Hundreds of kids are still detained.

The most annoying online people are commenters who whine and stamp about modern versions of “classic” TV or film franchises “going woke” or not appropriate for children, when, in fact, most of the elements they hate were there from the beginning.

RESULT: Democrat Chasity Martinez wins a special election for a legislative seat in Louisiana, 62% to 38%.
This was a district that Trump carried by 13% last year, so a big overperformance by Dems, but the seat was already Dem-held.

Ayup. It always raises my hackles when it is touted as a grand, passionate love story.
“Wuthering Heights” is not a romance.
It is a gothic novel about vengeance, cruelty, oppression and psychological obsession. It is not a “love story”.
I will die on this hill.

This 39-yr-old actor was supposed to be a 15-yr-old living alone after his father died. There was not enough willing suspension of disbelief to get me through it 🙃
They kept saying things like, "You can't live by yourself until you're 18, Bobby!" and I would die laughing.

Yes, my husband and I have been watching the A-Team for nostalgia, but omg. There's an episode where a 39-yr-old man is playing a 15-yr-old kid?
Is this possibly a sophisticated joke because he was in Grease? I can't tell.
