I had actually forgotten about this sketch, I mainly remembered her for “Vital Information.” But trying to paint it as feminist is...a stretch.

Ehhh...Black woman here. With some exceptions, of course, current mainstream hip-hop is incredibly materialist and misogynistic, as is lots of pop music (mainstream hip-hop IS, in fact, pop music). I get that as a “privileged White woman” it’s not kosher to state publicly that you don’t like mainstream hip-hop but…
As someone living with 2 teenage boys and a 50 yr old manboy, I would WELCOME any one of them using a dick towel. I never thought I’d say this, but I have too many penises in my life.
In between, can she be the new Columbo?
Right? Sarley’s portfolio only goes back three or four years, but I love how she thinks she’s the first person ever to fingerbang fruit and call it art.
I did EXACTLY the same thing in college for a photography assignment on sex, 1997. It was lazy on my part and got graded accordingly. This has been done endlessly and is very unoriginal on everyone’s part.
I’ve seen A LOT of fruit-sex analogy in art, dating back well before this artist’s oeuvre. Many of them were art students or otherwise fairly unacknowledged local artists, etc, indicating to me that the idea itself definitely isn’t unique enough to any one artist to claim this as appropriative.
I won’t even travel across a king size bed for sex. You roll to me.
any pharmacist who doesn’t give it to you based on religious beliefs needs to have their face opened up by a fist.
No reason to get LaCroix when Polar Seltzer (or Wegmans house brand seltzer) exists.
Anyone remember Shining Time Station? I don’t actually remember a whole lot about it, except for the part where they like showed the inside of the juke box? And I think Ringo Starr was in it?
He told a story on Graham Norton that he came up with an idea that after filming he was going to smoothly say “Not anymore” when people asked “aren’t you Jon Snow?”, but the first time someone asked him after filming ended, he immediately started crying when he said it.
Someone should film Anjelica Houston and Quincy Jones together, talking shit about people after they’ve had a couple of bottles of wine. I’m not proud of it, but I’d watch that.
I would probably go with 'war crime' rather than 'genocide.'
As someone who is born and living in Dresden (Germany) i can tell you, no one is using the word genocide. There a still arguments about how the bombing had any military value or was just a cruel plan. A lot found peace with the rebuilding of the womenschurch which is one of the most famous buildings in the city.
Whatever else the bombing of Dresden might have been, it was definitely part of a sustained a berserker rage by the allies, as Lee Sandlin puts it in his excellent essay, “Losing the War.” I’m paraphrasing, but what he argues is that the allies became so enraged by the Axis Powers refusal to surrender when the war was…
She’s not a regular mom. She’s a cool mom.
This is so, so brave of him. To talk about it as a man, and as a black man, no less.
I love that you left out Scheana. Sums her storyline up perfectly.
