“It was clearly perceived in ways that were never intended.”

Especially since it wasn’t even her song to begin with.

See also: Sydney Sweeney’s complaints. She literally just bought a $3 million home and is complaining that she can’t take a six month break from work - I don’t know (m)any people that can afford to take a six month break, and their homes cost considerably less than $3 million. 

There was a Pew Research study in 2019 that showed only 22% of Americans even HAVE a Twitter account, and of those, 90% tweet an average of 2 or fewer times per month. So basically 2% of the population controls what’s trending on Twitter. 

Do Russell Wilson, Dak Prescott, or Patrick Mahomes have a similar clause in their big money contracts? No, because no one has ever questioned their work ethic. I agree the Cardinals look like a joke of an organization for paying a guy they know isn’t fully committed a quarter billion, but it’s less about racism than…

The question about the constitutionality of the 15 week ban is more difficult with Roe and Casey in place. By throwing those out, the Justices of Gilead made the decision simple.

I see your Goatse and raise you a Tubgirl NFT.

You can’t ignore the violence that was perpetrated on women by men in that time.

Actually he’s always reminded me of the villain in Lazy Town (a weird Icelandic kids’ show):

They want to allow the states that are banning abortion to also ban contraception. And if they regain control of Congress and the White House, they will likely try to pass similar bans on the federal level.

I live in CA as well, and it’s less about the wording (which of course is carefully chosen) than the advertising. Uber et al. spent MILLIONS on that proposition.

Can I believe a corporate neoliberal Democrat would hire an anti-union CEO as Secretary of Labor?....

I think a lot of people would be fine with expansion packs/DLC that in no way reduces the experience of the base game that they pay full price for.
