Proud to say that I formed this unpopular opinion as a kid when the movie first came out and I saw it in a theater.

I didn’t know much about these subjects at the time, but I couldn’t help but notice the elephants in the room.

Don’t get me started on Kramer versus Kramer or Thelma and Louise.

The whole movie is problematic.
the message seems to be that sexism is real but the obstacle to feminism is women’s fickle, wimpy ways, and only a man can really stand up for them. Also, subplot, competent white men can’t get jobs because of affirmative action. Tootsie 2 would be in blackface.

One of the things that brings me the greatest despair in authoritarianism is watching people react to state violence the way they react to domestic violence.

By justifying anything and everything the perpetrators does through blaming a victim for failing to be submissive enough.

Trump has been saying-for years-that left wing protesters were burning down Portland

This week, he had the chance to prove it to a federal judge-one he himself appointed

Not only did he fail
Miserably

But the judge ruled that he was essentially delusional

They remind me of CEOs or startups who do their own TV commercials. I basically would never buy a product from a CEO who does this because if they're so deluded as to their charisma, their quality and safety control of their products can't be good.

In this case, most people are not generally complaining that some censorship is occurring as part of moderation, the concerns are that some users are being censored unfairly for merely criticizing or questioning management while other users are not censored, despite violating the terms of service.

Moderation of social networks requires censorship, but it should be done judiciously and fairly. Even when it is done unfairly it is not a 1st amendment violation unless the government does it.

That is incorrect. The thing you are thinking of is 1st amendment violations in the US. Only the government can violate the 1st amendment because it only bans government censorship. But censorship itself can be done by anyone with power over others speech. Check the dictionary to verify this fact.

Wow, so colorful! I remember hearing that one of the lunar astronauts said that the main thing people didn’t understand about the moon was how colorful it was.

I don’t know the source of this, but I have heard that she was the origin of the term screwball comedy when someone said of her performance in such a comedy “that actress is a real screwball” and it stuck.

Don’t let the Homan bribery story go away. It will be important in figuring out the corruption throughout the entire DHS system.

Avocado cocktail for appetizer, the “wilted lettuce” salad with “mayonnaise dressing”, and for main course welsh rarebit & a lettuce and tomato sandwich. No, not bacon lettuce and tomato, just lettuce & tomato, it‘s on the menu! Also a glass of sauerkraut juice, & “jello, ice cream” for dessert!

I remember when my mother came out of the closet in the late 80s her first girlfriend was a republican. I couldn‘t understand how this was possible. She explained that her parents were wealthy.
