Is "Alice" the worst sitcom remake ever?
I think "The Odd Couple" is the best—I like the sitcom better than the movie.

At Sarah Lawrence College, where Campbell taught, we had many protests against honoring his "legacy" of racism and antisemitism in the late 1980s.
My mom was so sad when I filled her in on it, because she just ate up his bullshit via PBS.

Here he is after calling out MTV for being racist & then using his death stare on the interviewer which the camera operator then amplifies to the max with an incredible crash zoom:

The tipped minimum wage has been $2.13 for over 30 years, but Bernard @sanders.senate.gov never talks about that.
Congratulations to the 19 states raising the minimum wage in 2026.
But let’s be clear: a $7.25 federal minimum wage is a national disgrace.
No one who works full-time should live in poverty. We must keep fighting to guarantee all workers a living wage — not starvation wages.

As the federal minimum wage languishes, 20 states are on their way to a $15 wage floor if they haven't reached it already.

I wish I could find the Bujold quote that goes something like, "Creation is the province of the divine and those touched by it. Evil cannot create. It can only imitate, poorly and without comprehension, that which the divine has brought into this world."
Mussolini said it best when he stated that fascism had no inherent theology and must adopt an existing one.
Fascism can’t create anything new or authentic, all it can do is co-opt and corrupt existing symbols, myths, and institutions.
The swastika, the fasce, even their antisemitism is stolen.
