attached itself to their family.

Xc Vs penned the script. Tim and Trevor White (King Richard, Fair Play) are producing under their Star Thrower Entertainment banner, alongside Mark Fasano and Nathan Klingher for Gramercy Park Media, which is also financing the film, and Allan Mandelbaum. Stan and James will also executive produce along with Gramercy Park’s Joshua Harris and Ford Corbett and north.five.six.’s Michael Rothstein and Samuel Hall.

Playing Tommy Lee to James’s Pamela Anderson in Hulu’s award winner Pam & Tommy, Stan will next be seen starring in A Different Man, which won him Berlin’s Silver Bear after world premiering to much buzz at Sundance 2024. A24 will release the pic in September. Also coming up for the actor is Ali Abbassi’s The Apprentice, an anticipated title that has him playing a young Donald Trump, which will premiere in competition at the 2024 Cannes Film Festival.

Richard Rothstein is a Distinguished Fellow of the Economic Policy Institute, a Senior Fellow (emeritus) at the Thurgood Marshall Institute of the NAACP Legal Defense Fund, and a graduate of Harvard University. ABOUT THE BOOK “The Color of Law: A Forgotten History of How Our Government Segregated America" by Richard Rothstein explodes the myth of de facto segregation arising from private prejudice or the unintended consequences of economic forces. The book explains the truth about how the American government systematically imposed residential segregation: with undisguised racial zoning; public housing that purposefully segregated previously mixed communities; subsidies for builders to create whites-only suburbs; tax exemptions for institutions that enforced segregation; and support for violent resistance to African-Americans in white neighbourhoods.

As my favorite member of batman's rogues gallery, I've put a lot of thought into how I would portray Penguin. I wanted to create a balanced representation of the character, incorporating aspects of his classic gentleman of crime iteration, his modern gritty gangster characteristics, and even small pieces of Tim Burton's off the wall concept of an animalistic, deformed misfit. I took a lot of inspiration from other sources too of course, most notably William Shakespeare's Richard III and Edgar Allen Poe's Hop-Frog, both of which are about scorned deformed characters who plot the vicious murders of their superiors while hiding under a meek veneer. Other sources of inspiration were Rico "Ratso" Rizzo from Midnight Cowboy, Frank Reynolds from It's Always Sunny in Philadelphia, Mr. Potter from It's a Wonderful Life, Ratigan from The Great Mouse Detective, and some of gangsters populating the show Boardwalk Empire such as Nucky Thompson, Al Capone and Arnold Rothstein. One notable change I made to his general design was that I opted to give him a miscolored glass eye rather than a monocle, which I thought was a little too heavily leaning towards his golden age incarnation in specific. Also worth mentioning is I thought it would be cool for him to lean into his animal theme by having a sort of "zoo" of different animal skeletons displayed in his home's parlor.

The Museum of Jurassic Technology at 9341 Venice Boulevard in the Palms district of Los Angeles, California, was founded by David Hildebrand Wilson and Diana Drake Wilson in 1988.[1][2] It calls itself "an educational institution dedicated to the advancement of knowledge and the public appreciation of the Lower Jurassic",[3] the relevance of the term "Lower Jurassic" to the museum's collections being left uncertain and unexplained.[4]Museum of Jurassic Technology, 9341 Venice Boulevard, Los Angeles, served by the Culver City, California, post officeRotten Luck: Decaying Dice of Ricky JayFairly Safely Venture: String Figures and their Venerable Collectors

The museum's collection includes a mixture of artistic, scientific, ethnographic, and historic items, as well as some unclassifiable exhibits; the diversity evokes the cabinets of curiosities that were the 16th-century predecessors of modern natural-history museums. The factual claims of many of the museum's exhibits strain credibility, provoking an array of interpretations.

The museum contains an unusual collection of exhibits and objects with varying and uncertain degrees of authenticity. The New York Times critic Edward Rothstein described it as a "museum about museums", "where the persistent question is: what kind of place is this?"[4] Smithsonian magazine called it "a witty, self-conscious homage to private museums of yore . . . when natural history was only barely charted by science, and museums were closer to Renaissance cabinets of curiosity."[2] In a similar vein, The Economist said the museum "captures a time chronicled in Richard Holmes's recent book The Age of Wonder, when science mingled with poetry in its pursuit of answers to life's mysterious questions."[7]

Lawrence Weschler's 1995 book, Mr. Wilson's Cabinet of Wonder: Pronged Ants, Horned Humans, Mice on Toast, And Other Marvels of Jurassic Technology, attempts to explain the mystery of the Museum of Jurassic Technology. Weschler deeply explores the museum through conversations with its founder, David Wilson, and through outside research on several exhibitions. His investigations into the history of certain exhibits led to varying results of authenticity; some exhibits seem to have been created by Wilson's imagination while other exhibits might be suitable for display in a natural history museum. The Museum of Jurassic Technology at its heart, according to Wilson, is "a museum interested in presenting phenomena that other natural history museums are unwilling to present."[8]

The museum's introductory slideshow recounts that "In its original sense, the term, 'museum' meant 'a spot dedicated to the Muses, a place where man's mind could attain a mood of aloofness above everyday affairs'". In this spirit, the dimly lit atmosphere, wood and glass vitrines, and labyrinthine floorplan lead visitors through an eclectic range of exhibits on art, natural history, history of science, philosophy, and anthropology, with a special focus on the history of museums and the variety of paths to knowledge. The museum attracts approximately 25,000 visitors per year.[9]

fuck this is awesome? is it possible this is the coolest museum in LA? or am i just high. does this suck?
