“Page Six notes that the diamond is “a Sloan Solitaire ring from Briony Raymond” that Rihanna has worn before, but never on that specific finger. So, why wear it on that finger now?”

I feel like it’s probably not okay to treat a real life human being as if they’re a fictional character to be shipped with whatever other character/person via slash fiction (which is what this sort of rampant speculation feels like: wish thinking and open fantasizing.) I get—do not agree with, but get—that even among…

The line between fun side activity and unhealthy projection is just a reminder that we all need some more safe spaces and healthy outlets to be who we really are. And social media is not it.

This is way too much writing for something that is not our business. 

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.

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…

You’ve invented Small Plates.

Nobody knows what jif is.  I’m in software development and I had to look it up.  Rasterized jpeg?  Who needs that?

This. At the end of the day cheerleading is still women being the side show to support the real stars: the men playing. As long as this continues to be the case, cheerleaders will never be respected. Stop being the sideshow and make it a sport in and of itself. 

CBS and Turner pay $770,000,000 annually to broadcast these games, and the players don't receive a salary. Up until a few years ago, they weren't allowed to have too much cream cheese on their bagels. Corruption at the highest order, throughout the NCAA. 

I predict sideline cheering may go away (except if course in the South). There are already so many standalone team events that have proven that cheer can stand on its own as a sport. The one big issue I see is the economic divide with those very expensive “all star cheer” clubs who always seem to go to Nationals no…

It’s mostly because of the spelling, as in “gift”.

Most people probably don’t even know it’s even an acryonym, let alone what for.  So that’s a weak argument.

Too soon? 

I was listening on NPR, and he kept badgering Judge Brown Jackson to answer his question, and I literally yelled at the radio “ SHE WOULD FUCKING ANSWER IT IF YOU WOULD STOP TALKING OVER HER, YOU DUMBASS.”

I was wondering this too. Kotaku never even bothered to write a Pokémon Review. Still no Elden Ring review either. Maybe some review content is behind from the strike?

For the Metroid 4K article last year

Nintendo is understandably a bit annoyed at Kotaku right now:

NATO is a military alliance. Ukraine is a member of the UN. What is your point, and what does any of it have to do with LGBTQ rights?

We look forward to Nintendo reasserting that it does not promote greylisting websites for doing journalism.
