Hmm . . . I was agreeing with the “Oscars are Local” comment. I have no idea how this was attached to you.
Sorry

Yes they are. There is a “foreign film” category that doesn’t include movies primarily in English. It’s ridiculous!

“if there is probable cause to believe a theft has occurred . . .” 

I am now deceased and I’m not even Mr. Tap Water adjacent!

Dead, I tell you, Dead!

Thank you SO much for the vocabulary to describe this infuriating argument.

While I’ll never have it as good as a white, cis, hetero, Christian man in America, I shouldn’t complain because Women can’t drive somewhere else?

Found the article! https://ew.com/article/2007/02/01/stephen-king-passion-phenomenon/ 

I never heard of such a thing. Who knew? I’m also not a Christian, so this is just seems like a wildly traumatic experience to dump on a child.

Stephen King used to write for Entertainment weekly on a regular basis. I’ll NEVER forget how he used all of his literary genius to tell the story of the bright little girl…

*Sigh* I had the biggest crush on Richard Grieco as a teen. My grandfather got me his autograph!

Oh for the love!!! If White Michelle Williams came up first in the search, nobody would be mis-tagging Black Michelle Williams!!

Do you hear yourself!!!

Did you see this???

It’s not an expense issue, it’s a revenue issue.

Why should Black women stop doing what they’ve always done just because a white woman wore it out? We’ve had too much of what brings us joy exploited to the point where we become memes. If you don’t like it, don’t watch it. Let folks get joy where they can find it.

It’s totally not my thing,but I’m not judging NOR am…

The way scoring works is that every element is afforded a degree of difficulty and you’re scored on your ability to do that element. When they changed the scoring system from the perfect 10, it opened the door to scoring to infinity. As far as I know, she’s never performed a perfect routine, i.e. one without…

hmm . . . I’m fairly confident that twerking came through the diaspora. 

Mental illness is a clinical diagnosis. It’s not a catch-all phrase to be thrown around to describe people who do things that are repugnant to us. Just because someone is a violent white supremacist doesn’t mean they’re mentally ill. Nearly all of the mass shooters who have survived to stand trial are found to be…

This is not about mental illness. Millions of people in the US have mental illnesses and don’t shoot people. 

“In the decades between the American Revolution and the Civil War, slavery—as a source of the cotton that fed Rhode Island’s mills, as a source of the wealth that filled New York’s banks, as a source of the markets that inspired Massachusetts manufacturers—proved indispensable to national economic development,” “……

I am also a transracial adoptee. I was adopted as an infant into a family that sounds very much like yours. My opinion on the matter is that children (me in particular) would much prefer ANY loving forever family over living in the foster system for our entire childhood. I discovered I felt this way when the whole…
