It was a fire at a Great White show that you’re referring to, I think. Pretty horrific.

What’s weirder than Kanye West getting an honorary doctorate? Someone who embellishes his family honoring his recent achievement (by suggesting they said “REAL DOCTOR” instead of “doctor”).

You have a point, but the ‘honorary’ point figures really heavily. Kanye is never going to steal the job of someone with a real doctorate, and I’m pretty sure no one actually thinks he put in years and years of academic work to earn his title. Perhaps I’m naive but I like to think that if I ever get a doctorate (only…

You’d have better luck explaining it to the team of writers who penned the intros and the teenagers who introduced him.

Can we talk about what sounded like the Jenner girls being booed while they did the intro? I saw a few mentions of it on Twitter but it came and went. I’m still thinking about it. Specifically, how gross it was that two teenaged girls were booed like that. I tend to cut them a lot of slack because 1. they’re kids and…

Go ahead, no attribution needed, and I think it was a typo anyway (I meant to put an I in there).

I just slammed my head against a wall. People are dumb. DID THEY HEAR HIS CADENCE TONIGHT? Good fucking lord, “not music,”... I want to shake them all.

Aw, but they don’t say “...a REAL...”. They just say doctor.

I have 4 guesses:

YES, and plus it’s not like this is new. It has been happening for so long. Why is everybody getting their panties up in a twist just because Kanye West got it? I mean, KERMIT THE FROG has one. The pissy PhD candidates are painfully funny.

But here’s the thing: he’s rehearsed this week. Many times over. So getting the bleeping wrong? Lazy as fuck. And bleeping 1/3 of the songs? Nonsense. Considering what else ABC airs at the 9pm slot? This bleeping is fucking arbitrary and ridiculous.

*shrugs* won’t hold it against you ‘cause hell if I remember anything further than like the last 5 posts.

My biggest issue with doctoral students getting huffy about it? Them not understanding how HUGE of a donation from the artist/politician/celebrity goes with it. Like, that shit funds your (increasingly few) tenured professor positions. It doesn’t make your time, books or tuition any cheaper but it makes it so your…

Ralph is the strongest Breaker.

*meh* I’m wrapping up my 5th year in a phd program and yet I have 0 qualms with that part of their introduction. Like I get why it’d be annoying to some people, but *shrugs* honorary doctorates are altogether weird.

It’s live, so there’s an actual person at a button trying to keep up. Can’t really blame them for not getting it spot on.

ok ona note about the censorship: He did rehearsals right? And I know Kanye doesn’t give any fucks about people criticizing him...but for a network to still put this performance on the air mostly bleeped...is weird.

Which between that and the fact you can barely see anything on the stage b/c of the pyro...it’s boring…

Any sort of indoor/close quarters pyrotechnics make me nervous.

It’s so weird to me, what gets bleeped and what doesn’t. It’s wrong hear the word “side” in “South Side,” but “bitches” gets a pass, several times over?

I looked. I looked HARD. But I didn’t see Kanye in the live performance or in this video. WHERE WAS KANYE DURING KANYE’S PERFORMANCE
