...her comment was not meant to infer that she was being targeted because of her race.

This is why the level of controversy over the Oscars nominees being white seems so ludicrous to me. It’s an annual party where entertainers pat each other on the backs. The people eligible for back pats are selected by a large panel of elderly people.

If she wants to ask for a permanent injunction allowing her to breach the contract without paying for it, because enforcing the contract as it stands would be unconscionable or something like that, maybe you’re right.

That’s not even close to being “fair to say.” You’re comparing a motion for a preliminary injunction to a criminal prosecution.

If Kesha’s team can’t even get her off Kemosabe in the civil suit, they sure as fuck wouldn’t have been able to get a criminal verdict against Dr. Luke.

Let’s face it, Madeleine. You’re qualified to (1) write blog posts about celebrity gossip, (2) free-associate about feminist critical “theory,” and (3) very little else.

So a claim that one has been raped, even without evidence, should be enough to void a heavily negotiated, mutually beneficial contract?

Haha I had to resort to something similar when I replayed the Neverhood a couple years ago.

To be fair, she did publicly accuse him of having a tiny penis and wearing women’s underwear.

Anna—totally agree that honorary degrees are meaningless and fake.

Affirmative action is just one part of a larger set of actions needed to achieve social justice within our STEM and education fields.

I don’t get it. What’s disturbing about this? A guy might have been framed for two crimes? I mean, sure murder is bad and people being wrongfully convicted is bad, but none of this is really shocking.

Scalia and Thomas like this argument—they’ve both mentioned it in previous criticisms of AA. I think the most interesting thing about that is that it’s a totally illegitimate consideration according to Scalia’s own dissent in a case called Dickerson v. US, which SCOTUS decided in 2000. The court upheld the…
