She entered the season with a goal of 87 World Cup victories but because of injuries, she finished with 82. It’s nothing to complain about because Vonn currently holds the women’s record in skiing.

Whoopi Goldberg, the Holocaust, and Education

Instead of suspending Whoopi Goldberg from The View, ABC would have done better to encourage more Holocaust education in programming. The thing that comes with being a Jewish critic means always having to chime in when a celebrity makes antisemitic comments or denies/distorts the Holocaust. Here I am once again finding myself writing about Whoopi Goldberg. Personally, I felt her apology on Tuesday’s episode of The View was satisfactory. It felt like she had shown…

Whoopi Goldberg Doubles Down On The Late Show

While Whoopi Goldberg posted an apology on Twitter yesterday evening, it came after taping an appearance on The Late Show with Stephen Colbert. The Late Show posted the clip of their conversation on YouTube. One comment that Goldberg makes is that the Nazis couldn’t tell who was Jewish. Colbert asked her if the Nazis saw it as race.

The Weight of Gold is a documentary that seeks to explore Olympic athletes and what going for gold means for their mental health.

The film brought mental health into the conversation just one year before the same subject would dominate the Summer…

The thing I love about this movie is that there isn’t necessarily a villain. Tina Harwood (Kim Cattrall) does come off as an…
