The backlash began pouring in after Trameka Brown-Berryone, a distressed black parent, posted a photo of the homework assignment to along with a caption asking “Does anyone else find my 4th grader’s homework offensive?” Her 9-year-old son’s answer was a definitive “I feel there is no good reason for slavery.” Brown-Berryone was still “in shock” that the school would send such an assignment home when she told local news station WISN that the question put both black and non-black students in an awful position by reinforcing a “mentality of not being able to see from another perspective…that’s what’s dangerous....

I’m Out of my League “My wife is a nurse, so she’s on the front lines. She’s amazing. But that leaves me at home with my job — I’m in IT— and two toddlers. To be honest, I could do the IT stuff in my sleep. But the childcare aspect is just brutal. Going from having kids in school and daycare all day, to having them in your face is like going 0-60 right into a brick wall....

I had experienced enough with our first child to know that after we put our daughter in daycare, there were going to be days I picked her up and learned that she had hit some milestone that her mother and I had missed. I knew this but hadn’t handled it. Then that day came. I walked into the daycare and her provider told me that Rona, then just nine months old, had stood up....

Instead, it can be attributed to an orchestrated backward quantum leap to help promote a new television show. Here’s what went down. If you were in the Santa Monica Blvd. and Vine area in Los Angeles on September 14, you might have noticed that the Mobil station on that corner had a whole new look. Well, not new but familiar—cars were in a very long queue that wrapped around the block, according to Business Insider....

Before we look at Marvel’s surprisingly small role in Endgame, let’s look at why people assumed she would have a big role in the first place. The biggest reason that most of us assumed Captain Marvel would have a massive presence in Endgame‘s endgame was her sudden and mysterious prominence in the larger MCU canon, starting with Nick Fury reaching out to her just as he was about to disintegrate at the end of Infinity War....

Even with meme-sharing becoming the go-to form of communication in the ever-growing online ecosystem, either because of pain, or laughter, or collective exasperation, the actual people in the memes rarely get any real credit or compensation for their cultural contributions — leaving their image to be shared without profit or benefit. But that may finally be changing, as Zoë Roth, otherwise known as “Disaster Girl” recently managed to make half a million dollars as a four-year-old face of the meme....

“He [Benji] plays Fortnite online with Ethan,” Pegg told Cinema Blend over the weekend, in an interview promoting the upcoming new film, Mission: Impossible — Fallout. “And he’s better —in Fortnite — he’s better at fighting than Ethan[Tom Cruise]. Ethan’s had like two kills, max. Benji had a game with, like, 12 kills.” A longtime gamer, it makes sense that Pegg would rep for Fornite, the popular online multiplayer battle-royal game that has, for better or worse, taken the world by storm since 2017....

On Monday, The Hollywood Reporter all-but-confirmed the news and cited the fact that “the actor bowed out of an upcoming sci-fi and pop culture convention citing a conflict with a movie schedule.” The conventional wisdom is this: If Williams is canceling appearances to sign autographs for Star Wars fans, then that means he’s probably in a new Star Wars movie. Though this will be Williams’s first appearance as Lando in a live-action Star Wars project since 1983’s Return of the Jedi, he’s played the voice of Lando as recently as a 2015 episode of the animated series Star Wars Rebels....

In short, I’ve had nearly a decade of polar exposure, and frankly I’ve been waiting for the years to soften my objection, to make me start thinking, “Enh, this isn’t so bad!” like I did with The Phantom Menace and Taylor Swift and Honda Odysseys. But you know what? It never happened. The movie is still a creepers death-ride through an Arctic hellscape, and it continues to make me want to scream, tear my hair out, and throw around Salvation Army buckets....

After episode 4 of WandaVision, we learn that Monica Rambeau was an agent of SWORD before being sucked into the kooky reality-bending anomaly of Westview.

According to NBC, the Texas Senate committee heard a bill that would criminalize medical care for trans youth throughout the state. The bill is attempting to remove the vital care for trans kids in the medical field. This includes gender-affirming medications and procedures. This bill would also redefine child abuse to include medical care for “the purpose of gender transitioning.” If this bill were to pass, it would make hormone replacement therapy, puberty suppression drugs, and medical or surgical procedures to anyone under 18 years old a crime....

Express Gratitude to Your Partner Raising kids is tough, exhausting work that often goes unrewarded. One of the easiest things new parents can do for one another is show appreciation and gratitude for their partner. Did they nail that bedtime routine? Tell them. Did they expertly handle a tantrum or cry-fest? Tell them. Parents often stroke kids and acknowledge their terrific poem or great game they played, but we don’t acknowledge what we appreciate about our partners....
