Oscar Boycott?

The Oscars are once again being scrutinized as the whitest in the film business. After all these years, there appears to be little improvement with diversity in the media.

There will not be much biking to work this week. A Brutally cold start to the work week turns into hard labor .

When women rule the world, it will probably be a kinder, gentler place to live in. Wake up, world, the greater gender is already the clear majority.

Not only in politics, but in math and science, and it now turns out male teachers have been outnumbered inside the classroom.

That glass ceiling everyone talks about is going to be dismantled and reassembled as a retractable skylight, presumably so our female bosses can have their herb garden with better northern exposure.
