Yes, the ban against interracial marriage was repealed in 2000 (though it was of course rendered unenforceable in 1967), but only about 60% of the Alabama electorate voted to repeal it. And just because it was repealed doesn’t mean that it was removed from the Alabama State Constitution, which because of its extremely…

As I read the interview, Ann Dowd didn’t actually say she had never seen Hitchcock’s Rebecca. The question was “You’re so much fun in this role, also memorably played by Florence Bates in Alfred Hitchcock’s 1940 adaptation. Did you feel inclined to revisit her work before production?” Dowd just responded that she…
What is most interesting about this is that it is straight from the book. When the Commander takes Offred (in the book her real name is never revealed) to the bordello Jezebel’s, the prostitutes there are in a cobbled-together variety of stereotypically and unimaginatively “sexy” outfits from the Time Before—a Playboy…
Not that this is the point, but that menu said “dash Tobasco” [sic] (as in Tabasco, the hot sauce), not tobacco. It doesn’t surprise me that people this ignorant also don’t know how to spell “Tabasco,” but you’d think if it is stocked at their bar they could just look on the bottle.
No, that’s a different Pulitzer. About once a decade a musical wins the Pulitzer Prize for Drama (for example, Hamilton in 2016; Next to Normal in 2010; Rent in 1996; Sunday in the Park with George in 1985; A Chorus Line in 1975; etc.). No musical has ever won the Pulitzer that Kendrick Lamar just won, the Pulitzer…
Interestingly, the historically Jewish sorority at the University of Alabama has long been racially and religiously inclusive and recently had a black president. But that sorority has also never been allowed in the Machine.
Lindsay is actually dating Spillers, who was the first black candidate to be elected SGA president at the University,
Though “ship” is probably an insensitive word to use in their particular situation.
I don’t have an HBO GO code, and yet I just watched the entire “Last Week Tonight” clip—since it was embedded in a post on a non-HBO website called Jezebel.com. It’s not completely nuts to think that it might also be posted somewhere she could see it in Europe. Even if that were not true, an HBO GO password is very…
They have cell phones.
For that matter, if eating (kosher) fish and dairy together were considered unkosher, how would the Jewish people have been able to give the world the lox-and-cream cheese bagel? And a woman who is so ultra-orthodox that she won’t even mix dairy with PAREVE foods would also be unlikely to have an office job outside…
I love a tuna melt! Bu something doesn’t make sense about the tuna sub story: why does it matter that it was being ordered for a Jewish person who was keeping kosher? It is totally crazy that the restaurant didn’t want to leave the cheese off, no matter what the reason. And maybe the person for whom the tuna sandwich…

The Chicago Manual of Style, 16th Edition:
It is a still from the 2003 movie Thirteen; the people pictured are the movie’s lead actors, Evan Rachel Wood and Nikki Reed. Reed also cowrote the movie.
who is having sex in the 6th grade?
Let’s recall that Schindler’s List had a plot line about a Nazi commander falling, uh, “in love” with his Jewish maid.
Except that if you are a gun-owner, you are MUCH more likely to get shot in your own home, probably with your own gun, than at a movie theater.
The same link that I posted downthread suggests that she deliberately avoided sex with anyone throughout her teens specifically so that she would be an excellent candidate to marry Charles, on whom she’d long had a crush (http://lisawallerrogers.com/tag/princess-d…). And then her social position, youth, and naivete…
No, by all accounts, Diana was a huge fan of Barbara Cartland’s romance novels. In this photo (http://lisawallerrogers.com/tag/princess-d…) she is at home, curled up on the couch, reading one Cartland and surrounded by others.
