Who is it sexism against that you can’t pick a prince from a classic Disney movie out of a lineup? They’re all basically interchangeable.
Prince Charming from Snow White has no other characterization than his name. I don’t even remember the names of the ones from Cinderella and Sleeping Beauty–they’re inconsequential. I think Prince Eric from The Little Mermaid likes sailing.
The prince (does he have a name–and why isn’t he king?) from Beauty and the Beast has a character arc, but it’s he’s a mean beast to he’s a nice beast. He’s uninteresting when he’s no longer a beast.
Aladdin has characterization — but a big point of the plot is he’s a fake prince. If Simba counts (again, kind of a king) he’s also about the only one who gets good characterization (it’s the female in that one who is forgettable).
They play with this trope in Frozen. No one suspects the blank slate prince to be the bad guy (especially since he’s saves Elsa earlier for no other reason than to fool us, the audience).
Anyway, just thought it was interesting. I guess a reason for it is girls want to be princesses, but no boys want to be princes (they want to astronauts or firemen). Why spend time on the character no one cares about.

If there was a way to tackle climate change without anyone having to change any of their habits, it would make a lot of people angry.

Maybe one of the reasons for the rise in anti-Semitism is that there’s no mention of the Holocaust in the Harry Potter books and thus young people don’t know anything about it.

I guess the Dems are giving up on calling out Trump’s bigotry for 2020 because that would take too much house cleaning on their own side.

What if there was a billionaire, Jewish baby? The Dems would go nuts! That’s a combination of everything they hate!

With the Democrats full on embracing socialism and antisemitism, it’s hard not to think “Nazi,” so they should probably emphasize that their love of infanticide is colorblind.

We’ll soon look back wistfully on the days when the two political parties were just dumpster fires.

The Democrats don’t care about bigotry. They care about partisanship. If condemning bigotry doesn’t help them or hinder Republicans, it’s inconsequential to them. In the same vein, if Republicans find out railing about bigotry helps them political, they’ll never shut up about it.

I’m not the most knowledgeable person on foreign affairs, but yeah, why would someone from Somalia even care about Israel?

Why are they only condemning the hate of Pacific Islanders? Is it okay to hate Atlantic Islanders?

Democrats are the worst. And that’s quite an accomplishment because Republicans are pretty horrible.

It seems like it’s hard to have a child with Down syndrome and not become at least a little bit of an activist. You just want everyone to have love and respect.

Good news, everyone! Apparently no one is actually that worried about bigotry—at least it’s not a bigger concern than partisanship—so it can’t be that big of a problem.

I’d like to see Captain Marvel, but I’ve got four kids—one a newborn—so the logistics needed for getting to the theater is too much effort for a mid to lower tier Marvel movie. I can barely get out to see the ones everyone raves about.
I didn’t see Black Panther until I was able to rent it off Amazon Video. Made me feel like a racist.

There was a legitimate fear that the election of Trump would empower bigots, but I never imagined the biggest surge would be within the Democratic Party.

8yo daughter watches Captain Marvel trailer
“So it has a GIRL superhero? And she fights bad guys just like any boy?”
patting her on the head “Yep, pure scifi.”

Why are there never honest antisemites?

I got called “coach” today! My son’s tee-ball team is short-staffed so I helped out in the game. “Coach” has to be the greatest honorific after “dad.”
I don’t know anything about baseball. But I can ineptly heard 4 and 5 year olds into a batting lineup as good as anyone else.

Why are these fresh new faces already as blatant a liar as old man Harry Reid? I thought you had to work your way up to being that shameless.
I always thought the progression was you believe in something when you first get to Congress and then you get more cynical, but these people don’t seem to have anywhere to go down.

The way people seem to be covering for antisemitism is to demonstrate they can be hateful in other ways as well.

Who named vitamins A, B, C, D, and E? Was it 5pm on a Friday?

When people are acting unbelievably horrible, I think sadness is a better response than anger. Everyone is getting angry—especially the people acting horribly.

Things on Twitter matter. The funny jokes we share that brighten people’s day—that matters. When I shared my son has Down syndrome and I heard from so many other stories—that mattered. But all the outrages of the day and everyone expressing how angry they are—that doesn’t matter.

I’m on a parenting high. My oldest daughter had a completely different attitude in her softball game today (and hit a double), and I think it was because of the dad speech I gave her after her last game. We dads love to hear ourselves talk, but it’s usually to so little effect.

