Sorry, didn’t realize that was a premium article. I think the issue is less with the initial arrest — which might have been justified — but the fact that she, a teenager, was taken from her bed in the middle of the night, denied access to her parents, kept in custody as her trial was repeatedly delayed, and then ended…

Just like every other Israeli miscarriage of justice, this case has always been about sending a message. Israelis can act with almost unrestrained impunity, and Arabs always had it coming, whatever it was.

Still not good enough.

Her cousin is also a minor. He was shot for participating in a weekly protest, this one held after Trump made his Jerusalem announcement.

I whip up a big batch of ground beef with a couple chopped veggies (onions, green peppers, whatever) on the stove, then freeze it cooked in smaller portions for future meals. I can throw that into a pasta (with a jar of sauce), a curry (which is really just a jar of chickpeas, can of coconut milk, chopped tomatoes and…

You should be safe, we weren’t even included in the travel ban ;)

Another great tagline.

That feeling when you live in the Middle East and your country is in the news, but for something awesome *squee*

That sounds awesome but what I really want to know is... there’s a Crazy Ex-Girlfriend LIVE??

She really did make it big, for a minute there. What a Girl Wants, She’s the Man, Easy A, that show What I Like About You... She was all over the place for a bit. Hope she’s doing better. She’s given me a lot of laughs over the years.

My now-husband said it after a couple of months of dating, but it took me closer to six months. He was pretty bummed when I didn’t immediately say it back, but what I told him then was that I was pretty sure we were feeling the same thing, just calling it by different names. I didn’t want to say “I love you” until I…

So sorry that happened to you. Thanks for sharing your insights.

I’m Palestinian. I am very aware of Clinton’s policies toward the region. Yes, it would have been better.

I don’t hate “That’s What I Like.” I just don’t think it’s remotely iconic or memorable.

It was a fun performance. The Bodak Yellow video is still racist AF, and her “sexy niqab” look is shameful.

Not a fan of her cultural appropriation in the Bodak Yellow video either. Not at all ok for her to wear a “sexy niqab” as a sign of how money she is, and I don’t know why she is getting a pass.

Yes, that would totally be worth a Filipina being imprisoned :/

On the one hand, good for her. On the other hand, maybe they caught that VMA performance where she didn’t sing and just did a strange interpretive dance? (it later came out she was sick)

Ed Sheeran’s album overall was good — not as good as Rainbow or Melodrama, to my mind, but good. ‘Shape of You’, on the other hand, is garbage. ‘Praying’ is a goddamn masterpiece and it should have easily taken the Grammy.

Yeah, the fact that Despacito didn’t win anything is completely insane. Love it or hate it, it was the Song of the Year. Nobody looking back on 2017 is going to be like, “Oh, that was the year of Bruno Mars’ classic ode to how attractive his money makes him, ‘That’s What I Like.’”
