This is awesome. Fuck terrorism.

I’m old and didn’t know most of the songs, but Ariana impressed the hell out of me for being so present and engaged throughout the entire show. I could see how much it meant to the people in the audience. Lovely, all around. (And I got a kick out of her and Miley singing the sublime “Don’t Dream It’s Over”.)

Strictly speaking, English is derived from Sanskrit.

The real story here is that someone was wearing Snapchat Spectacles. I have never seen them out in the wild.

Thanks for clearing that up. I have taken guff from folks who think I am some sort of anti-science oven Luddite because I eschew micro-tea...

Maher didn’t radically misjudge the mood. He doesn’t give one damn about “the mood.” He’s simply racist. And sexist. And a narcissist. If people laugh, he’s affirmed. If they don’t, they just don’t get it or are too shackled by “political correctness” to be “with it”. But he’s never been with it. He’s an old troll in…

I fucking loathe this smug jackass. I bet he’ll get a pass on this, while people were calling for the end of Kathy Griffin’s career the other day. We see one photo about one shitty person from someone who will never act on that bullshit vs. Maher throwing out a slur that hurts millions of Americans and will be copied-…

Thank you very much.

That’s a really good point I didn’t think about (I’m not a part of instagram). Thanks.

You know, I think those kids will be thrilled that they are featured on her feed. I admire her for getting this show together in 2 weeks. She has stayed out of the press for the most part, it’s not about her ordeal, but about the kids’. Good on her.

Ah god. I didn’t know about that. Yeah, I can understand then. Thanks.

Well she is 12 so her cognitive skills aren’t super developed.

Just FYI to those interested, both ABC & Freeform are going to be live streaming Ariana’s concert tomorrow.

Free drugs and alcohol may also factor in.

The thing I love about her and Mariah is they bring the glamour every time! She’s visiting these fans who experienced horrible trauma, she is probably still processing that trauma and she still glammed it up for them.

I’m impressed that even Simon Cowell is not being an arsehole - the Britain’s Got Talent finale has been moved so that it doesn’t clash with the televised benefit concert (apologies, yes that’s yet another god-awful British show that we’ve infected America with, like American Idol and X-Factor).

These kids deserve a bit of light after everything that’s happened.

It’s quick and a lot less messy.

If you don’t want to heat up the kitchen/house/apt in summer. Otherwise - agreed!

Berkfest sammiches. If I need a quickie, I grease a mug, crack an egg, hit with some pepper, green onion and cheese. 40 seconds, drop it on a toasted bun, and I’m sandwiched. This is likely 50% of my microwave usage. Everything else, I’m far to cocky/snobby to slum with the box.
