Gotta disagree hard on this one. IMO Jagged Little Pill holds up as a top 10 90s album. It’s a viscerally angry album and Alanis is SO GOOD at getting her emotions across.

Oh, calm down. It does not hurt you if I have beliefs. You’re why atheists get a bad name. And that’s coming from my atheist partner.

It’s all a bullshit fantasy sold to women that shitty men are complicated and suffering from abandonment issues and you, yes YOU, can fix them by staying with them no matter how objectively terrible they are to you and you’ll never win because if they keep being shitty, it’s cause you didn’t try hard enough and if you…

For you.

Jewish people can think critically about Israeli policy, the same way Americans that are against Trump aren’t prejudice toward white people. HOWEVER, it is legitimately not possible to separate aggressive anti-Israel rhetoric from antisemitism. Israel must exist because the Jews were almost exterminated, and could be…

I hope you are referring to the judge.

She paid $233 WITH INSURANCE? I’m flabberghasted at how utterly FUCKED the system is at perceiving who is committing which crimes in this story!

That’s not really my issue with this piece. If Gina Rodriguez said something offensive, then it’s worth calling out. No one gets a pass for being from a certain minority group.

I’m tired of seeing Vergara’s earnings thrown out there in relation to this. Regardless of where her earnings come from, she is a statistical outlier and not representative of what the average latina/hispanic actress makes. It would be like using the career of Denzel Washington as an example to say that black actors…

Yeah, I’m willing to accept that Gina was simply wrong but whenever someone puts up a chart or statistics, I keep expecting information from SAG breaking down the compensation of all working actors - not “Sofia Vergara.” That’s like saying America stopped being racist in 2008 because “Barack Obama.”

Reading through this, I kept seeing statements that the overall averages are not applicable to Hollywood (which, duh, any specific industry will vary from the overall average in some way) and that Rodriguez was wrong about the pay gap but nothing proving she was wrong. The link saying it’s “simply untrue” goes to some…

Okay, to be honest, the evidence used in this reporting continues to confuse the hell out of me. The twitter link this article provides to argue that Rodriguez is wrong about her claims about Latin actresses does not actually prove anything of the sort. It actually just theorizes that her claim is based on a…

If Savannah sincerely wanted a balanced interview, she should have questioned this kid the same way women and girls have been questioned for their choices, especially by the Catholic Church!

Few things here, if you don’t want people to think you are racist, don’t were a MAGA hat. If you think, oh, that could be my son, you need to raise your children to be better people. And lets not forget, this whole thing happened because a Catholic high school decided to take a bus full of teenage boys to a protest…

You’re isolating the tax rates from other cultural circumstances (with a slight nod to other factors that may have contributed to the growth after the ‘64 cut). During the ‘50s, under Eisenhower, when the upper rate was around 90%, the country went through an economic boom that saw massive gov’t expenditure on job…

Right, but basically everybody except Billy can use that excuse. “We really MEANT for it to work! We really WANTED it to work!”

It seems like the general contractor and subcontractors that built the house and installed the equipment incorrectly should be held responsible. They should also have insurance. I don’t think going after brad pitt, who helped raise money to give the residents subsidized housing should be responsible. I helped out in…

That sort of makes sense though. He’s an actor who is good at getting publicity. He probably doesn’t know much about running a non-profit, construction, or finance. He should be there to get publicity and money and then should step away and let others run it.  Apparently those others did a pretty bad job, but I’m not…

Unbelievable. Our government is prosecuting people for giving water to people in the desert. Just sit with that for a moment and tell me you don’t want to set something on fire. What an unbelievably fucked system this is. Charles Dickens himself couldn’t have imagined something like this. I’m so tired.

He’s a Christian Republican.  The two biggest red flags in existence.
