Well-said. We didn’t have the term “woke” back then, but we did have the occasional woke guy, and he was one of ‘em. Getting support from men was no small thing back then.

These people were in fucking 5th grade when album came out— of COURSE they don’t have the perspective to see the historical context.

Disagree. This was a great record. 

“...it is also true that he thought making a rape reference in a secondary single wouldn’t be misunderstood because of its subject matter...”

Wrong, and horribly misrepresentative of someone who can’t actually defend themselves. Shame on you.

Cobain was personally distraught to find out that “Polly” (released years…

I was in my mid-20s when it came out, so I don’t think I have the same volatile hormonal school-love associations with this-or-that 90s album as some here have. I was only a peripheral Nirvana follower— you didn’t have to be more, because they were THE band of the moment and you could hardly escape them— but even I…

Complaining that other bands do Cobain’s voice, so his voice isn’t unique is like arguing Jimi Hendricks was a mediocre guitarist because tons of people play like that now and most of them suck. It’s historical revisionism. Yeah, lots of people (most of which are worse bands) sing like Cobain, but when he burst on the…

The Kirkland booze is surprisingly good.

As an exception, Kurt Vonnegut fought in WWII, came back to the US and raised 3 children with his wife, adopted his sister’s 3 young children as well when she died of cancer and his brother in law died in an accident, and was a consistent voice in criticizing the rising reactionary political Right in the US. Seemed…

Next they’ll tell us Bukowski was a drunken jerk.

I am a bigtime user of eyedrops, and the last time I picked up a bottle, the packaging had switched to a childproof cap (one of those push down, then twist varieties - looks exactly the same as the regular cap). I couldn’t get into it, and brought it to my spouse for help, totally befuzzled. Why the eff couldn’t I…

Is it really childish if it’s also absolutely true?

And yet this man would still probably make a better President than Trump. It’s like their names and destinies were switched at birth......

We’re in far worse shape than Idiocracy at least they got President Camacho. We got a racist, moronic pile of orange shit.

Only a handful of us saw Idocracy as a warning, while the majority saw it as a goal.

It’s such a fucking cliche now. The Christian Right, which railed for decades against immoral politicans, is suddenly completely fine with them. Because now they’re getting what they want.

Do it! Binge some. There are so many good ones and many have strong, women agents. They’re not waiting around, they’re doing. Anything with Barbara Stanwyck, Katharine Hepburn or Rosalind Russell is likely to be particularly good.

Here’s the full quote:

You’re the Worst is so great! Jimmy and Gretchen are good together. Or, at least better than apart.

There is no way the 80s-2000 were the golden age of RomComs. The 30s and 40s turned out an incredible number of rom cons that are great. The only ones I can think of that come close are Rob Reiner’s films (When Harry Met Sally, Princess Bride, The Sure Thing) and a couple remakes of classic works (Clueless, 10 Things…

You are describing the plot of You’ve Got Mail.
