Pretty much any legal news notes the real name for a celebrity that goes by a stage name so that interested people can follow the court documents.

but also you’re taking often broke artists who cannot afford independent legal advice, and who don’t understand all the technicalities. you can say people should be held accountable to contracts, but lots of times the record companies are knowingly taking advantage of someone.

Given that the article later quotes the legal filings that use her legal name, this upfront identification is rather crucial for the article.

I realize that Mike Tyson has had a VERY troubled past, and he’s done a lot of truly horrible things. I can’t claim to be an expert on what he’s been like in recent years, but by outward appearances he seems to have learned a great deal of humility in his later life. He went to prison as punishment for his crimes. We…

Sounds about right. In their glory days those channels mostly ran cheap but interesting documentaries; the kind of thing you’d stumble across while channel-surfing, get hooked by, and keep watching. You’d remember them fondly in general terms because they interested you and you maybe learned something, but they were…

Reminds me of that quote (might be from The Celluloid Closet, I forget) that goes something like “I spent my life translating straight films to my queer life, so when someone calls my stuff universal I say ‘fuck you, its gay. Made by gays, for gays, about gays. Now you have to do the hard work to translate it to your…

But they don’t HAVE to be universalized experiences.

Which queer films are you referring to?

See, what happens is that they’re angry, but logic dictates that they can’t possibly be angry at some dumb article on a content mill website, so hey presto, transference! Works every time (for them, anyway).

It’s pretty clear though?

This article comes across as angry to you? Lol

lena wilson’s dad is an editor at the times. that’s all you need to know about her.

Oh no, how "devastating". I hope the irony isn’t lost on anyone that critics often tend to be some of the most thin-skinned people around!

Humanity is much more directly going down the drain because of the billions of dollars charitable organizations like this have wasted on sub-par, underplanned projects, which they will continue to do as we continue to spiral. You need a perspective shift.

I suggest you look into the long, storied history of charities not supporting people as much as they claim to.

Holy shit. No-one in his company seems to have thought long enough about the construction to realise that avoiding wood designed to resist damp and moisture damage is a bad idea in flood-damaged New Orleans. They just stopped building the houses when they got to about 2/3 of the way to their goal, stopped filing…

Am I the only one who finds a lot of the conversation surrounding this show completely exhausting? I mean, I know I don’t have to read or engage with any of it, but it’s a bit of a bummer that nearly every conversation about the show immediately pivots into a debate over ethics. I also understand that Nathan himself…

It’s completely unrelated, but the timing makes one thing “at what cost?”

“I’m posting it because I don’t want this person who has more social power than me to think that it’s fucking okay to do something like this.”
