I loved that show. Bateman was especially precocious in that show...not something I usually liked in a character, but I still liked him. Anyway...thanks for bringing that show up.

No, do not reevaluate your life. Having working knowledge and memory about Jason Bateman’s career hurts no one. I, too, loved him on Silver Spoons, The Hogan Family, Arrested Development and just about everything else he’s been in. Now that I am being forced to think about this, he’s probably been a low key crush of…

Evil is a helluva drug. Apparently, it will keep you alive, but makes you look like microwaved death in return (e.g. Trump, Bannon, Steven Miller,Kellyanne Conway, this Nunberg guy, Hope “Hopey” Hicks, etc.).  

I agree with the comments below. This is really about encouraging and continuing the cycle of poverty for those people they need for cheap labor. Also, notice that the cost of daycare KEEPS rising. Where I live, putting an infant in a respectable daycare will run around $1400-1700 a month! As much as I love my…

This all day! That was one of my first thoughts, as well. “Cracker” seems to have been mildly popular in the 1970s (thanks to George Jefferson). Even then it seems to have been more of a joke than a slur with any impact. In 2018, I don’t think the black people in this kid’s orbit would pull out the word “cracker” to…

The white nonsense is pathetic. Black people aren’t going to beat white people up for paying money to see a movie with an all black cast. Sheeeeeeeit...throw your dollars at Marvel so we can get Black Panther 2, sooner than later.

I’m intrigued by the fantasy of the white ethno-state. Seriously, for a large part of history, white people lived in relative isolation, no? During those times, didn’t they find reasons to hate each other, fight, and destroy each other’s land? When all of the PoCs are gone, won’t the whites find new ways to divide…

Yep. America has a white identity extremist problem. These people are absolutely terrorists on par with any other terrorist organization. POTUS is a member, just doesn’t carry a card. The floodgates of hell have opened with this administration. It’s a Pandora’s box of the worst hate among us. If we don’t get back to…

Isn’t acceptance of Latinx (and “others”) part of the “4th enlargement” of whiteness?

I know. It’s fascinatingly scary. Thanks for breaking it down.

I’m going to go with the opinion that this is more slavery like than not. The immigrant in this case is being purchased in installments and the payment isn’t guaranteed to be consistent or be actual “money”. I’m pretty sure the payment arrangement would soon devolve into “your room and board is your payment”. The…

All good points. This really is the age of spin. How anybody being hurt by these policies created, supported and enacted by Republicans can then blame Democrats for their hardship is cognitive dissonance (or willful ignorance) at it’s best.

Other questions...from where are poor people supposed to pick up this box of crap food and how are they supposed to transport it? I seriously ask, because if the pick-up is at some “central” distribution center, then recipients may just abandon the pick-up all together due to hardship of getting there. Then the…

Yaaaaassss. Or, half-time show marching bands.

I can see this. I had a manager state that I was aloof, meanwhile my co-worker let this manager have free reign over all the details of her life. That manager would then reference the things she had been told by this co-worker. I’ve always had the philosophy that I won’t let people know things about me unless I’m…

Thanks Maiysha for highlighting this story. What an awesome teacher. Given all the crap-tacular reports on recent teacher behavior this is a welcome story to hear. I know that if my teacher had done this for me when I was that little girl’s age I would have fallen in love with her and STILL be telling the story of…

THIS. ALL OF THIS. I still don’t understand the willful disconnect between believing a fetus has more rights than sentient, breathing, humans (and some animals). Shouldn’t “pro-life” actually mean “pro-life”. Seriously, being born is the beginning of a whole new level of needing support in every possible way. I would…

Yep...it doesn’t even roll off the tongue as a “nickname”. This whole thing is stupid, uncreative, low-brow trolling. Seriously, in 2018 (even under dolt45's “leadership”) these a-holes can’t work around someone of color without going out of their way to dig in the racist crate for the dumbest tropes they could find?…

I honestly think that Trump’s team has briefed him on the Marvel Cinema lexicon. However, he has the attention span of a gnat and the memory of a person with dementia. So...if he ever gives a real press conference, there is hope that he will make up some embarrassing answer (lie) in response to these Wakanda and…

Side note: I once had a co-worker whose first name started with T. and last name was “Watts”. Our names were abbreviated to first initial/last name on our national conference roster. So, she was “T. Watts”. One day our very well meaning and lovely event coordinator decided to give her the nickname of “Twatts”. We had…
