This guy was not only a serial abuser of multiple of his girlfriends, he was also credibly accused of raping an 11-year-old, and the only reason the settlement was thrown out of court was because of the case occurring outside the statute of limitations.

I know the show was set in Texas but does anyone else feel like every piece of fresh news coming out of Florida was presented 25 years ago as satire in some episode of King of the Hill?

In fairness, knowing this was Florida, if Covey had wanted to end up with paid administrative leave pending an investigation, he shouldn’t have shot video of the bookshelves with his phone, but rather with a gun.

This sounds great, Rich, but what does it do that Stand By Me didn’t do indirectly but just as affectingly (and with more at stake)?

What bothered me most about Guess Who’s Coming to Dinner? was that they matched up a 37-year-old Black doctor (top tier in his profession, at that) with what seemed to me like a 23-year-old white flibbertigibbet, and by putting them in a romantic relationship, suggested that they were at least ostensibly on equal…

I read your post twice to confirm one movie you omitted: Something New.

Mississippi Masala from 1991 was an interesting if light weight exploration of a romance between a Black man played by Denzel Washington and a Desi woman Sarita Choudhury (ethnically Indian but was part of the diaspora living in Uganda forced out by Idi Amin).

Honest question. Do you ever get tired of being miserable?

$10k for a Fuego is an AWFUL TERRIBLE NO GOOD deal. don’t do that to yourself, they’re horrible horrible cars.

Me too. I’ll go further from you and say it was fucking awful. I watched it just to see what the hype was about and really wanted my money back. 

I am sorry, but was there some form of subliminal brainwashing in the theatrical release of Top Gun: Maverick ?

People who acknowledge their mistakes, apologize, and are ultimately held accountable should be allowed to land on their feet eventually. The extent of his transgressions hardly meets the threshold for “unforgivable”. He resigned from the Senate, went through the cancellation spectacle, and now (5 years later), people…

We should probably create some sort of new award for the guy/gal/they who saw this dumpster fire and had the immediate thought to create a fake Pepsi account to announce that Coke is better. Just saying: they’re clearly better than the rest of us mere mortals.

Great idea!

Honestly surprised we don’t have a major Musk impersonator blue check on Twitter doing stuff like tweeting pro-Taiwan remarks at official Chinese government and media accounts. Seems like that would actually hurt him more - not every government is going to know (or care) about the nuances of American parody on social…

The nonchalant and dismissive tone of this article is strange. He engaged in a sexual affair with a “staff member”, presumably a subordinate based on that description, in direct violation of his organization’s rules. The authority imbalance alone is icky and makes suspect any claim that it was consensual. The fact…

Do you seriously need it to be explained how authority and imbalance of power is... you know... a major problem here.

If I was in charge of an organization, my anti-fraternization rules would be super strict. Depending on size, there would certainly be a “no nepotism” policy that would prohibit related people from working there, which would mean that people that if a couple working there got married, one would have to quit (this was…
