I actually like Rippa so I hope not, though he would be perfect.

Is it too much to hope that it’s Melania and literally any Muslim or Latino actor on the market?

There’s always going to be a bottom half but those schools need help to improve (all schools do, but particularly those). This isn’t a bottom half that sits at 80%. Even high performing states don’t compare to international education standards — cutting money to a place that ranks at roughly 40% on math and literacy v…

I know nothing about the order of how these things progress so I will take your word for it and go back to celebrating that our justice system seems to have some life in it yet, instead of internally screaming “won’t somebody please think of the children?!”

Seems like a solid strategy. Uneducated kids grow into idiot adults who support laws like this.

Yes, it would have made perfect sense. I’m disappointed in you for not fully committing to this, Bobby.

This is phenomenal because the fact that HB2 even exists is vile, but given that I’m pretty sure NC isn’t going to just roll over, I’m a little worried that the short term game here is taking funding away from kids in the already shitty public school system. Is there nothing else they get federal funding for that…

There are likely a ton of factors going on that contribute to keeping the conservatorship going. The Times article was interesting but kind of gross in its speculation on something so personal that we know so little about beyond the mechanics. If Britney hasn’t pursued having it overturned, there is no reason to think…

Come on, what do you take me for?! They’ve seen all of those!

I’ll be honest I haven’t seen that one but maybe we’ll check it out

It really is irredeemably humiliating to be an American at this point.

Concur. To me it had a more “I was impressed by a young kid who is standing out in an otherwise desolate wasteland” vibe than a creepy one.

I just accepted that my kids will be horrible pop culture snobs. They won’t listen to modern “music” because I am raising them to love blues and classic rock. They don’t like current cartoons because they were raised on 90s stuff. Sometimes education is more important than fitting in.

I came home late from work the other day and they had already watched an episode. I definitely caught up on it after they went to bed.

Jokes that reinforce common misconceptions about medical testing aren’t particularly good campaigns for companies trying to move things forward ass hat.

I just bought the DVDs of Clarissa to give my daughter for her birthday. She will love that show or I will kick her out.

Horrible, I can’t bear them. He’s also right, Miley was great in that show. Especially compared to the ones they have on now. God save us all from the cast of Jessie.

Hannah Montana was a great show. My kids are just old enough for it now so I’ve started watching it with them — it’s leagues above the other Disney shows on today.

“You have nothing to worry about, everything is positive!”

This movie is SO underrated. That’s the version I hear in my head when someone brings this song up. When she starts belting? Holy shit.
