Footnotes:
[1] This is not to stan the CPUSA, as to my understanding they were less than stellar about workers rights during world war 2 (among plenty of other bad things I'm sure they've done, that's just my knowledge with that specific image), but more over I just find the photo fascinating and wanted an excuse to share it, as it's a patriotic angle of American history that gets lost when Conservatives talk about the left "hating America".
[2] If someone appreciates western civilization as a part of a broader, more worldly appreciation for human culture as a whole, we've got no beef. People from the west have done some cool stuff. The issue comes when people start to argue which civilization is superior, as western civilization stans get pretty ahistorical and pretty racist pretty quickly.
[3] I'd pull clips from the video Shaun responds to in his masterpiece "Euopean History is not White History", but the videos he discusses all got taken down because the creator who complained about the death of "western civilization" turned out to be a Nazi (weird, who could have seen that coming?) But suffice it to say, conservatives online have intermittent outbursts when people of color get cast in historical dramas (article linked below to some modern day examples of that), despite the fact that in most circumstances people of color were in those societies at the time of their story (like a black knight of the round table), it's just that racists by definition exclude them from "the west" and therefore consider their presence to be a "woke casting" or, more importantly, "a threat".

    I think Bush being shocked at the youthful and innocuous appearance/demeanor of the drug offender in "Mom E.

    For any idiots that believe this is the truth: Here's the REAL TRUTH: If the electoral college were eliminated, then Chicago, NYC , LA , Baltimore, will have enough votes to win every election from now on simply because of their population..... and since they are all Democrat, that means that the elections will always have the Democrat as the winner.. That's the reason the electoral college was put in effect in the first place.. So Philadelphia, and NYC which had more people than the rest of the other colonies put together, wouldn't be able to win every election, thus giving even the rual areas and states a voice .. And you idiots want to undo that ? Do you really think that a one party government is a wise choice? With no other party to keep the other side in check ? That will simply lead to tyranny... and eventually, civil war when the opposing party's people feel they have no voice helpless... which was the No.2 reason for the last civil war.... We don't need to go down that road again people..

    I have both seasons on DVD and it was one of my best purchases because, yes, it’s hard to find these great episodes. I was very surprised it was cancelled as well, I thought it was cancelled due to 9-11 - that they didn’t like to show Dubya in a bad light. I also own L’il Bush, but only the first season - it’s hysterical as well, great digs at on Geo. Herbert Walker and Barbara, plus a lot of digs at Cheney and Rumsfeld. They’re all kids in school, at lunchtime, Cheney brings live chickens and bites their heads off - that’s his sack lunch! His heart explodes in another episode - he goes to Hell but tries to take over so the devil kicks him out. Li’l Rummy says he gets to pick out the cigar his dad will use to light up and burn him as a punishment. Love this show!!!

    It was not the first sitcom in which a laugh track is not used in the UK. In 1998 The Royle Family started on BBC2 and its creators Caroline Aherne and Craig Cash insisted on No Laugh Track for the show. It became an immediate hit, so much so that it got transferred for BBC1 and soon would be part of the schedule on Christmas Day. Anyway watch the opening sequence for the show and then watch the final Spaced Episode Leaves and you see the influence of The Royle Family had on Spaced. It also helped that Jessica Stevenson/Hynes played a supporting character in The Royle Family. The Supporting Cast, well looking at it, it is like watching the Bambi Episode in The Young Ones, so many people who go on to be individually successful. Nick Frost had never acted before, Julia Deakin had been in conventional sitcoms before. Mark Heap would later be in Friday Night Dinner. David Walliams, Bill Bailey, Paul Kaye, Mark Gatiss, Reece Shearsmith, John Simm, Kevin Eldon and Peter Serafinowicz would all go on to successful careers themselves. Then there was one person who appeared briefly in the episode Dissolution and the idiot who didn't listen to Marsha Klein's advert properly on the phone. A few months after that another sitcom that idiot co-wrote, and they insisted on No Laugh Track for their show. It started on BBC2 and I'll leave you to work out which show that was.

    Horrible critique. Climate change is not the underlying problem. If there is any threat to the world (not just climate change), once wealthy folk find that they can profit from it, their thinking changes. Making money outweighs potential damage. And some people are so controlled by a persuasive politician that if he said "there's no comet, just don't look up and everything will be okay," many people would obey him. And when they do finally think for themselves and look up, it's too late. The danger is unavoidable. Although the scientists try many ways to warn people of the danger, nothing works when people have cult like thinking and never question their leaders. Ultimately, the movie warns us not to be that person who mindlessly follows leaders because they tell you what you want to hear. Who would ingest disinfectant to kill COVID? Some people did. Didn't they realized it'd kill them, too? But they hung onto every word their leader uttered. Were those same folk in the movie, scientists could present hard core data about the comet, but if their leader said, "You don't have anything to worry about; just don't look up," they wouldn't look up. And, if by any stretch of the imagination, they did look up, it'd be too late.
