I don’t care what you think about Ariana Grande, her music or her dress. This is wrong. That bishop’s hand should not be on her breast: I just saw this because I’ve been working and not watching
#ChurchToo
The bishop who officiated Aretha Franklin's funeral apologized to Ariana Grande for how he touched her onstage and a joke he made about her name. ajc.com/news/exclusive…

Care to learn why Taylor Swift decided to make her non-sense political statements last week?

Wondering why, after years of avoiding politics, she decided to change her ways?

I’ll tell you.

I’m surprised I haven’t seen anyone put 2&2 together yet.
Before I continue, I would like to state that I’m a grown man; I don’t think I’ve ever heard a Taylor Swift song in my life.

Also, I’m not a huge Pop music fan. I just remember randomly reading about this situation.

There’s definitely more to it than what I’ll tell you
See,

Before the #swiftright commits mass suicide, let me tell you something.

Taylor Swift was born in 1989, she’s 28 years old and is worth a reported $320 million. She doesn’t give a 💩 about politics.

Ariana Grande has to disable Instagram comments after Mac Miller’s overdose.

After he got in an accident and got a DUI she responded to trolls with this:

This is all part of that same narrative where we tell women to nurture and care for others more than themselves. And we blame them when their womanly super powers don’t protect a man from himself.
I’m speaking about heterosexual relationships cause that’s my experience. But this shows up in so many small ways it’s no surprise that the big ways become part of that narrative.

I feel like driving up some controversy, so how about a thread of Hot Takes/Unpopular Opinions! You know the drill, one like = one take/opinion.

Start easy: the blunt awkwardness/cringe of 'Blurryface' is the point of taking the piss out of Tyler. I stand by my light 9/10.
2. I don't hate Nickelback's 'Dark Horse' - it's easily a record for them at their most tasteless, but the frat-bro swagger of it helps some of their better hooks.
3. 'Fireflies' by Owl City is a genuinely terrific song that captures precocious, starry-eyed wonderment better than few others in the 2000s.

It is SPECTACULARLY lame, but that's why it works.
