It’s wild because what’s being taught isn’t CRT, it’s basic history without all the makeup on. A few of my courses in grad school touched on CRT and they should not be taught to kids. Partly the subject matter (genocide, slavery, rape), partly because they’d be bored out of their minds.

If it means that GOP individual donors’ pockets are empty for fights of actual substance, I’m fine with Trump getting all of their money in this grift.

Yeah, the Biden photo-op is a political down payment. DeSantis is betting that Trump either not running in ‘24, or sundowning regularly enough that he can be trounced in the primary.

My partner’s (paying someone to) redoing the downstairs bathroom and I’ve found myself siding with Christina more and more in that yes, it’ll cost a bit more but it should at least look decent. So yes, I’ll smoke toad with her.

I hate sounding like a gatekeeper, but Swift has shifted to pop, and even her country music is fairly mainstream. Does Blackburn actually listen to Country music outside of what’s on the radio? It’s not like Simpson, Price and Childers are complete unknowns in that neck of the woods.

Can’t be utterly and completely humiliated if you don’t put yourself out there (and end up canceling most of your shows because nobody wants to see an old rapist on stage).

I’d like to think I could fix their marriage as their third.

Are we forgetting that the expectation of “this kind of movie” was to make the ex’s new girl some “rich bitch elite” and have Elle prove herself by one-upping her. Instead they gained a mutual respect and friendship, and realized that they were much better without the dud. That friendship is a good reason why it’s a…

The script was not good for Jennifer’s Body, and Kusama’s quoted in not wanting to change much as Cody had just won an Oscar for Juno. It’s a fine movie hamstrung by a bad script.

I got a Robyn notification for this?

Call the police, wait 4 hours for them to show up and tell me that they can’t do anything.

Why is there a tension, though? How does this solve any issues of police overreach? This is a PR move and a waste in funds that could otherwise be spent in programs where the primary goal isn’t the enforcement of laws regardless of morals/ethics/commonsense.

I wouldn’t say “a lot”, but some of the more corporate chains that gobble up smaller theaters and local chains coughAMCcough could die and I’d be happy. The only downside is that there are probably millions of people would be without a nearby-theater. It’s an easy opinion to have when you live in a major city, or a…

It’s confusing in the current context. Black Geyser already evokes a sense of Black Isle, which teamed with Bioware at the start. And with Bioware being bought by Electronic Arts, and the article markedly mentioning the Bioware of old, using EA to mean Early Access seems more of a stylistic slight against current Biowa…

Alternate take: Wow, Scarlett has so much money from starring in worldwide hit Marvel films that she can pay somebody to be embarrassed for her!

Looking at his filmography post-Blade, I don’t really see Marvel knocking down the door for him. Rich of him to talk about working for the “next Kubrick” when a lot of the main Avengers cast have-done/still-do their fair share of non-mainstream work. I mean Cheadle is currently starring in and is a frequent…

Gamefly, Gamestop and Costco have been doing the subscription paywall for a while. And practically every online retailer outside of Best Buy, Target and Sony Direct have been bundling. It’s a simple economic problem compounded by the fact that they’re probably stopped by Sony from raising prices on the consoles for…

Nah, Cliff being a maniac felt like it was his character’s throughline in the film. Just that at the end his maniacal nature coincided with saving Sharon Tate. 

Pretty wild that we’re on our third presidential administration (including fucking Trump!) critical of the Iraq fuckup but absolutely no earthly repercussions to its architects.

To be fair Rumsfeld died, so today’s a wash.
