One of the best episodes of the Mindy Project! Check it out on Hulu

Hole is amazing.

I’ll say to this what I say to all hip religion:

If nothing else I appreciate that she doesn’t care if people think she’s gay. Dress’ references to not wanting someone like a best friend is especially surprising to me since everyone knows she and Karlie are besties. But all the gender-neutral songs on there are also notable.

The other day I was listening to Hole and someone made fun of me for that. Two days later, I was listening to Taylor and someone made fun of me for that. And my dad gives me hell for being a Bob Dylan fan. I like what I like and don’t understand this music shaming business!

Love it. Zero shame. Don’t Blame Me on repeat.

Gorgeous gets 100% better when you imagine it’s about Karlie Kloss.

I pre-ordered it and have been playing it on repeat all week. I love it!

“And, of course, the fact that Reputation isn’t streaming boosts potential sales as well.”

I’m surprised more companies aren’t doing those strategies to move albums. IIRC The Japanese music industry has used the whole “use the album to move tickets and vice versa” thing for years.

End Game is an excellent song, I don’t care who knows it.

Continuous props to Ronan Farrow. And a reminder of how hard it is even for publications like The New Yorker and The New York Times to publish these stories, even with the support of their extensive legal team.

Are there any Republicans who aren’t pedophiles? At this point, I just assume that all Trump supporters are sex offenders.

Exactly. If songwriters were excellent musicians or vocalists, they’d be performing their own work. We’re supposed to pretend the performance isn’t important in order to maintain the illusion that a woman of color is being unfairly enriched by doing something few people can do as well as she can?

And of course, there was deep introspection from the GOP about how a family values Senator would turn out to be a sex trafficking pedophile, resulting in selection reform, a zero tolerance approach to sexual harassment, and an apology from the heads of the party for the rank hypocrisy of its law makers...

I agree with all of the above, save for my reservation that while all of it looks gorgeous, none of it looks anything like how I picture things from the book. And I am not talking about the diverse cast — that is wonderful. When a movie adapts a book, how the characters look compared to how they were described in the…

how often do you see rapists and sexual harassers on death row? or even convicted?

One frustrating thing I’ve learned from experience: no matter how well liked you are, no matter how good your reputation, there’s always the chance that people will turn on you for talking. We once had someone on staff that... pretty much everyone who worked with him agreed that some of his behaviours were alarming;…
