This was one of the worst things ever. They didn't even try to have anything humorous. They gave themselves the Humanitarian Award. I didn't see the ending but it sounds like a perfect end to a terrible show.

The only way to solve this is to get Ricky Gervais or Dave Chapelle.

The menstrual cycle changes among Hassidic Jewish women was something as well.

Why should they change anything? The people who say the NEVER watch somehow always know everything about the ceremony.

The crisis consists precisely in the fact that the old is dying and the new cannot be born; in this interregnum a great variety of morbid symptoms appear.

First year that I can remember where I didn't watch any of it. Sounds like it was a good choice. I only had seen a handful of the movies and wasn't that interested in the others. I'd like to watch Sound of Metal on Amazon this week, that looks good. My wife and I watched Promising Young Woman yesterday. It was original at least which is more than I can say for most movies that come out. I didn't figure it would win best picture or anything but I think the writer won for screenplay.

It's more fun to be a victim

There will never be an effective vaccine. I'll never get one anyway.

You are lucky. Like MANY of the posters early in this thread, my TV mysteriously stayed tuned to ABC and I was tied to a chair forced to watch the entire thing. What a terrible evening.

Are you stoned or pissed off, or both, when you create these postings?

Is it now no longer acceptable to say that something on tv was poorly done?

Illinois’ political establishment is far out of touch with the general public on the racial dogma now forced on students from kindergarten through college. Yet a stunning two-thirds of Illinoisans say they don’t speak up, thereby ceding control to an intolerant, extremist minority.

The proof is in a poll released last month that was mostly buried and ignored by the press. It primarily addressed what schools now teach as unquestionable truth: critical race theory, also called anti-racism or wokism.

Illinoisans don’t like it. The American Council of Trustees and Alumni, which commissioned the poll, summarized their findings this way:

A majority  of respondents  favor equipping teachers to develop core skills and competencies over the encouragement of  progressive  political activism.  Illinoisans  also  favor  a curriculum that  focuses  on “American founding principles and . . . documents” over  one that  incorporates  key  tenets of the  New York Times’ 1619  Project.  At  the post secondary level,  strong  majorities  oppose reducing police presence on campus;  support viewpoint diversity; favor a merit-based application process;  and  prioritize  reducing the cost of tuition over expanding  diversity  and equity  programs.    

That’s completely at odds with mandates from the state’s politicians and education officials. The Illinois State Board of Education recently approved woke teaching standards with its “Culturally Responsive Teaching and Learning Standards” for K-12 education, and the state earlier made “implicit bias” training required by law for Illinois teachers.

For instance they were never taught that Columbus was a slave owner.
