Latest Dumb School Assignment
A Texas school is putting a stop to a chivalry assignment that required students to follow medieval chivalry codes to see how those concepts carry over to modern day. The problem is the rules required the girls to
dress in “a feminine manner to please the men” and “never criticize a male,” “initiate a conversation” or “whine.” It directed them to “walk behind men or walk daintily, as if their feet were bound.” And they were told to cook, clean and “obey any reasonable request of a male.
In Texas this is called a Tuesday.
Here’s a really … interesting … assignment on chivalry from @shallowaterisd. They are requiring the female students to lower their heads and curtsy for men; clean up after men; cook for and bring a drink to the men’s class. This goes on for the entire day … even at home. pic.twitter.com/i81Zr2iAva

Scott Baio vs Patton Oswalt on Twitter
Scott Baio and Patton Oswalt traded insults on twitter. It all started when Patton tweeted a joke making fun of MAGAs and name checking Baio.
Chachi shot back that Oswalt has Trump Derangement Syndrome and STDs. This prompted Patton to accuse Baio of being pathetic searching for his own name on Twitter. And Baio gets one more shot in calling Patton a fat ugly shithead and attaching evidence that he wasn’t self searching.
This speaks for itself doesn’t it? Just Enjoy.
Guys, I’m at the DuPont Circle Pinkberry for the #TrumpInauguration. I’m here with four Proud Boys, their moms and Scott Baio. Did we get the address wrong? Help me out, this Minuteman costume is super-itchy.

Oh YIKES. I didn’t even “@“ this guy. Poor sap searches his name on Twitter. No one dunk on him, this is really depressing. BUGSY MALONE’s still a great movie, right? pic.twitter.com/sFrvxb0XA3

TCM Holding Inappropriate Film Festival
Rather than cancel classic films with problems in them, TCM is holding a four night event, where they show classic films that have culturally problematic scenes, and discuss them, tackling the issues that make the films bad fits in modern times. The series, called REFRAMED, will highlight movies like The Jazz Singer, Breakfast at Tiffanys, Psycho, My Fair Lady, and Guess Who’s Coming to Dinner.
TCM doing its best to get itself cancelled. More like Turner Cancelled Movies, amirite?
