He was good friends with Freddie, his partner had AIDS, and I believe he had also just found out that his mother had cancer :(

I think there is footage of him breaking down at the rehearsal a few weeks earlier, and he has said that he didn’t know if he could get through it. (Of course, in true GM fashion, he pulled…

My dad (a lifelong GM/Wham! fan who instilled that fanaticism in me) has always said, “If George covers your song, look out, because he’s going to do it better than you do.” As much as I love Queen and Freddie Mercury, that song is no exception :)

You’re definitely NOT mistaken - he was Labour Party his whole life and eviscerated people who thought Wham! were “Thatcherites,” as he called them. The “Choose Life” shirts were about enjoying life/anti-suicide in the UK at that time.

It feels silly to compare it to losing a friend, but I absolutely agree with you. He was such a brilliant, talented, and truly thoughtful man and truly underestimated by those who only knows Last Christmas or Wake Me Up. I am hard pressed to think of another celeb whose loss would hurt this much.

Fuck this awful year. I honestly cannot name another childhood favorite that I still listen to almost every day. George Michael was simply the best. I guess this is what I get for thinking nothing could hurt more than Bowie. RIP Yog.

Because why would they? He’s an idiot who’s going to rubber stamp every bad idea they’ve ever had, he appeals to their authoritarian ideals, and they care more about their side winning than they do about the country. They’re getting everything they want and they don’t care who gets hurt.

Lolwut? Trump had double the votes of any other candidate in Utah (unless the redlines you’re referring to are the ones in which black people are evil and women are broodmares).

The godfather was the Social Network? Are you forgetting Donnie Darko and Gary Jules’ ‘Mad World’? Have you no integrity, sir??

Yes! I smell ozone in the winter whenever my dumb cat sneaks up in the dead of night, puts his nose on mine, and static shocks the hell out of both of us.

Fuck you, pay me, and btw I’ve got the Department of Labor on speed dial!

YES PLEASE

The Pixies reunited while the show was still on! Didn’t they have a tour in 2005?

Girl, you know Leah Remini has that date triple circled in red marker on her calendar.

That’s literally the most dangerous thing we can do.

Honestly, when you think about the ramifications of militarized police combined with whatever white nationalist Trump appoints to run the DOJ, and then remember that the Republican governor of Maryland was willing to call in the tanks against the residents of the state’s largest city less than two years ago...it…

He was so busy trying to find articles 8-12 of the Constitution that he didn’t bother to read Article 2.

Not just a year. At least since 1998.

He, like many surgeons, is very adept in one very specific, small area. The man hasn’t been coherent in his entire life, including when my fourth grade class had to listen to him drone on about himself for three hours.

Ha, thanks. Fiance’s election night freakout was to say that we should get married that day. I said no because I didn’t want to get married on one of the worst days of my life. Later, I told him that we don’t know how much there’s going to be to enjoy in the coming years and people deserve to celebrate. A few of our…

I think she’s currently worried that there won’t be research money for when she’s in grad school - hopefully (given climate change is her biggest issue) by the time she’s out of school we’ll have reconstituted the EPA in some form :\
