I've literally never seen the phrase "gentrifying cannibalism" before.

All sorrows can be borne if you put them into a story. Tell me a story.

LOL, Atropa.

The people on twitter needing to be extra by posting all their Hamilton criticism is @@.

Coming at LMM for selling to Disney, for "glorifying" slave owners, for "exploiting" POC by having them play and glorify the slave owners.

Then even saw someone coming after his Dad, saying as a property owner he profited off PR stuff related to hurricane relief. I don't even know. Some people are miserable people.

Woe to the fucking wicked.

It's so frustrating because there are legit conversations to be had, and that's not how to have them. Nuance, as it turns out, is a thing. (I mean, the "exploiting" thing is just dumb, and a whole other kettle of fish)

There's a Time interview with Daveed about Jefferson, and I'd love to see extended versions of that, as well as with Chris Jackson about Washington. They're smart guys and lived with the complication for a long time, and I'm sure they have things to say, even if they're not exactly the things people want to hear.

"...and then Legolas and the Hulk destroy the entire Greek army." - Penny Arcade

The "Hamilton's America" doc on PBS had a section where Chris Jackson talked about the contradiction of this heroic character he played, who also owned people like him. It showed him visiting the slave quarters on exhibit at Mt Vernon, and admitting he couldn't really reconcile the two sides.

Also, all the Hamilton talk has me me hear Jefferson singing the thread title everytime I read it.

Yes the people are being simplistic and more than a few of them think it makes them look edgy and/or smart. I think also some are doing it in hopes of clicks and followers. just ridic.

"There are few hours in life more agreeable than the hour dedicated to the ceremony known as afternoon tea."

I'm a bad mom who let ltc watch Hamilton with us. She was mostly ignoring the action on the screen and dancing around to the music, until the end with the final duel and she realized Hamilton died Then she burst into tears and had to be consoled.
