The anonymous part is the issue I have with your take. Sure, sure: Opinions, assholes, etc. You wanna ridicule and blow off steam in the group text? Go for it. But I literally don’t wanna hear a goddamned word about someone doing something “inefficiently” when that someone is a subject matter expert and you’ll be…

She might also be a candyass. She walks around with that face, but I’m guessing no one punches her in it and she probably didn’t go to Dook, so...

Agreed. I have no issues whatsoever with the offering of additional information that dispels the worst and most obvious conclusion, especially when that leap lands one in the wrong place. I don’t understand the complaint, honestly...

This assertion is illogical. If you’re going to accuse someone of clickbait, understand clickbait. No clicks are ever driven by what is in the fourth, or fifth, or sixteenth paragraph of a piece.They didn’t insinuate or dispel anything of the sort in the headline or the blurb, which is the only thing that would…

I don’t understand this complaint. She was vague. People speculated. She clarified. Their coverage of this isn’t a furtherance of a rumor, it’s dispelling one.

I normally disbelieve a high percentage of anecdotes I read on the Internet, but this sounds like something a cop would be comfortable saying. Doubly so with LAPD.

More often than not, the loudest voices offering these complaints are doing so before a season has been concluded, as though they’ve never studied things like foreshadowing, unreliable narration, or misdirection. I wouldn’t trust those people to write a postcard home from the loveliest place on the planet.

Before we get to whether anyone should be impressed by this, we should be asking whether any of this is true and why any of it matters. He wants his reputation restored but he doesn’t want to take accountability for what he did, so he’s hiding behind something completely irrelevant that he says he did. Life doesn’t…

Strategery in a nutshell: It’s either true or it’s not, but if it’s true, that’s better kept as a secret, never to be spoken of in polite company with anything other than revulsion and dismissiveness. If it’s NOT true, then it’s a lie - widely broadcast as a truth by someone with credibility - expressed as a HORRIBLE…

Rap beef is not supposed to be and has never been about making club music. But please, tell us more...

The ACTUAL problem is when Drake forgets that he told his listeners the truth (he’s a sensitive soft boy), and tries to craft a dangerous mafioso narrative around himself, as though the people he wants to find the latter compelling are totally unaware of the former. He’s so insecure about his place that he tries to…

Also, what Kendrick did on “Meet the Grahams” was downright literary. The structure of what he built allowed him to present information as though it was out of a place of thoughtful kindness directed toward Drake’s family and peers while saying some of the most barbed, cutting, spiteful shit you’ll ever hear in…

Will the people who think this ever have a combined net worth of $30M, though?

THIS. Part of the problem is that the decision was made to include Norse mythology, broadly, but then the series as a whole is all over the place as to what it takes seriously/reverently and what is played as a joke. So we’ve got some Heimdall and some Odinsleep and some Frost Giants and other realms in column A...…

She’s got “telling on herself” syndrome. In this case, she’s telling us that her threatened lawsuit is another attempt to harass this man. The actor portraying her doesn’t look like she did when she stalked him. The script portrays things that aren’t accurate to how she stalked him. People were able to find her online…

“I get range anxiety, but it’s literally not a thing for like 95% of drivers’ miles that’s just daily commute/shorter weekend trips...”

That 5% is huge when the driver hasn’t made the purchase yet. After all: What percentage of reality is perception, again?

You may well be right. But what I know for a fact is that my…

Let me help you understand their level of stardom:

You like them and their music. Millions of other people have heard their music and come away with the same impression. Their level of stardom is a product of millions of other people arriving at the same general conclusion you reached. They started making music and,…

I would amplify your point by noting that Courtney Love has more access to the music industry than the vast majority of women in the world. If she wants to simultaneously represent “a safe space for girls” and ALSO make music that meets her own standard for what is “interesting” in 2024, she should try her hand at…

Counterpoint: It’s sad to see someone who is thirsty for attention use the names of more famous, more successful people in their field to draw attention to themselves. Courtney Love could be famous for the music she makes, but that’s hard. Getting clicks for talking reckless about more famous people is easy.

Azealia Banks, complaining about some shit she probably knows as much about as any of the rest of us... Who could have predicted this?!?!

Meanwhile, I have to ask:  You work in the same field; where’s your country album where you shined a light on a part of our history too-long hidden and underappreciated, and elevated…
