We now know what’s playing on every White House TV:

This film was mediocre at best and it’s a surprise to me that anyone thought it important enough to deserve an oral history.
Boomers at the time of the Hanoi Jane incident in ‘72 would have been at the oldest 26, but at the youngest 8. It seems some people need to be reminded of how incredibly unpopular the Vietnam war was at the time, especially with young people who would certainly fall into that 8-26 yo range. My mother, who is a Boomer…
DOWN WITH LOVE is a delight. It’s also a direct spoof of - or loving ode to - the Doris Day-Rock Hudson camp classic LOVER COME BACK (which is also intentionally camp), some of it uses clever shot-for-shot play on the earlier film.
This book would make a great gift for my sister and daughter.
You can cut Infinite Jest into ten pieces and you still ain’t gonna read it, Bub. Quit kidding yourself.
actuallyyyy, she has vowed to never buy a piece of clothing again because she is fighting consumerism. she literally uses her notoriety in society to bring attention to climate change. she’s been arrested many times and spent the night in jail at least once—at 82 years old. she has done nothing but protest for this…
Youth minister + “loving husband and father” = Creepy AF, always.
and Goebbels, Joseph:
I’m sitting in a quiet office staffed only with women and yet somehow I can still hear all the dudes rushing to minimise this and whine about snowflakes ruining this guy's life.
So if I get a wife and kids I can assault people? That’s the defense?
Oh for sure! See that’s the thing for me. If it did a better job (a la Mad Men, which, as an aside, had its share of anachronisms, but they were usually smaller) of getting the details right the show would be better.
Happy to to give you my thoughts on this issue
I’m a Black woman, so back the fuck up. Check my comment history if you doubt it (Howard University class of ‘08, I teach Black history now). And I’ve done a lot of anti-racist work where white people who do that work played critical roles-so I get mad when this particular woman, who was a radical and sacrificed…
This conversation makes sense to me when talking about like the Green Book but why are y’all coming after a white lady who gave money to the Black Panthers when they needed it and was herself a victim of COINTEL-PRO? It didn’t tangentially affect her, she was directly targeted. I get the general frustration at a…
Seberg was directly targeted by the FBI and stalked, threatened and harassed due to her support of the Black Panther Party. She was the victim of a deeply racist smear campaign. I agree that there should be more films and more widespread recognition on what happened to the Black Panther Party and those important…
Funny you should write this. I was around chronologically for the original but never really watched it despite a serious interest in supernatural literature, TV, and movies. I really don’t know why. Recently I had a procedure done to my shoulder that made it impossible for me to practice for several weeks (I’m a…
I think ghost stories are fun and all, but I completely agree with you. I think most ghost encounters are the mind trying to make sense of something that happened quickly, likely in poor lighting conditions.
My husband and I upgraded to a king bed from a queen when we moved specifically to give us more room for our two cats that love to sleep with us. Alas, we did not realize that cats have similar properties to gas, in that they expand to fit the space they’re in. Somehow those two little jerks still manage to spread out …
