That, and lurid depictions of slavery. Ugh.

lol you just want Scotland back. Same tho.

I will *always* chuckle at a Rachel Dolezal reference. Thank you.

I read The Help and wanted to know more about the working women and their perspectives. The Help’s author referenced Telling Memories Among Southern Women by Susan Tucker, so I got a copy.

From a former African American studies professor

Last season lost me and that Jamaica storyline made me embarrassed for them when I wasn’t outright annoyed.

We all are. Apparently he was nearly as prolific as Genghis Khan.

On Saturday, I went to see Neko Case. There were a larger number of Children than one normally sees at a bar show. One of these was a girl of about eleven or twelve. Case’s opening act was Thao Nguyen (Thao of The Get Down Stay Down). She is a very awesome rocker who spits, snarls and howls while accompanying…

Hate to say it, but Evan has *always* pinged my gaydar, especially compared to his brother, Ross Næss. Perhaps it’s just wishful thinking; I mean just imagine being a baby geigh and your mother is Diana Ross! Oh, the hours and hours of fun to be had in her closet, for example. 

I thought the same. Felt kinda icky.

what’s up with the “my dear”? seems a bit patronizing

Check out “Tim’s Vermeer” on Netflix, about a man who obsessively studied how Vermeer was able to achieve his realistic lighting effects and who went on to demonstrate the technique by building a replica room to recreate one of Vermeer’s paintings and then painted it using the technique. Obviously this man (Tim) had…

I just watched a PBS documentary on Andrew Wyeth yesterday and learned all about it.

The main image was a crowd of women with holding signs and wearing tshirts with messages and one of them was holding a real hanger. But it was a plastic hanger! It was really shocking to me to realize that…

If you zoom in on her arms, you can see they are withered (she was Wyeth’s neighbor, who suffered from a degenerative neuromuscular disease).

I expect Collins is very familiar with Wyeth’s masterpiece; he is, after all, Maine's most prominent artist. I’ve always found it to be a very haunting image, the beautiful disabled woman crawling in the field because she can’t walk. But it really has nothing to do with the matter at hand (unless you interpret it mote…

Collins needs this clip in an infinite loop.

The people who want to pull an innocent-until-proven-guilty with Broidy need only look at his claim that he paid hush money to protect his family.

I’m sure Trump certainly thinks so...plus interest.

Yep. That was basically everyone in my office’s reaction. Especially considering we’re an immigration law firm.
