I'm not saying the criticism wasn't valid. She was probably right on the mark. But what do you expect when you get a male director/producer to make a lesbian romance film?

I'm reminded of a recent Nerdist podcast where George R. R. Martin gave some advice to new authors who are offered tv and movie deals around their books: You can say "no." If you're not famous enough to demand and receive creative control, film and TV people WILL change or fuck up your work, so just decline. You have

I think they only adjusted for inflation based on the on the old price instead of what the actual real estate cost would be.

Need to bring back the Proop-Dogg for at least an episode or two.

Okay, I get it, [celebrity] is an interesting person for some people. However, don't you think he/she has gotten her face on the main page a tad too often? There are other things going on in the world of [subject matter], [subject matter], etc. that I am sure we could be covering instead of him/her for the [hyperbole]

What, enjoy something something on its own value without bringing your personal emotional and intellectual baggage along with you? What do you think this is? Once you've decided you don't like someone you need express that deep abiding disgust each and every time they're mentioned in public. You need to let it affect

Welcome to the internet. Where doing or saying a shitty thing is etched in stone forever. Where being less than perfect is the same as being the worst person in the world. Where every puss filled scab you've ever had is picked open anew each time your name is mentioned where people can leave comments.

I wrote the following after reading one of these hand wringing pieces about my generation on NPR that frustrated the hell out of me. It's self indulgent and angry and kinda clumsy, yea, but if you can't write like this in your twenties, when can you?

That Yoko remix album from 2007 is still one of my go-to jams for a least a few songs.

I stopped watching Family Guy because the creators treat all of the characters like shit. Yea, Meg is a punching bag, but all of the characters go through awful things for cheap laughs which don't matter by the time the commercial break is over. It's impossible to care about what happens to anyone on that show.

Seriously, they can't talk about how fucked up our state is. Only WE can talk about how fucked up our state is.

Dude, take some time off from the internet. You are drinking the MRA kool-aid hardcore.

And it's such a shame we live in a society where you're obligated to watch and listen to everything she does.

Maybe it's a little of column A, little of column B.

You need to check your perspective if Miley Cyrus is able to rustle your jimmies.

Well, playing video games for a living certainly doesn't do your body any favors. I'm not predisposed to weight gain but I'm already feeling negative affects from my 12 hour a day office job I took a year ago.

What is that gif from?

From my perspective, she's never made the south look good. But then, the food my cajun grandmother made puts her disposable, butter drowned, funhouse mirror take on southern soul food to complete shame. (Which was, as I've come to find, one upped by the food my black friends' grandmothers made for them.)

And as we know, strip clubs are not IN ANY WAY guilty of promoting dehumanizing cultural norms concerning male/female relations. Nope, no room for societal criticism or self reflection at all. Everything is fine. Sexism is over.
