Most of us non-Christians aren’t offended, but can get tired of the majority culture reminding us we’re not part of it for months on end (Christmas decorations go on sale earlier and earlier.). So we can go from laughing about seeing Christmas stuff for sale in September or October, to enjoying hearing a great

But don’t you think the individuals and not the company should be making a profit from their own data? 23 and Me makes money off other areas of their services, the genealogy part. Why double-dip? (With permission for sure, but under the pretense of helping science when it’s actually about corporate profits.). Wouldn’t

The article also ended with this part that Jezebel conveniently left out...

I thought they gave the impression that high school kids are shallow and think skinny is better. Not that the show is saying this is true. I assume she will realize to love herself for who she is inside over the course of the show (my guess is she starts to gain the weight back as it goes on). And meanwhile the

Those six women are incredibly brave to stand up to one of the more powerful men in this country. Bravo!

I don’t see the need to put down other women to support Ocasio-Cortez. Hilary Clinton endured a world of bullshit for DECADES because of her perceived crime of showing ambition while being female. These women paved the way.  Maybe they stayed on the stage too long for some, but they deserve respect.

Except you could’ve save a lot of money on movies over the last year if you had signed up. And still could at least for maybe another week!

All in about the same range (21 mbps-27 mpbs) except Ookla, which said I was at 45 mbps. Also, that average range is less than what my provider says I’m getting.  But I can watch streaming shows just fine, so... no idea what it means!

Roseanne made several racists statements that she supported and promoted (and one while working on a hit TV show). Gunn made purposefully offensive statements in a (failed) attempt at humor, mimicking (poorly) the shock value jokes in vogue in time and that the company he had been working with, Troma, had been doing.

That would be hilarious, but sadly, it’s not. 

“If Johnson has nothing to hide, why do anything at all?”

Picking on him for his weight is wrong of course. But he comes off as a complete a-hole in many interviews, so can we pick on him for that?

I’ll check out 3.  Thanks!

“director Christopher McQuarrie, who is officially the first director to helm a second installment in the series.”

Can you do probiotics next?

What if the show has the character realizing revenge wasn’t what she should be doing and she’s become as bad as the people who bully her, and she learns to accept herself in her plus-size body by the end?  I still have no interest to watch based on the trailer, but it might not be as bad as the way it’s being marketed.

Heathers was on a cable channel called The Paramount Network, not a Netflix show. But yes, the Netflix content has been crappier as they used to be more like HBO with quantity over quality but then changed the plan and went far in the other direction.

Barr was not making jokes whose supposed humor came from their being over-the-top and offensive (and note, Gunn SUCKED at these types of jokes and so they were simply offensive, and he apologized). Barr was making bigoted, racist jokes that she believed in and was supportive of (if you think Gunn was supportive of

Sadly, using the offensve term he used for trans people was considered not a big deal when he did it. Conan O’Brien used the term often in that period (and apologized once he learned it was offensive.) The culture, just like Conan and Gunn, has thankfully evolved.

Tambor is accused of sexual harassment. Gunn is not, nor has he ever been Let’s not link unfunny purposefully offensive attempts at humor with sexual harassment.
