It’s a free $10,000. If its a “drop in the bucket,” that’s because you have a lot of debt and a fancy job. If you have a lot of debt and don’t have a fancy job, well, shit man. 

I agree. I came out of law school in 2004 with 100,000 in debt. I’m still paying it off at 43, but with my salary I can. While its been a pain in the ass, anyone who pursues a law or medical degree has the potential to earn enough to make the payments doable. 

Exactly! I’m 40, make $100k and this will wipe out my remaining loans. That’s a lot of money I can now use to make much-needed fixes to my home. A lot of my friends can now save that $10k and maybe buy a home, or pay off other debt. This puts us so much closer financially to our friends who didn’t have student debt.

Exactly. I’m 42, I make $75k/year and I’m divorced with three children; I have $30,000 in student debt - this would knock out a third of it. That is HUGELY meaningful to me.

The average student debt load in the U.S. is around $28,000. $10-20K in forgiveness for people making under $125k isn’t a panacea, but it’s a step forward.

Don’t underplay this.

Just okay isn’t acceptable. This isn’t some random’s photo reel; this is a highly paid and respected photographer for a glamour magazine known for its photographs making the same mistakes she has made over and over.

I like the composition of the second one and think it would have been helped by a lighter color jacket maybe.

As a photographer, the header photo isn’t terrible. It’s not great either. I’d say it’s generally.... fine, if a bit underexposed. At a photo either pre-dawn or edging past dusk, it’s to be expected they are going for an understated look. Maybe a 1/3 of a stop more exposure on her, but the more I look at it, the more…

I’m actually surprised that The Sandman is supposedly doing as well as it is because most of the advertisements I’ve seen for it are on channels that I follow (i.e. social media accounts). Sites like io9 pretty much ignored it for almost its entire first week of release. Compare that to the inescapable wall-to-wall…

Literally one of the top three non-cinema adaptations of any DC/Vertigo property ever made. If they aren’t picking this one up — why bother making any more at all...?

The streaming system is fucked.

Yeah well...Anne Frank’s story might make her feel bad. REALLY bad, not, you know, three-months-of-vomiting-and-then-childbirth-and-then-giving-your-baby-away-to-strangers bad. 

A 14 year old can give birth to her rapist’s baby, but she can’t check out the Diary of Anne Frank at her school library because that's inappropriate content.

So you’re “enraged” that the magazine didn’t overrule her wishes and force her to take the photos showing what she calls her “deformity” as though it was some fucking Elephant Man-esque “expose” to serve as a prop for your agenda...

If you left sports to private clubs, then you’d be isolating a shit ton of underprivileged kids that ONLY get exposure to extracurriculars through public schools. If you’ve ever gone through club sports (or performing arts for that matter) AND through your school’s sport, you’d already know that the cost and travel…

Ironically, it’s very funny that Zaslav wants to kill the mid-budget DC streaming projects when Disney is in the middle of what appears to be a very successful pivot to doing exactly that to fill gaps between their major MCU theatrical releases.

It likely refers to singing in the “whistle” register of the voice—that REALLY high register (i.e. think Mariah Carey) that can go a full octave or more above a typical operatic soprano. Not everyone has a whistle register, though. It’s not rare, but it’s uncommon.

I’m a trained singer (soprano, classically trained)…

“Whistle toning”?

True, guess I was thinking of the Mom helping this daughter, didn’t think about telling brother that quarrels with her or religious dad that doesn’t understand the situation.  You’re right, tell one person would have been a better way to word it.
