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 earn one record back per each new one she put out. Knowing that Borchetta (the label head) was in market to…

“For years I asked, pleaded for a chance to own my work. Instead, I was given an opportunity to sign back up to Big Machine Records and ‘earn’ one album back at a time, one for every new one I turned in,” Swift wrote.

You know, there's a whole article underneath the headline that you're also supposed to read.

Shocking that the guy responsible for Justin Bieber is kind of a d-bag. 

Oh my god, Kanye is a Scooter Braun joint?! That makes so much sense.

I’m surprised that she doesn’t have rights to her back catalog.

Ugh, what a nightmare. I feel for Taylor, because while the music industry has always excelled at exploiting young artists at the beginning of their careers, selling their catalogs to their sworn enemy just seems like an extra dose of evil fuckery. It will be interesting to see what, if anything, comes out of her…

When I tan/sunburn the lines are pretty damn straight.  Hell, left arm has a very distinct tan line just from when I’m driving.

So....how many of you read the Jeff Goldblum quote,
with the Jeff Goldblum voice in your head?

Them there Duggars coulda done so much better (with love and apologies to Dr Seuss)

I liked the Hawaii season, but I totally agree that it was basically when the tide started to turn and the cast wasn’t nearly as real anymore, and went from being basically themselves to characters. Because David is right....there is nothing on television that can compare to those first few season of the RW. It’s…

The “women support everything” mindset is deeply ingrained and what causes a lot of this crap. The old sexist cliche of the boss telling his secretary that “the place can’t run without you” isn’t untrue in the boss’s mind; without his support staff he could get nothing done. But that doesn’t mean he rewards them…

Because there the OPEIU is very small and hardly visible just now. It’s starting to change, but access to those large companies, law firms especially, is really difficult. Most admins don’t start off wanting to be career admins, they just get really good at it. Most of us began thinking it would do to pay rent, then…

I have never understood why legal secretaries/administrative assistants don’t unionize. Law firms would collapse without them, yet they are often the most underpaid staff in the firm. They come in early, stay late, work weekends, often on salary so they receive no overtime, all  for a bunch of cheap flowers and a…

To take our minds off the megalomaniacal, doddering fascist in the Whitehouse.

Why do the English think Meghan was a superstar in America? Hardly anyone knew her before her involvement with Harry. Sorry, its true. 

Bingo.

I think it’s largely because it has nothing to do with us. I mean, I’m not particularly obsessed with them myself, but it’s like “look at this weird arcane shit our cousins across the pond do! How fancy and obsolete! We don’t have anybody wearing crowns, look at those sparkly crowns!” I think it’s the same impulse…

I think you’re reading too much into an isolated moment. They are wrangling three small children at an event where they know they’re on full display. And I wouldn’t expect them to be beaming at each other constantly like besotted newlyweds at this point. I’d hate to have my public interactions with my husband under…
