It’s a lot more nuanced than that though. Metallica has regularly permitted bootlegging and trading of their concert performances, both pre- and post napster. Their whole point with the Napster suit was that they lost control of the distribution of their music. IIRC, the catalyst for the suit was the leaking of an…

I’m not a huge Metallica fan. Their first four albums are unfuckwithable; black album is overplayed but often wrongly maligned; everything else is a slowly declining mixed bag.

Please, elaborate. I’m struggling to see how this hypothetical “daydream” of yours (based on your perception of her physicality) is helpful to anyone. I happen to think fantasizing about someone in a victim scenario is creepy and weird, regardless of how well you think they’d acquit themselves.

“Maybe we shouldn’t mock vulnerable people for alcoholism and mental health struggles, especially when they haven’t done anything bad to anyone else.”

Really? You pick a trailer for the shitty Last Airbender movie and disregard Terry Tate: Office Linebacker? For shame!

I do.  I still love that stuff when it’s at its best, and I long for a conclusion.  I could really have done with that book this past year...

By the way, if I am correct on who that is, the story behind the lone Black officer feeling the mob is actually even more striking than just that scene.

We all understand how it works. Rich\famous\powerful have the access to resourses us plebs don’t get. But you fuckers can’t even scrape up the basic decency to not rub your exalted positions in our faces during a worldwide health crisis. You’re lives are oh-so-fabulous and during normal times we could roll our eyes…

I’m Irish (dual like you) and none of what you said computes in my brain, sorry. No sympathy for the living symbols of imperialism here.

“I don’t know how people thought that TFA could have led to any other version of Luke.”

It’s not on his imdb page, but Eddie Steeples, AKA Crab Man, is in this movie! He posted about it on his Facebook page.

From Raw Story:

Are you risking your life to resist your authoritarian government?

My mom was born in the 1940s. She and my dad were believers that anything an authority figure said was to be obeyed. So when I faced bullying in school, from kids and a teacher, she wouldn’t do anything. She’d always tell me to ignore them and they’d go away. They didn’t. Fighting back made me just as bad as the…

If you didn’t know anything about Rob Reiner, you could have at least taken 30 seconds to Google him. He’s been a highly vocal (and financial) advocate for civil rights for 50 years. He helped start the American Foundation for Equal Rights. He’s repeatedly bankrolled challenges to Right-wing legal attacks on women,…

Right? I understand the power of using anger as a motivational tool to accomplish things*, but McGowan seems to conflate anger with negativity. She never seems to have anything uplifting to say/post.

PLEASE include either the National Suicide Prevention Hotline or some other relevant resource when posting articles that discuss suicide or self harm. It is genuinely not that hard. It seems that Jezebel has fully committed to not including this information on recent articles addressing suicide.

Not at an awards ceremony. If the task is to announce people’s names to bestow honor, the host should learn or be told how to pronounce all of the names.

If it was my shop, autistic people with sensory issues is about the only exception I’d make. Everybody else can wait outside, hand me a list, and I’ll do their shopping for them and bring it out.
