This opportunity was not missed.

Well, obviously this really only applies to people in performing arts.

Fiction isn't real life. Hth.

thank you!

Eh everyone’s excited and giddy. It’s cute. Let it be what it is. 

You got me on that one.  I meant the Natalie Imbruglia “original”.  Not the original original.

Well, the original ain’t exactly the sixth track on a Tori Amos album either but, yeah, it’s hard to see happy people sing heartbreakers.

I think maybe we’re coronating Olivia Rodrigo a tad early. Maybe Baroness? Duchess? Not quite Queen yet. Pretty sure Beyonce is going to have that title until she voluntarily steps down.

I’m not an evil person.

He’ll be north of 80 when he’s released, so that’s not nothing.

Considering his age, 30 years in prison, now, is effectively a life sentence.

He’s been incarcerated since 2019. Counting time served and whatever lawyering and legal jujitsu, It’ll be 27 years, maybe less.

I can’t blame her, but, and I realize this is a personal anecdote, can’t trust her word right now because she reminds me of someone in my life who followed a similar…

Little shop of horrors, bowfinger and death at a funeral are all pretty subversive. 

Just because they only mentioned isolated instances (which actually they didn’t) doesn’t mean that’s all that went on. Anyone who is familiar with the experience of being Black in an overwhelmingly white space knows for a fact that this isn’t all that went on. Existing in a racist environment doesn’t look like being…

The thought process that concludes that this is something that needs to be said aloud...yikes. Well, you know, they could have been strung up from a tree after being tortured and having their genitals cut off, so, you know, being humiliated and having your entire sense of personal humanity being called into question…
