With better luck, choices, or posture, Josh Corman could’ve been a star. Now he teaches fifth grade, and struggles to find happiness and meaning in a world that sometimes feels short on both. Joseph Gordon-Levitt stars in Mr. Corman. Watch on Apple TV+.
For her first hourlong stand-up special, comedian/actress/producer Aida Rodriguez takes the stage in the Bronx to tackle the issues of the day – not just because they’re ripped from the headlines, but because they’re in the pages of her personal life story. With her grounded and unapologetic point of view,
Rodriguez gets candid about being worn out from political comedy, embracing both sides of her heritage, getting back into the dating game, and so much more. A hilarious, no-holds-barred exploration of identity and family, the special concludes with a documentary of Aida’s travels to Puerto Rico and the Dominican Republic – a celebration of these vibrant cultures as cameras capture Rodriguez reuniting with her estranged father and paying it forward for up-and-coming comedians.
This one touched a nerve 🤣

DID YOU KNOW the characters in @Netflix’s western revenge tale #TheHarderTheyFall were based on actual figures from the old west? 🤠 👆 Check out this original art by Tumblr Creatr Nyanza D. based on the IRL Rufus Buck! Rufus Buck, the son of a Black woman and a Muscogee (Creek Indian) man, wasted no time jumping into his vocation as an outlaw. He was just 18 when he led his five-person gang of young Black and Indigenous gunslingers on a 13-day violent crime spree. His goal was to trigger an uprising and reclaim the parts of Indian Territory that later became Oklahoma and Arkansas for the native people who had lived there for centuries. Ultimately unsuccessful and arrested for his crimes on 1895, the young outlaw was hanged a year later at Fort Smith in Arkansas. (1877–1896) 🎥 Watch The Harder They Fall, playing in select theaters on October 22 and on Netflix globally on November 3.
A very sad anniversary today. Progress is being made but the cost is too high. ✊🏾
When Derek Chauvin was found guilty on all three charges surrounding his murder of George Floyd, the conversation found on Tumblr (and elsewhere online) reflected two major points:
This is not justice being served. There is no justice in the face of murder, and if there were, it certainly would not be found within the American carceral system. The verdict stemming from this trial will not stop the violence and oppression Black people face at the hands of an over-policed country.
“Black people don’t need reminders that Chauvin’s guilty verdict doesn’t mean the fight is over. It’s okay to celebrate small victories.”
These truths are not at odds with each other. They can, and will, co-exist.
Take a moment today to celebrate George Floyd and his beautiful family. Keep his little daughter in your mind and hearts. If you want to feel a bit of relief that at least one person was found guilty for their hateful, heinous crime—please do so. And then remember that it was just one person. Remember that if you are an ally and an accomplice, you must not stop learning. You must not stop fighting for real justice.
Accountability for police killings is rare:
Since 2005, 140 law enforcement officers have been arrested for on-duty manslaughter and murder. Only 8—5%—have been convicted.
And that doesn’t account for the 98% of police killings where there were no arrests for murder or manslaughter.
Black people are three times more likely to be killed by police
And then yesterday, roughly one hour after Nancy Pelosi thanked George Floyd for “sacrificing” his “life for justice,” police in Columbus, Ohio shot and killed 16-year-old Ma'Khia Bryant.
That is not what justice looks like.
Rest in power, George Floyd.
Rest in power, Ma’Khia Bryant.
This is some serious stan work
