The takes are so bad

Jesus fucking christ! This is one of those times when I can’t help thinking Republicans aren’t 100% wrong about Liberals losing their minds with political correctness. 

Lifehacker. Please. Stop. Don’t post stuff like this for the normies to run random scripts on their PCs. This just makes them feel more comfortable running any other script on a malicious site. I can’t even believe you thought it was OK to suggest something like this. Elevated powershell environments should be

This seems to be a case of ”It’s on GitHub, so OF COURSE it’s safe! I’m sure somebody has looked through the code.”

Ugh how boring are you? It’s okay to just acknowledge that while talented, she’s not making music for you, and it’s not landing for you. It’s okay to just say, “This isn’t my thing. I’m not connected that particular cultural wavelength” and move on. She’s a really talented vocalist, deal with it

It’s been 15 years. Maybe time to let that one go.

Yeah, I would love this but the risks seem to outweigh the advantages.

Because Disney didn’t submit it for consideration. Though you can submit multiple songs from the same movie, it’s usually seen as a risk because it might split the vote.

As for why “Dos Orugitas” over “We Don’t Talk About Bruno”? Since the submission deadline was three weeks before the movie came out (and almost two

Cornell is a great singer. His Bond song was weak. Billie Eilish can sing. Her Bond song was great. These things can all be true.

Billie Eilish is an excellent singer, even if her chosen vocal style doesn’t show it off in the same way that a bunch of power ballads does for other singers.

I did find it funny how her writing songs that aren’t explicitly heteronormative (whether for altruistic inclusivity, capitalistic opportunism, or maybe both) is now declared to be evidence of “queerbaiting” about her sexuality...

This. I don’t care if she is lesbian, bi, pan, asexual or whatever, it is her call to tell us or not. It is not up to the “fans” to out her.

My armchair theory is that crazy fanboys and fangirls have always existed but the internet gives them a place to anonymously share their wackiest feelings about the objects of their fandom with other people who have wacky feelings about the objects of their fandom.

Swift never spoke out about the fan-on-fan doxxing and outing. Paradoxically, outing is what every Gaylor fan worries they might be doing to their megastar. They want to talk about her potential queerness. They also want to give her the space to come out, as queer fans understand the difficulty of coming out before

We’re not taking him back.

It’s actually pronounced “Jif-Play.

The word cosplay has an interesting etymology. It’s derived from Japanese kosupure (first u is mostly silent), which is itself derived from English “costume play”. Her pronunciation in the video is the one I’m used to, which is closer to both costume and the Japanese pronunciation.

“Costume play” = “Cos Play” = “cosplay”.

I’ve always pronounced it as the latter because I assumed the “cos” part referred to “costume,” which I pronounce with an S sound instead of a Z, but that’s just the way my lizard brain rationalized it, and I wouldn’t care if someone used the other pronunciation. However, I’m sure some internet nerd is going to “well a

Except, as I said, the article is about policing in the US.
