I mean, I can get girls out of there shoes, but that’s just one of the perks of being Asian and inviting them into my home. 

I’m not ashamed to admit my remembering him in Wizards & Warriors and The Last Resort. And that Last Resort was one of my most favorite shows.

Jesus that crowdfunding thing depresses the fuck out of me. My friend, an ER nurse, died of a preventable infection because she couldn’t raise enough money online...not enough people saw it, her social circles weren’t big enough. Your life is a popularity contest in this country. Fuck all of this.

He was great. I remember him as Reverend Jim’s brother on Taxi, introducing himself to Alex as “The son who lived....”

Get outta here, Gene Shallit!

What makes Captain Marvel pro-military propaganda? I haven’t seen it since it was in theaters, but I thought there was some obvious ‘boys club’ sexism in the Air Force scenes, keeping Carol out of a combat role, etc. I might not be remembering that right, but I don’t recall it being very flattering towards the…

Jesus, two years later and I’m never going to stop feeling vicariously embarrassed by people calling Captain Marvel’s 90 seconds of air force content that’s entirely about how they’re a bunch of misogynist pricks ‘military propaganda’.

As is pointed out in the article, the MCU went with a different tone from The Dark Knight and was hugely successful.

FYI a Newsradio reference will always get a star from me.

I agree that they seem to be casting them older than I would expect given the era of the show, but I do think facially with the right hair and makeup, Nicole Kidman definitely looks more like Lucy did than Bardem looks like Desi Arnez.

I imagine the pitch went a lot like this.

I interpreted the “intelligence” as potentially signaling spycraft instead of, or in addition to, smarts.

Not sure what software you’re using but the name Ike comes up 15 times in the body of the article (perhaps you forgot to not count the letters’ usage in the word ‘like’ or are counting the words in the article overflow at the bottom of the page?) and 4 of those times are in naming the band (which makes it unavoidable).

An Air Force Colonel with 10 years in the service makes 8800 a month. He should at least be making that much as its obvious he’s still doing military work.
If he is instead working as a military contractor.. he’d make more.. so 8800 minimum.

It’s not racist to say the outbreak started in China (although that hasn’t been 100% established yet). It’s racist to scapegoat China as a way to avoid responsibility to the incredible number of ways we have mishandled the response. It’s also racist to stigmatize Asian people for the outbreak. It’s racist and…

You can definitely fault Trump and angry white men for some of this.

That last sentence is an interesting muddle of rhetorical flaws. One is called “hypothesis contrary to fact,” where you attempt to refute reality by inventing a counterfactual example. And in this situation it’s actually a false hypothesis contrary to fact, because human trafficking in North Dakota absolutely involves…

Misogyny is in the mix too, but there’s clearly a racist element to how he picked the kinds of business and kinds of women on which he’d focus his hate. This idea that asian women go hand in hand with sex work, so their race was pure coincidence, is racial bias in and of itself, and needs to be examined as such.

Considering he drove to separate locations to seek out his victims, their ethnicity was very much not coincidental.

Please tell me you’re not saying that the US was right to imprison law abiding citizens based only on the fact that they were ethnically Japanese?!?  And that’s INTERNMENT camps, not internships.  Note that German-American citizens weren’t imprisoned without cause or evidence of wrongdoing, just Japanese Americans. …
