I think we need a Shade Court special edition for this one.

I'm going to recite the name Igloo Australia over and over again. It's the only thing that made me smile this week.

That is also extremely disturbing. Plus other kids who had to have witnessed this to some degree.

why did I read this why did I read this WHY DID I READ THE CORRESPONDING ARTICLE

I need to read this takedown. I was mortified when I saw him live - I met him beforehand and wanted to talk music because I was in a band at the time, and he just prodded to see if me and one of my girlfriends were dating anyone and talked about his love life. Then he threw an epic tantrum on stage. He is/was one of…

Why is he resigning again?!

You know what, I actually think about that a lot, maybe it's because I grew up as an "alternative" kid in the 90s and it was cool for a couple of years to totally renounce anything that wasn't punk or grunge, to not be a "prep" or a jock etc.

I mentioned this below, but I'm using the phrase victim-blaming (apparently a very loaded term but unfortunately not one I can find an equivalent for) as shorthand for the knee-jerk reaction that the author of this piece deserved contempt based on her marriage ending. It's the general Internet reaction to find fault…

I'm using the phrase victim-blaming in a broader sense, because many readers were quick to make the assumption that this person brought it upon herself.

You sound like an amazing friend and someone who has an eye for nuance in human relationships.

What the fuck are you talking about?

The victim blaming on this post is staggering. As someone divorced after a year and a half, I can say this: you don't have a reference point as to what normal is or isn't, and you can chalk up a lot of conflicts as the stress of planning a wedding or whatever. It's also rude and naive to assume that the author just…

I love pop music, and pop singers, but am I wrong to think that Selena Gomez doesn't bring anything to the table? She seems like she doesn't really have a brand. Taylor Swift, Katy Perry, Rihanna, even Demi Lovato, they all have a little something unique... but Selena Gomez just always seems bored and phoning it in.

I don't think anybody thinks this guy is especially noble, but my comment speaks more to the fact that people will now believe a male's account of this situation since now it's not just "opportunistic laydeez trying to get money and attention" or whatever. It's a shame it even needs to be said.

HEY EVERYBODY LOOK, A MAN IS SAYING IT SO YOU CAN BELIEVE IT NOW.

Please more acting from Nicki this time! She's hilarious.

I'm the last person to say that every entertainer is supposed to be a role model (I loathe pearl clutching over, say, Katy Perry or Rihanna), but I also feel like the audience he's playing to (young males) may not see the irony or the art in the things he is saying and that's problematic. I don't think anyone doubts…

They're just cut glass, right?

Shortly after his resurgence with Lady Gaga and some festivals, the Village Voice article rightfully stirred up some fresh negative sentiment. That being said, fuck this movie for how it addresses him and the "relationship" he had with Aaliyah.
