There is no one “close” to him. If there was, they wouldn’t allow him to go out like this. There’s nothing left but a meat puppet whose sole purpose is to put it on display and make other people rich and powerful.

Thank you, sir.

In contemporary SF, POC are allowed to exist. Back then, the allegorical constructs for non-white people were aliens and robots.

Newsom won’t be the only presidential candidate in 2028, thank God.

And he’s not finished yet.

Meanwhile, Olivia Nuzzi is busy pimping her vile, shallow, incoherent, hypocritical and BORING romantic novel disguised as a memoir.

White Americans will happily jettison democracy in this country for pennies on the dollar if it means they can say the “n-word” openly again.

I wish Stahl had the guts to play the video footage of Greene mocking David Hogg. Stop handling these mofos with kid gloves and practice genuine journalism.

I think the same principle applies to comedy. Punchlines aren’t funny if there isn’t a proper setup beforehand.

Capitalism killed movie theaters. I’m glad I had the opportunity to see GHOST IN THE SHELL, LAWRENCE OF ARABIA, CITIZEN KANE, DO THE RIGHT THING, SORCERER, MASTER AND COMMANDER, SINNERS, 2001: A SPACE ODYSSEY, and the LORD OF THE RINGS trilogy on the big screen before the cineplexes finally go dark.

By standing up for what she believes in and refusing to be a prop for Trump’s fascist propaganda, Sabrina Carpenter beats Sylvester Stallone by a knockout.

Obviously the idiots who don’t believe in vaccines have never been a long-term guest of America’s wonderful health care system. Once anybody gets a serious illness in this country, you realize how inadequate it is, how complicated it is, and how expensive it is. Viruses ALWAYS get the last laugh.

It won’t be long before Trump signs an EO demanding that black people be called “Negroes” again.

Genocides don’t begin when soldiers start shooting people in the back of the head and toss their bodies into a pit. Genocides begin when people refuse to believe what they’re seeing.

Arguing with people you know is already stressful enough, never mind arguing online with a malicious troll with an agenda.

Ah. I understand. Thank you for the clarification. Thank you.

I hope you don’t mind, but I found this an interesting take on Tarantino’s recent online bullying of Matthew Lillard, Owen Wilson and Paul Dano. Quinn is a good movie/TV/ pop culture critic.

I’m not disagreeing with you. My point is institutions of education are systematically being dismantled by an authoritarian administration to promote a fraudulent narrative. Essential tools are being taken away. Teaches are being fired, school budgets are being cut. Quacks like Dr. Oz teaches myths.

Facts. Despite his wealth, Elon Musk can’t buy a molecule of charisma.

Why?

These chuckleheads would cease to exist if they didn’t have something to be pissed about. The tenets of the MAGA movement is anchored in being in an angry, never-ending state of grievance. It’s an itch that can’t be satisfied but they keep scratching that elusive itch anyway until it draws blood.

Hey, you’re a nice person. Non-trolls deserve respect.

Not all “facts” are created equal. It depends on what side of the textbook you’re on.

No worries. I didn’t make myself clear at first. I buried the lede.

Oboy. I can’t wait to hurry up and not buy it.

I’m thinking how school methodically subjugated marginalized groups (African-Americans, Latino, Asians, women, etc.) by erasing their history, thereby taking away their identities. White Heterosexual Christian Men are the default. I used to be a negro. I learned about Harriet Tubman in high school.

The purpose of the American educational system isn’t the acquisition of knowledge; it’s compliance.

Ain’t this a goddamned shame.
