This. The ICA proposed the exhibition to Schutz and her gallery two years ago and it’s been in the planning stages since. When the outcry over her “Open Casket” happened this spring, it was too late to cancel or postpone the show because of arrangements made with lenders. The ICA itself would have had to come up with…

Your argument is completely devoid of facts. The artists, who’s work you essentialize and categorically devalue, never “got mad” she simply defended her work. Painting is not above criticism but I have yet to see a single substantive criticism that actually engages with the painting instead of criticizing the white…

Yes well, these protesters kinda lost the high ground here when they started to ask for non controversial paintings to be removed as well. Or when they asked for the controversial painting to be destroyed. Sorry, but thats crossing so many lines that shouldn’t be crossed.

Right? I am not completely against the idea of a younger person being with an older person for money as long as both are going into it willingly and knowingly. But he is trying hard to sell the whole sugar daddy thing which makes me think if he got a bite he would blatantly lie for as long as he could. And getting sex…

It was all a joke. No one ever intended for the dog to be touched. It was just a joke that PETA exploited for its own benefit. The director explained it on his IG yesterday and a rep for the film released a statement explaining that the whole thing had been a joke. They thought it was funny because it would be so…

Wow, those directors really wanted to take their Edward/Jacob fanfiction to the next level...

I really just don’t have any patience for these one-child-policy distopian futures anymore. I’m living in a world where the first step to population control, easy access to birth control, is constantly being obstructed by people far dumber and more evil than the birth bureaucracy up there. Did we ever try the pills…

Censorship to the left of me,

So, this comment reveals that you have no idea at all how academia works.

I’m actually teaching right now, and let me tell you, a heck of a lot of time is spent on finding creatively-phrased ways to tell college students, “I want you to think about the many ways your question is stupid.” The language may be forced to be slightly edited/couched, but the sentiment is very much there,…

Fun fact (for those who don’t already know): During WW-I and WW-II native American speakers were inducted into the armed forces and trained as radio operators. Speaking Cherokee, Choctaw and Navajo to other “code talkers”, enemy intercept operators never figured out what they were hearing.

Well la di dah, LW 3, so fancy with your real life friends. WELL, SOME OF US HAVE TO COMMENT ON THE INTERNET FOR HUMAN INTERACTION, OK????

This. If Jon could speak like Renly or Littlefinger he’d have the throne in months- its kind of an intriguing flaw- in these sorts of tales everyone expects the St. Crispin’s Day or ID4 speech what if the hero can’t give that speech?

The only good thing that happened involving the sand snakes was when Olenna told them to shut the entire fuck up.

Jon is a fucking idiot, where the main trouble seems to be that he stumbles dick-first into lucky outcomes despite trying his hardest to screw himself over.

I really wish the writers would have Jon and Sansa have some constructive debates about their plans before they speak in front of all the lords, so that they can work out their disagreements in private and then present a unified front in public. Are there no PR people in The North?

It’s only “publicly undermining” in Jon’s eyes though, as the rest of the Northern lords clearly appreciate a king who will listen to those around him and entertain other points of view. Jon obviously wants her to support him in front of the lords, which is understandable, but those meetings are a place where anyone…

Also, Lady Mormont made the same exact objection in that council. But no one minds that.

Yup! Both are named after Nymeria, the warrior princess of the Rhoynar who invaded Dorne and made House Martell the ruling House in Dorne.

Marshall also claims he’s been distracted by personal issues, such as his wife’s battle with ovarian cancer
