As a black clinician myself, it is worthy to note here that his provider, Dr. Preston Phillips, is a black orthopedic surgeon. While most of us BIPOC in the medical community have known about the racial injustice within outcomes for black individuals. I would hope that we take this into consideration while managing…

the article doesn’t do nearly enough justice in covering what actually transpired in the video (or note what makes all of this even more horrific of any exchange). She begins by identifying the family as “migrants” and then asking them with camera in their faces what they want and “what they want America to do” for…

As a POC, I do find difficulty with telling other POC how they should feel about casting or race relations, but I think the uproar over this as well as the “origin of the Nagini” is ridiculous. This is simply a role. It says nothing broadly about race, race dynamics. If anything, the fact that the snake is a woman is…

OYYYYYY.

clinical skills is a huge portion of our licensing exams though they’re not too heavily marked on. usually just a tool to see if we can obtain information and communicate with a patient to come up with an assessment and plan. but in all of my interactions with other residents, students, and attendings, I’ve only met…

still. he wouldn’t have been able to complete med school AND residency in order to become licensed to practice at 25 unless he trained abroad where folks go from high school to practically med school immediately (he did have an accent, so maybe?). same for the female character and she seemed pretty american to me.

Being that most Southern states are basically football star factories, I don’t think this rally for boycotting football (i.e. Alabama’s only domestic contribution) will hold up well.

i think it helps to consider that this whole issue is much larger than lunkheaded athletes and a sport. If civilians are targeted and vilified by the President of the United States for protesting racial (or otherwise) injustice and other egregious acts, then this spells trouble for democracy, equality, and the…

Agreed! They had been dating for years (about 8 years...since college, and Issa is 29), it makes sense for their friendship circles and social network to coalesce from time to time.

I think this show has relayed to us so far that Lawrence does a lot of dumb stuff but deflects fault when being called out. He did this exact thing with Tasha. Even if it wasn’t a sit down dinner with seating cards, why would he feel he needs to bring a plus one to an event he KNOWS Issa will attend mainly because…

OK so i liked your comment, and a star went away. i liked it again because I thought it was a glitch, and then all your stars went away. I’m sorry. I liked your comment though. So did 4 other people.

YES! I wanted to read what the commentariat thought about Nocturnal Animals before watching this weekend and there was nothing there. I wept.

Agreed with everything in this post. Candace looks like someone who wouldn’t simply take Dro cheating sitting down. Her awkwardness with Molly at the bar hinted to me that she knows Dro is fucking her. Since she’s such a good, long-time friend of theirs, there is no doubt for some level of resentment. I can’t imagine…

I would doubt the Issa pregnancy theory because it would make no sense (or no storytelling sense) at this time for Issa to know about a baby without us knowing about it; i think following Issa during the initial throes of discovering pregnancy would be something this show would do very well to cover; then, order a…

I don’t.... know. We’re assuming we’re now like how many months out of the cheating-breaking of their relationships. Issa and Lawrence will have mutual friends. After all, it was her husband’s birthday, not hers. He may still be friends with Lawrence. It’s not fair to make all friends cater to their overly emotional,…

because she was going to meet his muslim relatives at a temple the next day, I laughed the he said “THEY HAVE SHUMAI SHOOTERS!!!” Shumai = pork.

As a black woman, I don’t think Daniel was actually keeping score. I think he misread the dynamic of their conversation and wanted to level with her as in a joking “haha we’re both eff ups” manner. Not in a deeply secretive vindictive manner. I would also say that I think Daniel got a lot of crap for giving her a…

Is there a way we can assume that when Arya Bran and Sansa were together upon reunion at Winterfell that they all caught up at that time? It doesn’t make the plot less silly but it may imply that all of this was a ploy? But... no.. I guess it doesn’t.

not true. Sam Tarly walks into Bran’s room in the season finale and Bran greets him with “yo you know my bro’s a targaryean?”

when Bran repeats to Littlefinger his own phrase that “chaos is a ladder” I think that gave everyone the impression he knew what kind of person Littlefinger was and what he’d been up to at least in regards to his father’s death. It’s safe to assume he knew Littlefinger was a bad guy enough to tell his sisters.
