They should probably recast the part and make Shuri the new Black Panther. Lashana Lynch could play this part in her sleep, and thanks to No Time to Die, her profile is right where it needs to be.

I think it is categorically a good thing whenever Lewinsky is able to profit from her undeserved public humiliation and (at least at one time,) infamy.

I’ve been to the theater twice since March 2020; both times between May and July of this year. It was a reserved seating theater (the kind with the huge seats,) and the theater was enforcing a one-seat separation between parties. And it was fine. I won’t go to the movies three or more times a month like I used to,…

I don’t disagree with anything that’s been said about the existence and harmfulness of colorism, but I very seriously doubt that “compliance” by Hollywood will ultimately manifest itself in a manner satisfying to those most aggrieved. What you’d want to happen is that they’d hire BIPOC casting directors who understand…

I don’t know why this has to be some conspiracy funded by conservative wing nuts. There are hundreds of millions of people in this country with all sorts of beliefs; some people think we didn’t land on the moon; some people think the Earth is flat; some people think HRC is a lizard person and that Democrats writ large…

Isn't the better question whether Chappelle would care? 

First off, thank you for taking the time to not only link to the order, but reading it, and basically briefing the thing.

Look, I’m saying your answer is wrong—in fact I said in my first response to you, “I don’t necessarily disagree with that ultimate conclusion.” And, I will also note that your response makes wayyyy more sense than what the article above says, (see above, “[t]he ruling made clear that Arbery’s medical privacy, even…

Arbery’s mental health is completely irrelevant.

You’re correct, but, let’s be fair here: he wants to say it because he thinks it’s funny and will get laughs. That said, his reputation and career success seem to point to the fact that, the overwhelmingly majority of the time, he’s right — or at least he’s right with regard to the people who go see his shows, and…

> Comedians have a responsibility to speak truth to power

Yeah I’m about ready to cancel his ass.

Our system, as it presently exists, is structured in such as way as to make third parties not really viable. If you want a nuanced political landscape with a wide variety of camps vying for and compromising to share power, but still get shit done, you’d need a parliamentary system. Which, p.s., would be awesome.

The ruling made clear that Arbery’s medical privacy, even though he is dead, is more important than the rights of the men . . . who are standing trial over his killing.

What is this “The Left” of which you speak that even cares about this person?

She seems pretty savvy to me. She doesn’t want to be part of the Right or conservatism, so she burned that bridge real good and with some flare (someone mentioned else here mentioned a particularly creative description of Jared Kushner.) And now she’s going to play the Left like a fiddle.

I suppose I’m glad she’s sincere about “Jewface”, considering;

I’d wager those kinds of sentiments probably track closely with how an individual feels about their Jewish-ness. I’ve met people whose Judaism was a deeply important part of their identity for many reasons, and identified as not only spiritually/religiously Jewish, but racially as well. I’ve also met people who would…

The overstatement of harm is all over the place and coming in from all ends here. With regard to this story in particular (Denzel v. Katie), no one needs or needed rescuing or to be caped for here—it doesn’t sound like Denzel did anything even remotely actionable, and while I can appreciate that Couric felt a…

I am Cuban-American, grew up in Miami in the 1980's. I can’t speak for literally every last person that shares my demography, and won’t claim to, but, I will tell you without hesitation that Scarface is a beloved film, at least among my age cohort (“geriatric millennials”.) I’m sure there are Cubans out there who take…
