It’s in part because America is a lot bigger than Europe (both geographically and population, when you exclude the EU countries that Muslims tend not to live in), and because the US has more choice in who it lets immigrate in. Muslims constitute a tiny percent of Americans and tend not to be localized to a handful of…

was he 3?

He’s definitely the dude who shows up to the gym everyday in athletic pants, pretending that we don’t notice how he only heads to the squat rack to do shoulder presses and bicep curls.

You’re probably not currently a college student then.

Yea, that was definitely an argument for a professional army instead of a drafted one.

I think the problem people have with this article is that it uses really bad examples. Idris Elba has starred in Prometheus, the Thor movies, and Pacific Rim (which had a WoC in a leading role), and is cast as The Gunslinger in The Dark Tower, a role which could end up covering several movies. All those are big budget…

Men rarely age out of roles in Hollywood :)

Elba was weird to use as an example here, because it notes he is in three animated (and high grossing) movies. Good for him, right, he probably was well paid. (almost) Nobody shows their skin in animated movies. Then it notes how he is going to be unrecognizable but live action in Star Trek. One check in the box for…

Not if it does well in China they won’t.

The deaths of 17 secular progressive Bangladeshis at the hands of Islamic militants within the last year does seem worthy of noting, although apart from this article.

but it’s unclear if their religion or nationality had anything to do with the crime

The MJS also included other slum lords in the series, and one of them, well, looked exactly like a slum lord, paid $100 a month on his hundreds of thousands of fines while always requesting to defer his payments. Except, of course, when he was threatened with jail, and came up with $700,000 in cash in one week.

My local (Milwaukee) paper ran a section on local musicians impressions of meeting Prince. My favorite was this anecdote:

I went to high school where most of the fights went down like this:

Fuck them!

Thanks, but you could’ve done better...

Thanks for commenting, I did a shit job reading the whole article. Sorry.

So it doesn’t matter at all that the actress wanted to leave the show? Death (in most TV series), especially in TV series that have lots of death, is really the best way to eliminate a character when the actor or actress no longer wants to be a part. What reason would they have to concoct that would make sense for a…

yeah, but then your best friend hires John Legend to sing a love song as her and bf proposes to her after they eat a $200 private dinner at a beach under the stars, and I have to hear about how fortunate Janice was every time I forget to take out the trash.

I think it is an attempt by JE Reich to distance herself from the horribleness she sees in Bill Clinton. I’m not cis, so I can’t be queerphobic! I’m Jewish, so I’m different than those WASPS and benefit less from their privilege! I’m a woman, so I’ve suffered under the patriarchy! It’s just an attempt to shore up…
