And that wasn’t the original co-star. Maya Erskine was a replacement for Jane when Phoebe Waller-Bridge left the production. Waller-Birdge was originally cast Jane. So the characters would have been a biracial couple.

I glanced briefly at the list of TV examples. As a Trekkie I must point out that in “The Gamesters of Triskelion” (the version that got filmed) we are told the Thrall assigned to Uhura is ordered to do whatever he wants and that Uhura must comply. All you see is an off-screen cut away with screaming in the background. This isn’t usually discussed among the fandom but that was clearly rape. Uhura was raped in that episode. Let that sink-in.

I think the most over the top thing Colbert did on that show was the episode on the funeral industry.

If Trump thinks this is genuine, then he really isn’t very bright.

As an Asian American, I am truly sorry for that. I can’t personally speak well on the subject but I always encourage people to read this NPR article from 2017.

I saw multiple instances this year of teens wearing those inflatable arm cuffs for swimming that you give little kids.

I had a comment about Calvinball I was going to make… but I can’t recall the topic of the article I read years ago anymore that mentioned it.

I’ve seen a British comedy that had this as a joke. But the movie was a sleezebag of a comedy. All about a dude that works at a grocery story at night, gains the ability to freeze time and messes with the women he sees shopping. I am glad I can’t remember the title.
