This part was rough to read too:

Not that they shouldn’t all fuck off (they should!) but who the hell asks people to tell them the truth about someone while that person is sitting right there in the room??? Like, what answer were they expecting to get?

Why not read her sister’s account? She didn’t seem to have a problem with it either.

Counterpoint: They don’t have to go!

I don’t see any reason why they can’t continue being artists. Now, whether they’re popular artists or not is up to the audience.

I’m an active duty Soldier (so people can feel free not to @ me). I say eliminate the damn thing. It doesn’t make any sense to play it anyway, and it always just makes me wonder if the Packers and Steelers forget what country they are in and have to be reminded at the start of every game.

Hey look, we found the ISIS member!

They’re all stupid suggestions. The only sensible solution is to stop playing the fucking national anthem.

Perhaps you’re missing the point?

Nothing Avril Lavigne does will ever be as morbidly fascinating as marrying Chad Kroeger.

From another point of view: This article, and to a lesser extent the study itself, assume the position that humanity is separate from “nature” and subsequently seen as an invasive species. But we know that’s not true, so why don’t we look at data such as this study presents as evidence of evolutionary effects of a…

Brooke says this 52-year old body comes from drinking lots of water and getting a good night’s rest, and not from dieting or insane workouts. Cue YouTube clip of “why you always lying, mmmmm oh my god stop fucking lyin!”

I’m now spending a very, very long evening explaining to all and sundry that I realise he is Indian and not black.

I don’t even think ‘black’ people are black.

Don’t ummm me, you sound like you’re mansplaining, even if you do have a Bikini Kill lyric as your handle. As a Black person, I’ve had and heard conversations with other Black people where fellow POC are referred to as Black, even if they’re not, as part of the general conversation around the oppression of minorities…

I really just find it uncomfortable to say ‘brown person’ and I don’t say ‘Indian’ because he’s not, his parents are.

May I ask what consequence you would expect to see? Am I correct in thinking the only standing accusation against him was the essay by Grace describing her successful rebuttal of unwanted sexual advances? Last time I checked, bad come ons weren’t illegal.

“Beyoncé rented out a theater at the Angelika Film Center in New York City for a private viewing of the newly released Woody Allen film Wonder Wheel for her husband’s birthday bash.”

Agreed. However, I still believe the story was published irresponsibly. It should be a point of discussion and should have been managed in a way to facilitate conversation. It was treated as equivalent to a violent crime, versus a socially acceptable violation that we need to stop accepting as normal sexual life.
