A few years ago she appeared at New Orleans Jazz Fest, and the day before her set, she went to the fest as a fan — hung out, said hi to the fans who recognized her out of makeup and her usual stage get-up. What I liked most is that she apparently pigged out on a lot of the food at the fest, then told her audience the…

I disagree - there will always be a handful of pop stars who still get play years down the road, and I bet Perry is one of them. Her biggest hits are 10 - 12 years old and most people can still sing along without thinking twice.

Just because power corrupts does not mean that every character will be corrupted. And Maeve is hardly good. Just not as bad.

Because it would be pretty foolish to present oneself as an expert on a particular medium without giving some thought to the most widely consumed works within the medium? Maybe.

It is not unclear how long the tweet was up before twitter stepped in. It was 5 hours. Which is a pretty long time to let that be there.

Slowly-slowly  Korean performers are becoming better known in the US. IU, Taeyeon, AKMU, Zico, EXO, Big Bang, Red Velvet, Day6, UhHyuk, Girl’s Day, Lee Hyori, Suzy. I’m just some random suburban dude in his 60s and even I know about these artists!

If Twitter really gave a shit about “the public interest” they would have banned him years ago.

My God they have perfect skin.

The day I heard Trump was going to ban TikTok, I installed it on my phone.  Didn’t look at for a while, but now I’m hooked, and as a middle-aged white guy, I know I’m not the target audience.

That clip of Batman beating the piss out of that juggalo reminded me: as a kid, I loved Batman: The Animated Series, but I always felt sympathetic toward whatever low level goon Batman was stomping into the ground that week. Okay, the dude robbed a bank and was getting away on foot with his ill-gotten gains; is it…

Buffy is my favorite show and it was was running my freshman year of college. Unfortunately I had a stupid bug up my butt about the premise and it wasn't until the last season that I got into it thanks to syndicated reruns on TNT. They played in the morning when I was working a graveyard shift job and couldn't fall…

I don’t find an issue with ‘don’t drag me into your petty bullshit’ responses like this, or how every musician does a ‘don’t play our music at your rallies” response. It’s a way to distance themselves, which is valuable.

Isn’t Marge the best of the Simpsons? Like Homer is a moron, Bart isn’t much brighter, Lisa is bright but often self-righteous and hypocritical. Marge is flawed on occasion, but she’s often used as the voice of reason. I don’t even get why being compared to Marge is that big of an insult. She’s not my favorite…

Perhaps not, but they have ready access to Disney+, old sport.

as exhausted as I am by the last 3+ years, I hope I will never get used to the constant, petty, stupid, childish, name-calling by everyone in his administration (well, at least for the next few months). Think how many of his tired nicknames Dipshit used in his press conference—Sleepy Joe, Pocahontas, etc. All the…

The show is definitely whitey whitesville, which is probably accurate to the writers’ experience... but obviously that says something about the writers’ room.

The Other Two’s great. Excited for more people to get into it. 

Haha! Mental Illness is funny!

Yes, it is a distraction that the Right is exploiting. But that’s the whole point. Don’t throw the Right a bone by doing stupid stuff like pulling Kindergarten Cop. That just makes the real arguments against police brutality and racism seem trivial for being associated with them.
