But my point is that some people refuse to be educated. I'm not saying no one should try.

No, Universal Music got that $100 million. The band got about 20% of that.
The only way to make progress on this and many other fronts is to educate thought leaders on the other side. If we don't talk to the people who disagree with us, even seemingly immovable blowhards like O'Reilly, then change can't occur. Just getting O'Reilly to budge a little bit is a victory.
I can't say I'm even remotely surprised. One of my coworkers is currently hawking that Arbonne nonsense, and she keeps mom-scolding me for not using "all-natural" makeup. Normally, I wouldn't give a shit (a lot of my expensive-ish products are Too Faced or Urban Decay or BareMinerals, which are often vegan or…
A French woman I know (and really who could know more about this than a French woman?) said zat all yoooo need is water and sleep.
He did. And then the guy responded "And you look like a cocaine user!"
I admit I didn't have faith that Stewart would be able to make the argument effectively and started off wishing it was Ta-Nehisi Coates in his chair. But I think he did a good job sticking with factual, details about housing policies while O'Reilly was just spouting vague platitudes about working hard.
Back in the mid 80's I saw U2 at the Hollywood Sportatorium where I had a front row seat. The crowd surged forward, smashing me against a bar separating the crowd from the band. In between there were bodyguards who evidently were under orders to protect the band and fuck everyone else. A very large man was hitting me…
Exactly. The idea that he was going to convince O'Reilly of white privilege makes me side eye Stewart.
God, Bono is such a fraud. The band reportedly got 100 million dollars out of Apple. Giving it to people was not the result of "a touch of generosity". Generosity would have been actually giving it away, for free, to whoever wanted it regardless of what brand of smart phone they had...you know, like Radiohead did with…
You know what's worse? A penis that is too big.
Whenever I encounter people say things like Grandma is there, I say really flatly (like, totally emotionless, totally unaffected): "Wow, that's really racist."
Protip: do not date one year olds.
If any of you haven't clicked the bottom video yet, DO.
Did he go to Hollywood Upstairs Medical College?
I've actually commented about this on another article but my friends little sister, who is 12 years old, broke up with someone in the most hilarious and hardcore way ever. Like never in a million years would I be this clever and I am an adult. She apparently went up to her then boyfriend and said "Want to see a magic…
After an emotionally—and, rarely, physically—abusive relationship in a foreign country of four long years, my foreign partner convinced me to lie about a family illness to take an unpaid leave of absence from a job I was just about to get promoted at and go home to visit my family for the first time in two years (I…
My freshman year of college, I made the mistake of dating a very serious born-again Christian. (I was raised both Catholic and Unitarian Universalist, I'm not sure what he was doing in the relationship either.)
Is that better or worse than a post-it?
