It’s interesting that none of the young, progressive artists have yet to do it. So far it’s all the old hippies.

a leaked copy of the guidelines (which have apparently been in place “for years”)

Why don’t Neil Young, Joni Mitchell, and other like-minded musicians (I’m looking at you Jason Isbell) get together and record a “We Are The World”-type song and call it “Joe Rogan Is A Fucking Idiot” and watch it shoot to the top of the Spotify streaming ranks. Donate the proceeds to voter rights groups.

I’m starting to think putting my money into actual physical copies of music, or at least copies I can store on hard drives, may have been the right choice.

The problem with doing a “parody” of a bad radio bit is that you risk ending up with little more than a bad radio bit... which is what happened here.

You can be defamed by fiction if Clarence Thomas and Bret Kavanaugh vote that you can.

The abusers are to blame, but they’d have no one to abuse if women stayed away from them. I’m a woman, and, even if I’d never heard of him, a quick Google search would be enough to keep me away from a guy like this.

And Drake’s out here collabing with this POS and nobody’s holding him accountable.

You can’t be defamed by fiction.

I am a (non-practicing) lawyer so what you said makes sense—the “beyond a reasonable doubt” standard in criminal cases is in place to ensure that it is more likely for a guilty person to walk free than an innocent person be jailed, which I generally agree with except in cases like this where this scumbag couldn’t be…

Not true. Liz Cheney faced some consequences.

Also, my understanding is that courts in general are moving very slowly right now, although you’d think things like this would probably get some priority.  

I’m no law talking guy, but if the prosecution’s case hinges on a single person’s testimony or one piece of very incriminating evidence, the defense can dedicate all its attention to seeding doubt in that person and/or making that evidence inadmissible. So the prosecution needs multiple overlapping pieces of…

I’ll believe any of this is actually news worthy when this dirtbag actually faces any consequences. We’ve heard every fucking day about evidence piling up against these asshats, and to date exactly 0 Republicans have faced any sort of consequences.

Call me when someone gets more than a subpoena they can just ignore…

Everyone at A.V. Club old enough to remember the ska/swing horseshit in the 90s is probably still too traumatized to write about it in a funny breezy manner

Yeah, hassle the people who hired him or didn’t replace him, that’s fair, but actors just want to work and take the jobs they can get. Especially on a movie— TV show productions are long term and they develop relationships but films are shot in weeks and you may not even exchange two words with another cast member.

Has anybody ever complimented your taste?

The Person: He never denied her allegation that he said (I forget the exact quote) “We just have to break you in.” Also he describes it as brief. Lol.  It’s just horrific that he has drawn these other three women and their lives, credibility, and careers into his revolting shit maelstrom.

I can’t speak on if its true or false since I wasn’t there, but ontop of her post I have seen more women have stories about his predatory behavior at ages younger than 17 with evidence to back it... Definitely some creepy vibes there but thats a different conversation.

what many of them apparently didn’t realize is that this ending is...weirdly closer to what happens in the book.
