so, no one suggested to keep this around 1,000 words max?

Dwayne was injured a lot. He was cooking Hot Pockets for the upperclassmen.

Objection: calls for speculation.
Judge: sustained

atty: did you see anything plugged into the wall?
sarcasm: no.
atty: did you see Dawn plug anything or unplug anything?
sarcasm: no.
atty: did you hear Beth or Dawn say anything about the electricity she was using
sarcasm: no. But absence of evidence is not evidence of absence
atty: objection calls for conclusion
judge:…

The conversation wasn't about Beth. Maggie reminded Abe that he wasn't the only person who lost someone and to get over himself. You could argue that Maggie was referring to herself and any number of people including Hersh, but Beth was the most likely one on her mind.

Beth stabbing Dawn was kind of like the scene where the little animal bites Nausicaa on the finger in the Miyazaki animation.

No evidence that it was even plugged into anything. She was just riding.

Maggie hinted in her conversation with Abe in 507 that she had already come to terms with the possibility of Beth being dead already.

Sigh.

Kanye is fully aware of his BS. You lot just don't recognize it. He called attention to it on his early records, his crass nouveau riche obsession with things, but people just assumed it was a rap thing, and not a commentary on society.

If there was a "dopey goofball who introduces an attack on liberalism into the strangest places" award you would win it hands down.

In my piece on Seeds I correctly predicted the kind of whining about the record more accessible than their previous works. On occasion, making melodic accessible music is just fine and can be critic-worthy as the next record. I mean, people giving Swift's 1989 24 stars and whining about Seeds . . .

For men it hasn't changed. So, what do you mean?

Have you read the Kim K comments in this thread?

Yeah, right. That time never existed.

Once you fall down the rabbit hole of cultural appropriation you often crack your skull against racial essentialism. I'd rather not get into the question of whether a culture can "own" a particular form of art so that it can be "stolen."

So, Madonna being a fake, bad, Springsteen being a fake, good?

Do we also hate Springsteen's fake Okie accent?

Fly By Night never released? I definitely saw it on television during the 90s. I don't remember her being in it, I just remember it was about some kind of battle for hip-hop between a Rakhim type and an LL Cool J type.

No, not really. Ledger was not really that showy. He wasn't chewing a lot of scenery. He played the Joker as a schizoid, and even his walk was like someone who had been taking medication for a long time. Jack was more showy.
