This Compton girl grew up to be one of the greatest champions and competitors in the history of sport, she bought a home in France and learned French, which she speaks in her interviews at the French Open at Roland Garros. The French fans adore her for this. She is interested and involved in fashion and art. She dates…

Am I the only one who’s inspired by just seeing her walk around or order fries with that or something? This lady. WOW. She is historic and majestic. She slays in her sleep.

This needs to be added to the “White people: do not ever say this to/about black people” list:

You know what ruined things from my childhood? That my favorite childhood books are racist as fuck, that Kirk Cameron grew up to be well himself, and that Bill Cosby is a rapist.

Exactly! And labels are notorious intellectual property thieves, for example: what Little Richard said about living in poverty until Michael Jackson returned the rights to his music to him. This isn’t about artists getting their due, if Lady Gaga and Taylor Swift think that that’s their own misinformed ego speaking.…

Exactly. And I think we should sit all high schoolers down at some point before they graduate and remind them that, yes, you can be fired from a job for making racist/sexist/homophobic/asshole/ignorant comments on social media. I’m an attorney, and I’m still amazed at how many of my peers post inflammatory shit on…

Road to Avonlea was half-funded by Disney, and the moneymen came down hard on Polley to try and mold her into one of their Standardized Disney Starlets (tm). Whereupon Polley told them to fuck right on off, weaseled her way out of her contract, and made a beeline for independent film.

A lot of the issues have been the ease of being able to steal/make unauthorized copies of digital content. Thirty years ago, if you wanted to make a copy of an album and give it to a friend, it would be a recording that would take as long to record as it did to play the album and there would be quality deficits (in…

She doesn’t like talking about Avonlea?? I loved that show, my dad would watch it with me on Sunday nights!!

My main issue with this is that this is not about paying artists what they’re worth (for which I am very much in favor). This is about changing the nature and purpose of rights laws to better support large corporations in the changing landscape of the internet.

This is AWESOME! Obviously, Atwood is incredible. And Sarah Polley has been killing it since she was just a little fresh-faced sunflower.

I came looking for Duck Tales, Tale Spin, Gummi Bears, Darkwing Duck, Looney Tunes, The Flintstones, Transformers, Magic School Bus, The Raccoons, and Teenage Mutant Ninja Turtles.

No Hanna-Barbera...

Thank goodness I am not the only Old here that remembers The Bugs Bunny Road Runner show, Scooby-doo, and everything I grew up with in the 70's and 80's. And I still love Schoolhouse Rock to this day! As well as the original Electric Company on PBS.

I personally was more of a Pee-Wee’s Playhouse girl. I could be anywhere and I would come running as soon as I heard the theme song start. Which I later learned Cyndi Lauper sung.

MY CHILDHOOD.

Let’s be real: American legislators got rid of Schoolhouse Rock because they didn’t want today’s kids to know about civics. Knowledge is power.

Ghostwriter was THE BEST! I was a total PBS kid. Carmen Sandiego, Zoom!, Ghostwriter...

Ghostwriter! Yessss.

Has an Oscar, would have possibly been a bigger draw because, uh duh, she’d do her own singing
