Apart from children raised in a Scientology household (shudder), I really don't know how anyone is dumb enough to get suckered into a scam that is this transparently inane and phony.

My husband and I are still convinced that guitar never came back down again, BECAUSE PRINCE IS MAGIC.

This is a good starting place- Seriously, watch til the end.

The problem here as with any ecosystem that is out of balance, is the lack of the clowns natural predator The Mime. We need to bring in some Mimes and reintroduce them to into the clown heavy areas. Once the natural balance is restored the clowns and mimes will only prey on one an other and the rest of us will be safe.

Yeah, fuck the police! That is, of course, until you need them.

I agree. I think that this doesn't bother me because it was included as a part of dance styles in general - she recognized that hip-hop is a legitimate dance style and gave it no more disdain than any of the other ones. And if the point was that she doesn't fit in there, then is she really appropriating?

Oh, and this video has quite a few POC in it. Like I said earlier I'm a POC myself so I think I always notice when pop music videos are all/99% white (almost all the time unless the artist isn't white) and this one has much more racial inclusion in ALL the styles of dancing. I'm the first to admit I'm a biased TSwift…

No white dancers!

I'm all for pointing out cultural appropriation and calling out those who perpetrate it, but I fail to feel outrage over this video. I mean at least Taylor thinks that it's a dance equivalent to ballet and interpretive instead of going, "eww black girls shaking their asses, yuck". And if all the dancers were white,…

"Byers is committing to remaining a member of her church" - good for her, it's still a clusterfuck, and maybe I'd have more respect for her if she disavowed herself until they righted their wrongness...but then again, that would mean their wrongness is fluid (which is it because this is a made-up religion) and she…

From my own personal (and therefore anecdotal) experience, the policy isn't anti-woman, not entirely. According to the article, she didn't identify what happened to her at the time as assault, so as far as the people she "confessed" to, she'd engaged in consensual sex. It's not mentioned at all, but I'm willing to…

It comes down to this statement in her letter, " I still think the idea of committing to someone for eternity is beautiful." According to Mormon belief, you can only be with your family in heaven if you are Mormon and follow all of their rules. Leaving the faith means rejecting your family, and, in her case, future…

I grew up in a very Mormon home, and 4 out of 5 of my siblings went to BYU. Of the 4 who attended, 3 of them chose to abide by the code of conduct set forth. The other, my sister, left after a year. Not by being kicked out, but because she realized it wasn't the place for her. Hopefully Keli will come to that same…

I ended up leaving the Mormon church after looking for other members who thought like me about the role of women in the church (i.e. believing I had value even before becoming a wife and mother). This girl won't last much longer. Fortunately, there's a thriving, ever-growing ex-Mormon community in Provo and SLC.

Ok, so we're applauding her, but why isn't anyone asking her to question the faith that she is blindly following even though it's that very faith that she's running up against?

Maybe this is unfair or unnecessarily judgmental, but I feel like this would be more funny/less sad if she didn't have some minor IRL connection to him. Like, if your wacky friend did this as a goof that went viral, it would be great, but knowing that this poor lady is just kind of counting the minutes until BC…

Creepy.

He sounds like a nightmare version of Doge!
