No, nepotism has definitely been a thing. Your original text made it seem like there’s been a long history of the Democrats having spouses (a singular instance for either party) or a VP (less concerning) being the candidate. It also made it seem like you considered it nepotism. VPs aren’t nepotism.
You’d be hard pressed to find someone to the left of Bernie Sanders who doesn’t support Iranians protesting the right to not be killed for wearing a hijab improperly.
A fifth-grade teacher in Massachusetts has been placed on paid leave after a series of incidents including holding a mock slave auction, using a racial slur, and calling out the student who reported the slur, a school official said....
I might be wrong, but at a certain point, I believe (s)he might’ve been actually trying to harass these kids. Why else would you have a mock auction critiquing their physical characteristics and adding slurs into the books you’re reading?
Probably not. Kids don’t hate reboots and remakes because they were probably too young to see the originals. Old people are the ones hating.
Kids don’t actively hate shows, they just won’t watch things they don’t like. Adults will not watch a show, then summarize a 2 hour podcast explaining why no one else is supposed to like it.
It sounds somewhat like her character from the movie Her to me, but based on the standards set by the entertainment industry it seems reasonable for her to lose the lawsuit. If you can’t hire an actor for a role, you can get a voice actor to do a similar voice. This is done often in animation.
Crispin Glover’s lawsuit against Back to the Future 2 could have set a precedent for image likeness, but he ended up settling, so it seems the industry is just avoiding this problem instead.
Doesn’t seem staged. The demo was imperfect in very normal ways. One imperfection was when it was referencing an old picture that he had earlier sent to the program.
I’d be more convinced it was staged if everything were perfect.
The only time I enjoyed a toxic fan base was for the show Under the Dome. Everyone seemed to hate watch the show and it made the whole thing more fun. The toxicity had the benefit of not being about social issues and just about how the show wasn’t high quality writing.
Off the top of my head, one thing people hated is that the main character hurt her leg and wore the bandage over her jeans.
He appears to have been radicalized. This other source shows his message that he posted to other people before the attack.
“Peace be upon the Messenger of God. May his peace, mercy, and blessings be upon you,” he wrote in Arabic.
“Brothers please forgive me for any time I have wronged you, I am going in the path of jihad tonight for the sake of Allah Azzawajal,” he then continued in English.
"I am a soldier of the Mujahideen of Al-Qaeda and take responsibility for the actions …
“If you have any illegal or jihadi things online or in real life please make sure to hide them.”
The first few episodes definitely hold up because it’s basically a solid 5 part movie. Kids will watch random episodes of shows, but they love and talk about arcs.
Skylar being in this group is low-key insane. She cheated on her narcissistic drug dealing murderous husband. The rest of these folks are murderers or magical torturers.
I think most “my kid made an interesting observation” stories sound fake, but this checks out for me.
When kids think of a “law man” they probably think of sheriffs and cops. When a kid overhears an adult mention “law school” they probably think it’s where a “lawman” went to school.
A top Hamas political official told The Associated Press the Islamic militant group is willing to agree to a truce of five years or more with Israel and that it would lay down its weapons and convert into a political party if an independent Palestinian state is established along pre-1967 borders.
