I have always liked categorical statements that are obviously wrong.When someone says to me "This is the way the world works," I get very excited, even though of course nobody knows how the world works.Or, even better: "There are only two types of people in the world."This statement is usually followed by two binary qualities that could be used to define and divide all of humanity.

A little after 5pm on Tuesday, a young boy in a Real Madrid strip trotted on to a damp neighbourhood football pitch in the centre of the Spanish capital, oblivious to both the racism flung at the man whose name he wore on his back, and to the national and international debate it had generated.We haven't told him about the Vinicius thing yet, said Mohamed's mother, Milene Dos Santos, as she and her husband looked on from the sidelines.

I have this theory.If you self-identify as a dog person, you have stereotypically cat characteristics: self-sufficient, transactional, fickle, aloof.People who prefer cats, meanwhile, are warm, friendly and open with their love.My thinking is that we gravitate to those qualities that we feel we don't possess.

When a child is born, their birth certificate marks them as "M" or "F."Once they're out of onesies, caregivers often dress them up in either pants or dresses, depending on that gender marker.At their first birthday, they might receive dolls instead of toy cars, or vice versa.Even before their birth, friends and family may have celebrated with blue or pink cake at a gender reveal party.

There are a lot of tropes about fathers, but one tends to stick out the most: the distant dad.He's there, he's present - sort of - but he seems far away.He's the dad on Stranger Things who reads the paper at breakfast and doesn't really seem to engage with his family; he's the dad who comes home from work and immediately retreats to the den.

Over its 34 seasons, Fox's The Simpsons has failed spectacularly in representing trans people.That's the conclusion of trans YouTuber Lily Simpson (no relation to the cartoon family) in a new video essay about the show's depiction of trans characters and trans issues.In the 43-minute examination, Simpson, who writes and vlogs about pop culture and trans issues, attempts to answer the question "Where is the trans stuff in The Simpsons?" by breaking down trans representation into three categories: trans episodes, trans characters, and trans gags or jokes.

From the moment D'Angelo Russell entered the NBA as a 19-year-old rookie with the Lakers, it's always been clear that he's both a free spirit, and someone prone to a level of candor so honest that occasionally even teammates worry about it.Like at All-Star weekend back in 2016, when Jordan Clarkson interrupted a joint interview both were doing to tell his then-backcourt mate "don't say anything crazy."

In my life as a rabbi, it's quite common for me to hear Jews passionately expressing their dissatisfaction with the latest portrayal of Jews in the mass media: from the Netflix film "You People" to The New York Times coverage of Hasidic schools to Fox News host Tucker Carlson's gleeful promotion of Jewish anti-LGBTQ influencer Chaya Raichik.
