hey so i know video essays are getting popular and this website is Painfully White, and i wanted to use this as an opportunity to uplift one of my favorite video essayists, lil bill.

his most recent video ^ is about the wage gap and the wnba, actually debunking bullshit excuses with statistics. he’s also done some of my favorite videos on black history, such as the commodification of the hood and the very black history of punk rock. he’s also working on a project that gives kids in the neighborhood he grew up in backpacks and school supplies, so go give that some support if you can!
Okay so maybe I like the dumb lawyer game. Roll up to the fandom like “Whaddup, I’m 16 years late.”
The audio is from the PressButtons’n’Talk play through of the first Ace Attorney Game, featuring ProZD and Alex Mankin. I just wanted to build some Rigs for Ace Attorney.
guillermo del toro’s pinocchio is a beautiful film but my god no one has adapted that story like neverafter. you can never look at it the same way again after listening to lou wilson, a black man, explaining that he chose to play as pinocchio because it’s a story about a little boy who isn’t allowed to make mistakes. that in pinocchio's story, he is fundamentally barred from childhood at once upon a time. he must earn something that everyone else is granted from birth. the other boys get to tell lies and play and get into trouble, but when pinocchio does the same thing there are grave and violent consequences. his pinocchio is trying to understand why the world is so unfair, why the rules are so different for him, why everyone else gets to be a real boy.