I always take people ranting against capitalism in the same vein as people ranting about how technology has ruined society. Despite their words, no one ever decides to live like the Amish.
Well, I guess the Amish do.

Raise the voting age to forty. I turn forty later this year, and I feel like I finally have enough wisdom about politics to make a good choice (I’ve stopped voting).

The people who run Walmart care about the poor an order of magnitude more than Warren because they get rich meeting the poor’s needs while all Warren wants are votes which she can get without materially benefiting anyone.
A vote is rather worthless compared to a dollar. You have to actually benefit someone to get their dollars—otherwise they’ll realize rather quickly they’re being scammed. Not so for a vote.

Thinking another economic system could lift as many people out of poverty as capitalism is like thinking a Barbie Power Wheel could beat a Ferrari in a race with a little bit of tweaking.

Q. Why is Vic Sage’s dog really annoying when he argues online?
A. Because he’s always “begging the Question.”
This is clever, but you might need to google it.

I don’t care for today’s pop music, but I guess the kids of every generation get their music called over-produced, soulless tripe.

“Resurrect the past. Use necromancy if you have to.” —probable line from Episode IX trailer

I didn’t realize it, but there’s yet to be a live action film adaptation of a video game that’s gotten a fresh rating (over 60%) on RottenTomatoes. There’s been a few that were profitable, but none very good. https://en.m.wikipedia.org/wiki/List_of_films_based_on_video_games
I remember the first few were bafflingly horrible, like Super Mario Bros and Street Fighter (saw both in the theater). Mortal Kombat—an Enter the Dragon rip-off with fantasy elements—was the first watchable one and is considered the best one ever going by Metacritic score.
(and who can forget the theme song with the scream of “Mortal Kombat!”?)
The live action video game adaptations with the highest RottenTomatoes score are the last two, Tomb Raider (51%) and Rampage (53%), and no really seemed to care for either.
Anyway, just thought it interesting that no one has cracked the code of how to make a movie from a video game and not make it terrible. Next up: Detective Pikachu. Considered more of a Pokémon movie, though; don’t know how many people played Detective Pikachu.
I was a little surprised that Super Mario Bros was the very first video game adaptation. I don’t know what they were trying to do with that movie, but you have to give them some credit for not playing it safe with one of the most famous franchises in the world.

If I had a billion dollars and people were all like “We hate billionaires!” to me, I’d have my robot army crush their bones. That’ll show them for having contempt. Contempt for all my money.

People who would never watch Tucker Carlson or FOX News have found more reasons to never watch.

Did Tucker Carlson say anything so bad it makes him worse than people searching through old transcripts trying to find things to be outraged about? Unless he was full on “Hitler did nothing wrong!”, I doubt it.

I think we’d all feel cheated if we got through the Trump presidency without a hilarious impeachment spectacle.

What were they going to impeach him for? General Trumpery?

When I look back on life before kids, it seems simple, easy, carefree, hollow, small.

Seriously, though, the people pushing for impeaching Trump, what are they going to impeach him for? Something something Russia?

If you can come with a solid high crime or misdemeanor (like perjury with Clinton), have at it I say! But right now it just seems like they think they can impeach him because they really really don’t like him.

You’re morally suspect if you even read the article or listened to the audio to find out what you’re supposed to be outraged about. Stop playing that game.

I don’t know how people even keep up. Does everyone get an emailer each day stating “Here is who we intensely hate today and claim to have always hated.”?

To me, the falsest note in the Aladdin trailer is not the blue Will Smith but the Jafar. No menace. Just sounds like they had a stand in do a quick line reads while they’re waiting to cast the part.

I’ve yet to see one of these Disney live-action remakes. I’m sure they’re perfectly cromulent movies, but there’s just something so cynical about the whole venture.

I propose that the federal government is too big and needs to be broken up. If elected president, I will divide it into at least fifty smaller pieces.

I spent a ton of money on a premium college and it was dumb. Go to a cheaper state college. Especially if you’re trying to learn something useful, like engineering.
Programming is probably one of the degrees you’ll get the best return on, but it should really be taught at a trade school.
I have to say though, I think my goal of getting into MIT (the smart college every knows about) really did motivate me to do well in high school.
I didn’t get into MIT, but I did good.
