…in that good way! — An expression used by the character William Knifeman in the ground breaking series Reservation Dogs.
This series was to First Nation Native Americans in the 2020’s what Roots was to Black Americans in The 1970’s in terms of stellar prime time representation of a major ethnic cast with a positive representation of cultural love; and cultural self-awareness,
A sprit, William Knifeman would appear riding a horse. He is a trickster figure who asks more questions then offering answers; and, he is inevitably at turns both hilarious and heartbreaking.
He once blessed a Sonic tater tot by asking it to protect and nourish the body of the character that was eating it and to help with cholesterol …in that good way.
A most infectious saying!!!!!
This series is perfect for a Sankofa viewing and is best watched in a circle. One you finish all four seasons of Reservation Dogs, immediately watch it again as though you were reading Finnigans Wake.
The story of a people never ends, it continues in a cycle…in that good way.
And representation matters!
Mvto!!!!!

You can’t hold in your joy or your pain. You have to offer them both into the circle of your people — all of your relations…in that good way! Then the circle can never be broken. Aho!

I think we can rule out a… — an endlessly productive word formula designed to explain the gravity of a situation through a poetically oppositional comparison.
How to use “ I think we can rule out a…” as a word formula:
1) Undercover surveillance team observing a cross burning at a Neo-Nazi rally on the February 24 and 25th 2023 day of Hatred:
Well, I guess we can rule out this as being a Bar Mitzvah.
2) A hotel worker in New Orleans brings towels to the orgy room at a swingers convention:
Well, I think we can rule out finding Gandhi in that room.
3) A pork barbecue food truck vendor dives by a park were a vegan gathering of THE RAINBOW TRIBE is being held:
I think we can rule out finding anyone in that park who wants a good carne asada.

All I have in this world is my name and my balls. — A translation from the Cuban Spanish saying : “Todo lo que tengo en este mundo es mi nombre y mis juevos.” This is a statement of ambition and a desire for “THE COME UP” — meaning an ascension in status and power. It’s the oppositional statement to “Started from the bottom and we’re here; started from the bottom now the whole teams’s here” — which is a statement of a successful “come up”
All I have in this world is my name and my balls entered common parlance through the movie Scarface and is one of its most oft quoted lines. It’s amazing that as of 2023 C.E. this famous sentence has not been entered into the Urban Dictionary. Well, all I have in this world is my name, my balls, and my ability to write. And it is in that spirit — the spirit of THE COME UP — that I submit this definition.

The Three C’s - The Three C’s are: clicks, clout, and cash.
Currently HATE sells better than SEX in America. Although the combination of HATE and SEX really sells.
Find a small group of people that can’t easily defend themselves; make them a scape goat in the 21st century American culture wars; attack them in as many arenas as possible; and, then solicit funds for your cause in every imaginable arena possible.
The HATE will get you “clicks” on your website; the CLICKS will get you “clout”and elevate your hatred in the arena of public discourse and social mediums; and, the CLOUT will earn you “cash” for your progrom.
Use the cash to by judges — especially in Supreme Courts — power, influence and friends in high places.
What could possibly go wrong?
This is how, for example, a few parents can ban thousands of books that they, surely, haven’t read.
And they don’t want anyone to read them. Why expand your mind and think? There are many people willing to tell you exactly what is right.
God help us all.
Every time we have lived a “movie” like this; the ending inevitably includes mass casualty events.
Maybe we should all read All of the books on every banned book list so we can learn exactly what they don’t want us to know.

You Come at the King, You Best Not Miss! — The is one of the most famous lines from the George Pellicanos / David Simon series The Wire. Originally spoken by Street King and “drug dealer robber” Omar Little to the drug gang hit man Roland “Wee-Bey” Brice after Brice unsuccessfully tries to collect the bounty on Omar’s head in an ambush.
After the Brice is wounded and his crew is killed, Omar leaves Wee-Bey conspicuously alive uttering the famous words:
“Yo Bey, the lesson here is: You Come at the King, You Best Not Miss!”
Amazingly years after The Wire series ran, this line is now being quoted verbatim by the American News Media in the general direction of lawmakers attempting to bring Donald J. Trump to justice.
I don’t know which is more paradoxical: hearing a White woman say this while affecting a Baltimore Black-cent; or, that this warning is being given to lawmakers about a former president of the United States.
Wow…now, y’all got the briefcase AND the gun.

I want to see Trump brought to justice and treated exactly like both Reality Winner and Jack Teixeira. But, words of wisdom to the Justice Department: You Come at the King, You Best Not Miss!

an on going situation — a masterful piece of urban understatement. To say that you have “an ongoing situation” is saying that the shit has hit the fan and there is neither an end to the shit in sight; nor, any sign of the fan failing to rotate.
The health department has to close the rid shack down until further notice. The vermin problem had become an on going situation.

Newjazz is a “nom de guerre” or sobriquet for a man or woman on a mission in a place they shouldn’t be attending; doing things that they shouldn’t be doing.
A cultural guide or insider gets you in and introduces you as “Newjazz” to protect your identity; and, to allow you to move more freely and safely while partaking of forbidden delights.
It is generally understood that a person baring the name “Newjazz” is a first time attendee AND his or her hesitancy and/or awkwardness should be forgiven until they relax and become more comfortable in the surroundings.
However, the price of this indulgence is some type of social initiation to formalize your relationship to the community in which you are a guest. This can take the form of a public performance based on “venue activity” or the intake of powerful substances that could potentially BLOW YOUR MIND.
This term is made popular by season 3 episode 8 of Atlanta named — not surprisingly — New Jazz.
