Someone Finally Apologizes for Performing at the Riyadh Comedy Festival

Happy Taylor Swift Weekend Sunday! Dustin said I can’t make all the links about Taylor Swift, which is going to be difficult because I’ve pretty much only been reading articles and watching videos that are related to Taylor Swift, so you can see the problem, right? Also, I KNOW you’re going to tell me you don’t like her and her music sucks and billionaires are bad and all the other things that I already know; I don’t care. Go tell someone who cares. Everything in the world feels awful right now (including things in my life and the lives of my family and friends), and this stupid orange and mint fluff of sequins and feathers has given me a weekend of diversion and song — I love it!

So, it wasn’t ALL TS this weekend: Stevie Nicks wished ex-partner Lindsey Buckingham a happy birthday!
