There are a lot of non-white characters that children of all races want to emulate. I hear Doc McStuffins is all the rage, for example. I think without any skin color alteration it is still cute, and respectful.

I couldn’t place this guy, and then saw in IMDB he was the male lead from Zebrahead. Gawd, he has not aged well.

Columbus IN is an international destination for modern architecture buffs, btw. Some forward-thinking townspeople commissioned all of these very far-out mid-century modern buildings.

I suspect a lot of signature dishes credited to celebrity chefs actually were created by their kitchen staff. This case is unusual in that a non-culinary employee created the dishes.

Austin sounds cool. I visited and enjoyed San Antonio and the awesome people I met at La Tuna. It is difficult to reconcile these folks with the horrible political and legal environment.

Breillat is the Cool Girl of French cinema. I sincerely hope to see less of her type of male-gaze-friendly films from the next generation of women directors.

Serious question:

April Fool’s!

Has anyone else read the account of the neighbor of his first victim, Anthony House? First of all: trigger warning. Really, it’s horrifying. His eight year-old daughter witnessed the blast, and her father dying an agonizing death. The only consolation over Conditt self-detonating is that he maybe he finally understood

“Alas, not even all the blacks can dance.”

Well, the box office was disappointing in China, and some complaints about the film on Weibo (China’s “Facebook”) was that it was about American social issues and was too “politically correct.”

No, he’s just the kind of asshole who thinks he can anything to anyone. Can’t remember where I read this, but there’s a researcher who discovered a correlation between sexual transgression behavior and financial malfeasance—to the point that you can pretty much find a guy who views child porn and expect to also find

Now mass shooters will have to join band so they can carry their weapons in a trombone case.

She is an extremely wealthy, White, Christian dominionist. She has the awesome self-confidence of someone who believes she is establishing the Kingdom of Jesus Christ as the governing body of the former United States. That kind of belief system allows for no genuine self-awareness.

Nothing says WE ARE HETEROSEXUAL PEOPLE HETEROSEXUALLING more than signature hats.

That’s not all they can drop on you. I was monitoring the Chicago police scanner on St. Patrick’s Day. Two different people were knocked out by thrown bottles. A guy dropped a fire extinguisher out of a 16th floor window, which miraculously didn’t hit anyone. This was all before 2 pm, in the Loop.

My Scottish-American great-grand parents thought Greeks weren’t white. Um, cradle of Western civilization? Yes, but only ancient Greece. Modern Greeks: definitely not white.
