Foley, who has been dead for some time and is not one of her former bandmates who has been denying that the incident occurred?

I don’t think it was 16-year-old Joan Jett’s responsibility to stop a rape from occurring (though she stated that if it happened, and she was there, she would have bashed a chair over his head or something equally as idealistically heroic as that). It’s the idea that she may have been present and is ignoring/denying…

Christ

Jett’s words reminded me of Mark Walhberg’s statement about how he would have overthrown the terrorists that crashed into the World Trade Center had he been on the flight. At best, Joan is saying that she wasn’t there, but if she was, she would have been the hero. That’s assuming her recollection is truthful.

Critique of wage disparity among race and gender aside

Record stores have actually had quite the recession within the past few years! Can’t really speak for cassettes and CD’s but records have that mechanical/ hipster-y flair.

Yeah, it would be a huge coincidence for the store name to exist independently of the meme, and it’s an even bigger stretch that the owner would be aware of the meme but take it at face value instead of understanding what it’s criticizing.

The issue of proper bathrooms (and bathroom predators!) will be brought up ad nauseam, maybe?

Oh, go sit in your chair, as you white men do.

I’m also on board with the notion that children might see their parent(s) as wholesale heroes and it’s Scout’s understanding of her father that changes, not his personality.

I dreamed that they were at my family Thanksgiving and were chill as fuck :-)

The random capitalized words made me work to read that tweet. I kept reading “there are no vaccine” as an independent clause.

I’m seriously so glad that she appropriately criticizes the industry instead of being afraid to bite the hand that (eventually) fed her.

But refusing to argue with a passionate, misinformed individual makes you the ~*~true bigot~*~ you know?

I love that the writer somehow got “shark” from that image and text

Few people know that the decision to fly the flag was actually tied in with the explosive introduction of the Beatles in England!

“biologically trans”

I mean every time someone has asked this, people have answered thoughtfully within a few minutes (look! they’re doing it now!) so maybe you’re not looking hard enough, or perhaps don’t/don’t want to understand their arguments?

But Young supports Sanders, so is he back to being your friend or what

I love that the discount is basically treated like health insurance. “What, you thought there would be even one perk to being a member of our staff?”
