Does this mean we’ll have to start new accounts? And only paying accounts will be able to comment?

the artists are chosen for reasons other than their skills.

Not the comment, the general sentiment about nepo babies: “if anything, nepo babies are one of the few uniting causes between parties (well, outside the nepo babies themselves). we can all agree that it’s fucked they get advantages and that some of the truly talented will never get the same recognition.”

What if the family business is an incredibly successful company that makes a lot of money, or a successful law firm? Is there a dollar amount where kids getting a leg up by going into their parents’ business/sector starts making you mad? Genuinely curious.

It’s also pretty common for people to go into similar fields as their parents, not just because it opens doors for them but because sometimes people are like their parents and have similar interests. Do you feel equally angry about the people who take over the family business if a successful store and not being an…

This.

Oh look, it’s Mo’Nique picking fights with everyone she knows, again.

I don’t think they could have just given money to the school. That’s for the super duper rich who have anywhere from 5 to 20 million to spare to get their kid into a good school. Huffman and Macy are indie movie and TV show rich, not gazillionaires. Aunt Becky and Mossimo on the other hand probably could have donated…

That’s still no excuse for adults to harass a 12 year-old on his personal profile. That’s just fucking pathetic and embarrassing and so much worse than a celebrity fundraising for a kid’s sports team.

The dog whistle is the phrase “from the river to the sea” but you know that. 

“from the river to the sea” and other variations of that phrase. Look it up. 

Look at you, thinking you’re so slick using a well known antisemitic dog whistle.

A spokesperson for Fetterman then gave Business Insider a frankly ridiculous statement, claiming Fetterman “strongly supports a two-state solution in Israel and Palestine, and always has” but that he “strongly believes that this resolution should include language stipulating the destruction of Hamas as a precondition…

it was hard to see these (mostly white) MomTokkers quickly mobilize a boycott against a relatively small baby apparel company while ignoring the multiple boycotts currently taking place to support mothers and babies in Gaza, where newborns are facing increasingly dire odds.

Unless you consider that her being left ouf of the best director category altogether was also a snub, and I do. The Academy consistently fails to recognize women directors and only 8 have ever been nominated.

LOL don’t be ridiculous. A good song is a good song, regardless of whether or not the artist is an asshole. You can choose not to listen based on moral opposition to the asshole-ness if that’s your thing but it doesn’t alter the music.

“Am I interested in what the remainder of Everything I Thought It Was might sound like? Not really. Could I be if Timberlake happened to acknowledge the harm he’s perpetrated against Spears (Janet Jackson and any other to whom it applies, too) and properly atoned for them? Yes. Because that would be actual…

For fuck’s sake, not everything is about Gaza and abortion rights in the US are are already threatened enough, the issue doesn’t need to be held hostage by the war in Gaza.

And hers was far from the most memorable female performance in Barbie, which makes the fact that she was chosen as the sole actress nominated even more bizarre. But then like I said in another comment, I don’t think any of the Barbie performances were worthy of Oscar nods, though I do think Gerwig deserved to be…
