The restoration is *impeccable* You’re gonna buy a french aristocrat’s hiding from the mob cabinet and not use it??? Who even are you!

I respect you as one of the top tier commenters here.

Fellow Gen X-er here with similar thoughts on the matter.

I’m not sure if I would call it a pattern, per se. There are definitely way more mixed race black characters in animated shows but even amongst current animation there are still a good amount that come from two black parent households (Bow from She-ra, Dave from Kipo (presumably), Kiki and Jenny from Steven Universe,…

More reason for states to push for ranked-choice voting.

You don’t need 100 tampons for one female astronaut for one week. You need 100 tampons so that when mission control forgets to provision tampons for the next female astronaut, there are still some hidden in the bathroom cupboard for her to find while cursing to herself.

Stewart explained that The Daily Show had a blind hiring policy, which at the time producers thought meant no one could accuse them of being racist or sexist.

as a lesbian who was growing up when this movie came out- yes. Yes. I still fantasize not about “Poison Ivy” as much as “Uma as Poison Ivy.” And even if people don’t think they do, a lot of that style is still seen in this day and age because that shit looks good (tm).

And it only covers memorials for veterans of the United States armed forces, so any statue honoring a veteran of an unrecognized republic (like the Confederate States of America) is still fair game!

Urban legend about the space pen.

Oh I totally had that Flo Jo bathing suit (well a knockoff version I’m sure) in those exact colors. And I believe I had a Sun-In multi colored streaked perm at the time as well. Ahhhhhh the 80s.

Yeah there’s . . . all kinds of issues regarding representation that ultimately circle right back to “well, this is supposed to be a power fantasy for guys”. I mean, just to use an even more basic visual cue for an example, how many times have you seen a guy on film come out of a fight with a broken nose? I couldn’t…

Oh I think all the codpieces and stuff are more about the male power fantasy that comes along with superheroes. As you point out, the editing and production are way over the top and those are way over the top ways to display what are aspirational features more than anything.   It would be more interesting if it was…

This broke my heart when I read about it yesterday. Independent book stores are such fragile places right now - and Black-owned bookstores no doubt doubly so. Just once could the white people have ordered on Amazon? Or maybe called Frugal and said, “hey, I want to support you; do you have this book in stock?” and once…

Yeah, this is where I remind people that, as someone on the high-functioning end of the autism spectrum and depression, we need to stop putting racism in the “mentally-ill” bag. Nobody’s objecting to mental illness here. They’re objecting to Ms. Cooper’s racism. And while there can be overlap between racist beliefs…

I gotta say, I’m trying to think of a Marisa Tomei performance where I didn’t find her to be a national treasure, and I’m drawing a blank.

Yeah, this isn’t a hard thing to really understand, and one can take no firm positions on the distinction between sex and gender identity in order to form it. All one needs to do is ask three very simple questions:

Isn’t it contrary to Samuel Alito’s views on sodomy for him to have his head so far up his ass?

“Redefining ‘sex’ to mean ‘gender identity’ creates chaos,”

The best part was the people defending that nonsense, trying to claim it was just about strolling around beautiful houses in lovely dresses all day. As if any of that would have been possible without the suffering, torture and death of millions of enslaved people for centuries.
