But she pretty much said it didn’t happen, or that she didn’t remember it. I don’t think she was saying that she did say “fuck off” or that she even would have if Tia Mowry approached her. I think her point was that IF she was going to be rude to someone she wouldn’t just roll her eyes, she’d say, “fuck off” in…

This isn’t necessarily meant for you Hazel, but for other commenters. Owl City is one person, and Touring Member (like this perv) means they weren’t a real band member

same. I was like, “that’s a really odd endorsement deal”.

I have long thought that Blue Ivy was a nice name unfairly lumped in with terrible celebrity baby names.

I hate when I don’t check where the link is from, and then I blow one of my ten free NYT articles per month on KK’s gd blackface. Sad!

To be fair, this comment also applies to a lot of the great Ella Fitzgerald’s catalog...

Aren’t all the live shows on a delay? If Cher or anyone else does something they will just kill the audio or whatever. This is just the producers trying to start some sort of buzz, a fake controversy, just to get more folks to watch.

I’ve also had depression/anxiety my whole life and wouldn’t have been vulnerable to this show — BUT I still agree with the experts that there are some teens with depression that would be.

It’s framed as being so peaceful, and uses some pretty common beautiful-misery tropes like the blood in the water.

One of the stars in an interview said that they wanted a season 2 because the parents need closure. I was like... how dare you do a show about suicide and demand closure for characters. The heart-shitting fuckedness of it all is that no one who knew the deceased will EVER get closure and to desire the portrayal of…

Yes. This is the frustrating thing to explain to people. I could care less about 99% of teens watching this. Personally I think the show is riddled with problems, but they’ll form their opinions about it and move on. But it’s those outliers — the types of depressive teens that are vulnerable to suicide contagion —…

A psychiatrist I know is absolutely panicked about the uptick in suicidal teens she has been seeing since this was released.

I think a lot of this is very relevant to the typically-functioning teen, and a very good and even-handed evaluation of the way the series fails its audience.

Let’s not forget that the book was written by a middle-aged white man with a son, not a daughter. So it’s basically one long string of mansplaining about something he clearly doesn’t have a clue about.

They all have old timey moustaches and can make any kind of suicide you want.

Interesting, thank you.

Public schools can’t expel anyone based on fraternity membership (official or unofficial) because it would violate freedom of association laws.

It doesn’t work that way. Schools can be academically rigorous and still have a rampant binge-drinking culture. They’re not mutually exclusive.
