Huh? Why?

It is. That doesn't mean a new Solange album shouldn't be reported on. Why would it?

I agree with you in two senses: (1) the cultural pressure to have a huge, fancy wedding is pretty stupid and negatively impacts people’s lives, and (2) it can be obscene to just do as one wishes with one’s disposable income, given what that money could do spent elsewhere.

In the author's defense, she didn't editorialize (though of course she knew what would happen in the comments). I think — though I admit that this is just a guess — that most people being judgy about these women's looks think they're punching up, not down. They think, these women at Coachella are so much…

Yes, but as an adult, the author thought that she possessed the standing to tell her father that his actions were not his fault and that he should forgive himself. In what world does she — an abuser of the same people that he abused — have that kind of standing? Unless it was EXPLICITLY granted her by her mother and…

I daresay you're preaching to the converted. But of course you're completely right that fearing that one will catch the disease at a Minnesota restaurant is idiotic.

Yeah, you think? It could also be leading to not just food crises but the actual destabilization of nations. But hey, at least you invoked white guilt with your "Hey, Americans" paragraph... it was a nice counterpoint to the mockery of white Americans for panicking too much over their own skins. Each camp has its own…

Lindy, your face in your avatar is very similar to salad lady's. Tell me that was deliberate.

It took her getting pregnant to get a rest from the kitchen? Is she still barefoot or are you letting her wear shoes these days?

There's no end to the effectiveness of we are all sinners. I'm sure he repented.

This is good news. But I'd be surprised if people who can be *killed* by gluten didn't already have a sense that "gluten free" at their local cupcake shop may not be the real thing.

My biggest gripe with Jezebel is that I almost invariably feel patronized, like the authors are talking down to their readers in the age-old style of the women's magazine. When I read Gawker, it feels like an adult author is writing for adult readers. When I read Jezebel, it feels like an adult woman is explaining…

Just eat lentils. Jesus Christ, we figured this out over on Jezebel years ago.

I need a trigger warning on maggots. Rape, war, and hellfire I can deal with. But not maggots.

Four in *18 months* in the state; 4 this month nationally. I don't know what the normal figures are so I can't comment on whether this is usual. But I have a hard time drawing a picture that connects the murders to the Pride celebrations without significantly more information.

?

Are you really surprised that Hawke is calling Teena "gay"? If so you *are* optimistic. While the recognition of gay rights has flourished, I don't think the very simple trans =/ gay point has much traction at all.

See, that I wouldn't know. That's a whole new debate! I was using "cheese" as they use it, so meaning that liquid orange stuff.

Sigh. That's the whole point. According to the article, the burrito has: "rice, chipotle sauce, and sour cream (along with your choice of meat)." NO CHEESE. The cheese comes from the quesadilla. The burrito gets its normal cheese subtracted, and then re-added in the form of a "quesadilla," for the sake of an idiotic…

So basically, they took the cheese out of the burrito, then put it back in (along with another shitty little tortilla) by "wrapping the burrito in a quesadilla"? OK. Sounds fine to me.
