Because she’s still their grandmother and they love her. Acknowledging someone’s faults so you don’t repeat them doesn’t mean that you stop loving them.

They’ve been pretty clear from the beginning that their beef isn’t with the Queen. It’s with the British press, the people in the palace working behind the scenes and…

Comedy is all about observing and reporting on culture, in ways mundane and profound. If you don’t understand that culture, or refuse to engage with it, what the fuck are you doing as a comedian?

Putting aside all the hot takes of “is cancel culture real or not,” Katt’s analysis is dead-on. Comedy is an artform that relies on the sensibilities of the audience as much as it does on the sensibilities of the comedian, and if you can’t cultivate an audience then maybe it’s just not the gig for you. There are…

He’d already been working on the book for 8 long years before he got to see that reaction. If it’s a motivation issue, it had hit years earlier.

Why would anyone want a shoe dedicated to someone else's dead child? A Kobe shoe I understand, but his dead child?

Billy Wilder was a master. He had a special talent for finding just the right mix of comedy and tragedy. It’s amazing that he directed most of his films in his third language.

Such an interesting comment to me, “I’d still prefer a white Death” with no reflection whatsoever. And it’s got stars. Not surprised that is popular sentiment around here. You may feel like you’re stating a harmless preference, but our preferences are inevitably influenced by our society’s long history of white…

I just hope they retain Death’s style; it’s about time Black goths got their time in the shade.

I think a big part of it, as Clarke mentions, is that Barton is a LOT younger than the rest of the cast.

Agreed. They should wait until he’s at least 90.

Yes, but in a tragic twist, that kid grew up to be Shia LaBeouf

Please, we only have one perfect film and that’s Raiders. I’ve never understood the love for films 2 and 3 in any way. 

I think part of the issue is also that Evan isn’t supposed to be cool. Ryan in the OC is cool. Luke Perry on 90210 was cool. Even Rizzo in Grease, cool. So we expect them to look worldly and adult in a way high schoolers don’t. A filled out, adult Evan looks too healthy.

I think Catholics and conservatives would have been very, very pissed off at Kurt Cobain or Eddie Vedder if it had been them. I also think it wouldn’t have hurt their careers at all - sure there’s going to be some fall out but it would also enhance their grunge street cred, and rock and roll has always loved the rebel…

The full context of that quote (because, fucking Newswires):

Pretty sure those were rhetorical questions anyway, but to answer both: “yes.”  And it is very cruel, but that’s what they do.

Gates Foundation has also done a lot to eradicate polio (a disease which remains a problem in developing countries) and to control HIV. It also works to reduce poverty, provide educational resources, all kinds of stuff. It’s not a purely performative charity, though I get why someone who doesn’t know might think so.

She did say ‘no thanks’, multiple times. He physically and sexually assaulted her anyway. Read the report. https://babe.net/2018/01/13/aziz-ansari-28355
