She’s a critically acclaimed artists who’s been nominated for a Grammy award but she still doesn’t feel appreciated. Won’t someone think of the rich white women who have had instant success and almost every thing handed to them! 

I’m mostly stunned that in her follow up to the original drama, she went and named ANOTHER WOMAN OF COLOR. 

I think she’s made it obvious she wants the critical respect given to FKA Twigs without putting in the cultural work of FKA Twigs (who spent a year learning pole dancing to do it justice)

Sometimes there are not two sides in a “debate” because one of them is just wrong.  She is telling women to shut up about white privilege - black women.  That’s not a debate.  That is being bigoted whether she likes it or not.  She could have acknowledged her intent wasn’t the impact, copped to the fact her language…

“As of 2020, Del Rey has sold 19.1 million albums and over 13 million singles worldwide, while her YouTube and Vevo pages have combined lifetime views of 4.1 billion.”

This is one of those things where “debate" is actually code for unconditional approval. It’s a notoriously popular tactic for assholes who want to tweet all day without repercussions.

She’s saying that all the women she mentioned are rough and tough and not delicate like her. It’s super coded racial language about white women being soft and black women being tough. I’m pretty sure Ariana was only included so as to not be so obviously racist. It’s the kind of criticism that can only come from not…

If we can’t genuinely self-reflect after making a statement fraught with racism, intentional or not, we’re not going to have much of a society. OH guess what, that’s happening right now.

They might only be a thing in hotter parts of the country. 

Outdoor misting systems at restaurants?

Ah, yes, middle seats on airplanes are going to go away permanently.

I’ve listened to a lot of Halsey but not a lot of Lana Del Rey. If you take the latter’s characterization of her own music at face value, I think you could put Halsey’s lyrical content in the same category.

She really did not need to name these people  in her little rant. She should just focus on her music instead of this “it’s not fair! why do they get to sing about sex and I just want to sing about lexapro and I get criticized” As if all of those women don’t get criticized for the content of their music too.

strong Lena Dunham vibes from Alison Roman, so I imagine we’ll just hear shit like this again. and again. and again.

As a woman with endometriosis may I be the first to say FUCK THIS.

I have a theory that people just get obsessed with the first “grown up” show they watch as a youth. I think it explains sitcom’s weird demographic mismatch; older Millenials and Seinfeld of Fraiser, younger Millennials and Friends, and Zoomers with The Office.

I thought that was Jim Belushi for more a than a second.

I think Harry is missing having a structure to his life right now

I don’t recall seeing many stories about how lonely it must’ve been for Meghan to leave her family (the non-trashy ones) and friends on this continent to move to London and get trashed by the English press.

Your English is more than fine. For me this is the type of story I read and then ask myself, “how cute would this story be if the genders were reversed?”.
