David Harbour The “Stranger Things” star recently recalled an audition for the role of “The Blob” in “X-Men Origins: Wolverine,” in which the director said he was “worried about his health” after he jokingly lifted up his shirt. “I…

Bill Maher Lobbies for New Holiday: ‘I Didn’t Reproduce Day’ (Video)
Now that we have had Mother’s Day and Father’s Day, Bill Maher wants to set aside this Sunday to celebrate people who are neither with a new holiday that he’d like to call “I Didn’t Reproduce Day.” The “Real Time” comedian made it perfectly clear during Friday night’s show that he has nothing against having children because, after all, they are the “leaders of tomorrow.” But he thinks it’s time to celebrate single people with a holiday of their own. “We spent a lifetime being the cool aunts and uncles but while we celebrate everybody else nobody celebrates us, and…

Our Fear Of Black Men Is Racist, And It Killed Philando Castile

This was communicated in many subtle and not-so-subtle ways, from my sweet-as-pie grandmother whispering the word “Black” like she was afraid one of “them” would hear her, to the myriad ways our media, from entertainment to the news, portray Black men as dangerous. This fear of Black men was perpetuated by unfamiliarity. I grew up in the rural Midwest, in a middle class family. The neighborhoods I lived in and the schools I went to were almost entirely White. I interacted with Black people…

The report of a 6.8 magnitude quake in the Pacific Ocean near Santa Barbara sent around 4:51 p.m. PT sent Twitter into a panic, but it was actually referring to one that happened in the same area 92 years ago. The false alarm occurred when the staffer tried to correct the exact location of the Prohibition-era Santa Barbara earthquake in 1925, according to the Los Angeles Times, which tweeted a news alert and then quickly retracted it.

American Exceptionalism: An Oxymoron?
Note: The video below may be disturbing for some viewers. Back in the days when this land was still infected with the disease of slavery, many African-American mothers chose to drown their children rather than subject them the hardships of bondage they’d endured. This was considered a merciful act. Is America once again in a place where today’s bearers of our future generations will be forced to make such a decision? I pray not. But I just saw the dashcam video of the shooting of Philando Castile. You remember him, right? He was the African-American man shot by Jeronimo Yanez,…
