second recommendation for Americanah! It’s by far my favourite book I’ve read in about 5 years (anything by her though is fantastic, to be honest).

My point was the story is not uncommon. TO THE TOP and then CRASH. This has happened over and over. By the way, Whitney came from a long line of professional singers and had lots of advantages growing up, including some very talented influences, though agreed—she had a gorgeous voice until she wrecked it in her later…

Amy Winehouse comes to mind

If that’s how you define someone’s sexuality, you need to expand your reading list and social circle.

“[The death penalty] is really reserved for the people with the worst lawyers, and the poorest”.

I don’t think minorities should get extra blame if they’re bigots. People might say for example that milo yianopolis is especially harmful to gays for saying he is gay but would chose not to be. I think if there’s a whole cacophony of homophobes it’s unfair to single out the gay one for extra hate on the basis that…

Hey, man. When most of your life is spent in delicious, delicious naps, protection is important. (jinni knows...) :)

I’m sorry, Bobby, but if you cannot see the direct and clear way these stories are interconnected, then you have no business writing for this site. #Illuminati

In this case it’s complicated because the Kardashians probably called the paps ahead of time. So they likely did consent to it as they would a photoshoot.

I agree. But the Kardashians are further confusing because I understand that they often let paparazzi know where they will be and arrange to be photographed. But then it’s still a picture of them...

I generally side with photographers (and writers and freelancers in the arts who generally get screwed by clients) but street photos/paparazzi have always been confusing to me. If I didn’t give you permission to take my picture but you take it anyway, and then I find it and like it so I post it, you can sue me for…

I read that as the corset being on the outside, so it was part of the look (and not worn as underwear). But talking about her “ample curves” possibly popping out is really shitty.

Not really a secret but butter tarts in Canada......so good

I think it just comes down to Oprah not being that deep and not being particularly caring of attention to detail so long as the total package looks good on television.

Hey... I don’t want no short 🍆  man either, 😉.

Or, Oprah likes making money and when it comes down to it, she doesn’t really care how that happens.

Oprah built the careers of some pretty terrible folk. I get the feeling that she doesn’t scratch too far beyond the surface of some of her guests and, since she genuinely seems to want to see the best in everyone she meets, it can lead to these types of things. She has a historically hard time seeing the sleeze that…

Ivanka Trump is, to hear it told, her own woman who is quite capable of defending herself. She isn’t a child like Amy Carter or a teenager like Chelsea Clinton or even in college like Jenna Bush. She’s a 35 year-old woman with immense wealth at her disposal who heads up a multinational company. She requires no…

Even easier is a cat box made from an empty box and a t-shirt. A friend of mine on Facebook posted just this past week:

Once your cat realizes the amount of work you put into something for them they will promptly ignore it and revel in your frustration before demanding more food.
