He was used to that vitriol whilst a private citizen. Racism isn't anything new to black people in the Americas. I think it shocked white people, who thought the presidency ought to be treated with more respect. The reality is that race and racism are in the foundation of the Republic. Unless we have a time machine,…

Oat Cloture - When the ag bill gets through the Senate

I wouldn’t want to be pregnant in the US this summer.

Nice. I did lob that one at you tho.

As I understand it, Adele is actually mainly represented by XL Recordings which is an independent English record label that works with acts like White Stripes, Beck, Jill Scott, and MIA. Because it’s an indie label, Adele gets mountains of creative control and probably a better cut of her profits though a smaller…

what the hell can Sony do but either put a firewall between Kesha and Dr. Luke or sit there being terrible and looking worse

You could hear her get a bit nervous when she said it too. Go Adele!

I definitely get the “open secret” vibe from this.

Hootch.

It’s about the interpretation and application of existing law. If you don’t like it, talk to your state representatives. But let’s stop with the bashing of the Judge and Court. Her ruling was not wrong.

Yep! I was about to say the same thing, being denied a preliminary injunction on the grounds that she wasn’t able to prove irreparable harm just means that money damages are sufficient to compensate her for any wrong doing that is eventually proven at trial. PIs are difficult to get, even more so when the party is…

This this this. Posted about this in the comments of another article. There is been no trial, there has been no verdict. People need to stop using those words.

The Court is NOT on Dr. Luke’s “side.” The Judge merely applied the law to the facts. As an attorney one of the hardest things to deal with are bad facts.
