…… “Harry Potter and the Half-Blood Prince.” I’m torn over whether this is the best film of the six or just my personal favorite. I love that the film is completely about the characters.

……the fact that at least Black and Brown people have to prove their objectivity to biased white people for better jobs than, say, being a City Hall reporter. 🙂

……..Gatesgate. Well, I now know why Obama doesn’t risk sounding and acting like a Black man. The first time he does so, he has to pull a David Dinkins. And with the constant safety of himself and his family at sake (and those three points in Ohio and Pennsylvania he seems to be constantly worried about), I’m sure he wants to avoid what happened to New York City’s first Black mayor. White House Menu for this week: Beer, with cop-out nuts on the side. Real power has publicly exerted itself in America, and gave Black America a real teachable moment on that.

…..this new “Doctor Who” trailer. Of course it’s great. It’s a long wait. Ready for November. I’m really going to miss David Tennant. (Hope he’s happy in his new gig here for us in The States. I remember how extraordinary he was when he starred in a “Masterpiece” presentation.) Glad to see on youtube the (now-former?) “Doctor Who” team in its glory, at Comic-Con.

I thought this was a great idea. I once wrote about something like this.

…..what my friend Malik sent me. I’m glad to see stuff like this happening.
