In my opinion, separating the artist from the art is how a lot of these predators get away with it. I was surprised to learn how many great musicians are super terrible people, but no one ever calls them to account because their work is so good. It makes it really hard for me to enjoy their work when people care more

A dear friend and I were laughing the other day about how we became friends because I “overshared” with her on her second or third day of work (I told her a story about how my cat jumped into the toilet bowl that morning after I’d peed in it, but before I’d flushed). We were joking about how it allowed our friendship

There’s a fallacy built into this: If people my age—a generation whose range is undefined by the writer, but presumably (and in practice within this species of trend piece) finds its perfect exemplar in a technically proficient mid-20s person like me—are so intellectually helpless, how would we even know how to

“Her items have spunky witticisms on them like ‘You said U loved me but you lied’”

One person’s “spunky witticism” is another person’s Michael Bolton lyric.

I am so amused at the apparently universal disdain for this post. I had previously expressed a desire for more long-form. Maybe I need to reconsider.

I just like how clear you made this.

Earlier this evening, I read an article about how it’s awful to work with people my age, because we’re… something. It was unclear

Really? How shocked are you really? You do realize Toronto is racist as fuck, right? Don’t let your OVO shades fool ya, Ms. Thing.

given that their goal is to return America to the early 1950s.

I’ve been wondering lately if the same kind of mind set that fuels other women to be regressive Republicans is some way responsible for my own love of hard core S&M.

This entire article is pretty succinctly summarized as a bunch of Republican women realizing, “Wait, this can happen to me?”

“Never in this line of work is it acceptable to respond to reasonable and legitimate questioning with use of physical force.”

I dismiss pretty much anyone’s opinion as soon as I see the use of “PC”. I no longer have any interest in what that person has to say because it indicates to me that they care less about actual human beings than about not being able to say whatever they want without criticism.

WTF is wrong with people that they think this kind of thing’s okay?

Another way they bash/misuse the term “politically correct” as a shield to be a *total garbage person*.

It seems like he’s still untouchable for now. OJ Simpson and Robert Durst were also found not guilty of crimes but at least they’re paying for them now.

This is so unfortunately true.

Honestly, as much as I hate the outcome of the trial, I’m reticent to say “fuck this judge” because I don’t see how he could have come to any other conclusion.

Who DOES need to be fucked? The Crown Prosecutor for completely fucking up at doing their job. They handed this case over with barely a fight.

You know our city will defend mediocre men until the cows come home. Don't act like this shit is new. People are crying about a dead, crack-abusing, drunken wife-beater who the police didn't even bother publicly outing.

The CBC already made a statement that they stand by their decision to fire him.
