Another fun fact is that the proper plural of “court-martial” is “courts-martial,” not “court-martials” (and hyphenated in the US). The “martial” part is a postpositive adjective, and it’s the noun “court” you want to pluralize. It’s like “inspectors general,” “accounts payable,” “poets laureate,” “Knights Templar,”…

Events like this put into context Truman’s order to integrate the armed forces in 1948. It was a radical measure, even though implementation was slow -- decades later de facto segregation still existed in a number of areas. Omar Bradley and Dwight Eisenhower were opposed, and Truman fired his Army Secretary for…

Segregationists versus nazis. It’s hard to grasp the 30s and the 40s beyond the thick curtain of our glamorous WW2 fictions. How commonplace racialism was. How “common sense” antisemitism was. How exactly things were similar and different.

Never heard of this, truly a period that has been so glossed over, even as it’s been picked apart to the minute level. The way the era has been portrayed, you wouldn’t know something like this could happen. It feels like one of those issues, the kind that happen all the time, but that we witness over and over…

There were a lot of incidents during the war of white Americans demanding British shops and pubs adopt American styles of segregation, and in every case the locals sided with the black GIs. The black soldiers were incredibly popular with the British during the war, and widely considered the only Americans who anyone li…

Agreed, this is disgusting behavior. Imagine being a young evangelical guy, already primed to believe sex is awful and sinful and you can’t do it AT ALL (sidehugs and all that shit) outside of marriage and here’s the first lady of the university (*eyeroll* such as it is, when was Liberty eventually accredited?)…

Even more confusing, its not a magazine about the creator of underrated cartoon Codename: Kids Next Door, whose creator and writer credits were always exclusively listed only as “Mr. Warburton.”

After Heche left the interview, she then kept stepping onto a series of rakes, thwapping herself on the face, shuddering and mumbling each time.

Maybe the real hostile working conditions were the friends we met along the way.

I really miss their advice column, Ask The 8 Ball.

To each their own- I’m not on any crusade, I just think it’s important to make mention of such a thing, and question what is to gain from highlighting that from the interview. I can see little to gain in respects to the Ellen controversy or knowing more about Heche from an article that says so little- all it does is…

Where am I supposed to go for my Tick news? Serafinowicz Weekly is sadly lacking on “Which absurd villian are you?” quizzes.

I didn’t see any mental health issues being manipulated here, just someone asking a woman about a famous ex and that woman trying to get out of saying anything of substance about her. It ended in a car crash of a metaphor, but whatever mental health struggles she may have didn’t really play into it.

Don’t blame me, I voted for Kodos. 

Then you swerve, narrowly avoiding The Scary Door.

Just an FYI- Anne Heche has some significant mental issues, so this is just another time that entertainment junkets are manipulating illnesses for a sensational story. It’s a bit depressing to see AV Club stoop this low.

And when Ellen looked down, there was only one set of footprints.

“Mr. Warburton magazine, which is not, as far as we can tell, a magazine about the actor Patrick Warburton.”

I read the headline and wondered by an HBO show about women skateboarders suddenly dived Into Nazis....

So James isn't playing Becky? Oh, right, it's not a Sandler flick.
