This is more evidence for my Grand Unifying Theory of HR, which is that it is the devil's work and should be flung into a fiery abyss.

Hard News: Game Lorde, in reply to Bart Janssen,
But it isn’t some bloke shouting over a badly played guitar or some girl whining the same three words 27 times over a drum machine and some sampled song from the 70’s.
Sigh.

it’s really an indictment on the courage of the women concerned
Because everyone banging on about how terrible "identity politics" are for Labour's chances - that has absolutely no effect on how women in the party might feel about taking on leadership roles?

No, no, I'm calling you a fogey because you said it was a bad take on "Got To Give It Up", and I think, lyrics and video aside, it's a fun, peppy-sounding take on it. You're an *instrumental* fogey. ;)
(And yeah, I know dude be old. I remember "When I Get You Alone". Didn't it have a video with him as a bike courier?)

Hard News: Friday Music: Partners in Vacancy, in reply to Russell Brown,
The rapey douchebaggery is sort of tangential to the point, though, Russell. I'm just talking about how I enjoy the sound of the song, not whether or not it's lyrically objectionable. (Of course it is. But so are a lot of things.)

I have no right whatsoever to shut you up. I'm merely expressing a sincere wish that you would. :)

Dude, I'm not trying to make you laugh. I'm trying to shut you up.

Here is what the two points you made boil down to:
1. Mothers SHOULDN’T think about anything but looking after their children;
2. Mothers are not actually CAPABLE of thinking about anything but the fate of children.I could not disagree more thoroughly with your post. In fact, I would like to encourage your post to bite me.

Thicke’s Blurred Lines is a stupid, misogynistic song with an even stupider and more misogynistic video.
This is belated. But I feel like I must, in the interests of honesty and not-just-saying-stuff-on-Twitter-ism, note that I pretty much totally enjoy the song and may call Russell a fogey about it next time I see him. :) "Hey-hey-hey."
