Let the record reflect that the rebirth of the Klan (the second Klan) in the 1920s was centered in...drum roll...Indiana. 

And he wasn’t even the dog being hit!

Partly true - they had a lot of precedent in medieval anti-Jewish laws. They did borrow a bit from Jim Crow.

You mad bro?

I was an obnoxious 12 year old. We all were. I hate 12 year olds.

This is really a different argument you are making here. Disney (like A LOT of companies in the US) should have caught the eyes of anti-trust regulators some time ago. This is really an argument about business (and specifically, media) consolidation as a problem. Not entirely unconnected, but a very different argument

There are a couple of correctives that need to be noted here. I am not all that sure that “curation” in art criticism has ever disappeared - just read a book or film or any review section of a blog/newspaper and you will see this is true. As for the value of pop culture, most cultural studies folks (you paint with a

Curious if this was just my experience. I had on CC while watching, and during the scene where Wanda is alone in her house and everything is shifting back and forth, there was a lot of “spoken” text showing up that was not really audible. Could not tell if it was supposed to be the TV or Wanda’s inner thoughts.

On a side note, Evan Peters is really a chameleon of an actor, as AHS has shown. He can really play just about anything well.

Rush was the big bang of toxic right wing radio. The year after Reagan axed the Fairness Doctrine, Rush and his business partner came up with the idea of taking shock jock radio,mixing it with politics, and giving it away for free to any station that wanted it, as long as they ran the national ads. That combination

At one point I closed my eyes during the cold open, and dang if Moffat didn’t sound exactly like Carlson. He may not have looked like him, but he nailed his voice and quirks, and I thought he did a great job. I hope Regina King will be back a few more times - she did a great job as host and clicked nicely with the

You mean like this?

Lakeith Stanfield just keeps getting better in each film he is in. Weirdly, the first time I saw him was in Deathnote. I was a fan of the anime, and he was only one of two things good about the live action film (he nailed L’s animated quirkiness in a marvelous way). Every time he shows up he just knows how to inhabit

Interesting and logical move. Far more than that 5 minutes they owned Chrysler, produced the Crossfire, then realized that Chrysler was more interested in selling trucks, Jeeps, and a lot of crappy cars rather than sports cars, and then dumped them.

I did not realize there had been a rift, but I do remember back then thinking there would never be a cooler name for a female DJ than Spinderella. I have yet to hear one.

IKR? It’s as if his goal was to create a human inflatable doll.

He literally ran on “considering working with Republicans”!

Ok, I admit it, my first reaction was “this again?” Read comments. Then realized I did what probably a lot of folks did and stopped reading after the first half. No, I was wrong and you are absolutely right this time. Alice Ghostly impersonator Collins should have been left at the door like a religious pamphleteer, or

Omar and Hoyer addressed it succinctly - this is an attempt at distraction. Just like these bullshit calls for unity. The last time the United States “came together” in “the name of unity” was 1877.  That lead to a complete erasure of any good accomplished by Reconstruction and brought about Jim Crow, lynchings, and a

Enter Jenny Cudd, owner of a flower shop in Midland, Texas called Becky’s Flowers (I know, I know, too easy).
