Those numbers don’t seem that outrages, especially when compared to Google Play, it looks more like Apple is just willing to pay more in general. Also I would be interested in knowing how many plays in general each service gets compared to the other. If Spotify gets double/triple the plays that Apple does, then it…

Also, little girls aren’t the only ones who love princesses! My nephews (5 and 3) are obsessed with female rulers and heroines—my sister recently sent me a picture of Oldest dressed as Anne Boleyn, and Youngest would like to be Batgirl for Halloween.

I love this answer because I’m a grown-ass woman and a feminist, and I also love me a tutu and some glitter. Since I have a little more information about the world than your average 6-year-old, I can frame my love of tutus and glitter anyway I want; I don’t have to be a princess. I can be David Bowie for halloween or…

For whatever it’s worth, I was a total Disney girl growing up - I had all the princess costumes, I went as Jasmine for Halloween once and wore the costume as pajamas for a solid year after, until it didn’t fit anymore, I had Barbies, I liked the color pink best. I played with makeup starting at age 12 and was…

Not letting your daughter go to a party because you don’t like the theme seems really petty. You don’t need to prove anything, there’s no feminist jury on the sidelines judging your every decision, and I think you should let go of the pressure you’ve put on yourself because it seems counterproductive. Forcing her to…

You know why my daughter gets amazing grades? I only dress her in neutral colors. If she would go full grayscale, she could be valedictorian but I pick my battles.

Trying to deny your kid a thing is the best way to guarantee that they want nothing but that thing.

That’s nice. But the NYT just dropped a must read Trump interview.

Ok then, you’d be shocked. I don’t personally know anyone who worked this specific shoot, but I do know quite a few people in the film/tv/commercial production industry, and overall I’ve found them to be highly socially conscious and active. Not to mention probably two-thirds of the people working this ad had no idea…

Some of the examples are a little harsh - I think in terms of gay dads and interracial couples for Cheerios and Gap ads, yeah, they expected some minor backlash but thought they would take the hit in the name of gaining some ground with a millenial audience who align with these values, but you know what? That was…

All of these exist with the sole purpose of being featured in instagram photoshoots.

Why do we think Rachel was boring?

Here’s a link to the actual study if you are interested

They are being a dick because it’s Felicia Day. Talking shit to or about Day is a requirement of freshman trolling courses at Pepe University (Go Frogs!).

I read that as more a tong-in-cheek joke, but it is also true that there is such a study. The conclusion of the study isn’t exactly what she is claiming (which is how news reports framed the study, I doubt she read the paper). Here’s a relevant bit:

Honestly, I think that Nick and Jess function way better as friends than they do as lovers (hate that word, couldn’t come up with a better option). Their romantic relationship was a trainwreck, and not in a good way. They broke up for very good reasons, which were that they are both stubbornly themselves and want…

And

Apparently, this ad was created by Pepsi’s in-house “content creation arm,” because Wieden+Kennedy or BBDO or a real ad agency wouldn’t be so fucking busy navel gazing that they’d let this one past the goalposts.

Sometimes when I see ridiculous commercials, I try to imagine what that pitch meeting must have been like, and I feel like the phrase “protest is the new brunch” was uttered in this one.

Wasn’t the statement by the Marvel exec more or less in support of the diversity of characters, and was just pointing out that the “fan response” has been negative, but that wont deter them from continuing their efforts?
