I bet you know more about the music industry than HAIM does, it clearly never occurred or anyone else to them that everything is contextual! You should call them and explain that to them, I bet they’d appreciate your wisdom.

Exactly. I think this is why I was hit so hard by the news. He seemed like someone who’d made it through and was doing well. Just another reminder that we never really know what another person is struggling with.

Exactly. I loved how respectful he was of cultural differences in food, and how he never wanted to make people feel ashamed because they were poor.

Absolutely.

Aside from the books and his own personality, his way of looking at different cultures through the lens of their food was so well done. Food is one of the few things that binds us all together, and his way of relating his culinary findings and the people behind them to larger world events was so impactful. Nothing was…

I am so sad. That fact that Eric was the one that found him makes this doubly devastating.

This statement made me cry. This man loved her and all the complicated feelings love can entail. He seems so heartbreakingly human and devastated despite them potentially being in the process of ending their marriage. It really stuck me that despite love and success and wealth things can still be so complicated and…

There is no comparison between having the power of a major label and/or an established artist promoting you versus being able to put your music on CDBaby. Women are not signed to labels and not mentored in the same way that men are. Yes, a small handful of artists make it purely on their own, but they are outliers.…

This is not really a problem with Spotify specifically. This is a problem with the music industry. Unless you are an 18 year old pop star in a tiny skirt whose every move is dictated by your label, you’re going to find that the vast majority of the artists who are getting active support and being promoted to streaming…

The Star Wars fanbase is far too huge to be summed up by the loud dipshits who use ‘SJW’ as a pejorative.

As a WoC and massive Star Wars fan the fact that people were messing with Kelly Tran fucks me up. Star Wars needs better fans and WoC need better support.

Well they wanted a show that portrayed trump supporters, and they sure as hell got that! Lol.

I’m 100% on board with cancelling the show, but I just don’t understand why ABC had to go and give her a platform to begin with. Her Twitter has been filled with hate for a long time and by ABC giving Barr her sitcom back, it emboldened her to be more vitriolic. And before everyone responds to me, money cannot the…

Wasn’t it something like he gave a couple to family members, kept a couple, and then split with his partner, who ended up with one or more dogs? I don’t have the impression that he was some kind of fly by night dog guy.

Not to be too awkward on this but the situations are slightly different.

Does anyone else feel very emotional about this, even if they’re not Irish? Spent last night reading the #repealthe8th feed and crying. So happy that it looks like the right side won (for once).

I’m so annoyed by all bullshit about how it wasn’t fitted correctly. She looked amazing.

Lets live in a world where we can wear clothes that don’t have to fit so tight that the seams of our spanx show. k?

The worst part isn’t the fit criticism, but the “Kate won” comment. She’s needlessly pitting women against each other.

Sure, some passing biracial individuals want to let go of their blackness and that’s fine for them.
