Wait, is this real-world child support, where the money goes to buy food for the kids, or MRA fantasyland child support where the women just buy Ferraris and cocaine? -Jessica

Yeah, I dunno. I don't know how much he spent on charity, and Kristen brought up the point that just about three years of cancer treatments were probably pretty pricey. Plus Beastie Boys split everything three ways, regardless of who wrote what.

I know they got fleeced on LTI, and Paul's Boutique flopped when it came out. They didn't really sell a huge amount of records, and stopped touring in 2009, so that would be lost revenue. I don't know.

The feeling you get when your brain finally lets your heart get in its pants.

The Synchronized Swiveling is awesome.

It was a lot of fun, but now the video is going away

Why did Darth Vader cross the road? To get to the Dark Side!

Loved the synchronized swiveling, Lee.

I don't know what to say about the Yauch estate. Is it that people think he deserves more?

"already on the kiss-cam with Karl Marx"-

that seems like bank to me too, Allyson.

Well not canonically, no, but this is transformative fiction.

Maybe he bought everything the ever wanted, for himself and his loved ones, plus he has 6 mil to pass on to wherever--what the hell do we know?

There was a piece in Forbes that speculated to some sort of shitty disagreement between he and his wife about who would get guardianship of their daughter if they both died.

But I thought it was pretty neat, and didn't signal anything in particular other than a fair way to deal: If they both passed in an odd numbered year, his parents would have custody with hers as backup. Even numbered year, the reverse would happen.

It just seems that it was equally likely that they are saying, "either of these options are good, we're not playing favorites."

I really should have a will. Who would take care of Ruby?

How many people here also (or only, whichevs) use the word "home" to describe somewhere other than where you sleep most nights, where you pay rent or mortgage, where your bills come, where most of your clothes are, etc?

I'm pretty sure Ruby would be loved and cared for if you died, Allyson. But I still think it's better for everyone if you stay alive for as long as possible.

It is both where I grew up and where I live now, but in my case "home" is overdetermined.

I am a woman of various inclinations and only some of the time are they to burn everything down in frustration

I use "home" pretty cavalierly. Wherever I lay my head sort of thing. But also California in general, and New Orleans under certain circumstances. As well as where I pay my mortgage.
