Since it was brought up, in regards to teaching about race, the truth is it was at least brought up once in season 25 in an episode about racism….. which seems to have been completely forgotten about now.

Yeah, based on how the documentary turned out, I am surprised they didn't talk about that episode (or the fact that Maria and David were pretty much an interracial couple before Maria and Luis got together).

I mean, they had an hour and a half; there's only so much they could cover.

My final word on the Sunny Days documentary.
Yes, Sesame always made strides helping children cope in a world full of uncertainty.
But Mr. Rogers sometimes did a better job.
Sesame had lofty goals, but on the set was a great sense of fun. Now it seems like serious business. Or taking themselves a little too seriously.
When Jim was alive, the Muppets s had a far reach, but he could still laugh at himself.
As each year since 1990 went by, that faded.

So I watched Office Space for the first and time and…… wow. This movie was not afraid to expose just how toxic business life can be, especially in corporate office buildings.

So the only thing I disagreed with was Anthony (the skater) referring to the older man’s shirt as “gay” (he did own up to it in a follow up video though which I appreciate), but honestly this is the exact kind of reaction I would have if some random stranger felt entitled to taking my skateboard away and throwing it over the fence instead of letting the police handle it.

Remember that couple who had pyrotechnics are their baby's gender reveal party, and it resulted in sparking some of the wildfires that are currently burning out west?

Yeah, guess what? They're possibly facing 30 years in prison, not just for that, but for several other things as well - including the death of a firefighter.

Considering all that you did to a certain female vampire, and everything you put her through, it's not the least bit surprising.

No, I'm still not going to let you live it down.
