No, idiot, she’s right when she said facetiously that she’s now an authority on rape. I was questioning why we consider her viewpoint at all important. She’s a rock singer. Fuck you, person with poor reading comprehension.

I know she is an iconic figure, but seriously, she’s right - since when did she become an authority on rape? I don’t know why we expect our entertainers to be paragons of virtue and sages when they’re famous for being entertainers. Let’s worry when actual “authorities on rape” spout nonsense, not when aging rock stars…

Third from the right, you mean?

I love @probirdrights, even though I have a cat. (Who would probably enjoy being in a box. Not locked, but inside.)

What exactly is a “long elevator ride”? Does one normally take such an elevator ride with another person or persons, so that taking it alone is a sign of something being terribly wrong?

Anyone else see this? Strangely beautiful but weird movie about free diving, and the ending is apt. I have no idea if the protagonist’s love of free diving was a philosophy similar to Natalia’s, but it gets into the mindset pretty deeply. (And a bit on the trippy side, but it is Luc Besson.)

I really liked the song... :/

Came here to say the same thing - I can’t watch actual reality shows like this (but I’ll watch one where they actually create something, like Project Runway - which certainly is flawed - but at least they each have a reason to be there other than that they want to be, and they’re more than conventionally attractive)…

I have no idea how big it is. Is it made from a real shoe? So you have half a shoe hanging around your neck? Is it miniaturized? I would love to see a photo of someone wearing this, either seriously or ironically, because both would be entertaining. (And it is so damned yellow. Has yellow taken over for orange now?)

The only downside to this is that they’ll be faced with the fact that their abstinence only policies are NOT working, at which point they’ll say this is making teen girls slutty and said teens are, willy nilly, choosing to “pre=abort” or some such nonsense.

You leave Neil Diamond out of this.

I will leave this here. I love her.

Thank you, please I will have another.

I believe it is.

I love the Edwardian look. He wears it well, too.

Seriously? If a stranger accidentally elbowed you in the face (god forbid) and your nose started bleeding and a passer-by gave you some tissue and you absently handed it back while staunching the flow with more tissues - you’d feel a sense of betrayal that the stranger threw it away or loss for the blood? I have a…

I think that’s an entirely different circumstance, no? You have an expectation of expedience on the part of the doctor’s lab, and you don’t expect to get your blood back. I would be disturbed that the doctor lagged on my blood test if I didn’t get the test results promptly, but I can’t fathom having any feelings at…

AAAaaand you throw it away the first time your cat poops on it.

I’ve loved the actress that plays her mother ever since she was on Law & Order - the one where the rich student wants a motorcycle and his dad will only give him one if he breaks up with his “lower class” hispanic girlfriend (she’s the girlfriend). So as a last date (for revenge), she takes him to a biker bar and lets…

I felt exactly the same way. I had and still have, no interest in watching anything where the 90% of the dialog is quite literally, people yelling at each other. (Well, I only made it 15 or 20 minutes into it, so...does it ever stop?)
