As I understand this, it was a ruling against her request for a preliminary injunction to record music outside of Dr. Luke/Sony. The judge quite rightly denied that request. The judge also quite rightly denied Dr. Luke’s request to throw out the sexual assault claims. She can still win after she submits proof of her…

My heart goes out to Kesha, but it sounds the judge’s hands were tied. This case was strictly a matter of contract law. If the judge ruled in the artist’s favor, she would be setting precedent that any contract could be broken simply by alleging- not proving, simply alleging- abuse.

Can we blind him then?

I’m not aware of Ancestry’s connection with “the government” but I do know they’re connected to the Mormon (LDS) church. In frankness giving the Mormons my DNA scares me more than giving it to “the government”.

It’s interesting, but those who were similarly ambivalent about Cosby were pretty much dismissed.

Yeah, but this is inapplicable to her. She still believes, as an adult, that it was not coercion. It bothers me when people take the narrative away from the person they are claiming was a victim. It’s her story and her decision to determine whether she was a victim or not.

Thirded. A lot of feminist/social justice writing refuses to acknowledge the grey, when most things are grey.

I appreciate your willingness to write a story that reflects deep ambivalence.

I appreciate your willingness to write a story that reflects deep ambivalence. I think there isn’t enough of that anymore (everything is always strident and polarized) but you did a great job sitting with the murkiness of what this all means about Bowie’s legacy.

It is if you’re the kind of person to get a Mac for game development in the first place.

God, please don’t. There’s enough bs out there telling pregnant women all the myriad things they shouldn’t do, eat, etc. Studies have linked Fetal Alcohol Syndrome to binge drinking, but unless you know an alcoholic who should be getting sober anyway, my recommendation would be to leave your friends alone.

I’m guessing when he saw the ref at the last second, he thought it was an opposing player. So the hit was “intentional”, but he didn’t intend to hit a ref. Looks like a minor concussion to me.

What’s the big deal? This was only like 3% more depressing than any of the other Cub games that Scott watched.

JFK shot himself to frame Oswald.

I posted this before, forgot if it was here or facebook. Retread follows:

All the stars in the world for this comment.

How does society continue to act like it does? As far as I can tell there is a distinct change and progressive trend in modern society’s attitudes towards racism, cultural appropriation, etc over the decades.

I spread nutella on a tortilla, stick a banana in there and wrap it up, fry it in a pan with some non-stick spray, and when done, roll in sugar and cinnamon. Serve with some ice cream, and it is delicious! I’ll have to try the spring roll version too.
