If their food doesn’t make you sick, their politics will. Always right wing.

Honestly think I could make some of these at home.

And yours.

I admire your restraint. I started off thinking I would never stoop to so low as to buy a single bath salt, but by the time I got to the Swarovski crystal nail files my resistance had fallen in a faint. I will have the gin, please.

The most sacreligious thing I have witnessed (read about) is the Givenchy Tribute to 9/11 mentioned in another article on Jezebel. What happened to a moment of silence?

And any painting at all is capable of this. When the light changes, the color changes. Kandinsky was once entranced by his own painting that he saw in the evening.

I have read 6 of these, including Gravity’s Rainbow, which I loved when I read it 25 years ago, but cannot now recall. Cryptonomicon, all Dunes (although Frank Herbert got weirder, and not in a good way.) Anything by Ursula Le Guin should be read. Loved Jonathon Strange. Thanks for the article.

I plan on reading these. I will say that one male who writes women protagonists in science fiction is William Gibson. IMO he does a good job of making them strong, smart and believable.

I can hardly wait for the next one; it comes out in the fall.

Yes. And here is the other thing for me: He is getting the money for these things. So whether it’s ironic, meant to call attention to the appropriation by social media, or whatever, the man is living the good life using other people’s work. By the way, speaking as a poet, I am not against using other people’s work as

Cindy Sherman makes her own photos of her own self. She was doing selfies before they were invented, with lots of expensive cameras. Actual photography is what she was doing, with an actual concept that did not involve stealing. Also, how does this work with Richard Prince? Does he now have the copyright (?) to these

In my house, we call those people “16 year olds.”

I don’t understand why GoFundMe can’t just take the position that they don’t allow any fund raising that goes for people who discriminate against other human beings based on gender, ethnic background, sexual preference, age. They can just say that’s their policy. Why wait until someone has been proven to have a

So many good ones. But spelling Whitney without the h. That, to me, is true comedy.

My grandfather was an illegal immigrant. So, so many Americans’ ancestors were. I know illegal immigrants. I would be one myself if it meant I could provide for my children or to escape a situation where we were in danger. These women are trying to go through the legal process and are trying to draw attention to their

What??? Is he crazy?? Doesn't he know that this will force businesses to close and push men out of the workplace?? Then those women will have no place to get minimum wage jobs at all!

I like that Azealia Banks did that. I regularly say that to Fox News, but I don't actually publish it. Also I really like, "shopping and holding manicured hands." That's just rich and famous to a T.

Yes, she has always been out of touch. That is what is so magnificent about her. She is a social critic, a curmudgeoness, if you will. One of my all time favorite sayings of hers, and I use it on a regular basis, is that you have as much chance of winning the lottery whether you buy a ticket or not.

I am trying not to feel like I would rather pay money to slap them silly.

Wait. The Austen short story? As in Jane?
