Ever since the Tilda Swinton ‘fight’ I’ve taken everything Cho says with a grain of salt. She seems to have a flair for the dramatic, which doesn’t help us when we want to be taken seriously regarding our concerns over lack of diversity.

Meh, a lot of bands do this thinking they may not tour again. Even is he didn’t call it a farewell tour but told everyone LCD Sound System would be taking a break for a while, that would probably ad people snatching up tickets right away too.

When did selling out ever exist except for in the minds of naive people who think art can exist independent of commerce under a capitalist system?

“It wasn’t a ploy,” he claims. So it’s conceivable (if you want to keep scarfing down what Murphy is feeding you) that he already had the idea to disband and then just took the leap when the opportunity presented itself.

frontman James Murphy admits that the pronounced goodbye was contrived to sell tickets:

I actually thought he was a little embarassed by the whole thing. His kids are old enough to be on the internet.

From the show Designing Women, season 3, episode 17, wherein Charlene gets engaged and is tested by her fiancé’s snooty family:

If she isn’t new money she’s acting like it. Obligatory:

When I hear rich people bitch about taxes, I can’t even fathom it. I’m proud that my taxes go to things that my fellow patriots need, like Obamacare, and I guarantee that the dollars coming out of my paycheck mean a lot more to me than the dollars from their... paychecks? Estate taxes? Whatever you call the taxes rich…

Oh, that wasn’t a knock on you! More of a knock on Hollywood’s stupid beauty standards. She’s perfectly adorable, she’s just not toothpick-skinny like the rest of the lady cast. I really like Alyson Hannigan in that part (Willow is my favorite character and her comic timing is magical), but, like, Whedon could have…

Star Trek’s Terry Farrell is engaged to Adam Nimoy.

That ends up insulting Hannigan as “less attractive”. Eesh.

??? There was a diff Willow in the pitch pilot that got remade for the 1st episode that aired. That actress (don’t remember the name) was heavier, and she didn’t make it into the official 1st episode cast.

I have never understood the appeal of Frank Sinatra after about 1960. The level of bombast that developed in his singing was truly appalling.

“I’ll never understand the sex appeal of a boozy cigarette-withered middle-aged man with a hairpiece fondly nicknamed a rat, not to knock Frank Sinatra.”

I’m not sure it’s meant to be taken literally this bit. Like the way Jonathan Swift didn’t actually intend for people to consume children, I don’t believe Tina here wants us to actually go out and just eat cake while 45 has a tea party with the KKK.

It’s your problem that you’re looking to a comedian for something way more substantial than a comedic bit. That’s all this was. Stop looking to celebrities for guidance. People are perfectly capable of knowing how to feel about Nazis without help from Tina Fey.

I’ve been making some pretty nice cherry-vanilla vodka this summer.
