She deserves parental rights over her kids and I feel sorry for her in that regard as she was with a manipulative and likely abusive asshole but I confess, asking me to give the slightest shit about Grimes otherwise is probably a bit much. She’s a fucking idiot.

Can’t wait for the inevitable think pieces comparing the box office performances of Taylor Swift and Beyoncé’s respective concert films.

“It’s really unfortunate that a woman who authored the Federal Assault Weapons Ban of 1994 will be remembered for aging so ungracefully out of government.”

In a year not a single person will care about the last few months of her time in the Senate; that less than a quarter of the words here are…

No snippy messages at Pink concerts?

God. Lucky bastard. How cool would it be to know if you play your cards right you’ll have a Grammy award winning best selling album written about you? Best I was able to do was when I preened too much that time I dated Carly Simon.

I don’t think Bill Maher is capable of feeling stupid. 

White men have appointed themselves as gate keepers of the intellect. Jann Wenner thinks Gaye/Curtis Mayfield/Stevie Wonder are inarticulate. But Mick Jagger ripping off Little Richard is genius? White men think whatever they do is intellectual. But they imagine women and Black people have no theoretical frameworks.…

I’ve also heard that, but I don’t think that Brand is that calculating. I think his drift to the Right is just a natural consequence of being “anti-establishment” without being grounded by any greater ideology. That allowed him to be as easily swayed by the social media algorithms as his followers. He was rewarded…

It really is obnoxious.  Good on that interviewer on trying to press him and get him to at least acknowledge that maybe the thing that drove him to select interview subjects was more his own personal interests, not what black or woman artists were broadly capable of articulating.  But old Jann was having none of it. …

The interview with Jann Wenner is even worse than the summaries make it sound.

My dad is an über-fan of The Sopranos. Though I don’t think he followed the careers of the cast as closely as he did with The Godfather’s crew.

All I know is she never had the makings of a varsity influencer

Hold up, I can finally work “she was gonna shake her ass on the hood of Whitesnake’s car” into a conversation? I’ve only had to wait 19 years!

Hey, early ‘00's college students with free Maxim subscriptions would like to have a word.

Or Sons of Anarchy. 

Solid joke and I’m sorry for stepping on it, but honest I only know her from Joey.

I've only ever seen the Pine Barrens episode which was so good that I did not feel the need to see another.

“I hope you’re never in the fucking position I’m in.”

That position being, refusing to protect yourself and others from a deadly pandemic, at the expense of your career, and then acting like YOU’RE the victim?

Thankfully, I will never be in the fucking position you’re in.

While this is true, I think the debate is more about personal integrity and patterns of siphoning work without credit and not quite whether or not conducting oneself in such a way is against the law. Of course it’s not illegal to do this, but should one continuously support the work of an artist who might be willing…

You’d think that, by now, dating apps would’ve clued people in to that fact that you’re not always gonna get what you expect from the picture.
