It is with some trepidation I disagree with bell hooks about a pop culture artifact. But MY sense, watching “She’s Gotta Have It” when it first came out, was that it explicitly addressed men’s hypocrisy about women’s sexuality, along with women’s difficulty breaking free from men’s patriarchal expectations.

Hope so.

Oh dear god yes this made my heart explode with a thousand rainbows. But now you have to make a gif of Betty wrapping her arms around him on the motorcycle.

FUUUUUUUUUUUUUCK Donna Karan.

...the client still has the right to the defense 

Yeah, I’m not conflicted at all. Maximus is clearly the good guy.

Over the past five years I have gone from “Most cops are trying hard to do a good job” to “Well, it seems there may be some issues with the criminal justice system” to “Why the fuck do we have cops anyway? What do they actually do for me that can only be done by a cop?”

I sensed a disturbance in the Force even as I posted this. My bad for not stopping to think.

That’s too bad. Donatello’s “Birth of Venus” at the Uffizi is enormous and spectacular, though, so check it out if you get a chance.

Oh, I understand the point people think they are making. I just don’t get why people would want to make this point in this particular way. If you want to party against patriarchy — and who doesn’t? — why bring all these patriarchal symbols to your party?

Why not just spend the money on a couture dress and a lavish birthday party? I, for one, would rather have the couture dress hanging in my closet than pictures of myself leading myself to the altar.

I don’t get it. I have a hard enough time GAS about professional celebrities without taking their hypothetical spawn into account.

Isn’t this literally a website about sports? Shouldn’t it be paying attention to what the President says about athletes?

Getting a thank you note is a treat, not a receipt.

Yep. This is what happens when you “reassign” most of your copy desk.

People who live in New York and have unlimited access to New York cheesecake may underestimate the level of fury that would be COMPLETELY JUSTIFIED by some choad stealing your only piece of same.

That family member sounds like a real peach.

Option the Fourth for dealing with Sisterzilla: Hire a babysitter. Eat the cost cheerfully; it’s not going to be more than you’re paying the restaurant.

I am really depressed by how many ESPN employees think repeatedly making bigoted public statements about marginalized groups is morally equivalent to pointing out that someone prominent has objectively employed and encouraged white supremacists.

Also, they swapped “femme” and “donna” and changed the fonts. Clearly 100 percent original thought there.
