Ginn tightly controlled the band's finances and owned their record label, and so he generally gave out scraps to his band members who were idealistically enough to remain in the band. But there are quite a few horror stories - Henry Rollins mentioned a period where he lived off dog food wrapped in bread.

Sending a child to their room is punishment. LOCKING THEM IN is abuse. If you have children and are locking them in rooms, stop. Either way, there's way more shitty things listed in the affidavit so I'm not sure what point you're trying to get across. That he's not really a bad guy?

they'll get a punk-ass slap in the face is what.

It's hard for people with good health care to understand just how poorly the poor, the non-English speakers, non-whites get treated. Stuff a suburban white person takes for granted often just doesn't exist for a lot of people, even with the ACA.

Great aricle, I've been talking about how Duncan's being turned away totally happened due to the intersection of being poor, black, and foreign. It's not hard imagine if a pert white Christian missionary returning from West Africa had come in that the situation would have looked drastically different.

Cue the oblivious angry "what racism?!" readers. In 3...2....

I can't believe that "Bushmeat" cover story is on a current issue of Newsweek. Firstly because I feel like they ran that story during the last large-scale Ebola breakout (in the 90's, IIRC), and secondly because their new cover design looks so anachronistic.

Shit like this is forbidden in Massachusetts, which may be one of the main reasons that it is my favorite state.

This is my first year that I have to miss Thanksgiving because of work. I'm pissed and it's at least for a legit reason that isn't shopping. I work at a place that is very popular with foreign tourists who know that no American is trotting out of their belly stuffing to go visit historical sites, so they come in…

this shit is fucking bullshit.

As a professor of history I just felt my heart swell, Grinch style. Good for her for coming forward.

This gif makes me happy. Fuck you, sheep.

I love Kesha. I fell in love with her when I found out that, when she was in high school, she'd go to the local university and sneak into history classes because it's her favorite topic. She did the same for physics classes. Also also she refers to her vag as her "gold Trans Am."

That's just stupid.

People on my facebook feed are saying: "He's also worked with Katy Perry, how come she hasn't come out with anything yet?"

chickens and roost and all that.

You do realize this comes off as "she was asking for it." She can drink all she wants and do whatever drugs and fuck whoever she wants. That doesn't give anyone the right to assault her or drug her.

I feel so bad for her. I am an unabashed Kesha lover - her music is fun, she seems like a cool person, and she really, really loves her fans, which are all pluses in my book. I'm glad she's out from under his influence, and hopefully can stay strong through this whole process.

Ewwwwwww.
