You made better time than us! That’s not too surprising. My high school was not strong, academically (it has like a C- grade so it’s not abysmal but it’s not good), but standardized testing in NY is very robust, so we were always doing these stupid practice tests and learning modules for the Regents Exams. I don’t…

because we were always so behind that we consistently ran out of time each year

I think the reason that the holocaust was covered so successfully in middle school (except for the hopeless students who couldn’t be made to pay attention) is that in Catholic school our teachers did not shy away from showing us horrendous images of the concentration camps, mass graves, etc. Even though we were…

Again, it’s not that they don’t intend to, it’s that we ran out of time in our curriculum every year. It’s in the textbooks. (I grew up in New York, the student is from Massachusetts but it’s a private school so common core does not apply.) I also want to emphasize that students don’t pay attention. I still remember…

Pffft....Eisenhower? One of them pussy generals. Antifa thug.

Where is it that they don’t teach this in school? I went to grad school for secondary education in social studies, it’s part of common core. I doubt the average person can just rattle off that 6 million Jews were murdered but they definitely know it happened and that millions died, right? 

“The things I saw beggar description… The visual evidence and the verbal testimony of starvation, cruelty and bestiality were so overpowering… I made the visit deliberately, in order to be in a position to give first hand evidence of these things if ever, in the future, there develops a tendency to charge these…

I do think that the “prestige” label is inextricably linked with self-seriousness. A really good show with a sense of fun and self-deprecation is a lot less likely to be thought of as prestige than something serious, melodramatic, and steeped in misery, because those traits are linked in people’s brains with their…

That’s a tricky one. “Justified” is . . . I wouldn’t call it prestige-lite or anything, but it’s very true to the spirit of Leonard’s writing, which I love but wouldn’t consider to be great literature. At the same time, it was for nearly its entire run also one of the finest shows on television.

Yes, now we can and should start focusing on the Wolverine/Storm/Nightcrawler love triangle because it honestly is 100% time better than Scottt or Jean.

Fox people, Fox Men.

XCU was Fox. As was F4. Both are back at Marvel.

Oh I compared myself to Kitty cause my response was just as immature and selfish. I was just that deep into it and roughly the same age as Kitty at the time :) Once I got used to it I was all in.

If you watch carefully in the black panthers there is a storm mural in Shuri’s lab

Angela Bassett or Regina King.

“It’s not a brand. It’s not an advertising gimmick. It doesn’t drive ratings.”

The level-headed among us realize you of course weren’t equating Ellen’s misdeeds with those of a pedophile or a rapist. :) Some folks just need to grandstand for a few stars.

Isn’t it great how you’re supposed to be eternally grateful to your employer for deigning to grace you with a probably shitty job but they’ll dump you in 2 seconds if it improves their bottom line? 

<Every signatory to this list is a has been.>

Yep. Fuck em. This is exactly the motivation behind signing on to a letter like this— they’re clawing their way to try and remain relevant for who they once were, for what they‘ve always believed, resting entirely on some prior perceived trustworthiness... rather than just taking a moment to listen, reflect and learn…
