The artist still owns the rights to the art. The owner of the wall owns that particular piece, but the artist retains the rights to all representations of it.

I think its a beautiful gown, if not everyone’s taste. And she looks great. The “lets play pretend like we’re cool, edgy graffiti artists while ripping off the work of the actual artist” is extra tacky, though.

[Designer] What do you want to look like Ms. Perry?

Yeah, i’m pretty sick of this shit too. The truth is WE ARE ALL RACIST TO A DEGREE.

Once again, NO WHITE PERSON IS EVER A RACIST EVER.

Whoopi doesn’t just defend “clowns, she defends racists, rapists, and God knows what other scumbag degenerates. Dear Whoopi, you hate women and you hate yourself, we get it. The victim is at fault always, thanks for letting us know how you feel.

I’m starting to think of her as Whoopsi Goldberg because every time she opens her mouth lately...

I have so much empathy for you right now. I was also ‘the smart one’ and I came to so deeply interweave my self-worth with my academic achievements that I’m approaching 30 and I still sometimes think that if I’m not ‘smart’, people won’t love or respect me. Developing a disabling illness was kind of a good thing (you…

While sexist attitudes may have been more prevalent and accepted back then, it seems that it wasn’t necessarily worse, just different. Since movies couldn’t have sex scenes, female characters had to be given more dynamic roles than just “hot girl 4” and “trophy wife.” Instead, women ended up playing roles that women…

My thoughts exactly.

I have to think that real estate developing just makes you an insane, money-addicted sociopath. I just have never heard a story that was like “hey, so there was this really nice real estate developer...”

If the wall actually messed with her tree and she can prove it, she could easily win that case. Tree laws are actually surprisingly strict.

You gotta be a next level of evil if you make a Walmart heir look sympathetic in a story.

Okay, context. Here’s the badass boss in question. She was wearing this lovely fit-and-flare number of navy cotton with little white flowers on the skirt and a cute white cardigan. Navy slingback pumps with open toes and a bright pink pedicure. Hair curled, but left down in a very flattering, feminine way. She had…

Hollywood is more sexist and racist than it was in the 80’s or 90’s, which isn’t THAT long ago. I don’t think we would ever see a movie like The Bodyguard today. Black female lead, white romantic lead. The white guy serving the black girl? Please. We’re going backwards. I noticed that too when comparing Jurassic Park…

It’s not just Hollywood, it’s EVERYWHERE. I have two young daughters so it makes me DEFCON Level 100 angry.

Apropos of all of this: I am a trial attorney, an extremely male dominated field. I went to a conference a few months back where the keynote speaker, a woman, was absolutely fucking phenomenal. She blew me away. She’s gotten HUGE verdicts on tough cases in really conservative jurisdictions, and she had fabulous…

I think there are somewhat more movies focusing on female characters, but she’s right that they’re almost all young and attractive in a way male leads don’t have to be (many are, of course, but it’s not so universal).

So I was a “gifted” child and if you’re “the smart one” it’s really really really hard to say “I don’t know that” or “I’ve never heard of that”. I am probably better at figuring out what someone’s talking about from context while bluffing than I am at any other skill because it was super important to me. I still…
