I literally have never replied to an opinion piece ever until now and I wish Hazel Cills would have done her Taylor Swift research. Painting a narrative of women stealing from other women when in fact swift performed with a marching band for her entire Fearless tour is just uninspiring and childish. I’m sure you are…

no, she’ referencing herself...

Except that’s a drum line, not a marching band. But whatev, tay tay singing positive things is bad amirite?

Yeah, it’s not like she whipped that up in 5 days time. And she’s worked with marching bands in her live shows way before Beychella. Homecoming is a HUGE artistic achievement and deserves all the props in the world. But this is accusation a little galling.

I’m not one to defend TS, especially at the expense of Beyonce, but isn’t it likely that this performance had been planned/rehearsed for months, and it was too late to change it up in the last few weeks since Homecoming was released?

New Romantics is the best song off 1989 and I will never understand why she releases trash as her album debuts.

Maybe marching bands are just awesome, and we can just celebrate mainstream celebs utilizing them in such high-profile ways.

Hot damn if Beyonce wasn’t about 10 years too late to the marching band concept.

I need to watch/listen to the interview to truly understand the context of Lisa’s joke, so I believe you could be right: that she’s just trying to uphold this image of the bar’s owners as jet-setting playboys. I still think that in any other real-world scenario, a restaurateur wouldn’t be dunking on her own business…

Boldly proclaiming that your children won’t exercise your privilege is the ultimate privilege of peddling dishonest bullshit as the moral highground.

I love Jameela Jamil. That is all. 

Jameela Jamil is doing gods work

“you’re not helping yourself here.”

You seem to be operating from the misconception that I need to prove myself in some way to you or anyone else on the internet, let me be perfectly clear:

Neither my identity, nor the identity of anyone else in my life who’s opinion I value, is so invested in the trials and…

Exactly. The great lie is that we need to be protected from the perspectives of other ages, or to judge them outright, rather than engage with them and try to understand what they can tell us about the human condition. It’s true that a great deal of what’s in that book no longer squares with our collective morality,…

Yes. Nuance is toxic. Complexity is anathema. Feelings are god.

Same. As someone who knew that Fyre Fest was A Thing but didn’t really care about it in real time (oh, influencers were duped, who gives a shit), this movie was utterly fascinating to me. And sue me, I actually really appreciated the broader implications it drew to Trump and our national culture.

I honestly think the way Arie was portrayed as evil and heartless for breaking up with Becca on camera is pretty laughable. They are under a lot of pressure from production, I think it took a lot of guts on his part to admit that he made a mistake and had to follow his heart. Production convinced him that it was…

This breakup is to Cosmo what the Taylor Swift Get Out the Vote tweet was to Jezebel!

They’re all enabling him by allowing him to not be on meds.

Letting perfect be the enemy of good and all that...it’s just tired at this point
