My favorite is when the interviewer specifically named Joni Mitchell and Wenner still contorts things to try to make it out like Joni Mitchell can’t “philosophize” about music like Bono can. It’s so glaring that he never considers that perhaps interviewers have never asked Joni those questions or perhaps that it’s…

Given that this sort of piece has been written about Ellen, James Corden, Letterman, etc. reading the Fallon article made me think that perhaps it’s just that the talk show workplace setup is fundamentally not compatible with modern standards and more needs to be done by execs to ensure workers are treated well. It…

Yes! At first I hated how much I loved it, then I loved how much I hated it and it somehow came around and became self-aware and I could just love it purely.

Lee read the books every year and was pretty much the on-set expert if people needed to reference the actual text

The film was released in Japan in July and the entire plot is summarized on wikipedia already. I hope I can avoid spoilers long enough to get the full experience in theaters in December.

For just $1/day you can help Jeff Bezos build another vanity space project...

Exactly, and this is how they provide much-needed context around their demands so that the rest of the public knows that what they’re asking for isn’t unreasonable and is entirely doable for these studios and distributors.

I wish there could be outright rules about one religion being disproportionately represented on the court. It’s nuts how many of the current justices were raised Catholic.

I’d point out how you can’t be libertarian of you demand the government tell people what their gender is, but these people never understand the actual definition of words like “socialism,” “libertarian,” or “fascism.”

They’re pop culture icons who played a role in shaping media and fashion with their influence. They became muses for artists, designers, photographers, musicians and videographers and more. They’re more than just models.

someone posted a side-by-side picture of Ethan and Frankie Grande on TikTok and I can’t un-see the resemblance

A boundary is about your own behavior. Saying things like “I will not tolerate your racist remarks” “I will not be in a relationship with someone whose drinking makes me feel unsafe” “I refuse to clean up after another adult” or “I will not allow myself to be talked down to.” Then you enforce that boundary by saying…

It is, in fact, manipulative to make someone break up with you instead of just breaking up with them. Saying “I am not the partner for you” is saying “I want to break up with you but I want you to have to be the one to actually verbalize the breakup so that I don’t have to feel bad about it.” Just because that’s a…

I’ve seen a lot of people simply challenge you on the parts of this book (which is a non-academic work according to everything I can find online) you say you agree with, and your response to arguments and differing opinions is to insult people and become increasingly emotional and aggressive. For someone arguing for…

this data could simply indicate that people get happier as they age. Correlation =/= causation.

She wrote an email suggesting that the students were adults and could sort out the Halloween costume thing on their own

College is a service, and while it’s not like Burger King, what you’re paying for is an education, and most would expect to feel safe and welcome in an establishment where they’re paying money. You’d stop going to Burger King if the manager of the Burger King let the staff wear blackface or hosted Nazis. And most…

Again, this protest was about Halloween costumes.

College is a service you pay for and those who pay for a service, especially when it involves housing, have consumer protections and tenant rights. This isn’t a matter of opinion. That’s a fact.

I go to CBT and I will be the first to say emotional resilience is important, but no good therapist would tell you “It’s fine if people in your home insult you or say racist things. That’s the kind of mental challenge that will help you grow.” That therapist would help you deal with the emotional fallout while…
