Cosby’s earlier comedy was not all “jello pudding pop/be-sweatered paterfamilias shtick continuum.” I grew up listening to his comedy albums from pre- “Himself” days. (Which is one reason I didn’t find this surprising. Cosby has never had a lot of respect for women. He had a bit, when he only had two kids (both girls)…

I have more of a problem with Kylie saying “I woke up like disssss.” Girl. It’s been a year. People aren’t saying that anymore. And you don’t talk like that in real life. Just stop.

Cosby’s earlier stand-up - the 60s/70s stuff - was, like most comics at the time, much edgier than their TV material. His cuddly pudding’ pop America’s dad persona came much later.

Yes. Some of his early stuff is quite dark.

Exactly. It’s easier to try to make a woman feel bad about her appearance than acknowledge their own lack of ability. It’s so hateful and pathetic. Keep your self loathing to yourself. Serena loves her body and she should, because it’s beautiful.

Two women who are the best in the world at what they do. That’s a great photo.

Thank you, Ms. Rowling! Also, please do not publish a manuscript thirty years from now, in which we find out Harry has grown old and intolerant of Muggles.

If that would really stop someone from reading something, I doubt they’d be all that interested in what was being said regardless.

so much this! I gained a lot both times...I am currently 37 weeks and do not see myself in the mirror. and i can never be alone when I need to be, bc there is a human being literally in me. It’s exhausting and strange.

Not the same artist or same festival, but 50 Cent got a lot of hate at Reading, the audience threw camping stoves and deckchairs at him. Festival crowds tend to prefer rock over any other genre, so there can be hostility towards rappers. Jay-Z was a success when he played Glastonbury though.

I’m going to disagree with some people here. I think the tenor of the Kanye opposition has been...well, odd and in the same vein as the criticism that say Jay Z faced when he performed. Lots of people saying “why not have an English musician?” which seems like vaguely coded “we’d prefer white people music, thanks”…

Yeah, apparently so, looking at the lists of past acts. Plenty of folk, too.

I’m basing my support for them on the fact that he says they could have called him. Therein lies the hallmark of every narcissist father. If you’re the parent, you’re the one who picks up the phone, you’re the one who visits, you’re the one who is there.

yea, but, Kurt Russell was in Big Trouble in Little China.

Here’s the thing about being the child of a parent who abandons you, and then subsequently the child of a loving stepparent: IT’S NOT THE KID’S FAULT THAT YOU LEFT AND SOMEONE ELSE WANTED TO LOVE THEM. My own mother is super bitter about the acknowledgment my stepmother gets on Mother’s Day, but you know what? If you…

I always wondered why they kept his name. He seemed like a nonentity in their life at best and a malicious bitter opportunist at worse. They could have taken on “Russell” with just a legal name change (adoption by Kurt wouldn’t have been necessary if Bill had refused to cede legal paternity) Sad that it’s playing out…

Lol, great minds

I sort of wanted to be on his side because of the ridiculous petition and over the top criticism but he was so bad I can’t. I felt embarrassed for him.

You get any more worked up about the word “dude” and your manpon is gonna fall out, dude.

Ha! I’m currently surveying people in the U.S. about beliefs about the military and how much they know about it. Some of the men I survey are SO wrong about basic facts yet are so confident and even condescending to me. It’s really sad.
