Yes and he also said it because she was deceased, and couldn’t refute his dumb ass claims.

This looks soooo good.  Why didn’t HBO tease it during their other shows (unless I missed that somehow...)  I laughed out loud when the woman takes out her own mic. lol  

Yes for this sane response.  

The difference is that in the Marvel movies, you may not shoot scenes with every character on set, but you are thrust together continuously for promo purposes. (Just one example: that giant photo with every Marvel player ever). So while I believe in the reality that some actors never get to meet because they don’t…

I was in a restaurant once, and totally thought this other guy waiting for a table was someone I very much knew. I also felt very warmly towards him, and I was scanning my brain to determine where we had worked together. As I approached him in this busy lobby, it finally dawned on me that I knew him, but he did not kno…

I worked in an 80,000 employee company. If I met someone 3 times, it would be embarrassing if I didn’t remember meeting them before. It’s not someone in a different department across the continent, it’s someone you actively met several times.

Love this salient point. What if people LIKE what they do? Let’s take the arts, because people can imagine loving those kinds of jobs (musician, painter, writer), should people be MADE to retire and stop doing the thing that brings them joy just because they reach a certain age?

The story about the Turtles is so horrible.  Also see the story of Credence Clearwater Revival and John Fogerty.  I mean, until Led Zeppelin came along and had a manager that demanded the band get the bulk of the $$ from their creative efforts, this was par for the course.  And of course, the music industry is still…

She didn’t have the option. I’m going to quote jt2017 who already detailed it in response to another op: “She said in her statement that she wasn’t given the option to purchase her masters outright. Which makes sense due to her catalog being the most of the value of the label as it stood. She was offered a deal to…

After sitting in many board meetings personally (part of my job), and after the garbage that was done to people like Ke$sha, Kelly Clarkson, JoJo, and countless others, I am never on the side of the record label, and am never inclined to believe whatever they put out. It doesn’t matter if you don’t like Taylor…

Wow, just more evidence that the music industry (and the entertainment industry in general) is literally and figuratively run by dicks. This calls to mind Kelly Clarkson’s battles with Clive Davis and Dr. Luke and how she was chained to them whether she wanted to be or not. And this also helps explain why Taylor was…

Exactly. See also Sarah Palin. (Side note: she was also the “shoots from the hip!” truther that first led people to believe they would actually like a dumb but outspoken person for President, and now we have him.)

This is a pivotal statement. (And jobs that are staffed by women tend to be paid less and valued less.) I’ve watched this happen with my own eyes. Me and my college/post-college boyfriend were both admins out of college, but he kept getting offers for non-admin work, because they “felt bad for him” “still being an…

This is an amazeballs reply.  Extra stars (if I could give them).  

It’s a beautiful and privileged thing to only have to work summer jobs - me and millions like me had to work year-round just to survive and pay for stuff (for me, since age 16. For MANY others - as early as they could get away with it.)  

This is what I say to people who don’t like the “democrat celebrity for president” take.  I mean, I want someone experienced as president too, but I think many of the least knowledgeable dems would actually surround themselves with the brightest and the best in each cabinet position, and take their heed from them. …

Rhetorical question: why does Trump suck so hard?

Let’s just add that arbitrarily changing the shape of our bodies because the culture told us we were hideous unless we did so - is really shitty. I’m anti-shapewear for the very reason that it exists to teach us that we’re unattractive naturally, and we need to contort our bodies unnaturally (and uncomfortably!) in…

The person who keeps challenging you on this stance seems to be under the “it’s too expensive to help other people” syndrome. (It’s the same type of person who says “we can’t afford national healthcare because it’s too expensive” when our country overspends on defense contractors and overbuys military weapons and…
