Ok. Regardless, I'd submit that's a ridiculously awful title and "Academy" is clearly much better. (Also, the story clearly describes an an institution called an Academy.)

Translation question: Why Little Witch Academia and not Little Witch Academy?
What did you two think of the Angie/Leanne rape subplot? I haven't seen much commenting about it.
I think Taystee takes over simply because she got organized faster. The Latina bloc was already divided, and it never really came together. That actually makes sense to me.
Wow - I don't think she played like an "angry black woman" - I think it was a rich and nuanced performance. I think Danielle Brooks deserves the Emmy. YMMV, I guess?
Given that she's already an inmate and she shot a guard who died, I think Daya could face life even if Maureen's actions were unveiled. The key to defending her would be to establish that Humps was in stable care and would have healed but for Maureen's actions. That might be tough to prove, though.
I've read a bit about prison riots and I'll say the fence thing doesn't bother me - they are so chaotic that it seems plausible to me that that was just missed.
Piper is fine now that she's no longer the "lead" of the show. Alex is another story - I'd be down for Kubra to take another shot at her.
I think Myles is approaching this season from a plot-focused view. As someone with a strong interest in prison policy, I think there's an alternative view - a prison riot story was NECESSARY to further explore what reform means. There was a LOT going on under the surface here, regardless of storytelling choices. I…
Somehow this season, Alex one-upped Piper in the "unrelatable quasi-lead" category. Her near constant sniping at Piper was once welcome, but in the riot she comes off as a petulant nihilist. It's exhausting. I genuinely can't see Alex's motivations this season. Can someone explain her to me?
Calm down. I was just making a joke. You should check out Joan Rivers, Maria Bamford, and Roseanne if you get a chance, though.
Man, I got sleepy just thinking about that.
Not a bad list. While I like and admire Burr, that's mighty high for him.
*Tim Allen shakes his fists in anger*
As an Asian-American, this was my first reaction. (TBH: I think it's okay to joke about this stuff - what next, is the Simpsons racist for having the Kwik-E-Mart staffed by an Indian? Immigrants have interesting, often highly specific business practices and it's not necessarily indulging in stereotypes to…
If only there was some way to watch televised programming at a later time!
YMMV, I guess. I was alive for his 90s run and disliked it all.
Lazy racists? Isn't that Trump's base?
"We need angry liberals" - yes. Given the pace of his work, and Twitter, I'm giving Maher many passes. He's annoying and schmucky, but the tirades make it worth it.
If you go back and watch old Dennis Miller, it's clear that he was never actually funny or thoughtful - Maher may have issues, but he's never going to get as crappy as Miller.
