I think they’re talking about commercially but yeah... “success” is a little subjective here. I’d take lower sales than another AI alumnus if an Oscar was the tradeoff.

The actors on the left (except the one holding the space muffin pan, I can’t see him clearly enough) are Riz Ahmed and Diego Luna, neither of whom are white.

I’m just gonna reply to myself on this since there seem to be a lot of MRAs popping up who I don’t wanna ungrey but there’s sure a lot of people who don’t understand the meaning of the word “if”.

If she really believes that it’s okay to work with someone you KNOW is a rapist just because “well, it probably won’t happen to me”, nah. That’s shitty reasoning and she can gtfo.

lol at any label coercing J. Lo in to working with anyone she didn’t want to. She’s worth more than Dr. Luke, even to Sony. She chose this.

Felicity Jones is the only white person in that photo (aside from maybe the hard-to-see background guys, who may or may not be.)

Re: point C if we do, I hope we start with all the Brutalism. No special reason, other than I just really fucking hate it.

Anyone in Austin could tell you that’s absolutely not true. In large part due to protests organized by students UT relocated statues of Jefferson Davis and Woodrow Wilson that students deemed offensive from their campus mall over to their history center, where they will add plaques with additional contextual…

There’s nothing wrong with this in the least, it’s obviously a canopy to help people avoid sunlight in open spaces. I approve.

You need to read more Buzzfeed, then you will appreciate what The Onion is doing with Clickhole.

“Reasons aside, some folks prefer some things, others prefer another.”

That’s fair to say they ought to at least offer some alternatives they’d like to see. But I don’t think that just because someone doesn’t choose to back up their opinion with a 12-page MLA-style (do they even do that anymore?) paper with footnotes on why they feel the way they do about it makes it lazy.

“I have a lot more information than I’ve given out” also sounds like he’s into some pretty deep conspiracy shit.

Ask him to approach the bench, then whack-a-mole him on the back of the hand for even daring to utter something as utterly asinine as “I choose not to do business with this court”.

That’s not really the point, though. Just because they can afford it doesn’t mean the money couldn’t have been better used elsewhere.

Taste is of course a subjective thing. Personally, I would rather have a piece of art that I liked than one that I didn’t, or else what would be the point in having it? That said, there’s plenty of pieces I like that others might find ugly, and others might really like works that I think are absolutely hideous.…

If you hadn’t said it was supposed to be someone’s face I would have thought it was a fountain sculpture of a fire hose on the loose.

Houston has a very similar Calder outside their art museum. They’re weird and spidery but in a very cheerful sort of way.

Not especially. I’d still rather look at it than the Moore. It’s shiny, has a slightly futuristic/spaceship look to it, and also reminds me of Yayoi Kusama’s Narcissus Garden installations. All wins, as far as I’m concerned.

I’m surprised that isn’t a university chapel altarpiece.
