Thank you. I was in a dentist’s office in 1995 and I read an article (in Entertainment Weekly, perhaps) about why the term “guilty pleasure” is bull.  We can debate quality and art and such, but why should something that makes us happy produce “guilt”?  I’ve been unable to find that article again, but it was nice to

No.  That only works if you’re white.  White people can feel threatened and do whatever they want.

It looks to be a big CGI fest, which is always dull. Wonder Woman worked because it had a lot of talking and Gadot and Pine had great chemistry and the movie had them, you know, talk. The action scenes were action—running, punching and the like. Practical effects work best (I could watch the trench run scene in Star

That’s the reason people are against the Electoral College; it’s not about the majority, but having the right people in the right place.

As a long-time cheap car owner, my sister asked me for advice when my nephew was looking for a cheap, reliable car. She was worried about a Toyota they were looking at that had “almost 100,000 miles”. She was surprised when I told her 120,000 miles was a nice place to start.

True, but Biden and Sanders are men.

Vermont, but all of New England has it. It is a week off. It used to be an extension of Presidents’ Day (a Monday) and I suspect it is a carry-over from some rural farm thing. Not only are we very white in Vermont, but we won’t even give Black History a full four weeks! Ask Bernie about that (he’ll say we should teach

Sadly, when you take away all of the other things going on (including February break plus Presidents’ Day), you have a few days.

Teacher here. Students don’t have a choice to be in school, so what they see in the hallways and classrooms becomes dicey because consent does not exist—they can’t just leave. I’m sure every reader can think of something on a teacher’s wall or school hallway that made them feel they did not belong there or their ideas

I read a poll data analysis that said if you satisfy black middle aged mothers you win because the issues that black mothers care about (health care, jobs, safe communities) are the ones that really matter to most Americans.

Our school library did not have Richard Scary’s Cars and Trucks and Things That Go or any of his books (I also loved What Do People Do All Day). I asked the librarian and she said, “It’s not considered of literary value.” What?! First, I’ll fight anyone who says that. Second, the library had the usual collection of

Board books:

I find it really hard to find non-Western stories that Western children, teens and adults get into.

We got married in August and people still ask how long our honeymoon phase will last. I think it’ll last as long as we stick to our 2’s.

I’m just amazed how they don’t get it. I can understand (and disagree with) someone justifying the purchase, but not even having thought about it? But it doesn’t even occur to so many people—that’s half the pushback, being caught off-guard.

I just wave and say “thank you”—it really pisses them off when you’re nice because their is nothing they can justifiably do other than be the horrible person they are.

They’re not aliens; they’re interdimensional beings.

I understand where it comes from, but the discussion of looks too often takes over the discussion to the detriment of the most compelling point. This article could have been turned upside down—how the Frag Dolls gave women access to the industry—before asking about their looks.

Wait, you thought Coming to America was about anything but the men?

I think we’re saying the same things (or thinking it, anyway). My original point about not trusting Bernie is because he is stuck in a certain world view. It’s not that his view (economic) isn’t valid, but he does not seem to see people’s needs beyond that.
