I don’t know what Kim G. saw him doing but it wasn’t twerking. The Chocolate City version of twerking originates from Go Go and looks kinda like what Spike Lee *tried* to capture with the watered down “Da Butt.” Bounce and GoGo are definitely cousins. But in DC our booties sway and in Nola they twerk . . . Henry…

What’s Kim Gordon’s definition of twerking? White people love to call it twerking whenever somebody moves the lower part of their body.

So you would take help from somebody who looked older/more experienced even if they didn’t know as much rather than help from someone who looked younger but is actually more experienced? You prove an excellent point about what’s wrong with this situation and how much assumptions and biases shape decision making.

Women in first class have a way of shutting these things down.

Systematic and documented abuse and threats of death that were not addressed by the agencies required to resolve the issue, that’s how.

Unless you wear a uniform and a badge. Then shooting an unarmed person to death is completely reasonable.

I . . . theoretically agree. In principal, so long as you live in a social contract, you abrogate some of the rights you retain in the state of nature, first and foremost being the right of retribution and unlimited self-defense. You are supposed to cede your power to murder and kill, even in self-defense, to the…

I think we all know why.

That was during the whole semi-standoff thing where it was unclear whether Brown had another manic break, was about to go to prison forever/get shot for for doing something seriously wrong, or was framed. The latter turned out to be true in this case.

I am having a terrible week, but this song made me smile and makes me want to go rollerskating.

I missed this tiny, pocket sized man. I’m glad he is back again.

“a usually male dominated field were finding qualified men isn’t a problem”

The special treatment she’s getting is ridiculous, but honestly, even if she comes back, she’ll never win another grand slam. She was out of her depth and floundering with the drugs, I can’t imagine her making any real comeback.

That’s nice. It’s not right, in that there are plenty of artists who like her and have said so, and that whether vast swaths of the public like something isn’t the only kind of “musical relevance” (and could be argued, especially in the context of an album with a controversial subject, to be an obviously problematic…

How many true artists fly under the radar? Many.

Are you seriously trying to silence a work that makes so many people feel so much because... you don’t think Solange is going to “happen”?

I’m just going to put my headphones on and listen to I Decided on repeat (i.e., the song that made me love Solange’s music).

This idea that “English” is equivalent to white is the problem, so that doesn’t even remotely excuse his lack of diversity, especially since he’s a nerd from Los Angeles County.
