But, what percentage of Spotify users are in your situation? (not that you or I can really tell).   If your "I'm investing more in music (live and recorded) than ever before due to Spotify" model isn't being adopted by a significant number of people, then "that's nice, but who gives a fuck?"    On the other hand, if…

Spotify is awful, but what is anyone going to do?   There's been a huge shift in how music is consumed and basically the value of music content has been greatly reduced.   This isn't just some phase, IMO.   It's here to stay for nearly all artists.

Won't more and more original programming just eventually lead to increased cost as Netlfix becomes a sort-of cable channel?   I see more attempts to sell different Netflix models in the future - $7.99 for a good amount of streaming but not unlimited, $10.99 for unlimited 3rd party content, $14.99 for unlimited 3rd…

What?   Completely shocked.   Obviously people die of heart attacks all the time, so not shocked in that sense, but still, just surprised looking at the news headlines.

I loved the Pete-Bob stuff.    Love that Bob won't be pushed around easily.   And, I thought it was incredible how Pete handled the situation, masterful game playing, giving up a chance to get Bob fired, letting go of his homophobia (which I thought was more reactioary than embedded), taking a very broad and nuanced…

 "I've been looking forward to the Bob scenes each episode, but I think most of the pieces of his character are now in place. He carries a deep, private yearning with him while clinging to the belief (with only mild success so far) that if he gives himself completely to…

She wasn't sloppily chubby though.  She was "thick" in the best sense of the word.   Had an amazon body, which was well proportioned and smooth.  That body type can sometimes age okay, and sometimes it just turns into sloppily fat/chubby.   She has smokin'.  Seriously, she was incredibly hot/beautiful during the Guess…

Sal's never coming back.

Era Vulgaris is my favorite QOTSA album.   I mean, I love all of them, but Era stands out.  Don't know why, but I love it.

The entire show would fall apart if Fitz and Olivia actually got together.

I love that moniker - Vice President Bitch.  They should work that into an episode of Veep.

Seriously, it's not supposed to be THAT realistic or stand up to close scrutiny.  It's fiction, just like Lord of the Rings or Star Wars, so take it all with a grain of salt.  Because it's based on characters out of real life (there really is a president, CIA agents, professional fixers, etc.) and deals with…

I don't really understand the whole Albatross thing (at all, really), and surprisingly, it hasn't mattered in my enjoyment of the show.   I started watching Scandal this season at a friend's recommendation, and still have not watched Season 1, which apparently matters in completely understanding Albatross.

I sort of agree.   But, that sort of relationship (spouses/partners seem to hate ech other), while not the majority, isn't exactly rare.   And, isn't it just the flip side of partners/spouses who are completely indifferent towards each other - another type of relationship that isn't rare, where you could ask "why are…

Because lots of women hate other women?  Because women like to judge other women and say "that couldn't be me"?   It's not that difficult.

That made me laugh.

What does "ship" mean?  Lol.  I honestly don't know.

Lol.  That's great.

That made me laugh.

As long as the white kids weren't in black face, it's fine.
