heroes and villains

Heroes and Villains throughout history that have defined their industries and workflow as we know it today. Those we look up to, and those we learn mistakes from.

What's Your Background, Set?
What's your background, Set? A question I hear a lot whether it be in the literary world, investigative/ security sector or amongst my art community. Sometimes amongst long forgotten friends and acquaintances. Though in those instances, it's mostly intended to mean about my ethnicity. By which I reply with exasperation, "Black" because who has time to list out all the different types of black only to be mostly met with a hotep or self-hating reply. "So you're mixed. Wow, lucky." or "You're Arab." or my favourite, "Ethiopians are not black, they are Semites." I always find it amusing when folks will ask you your background only to impose their narrative on it. This article is not to set the record straight but rather an introduction on who I am and what my narrative is.

In God we Trust. We have to start this week’s update on conflicts around the world with South Africa taking Israel to court on charges of genocide. The Jews get some serious credit for taking on these allegations with their best lawyers. Even without a country like Germany intervening it’s difficult to imagine genocide being proven.

The Amazing Humans We Are
I was going through one of my Certifications that I was working on, and there was a quote that struck me. "In truth, much of this hand-wringing around the fragility of the human body is nonsense. We are highly adaptable, resilient creatures."

‘Ayalaan’ Tamil Movie Review:
Eight years since his debut film Indru Netru Naalai, director R Ravikumar’s strength remains the same; he revels in the light-hearted treatment of a heavy topic. But unlike his first film, which is worth visiting again thanks to some clever surprises wrapped in an engaging drama, it’s doubtful if the director’s sophomore film Ayalaan will endure the test of time, as it’s risk-free and consciously family-friendly.
