Leeching onto this incredibly astute comment to remind everyone that there is a nationwide prison strike underway right now and you should support it in any way you can.

Woo! Then we’ll just need to get Pence. And the cabinet. And the vast majority of Republicans at the local, state, and federal level. And a number of Democrats, too. And the pervasive cultural worship of power and violence that led to the election of a strongman in the first place. And all of the institutional biases associated with our neglect of those not in positions of power. And the vast inequities that lead to institutional biases.

But hey, one down.

Oh no! Where will I ever find another generic-sounding garage rock band?

It’s not her music at all… why didn’t they put out the records then? Why doesn’t studio musician 3 have 5 Grammys for one album? Why was it Lauryn? It makes no sense to me how y’all can say it wasn’t her.
Maybe you made your songs and no one wanted to listen until Lauryn sang them. Maybe you aren’t a superstar. Maybe you just don’t have that je ne sais pas to sell the records.
Then shut up and take the money Lauryn gives you KNOW YOUR ROLE

Yeah, people in military service are awful – especially when they get the nerve to write hit songs from a hospital bed. Eww. The worst.

Look, I’m no fan of Supreme Lord Cheetoh, but what even is this story? Trump asked for a picture, Sia declined, and he accepted it. Kind of just seems like an excuse to bash the man some more. Not that more bashing is uncalled for, but there are better ways to go about it than a fluff piece. You’re better then that stereogum.

That last line got a laugh out of me though.

So much misogyny in these posts it’s really disgusting. As if you would ever be making these sorts of remarks about a male musician with a big ego.

“The Ballad of Barry Sadler” would make for a much more interesting song than “The Ballad of the Green Berets”
