The best take I’ve seen on this (performance I have not seen)

I sat through this whole boring show so I could see Olivia Colman win. It was sooooo worth it! I laugh/cried through her speech.

I don’t know where things go from here, but I do know that the inevitable ripped-from-the-headlines episode of Law & Order SVU about this is gonna be LIT.

This all day, every day. She knew what she was doing and should reap what she sowed.

so education!

“Single Ladies” came out in October 2008, which would have been a few months after Heath Ledger died. She was probably preoccupied with being a single mother to her toddler aged daughter and mourning in private away from the public and just missed the song when it was at its peak ¯\_(ツ)_/¯ 

Hey now! I was born in 71. I’m no boomer. You take that back. I would push your cutoff date back about 15 years. Coupland himself — author of Gen X — was born in ‘61. I’m not sure where the FoxNews cutoff date is but it’s much earlier than ‘75. Otherwise, I lustily support your proposal.

I am CNM/ARNP. I have trouble explaining to others that likely if maternal health issue developed in third trimester - we would likely induce. I don’t know why anyone would jump to abortion at that time unless there was fetal abnormality. What would you say to people that are dead set on the notion that these laws…

Is there something with you people that the word “women” is so difficult to say? Does it have some icky connotation so you have to use terminology more commonly used to denote an animal’s gender?

So here is my terrible thought experiment.

My mother had to abort what would have been my baby sister for similar reasons. She had severely deformed internal organs, and a large cyst that destroyed most of her brain. Carrying her to term would have been unspeakably cruel for everyone involved. My parents’ dream of adding a sweet little girl alongside their…

Yeah, seems like the basis of this post is rooted in a projection of the author’s personal bias and not so much a convincing thesis that the subject would have a gripe about any of this.

Her father was born in Germany, her mother was mestizo and had one parent of Indigenous descent and another of Spanish descent. But Indigenous identity isn’t about genetics, and the fact remains that culturally, she was not Indigenous, her mother was Catholic, and she was raised in a very Europeanized, middle class…

I have a somewhat different take on Frida. I agree with the criticism of the commercialization of art and artists but at the same time it’s not just happening to Frida.

Kahlo’s own work often focuses on her appearance, and on her body-as-art. I’m not convinced this is an out-of-line interpretation. This is also a Very [contemporary] Brooklyn take, and I kind of like it when exhibitions reflect their surroundings. That said, I wasn’t interested in seeing this one after the basking in…

It’s all acting. They’re both trained and proven actors, and clearly they know what the audience wants from them (could barely hear them sing for all the pandemonium). I’m certain they’re friendly, but there’s nothing spontaneous about that performance.*

Don’t forget, apparently she’s also gotten drunk and ran into shops asking for tattoos and got pissed when she didn’t get what she wanted. That’s pretty damn tacky as well. She is every customer I hate.

I don’t think so. Some of his tattoos looked very good. Posting them on the internet as a way to poke fun (not only at him, but at the people who chose those tattoos, who the author does NOT know personally) is beyond petty.

He also had every right to object doing it.

I remember one time I went to a place of business and I realized I wouldn’t get exactly what I wanted for my money. Then I went to a different place, and did, and it was fine.
