I’d always thought it was the girl saying “it’s none of your business” to him. If she doesn’t want him in their life, it’s her choice.

why does the queen pay, but not some of her relatives?

I’m going to have to agree with Katmandu on this. We may hope evidence rules protect against victim-blaming, but it doesn’t always work out that way.

I have never heard of this show but according to wikipedia:

This supports my theory that Taylor’s initial singles are always really bad, when the rest of the album is okay. “I knew you were trouble” and “shake it off,” were awful, overproduced whining messes but the rest of 1989 and Red are good.

Not only is he facing a class action lawsuit, his company may face RICO charges for covering this all up (link). Class actions suits have gotten harder over the years, so it may be better for plaintiffs to find hungry lawyers than build a class action.

I would watch a Lifetime movie out of the Gretchen / Mondo catastrophe. Gretchen reminded me so much of the girl with a sad story who I feel bad for and is friends with for way longer than I should be because no matter her story, she’s still a bitch.

This is Kinja. I don’t need someone pointing out that Dove doesn’t use sustainable palm oil to attach a powerpoint about the Indonesian economy.

Changing to sustainable practices is often disruptive, affecting both rich and poor. This fact is a favorite of conservative think-tanks (see The Heritage Foundation) when arguing why we shouldn’t change whatever non-environmentally friendly practice that is in dispute.

Check where they get their money. The rescue center near me is funded by my state’s Game and Fish so it’s legit and the money from animal encounters really helps them. I don’t feel guilty because they’re doing good work!

Because the average person doesn’t know who the Duchess of Cambridge is and Queen Elizabeth II took a last name ceremonially. It’s not a custom for the royal family to have a last name.

The Economist’s Obituary on the Burt’s Bees co-founder Burt is a great read.

My father wants to see this film 10% because Luc Besson is directing, 90% because Paul McCartney let them use “Because.”

yes. Who would be Lara Flynn Boyle’s equivalent today?

As a Bachelor fan, I think Jillian Harris is great. She was authentic as you can be on a dating show and got burned by the guy who proposed to her. As a HGTV fan, she’s one of the most reasonable designers on the show and she doesn’t overuse clocks/shiplap.

Fake it until you make it.

It worries me that Hollywood will blame the flop on “action films with women don’t work” or on “those SJW who complained about white-washing” and not actually realize that if they had stuck to the source material, fans would have actually watched it.

My go to gift is an indie board game, very few people have cards/board games for adults and then I feel good about supporting a small business.

Listened to a review that said Power Rangers was better than the new Transformers and Teenage Mutant Ninja Turtles reboots, so maybe it’s not a complete waste of money.
