She got signed to a label at 17, released an EP that nobody paid attention to in 2017, and has been putting out music and touring for almost a decade.

Chappell Roan is phenomenal and I’m so happy to see her finding success after lots of setbacks and toiling in obscurity for years.

I mean she’s on a major label, what you call being an “industry plant” is just the label doing it’s only job

I looked her up expecting to find another nepo baby but hey, she’s actually an unknown who made it on talent. Good for her! Good for Missouri. They could always use a win.

Christ, isn’t a little early for the “Baby It’s Cold Outside” clickbait discourse machine to fire up again? Didn’t we settle this years ago, or has the COVID brain fog destroyed that part of our collective memory?

I love Abbott, I love Gregory and I love Janine, but I’m a little played out on the Gregory-Janine will they/won’t they. For me, the strength of the show is in the ensemble and how they all play so differently with the challenges of the setting.

This just confirms my opinion that people who do pranks on people are just assholes.

Unbelievably fucked up for the tone of this article to be “well, he’s worked for Johnny Knoxville and Eric Andre, he should expect to be physically assaulted at random times.”

“ generally accepted Western standard of ‘innocent until proven guilty’ however”

“Innocent until proven guilty” just means the jury should only vote guilty if they think there’s no reasonable doubt about it. Literally no one else in the world but those twelve people is under any obligation to consider it. And if anyone wants to argue this, I’ll just ask: did you wait until Harvey Weinstein was…

Look, I’m glad they let you out the house to watch a movie, and that it had an impact on you, but I’m the head editor for a content writing agency in real life, and I swear, if an article like this crossed my desk it’d go straight to another writer to rewrite.

Based on the review, I can say for certain it’s a movie.

Back to Black is a really good album, you should check it out.

KotPotA cost $160 million to make and is doing well critically. The previous movie in the franchise made less than $500 million worldwide. Less than $150 million of that gross came from the American box office. Kingdom’s $56 million opening is roughly on par with War’s $56 million opening.

Correct. The “no one knows what they’re doing” era of Pop music was the 90s, in which swing, big bang, quasi surf rock, ska, and The god damned Squirrel Nut Zippers all got chances to shine on “pop” stations.

His and Ryan Gosling’s recent tonsorial moves indicate that 2024 is to men’s hair what 1980 was to pop music: Nobody knows what the hell they’re supposed to be doing.

What a bizarre critique. The special was funny;  like, really fucking funny. He revealed as much as he needed to in order to make the jokes work. Not every special needs to be doing some sort of Hannah Gadsby style confession.

It’s a fine example of human shield writing: where you put in a few (token) themes of marginalisation, and then hide behind them whenever you face any criticism:

“ admit that it was universally hated by people on both sides of the culture war”

So you spend the entire article telling us the multitude of ways the show fails in every aspect of it’s presentation, admit that it was universally hated by people on both sides of the culture war, (One of the few pieces of content they DO agree on), and yet still feed us the same old tired, “Unjustified condemnation…
