#usculture — Public Fediverse posts

Why is this desirable or necessary? Are we fresh out of stories to tell? Are the “content creators” in Hollywood so desperate for eyeballs that they’ll vomit up any IP of the past, hoping to exploit nostalgia while delivering another boring ass retelling of a story that somehow evades everything anyone enjoyed about said story?

Overheard in Texas:

At a bus stop: "Hispanic? That's amazing, you don't look at all Hispanic!"

In a library: "So I told them, we're not like that, we're not white, we're Mexican."

I've lived in Texas for years, but I still find ethnicity here hard to understand.
