Like the frat bros who applauded and whistled during the gang rape in A Clockwork Orange. I simply got up and walked out.

Indeed. Public executions were a very popular form of mass entertainment in Europe and the US. Over 20,000 people attended the last one in the US in 1936. I’m sure they’d get great ratings if they were televised.

Public celebration of executions was a thing. It wasn’t really a good thing.

A film studies teacher I know would not watch movies in certain commercial theaters due to applause during certain extremely violent scenes.

Where’s all the pro-death penalty people? You’d think they would be pouncing all over this! .maybe I’ll tell my mom they’re looking for witnesses!

There’s nothing misleading about the title. It’s 100% accurate. You just made assumptions about the underlying story without reading it first.

I know, right... I feel like part of the 1% working a job that provides health care at a reasonable rate.

There are “white leaves” in every African American’s family tree because of that whole slavery thing. Even within a single family, we often have different shades.

I think pretending you’re black because being a white person from Montana is boring is a lot different than identifying as black as a result of being raised by a black family who you believe to be biologically related to you.

Well, she does look like him, FWTW.

Wait wait what is halfway decent about Drake? “Hotline Bling” is the most obnoxious slut-shaming song of recent memory. He is almost the literal personification of the “But I’m a nice guy” that is so creepy and entitled.

Addendum:

Honestly? I flipping love memoirs. I know everyone says there are too many being written but I live for addiction based/life-blowing-up memoirs. I read all the classics like “Lit,” “Drinking: A Love Story,” the newer one “Blackout” by Sarah Hepola all this past summer. Just started “How to Murder Your Life” by Cat…

I had a crush on Dan Conner in middle school and high school but I never told any of my friends because I thought they would make fun of me. Screw those snobby little bitches...I have fantastic taste.

Lilith Fair ended in 1999. If you have to go back 17 years to find one example, that shows the lack of female fronted festivals. This problem isn’t just limited to Arroyo Seco. Lilith Fair was made specifically because music festivals were dominated by men. And 17 years later, they still are. 78% of the acts at music…

You mean that female-driven rock festival that happened 20 years ago in direct response to the exact kind of “whoops, we can’t think of any women to book” festivals that is being called out in the article? Personally, I think you are clueless.

I have a lot of pans, I can fry more than one fish at a time. It’s bizarre to me that so many dudes are coming out to defend against a pretty simple complaint. This piece was so tame, wouldn’t call it “outrage.”

i want to go for a full fiona set which hasn’t happened since her last tour. i don’t think.

Given the current “leadership” in DC, I assume that the women will be held responsible for being women.

Remember Jael Strauss from ANTM? She’s biracial (her mom is Black).
