I always thought that James Van Der Beek deserved a bigger career after The Rules of Attraction, where he gave such a ballsy, audacious+fearless performance as Sean Bateman. He got to show what he could do but sadly didn’t seem to get those opportunities again, I wish he had. R.I.P.

FAMU can't use the word Black on anything posted around campus related to Black History Month, to stay in compliance with Florida state laws against DEI. Black students can't use the word Black at their Historically Black College during Black History Month.

Lovely afternoon at Riverside Studios in Hammersmith watching some Hancock classics with my Dad who introduced me to the lad himself’s work when I was just 5 years old many moons ago.

There was no “breach”. They entered the public entrance through an open gate. A few entered the public lobby via an open door. Nobody was asked to leave.

People like this want people to quietly allow Trump to have them marched into camps. When does the fight back start?! When his goons have already killed everyone else?!
Violence only helps Trump & may provide him an excuse to further trample our rights by invoking the Insurrection Act.
