There may be times when we are powerless to prevent injustice, but there must never be a time when we fail to protest. | | | | Had a dream that Chuck D spit verses in Trump's face and just got louder every time POTUS said: "Excuse me." Chuck won.

| | rantnrave:// Find me someone that thinks deeper than the initial thought. In a hurry... With more parents working in the '70s and '80s, kids were often left on their own, ushering in a golden age of children's television shows to keep them entertained. So pour yourself a bowl of FROOT LOOPS, pull up your bean bag and enjoy the stories behind some of the best like DEGRASSI, SPONGEBOB, ALL THAT and others in "The Kids Are Alright: Children's TV Oral Histories"... TAYLOR SWIFT transformed herself from pop star to feminist hero with her testimony against a DJ she accused of groping her. Her legal victory inspired other sexual assault victims, but will others be able to follow in her path? "Taylor Swift Takes the Stand"... Hope some of the good people stole some of those tiki torches to make S'MORES... How will football be played in 20 years? Will eSports be mainstream? How will we watch the NHL? Will unicorns roam the NBA? The future is coming sooner than you think. We take at look at "The Future of Sports"... Talkers get taken down by talking. Wimpy white supremacist talkers cry as they get taken down... The hand movements, pointing, puckered mouth and over-enunciation of words are all tells of a liar who doesn't know what they're talking about... Happy Birthday to FRED DAVIS, MIKHAIL LAPUSHNER, BEN FRITZ, TATUM LADE, and LYNNE JOHNSON. and Belated to DONOVAN LEITCH, BEN BERRY, JENNA TRABULUS, SANDY SMALLENS, MO TOUEG, and LAURA GOLDBERG. | | | - Jason Hirschhorn, curator |
