That revelations about Rose were, if not unexpected, the most viscerally scary and painful. Early on, when she was so aggressive in her efforts to show she wasn’t racist (getting in the cops face, ranting about her family’s behavior), it really seemed like she was kind of clueless but at least well meaning.…

Thank you for putting it into words. Self-policing is exactly it. I’m an outspoken person but in certain situations I catch myself...well, catching myself! Being less me, holding back on certain responses, just so I can seem safer for those who are likely already just uncomfortable by my presence and are primed to…

“We’ve all done the same exact forced chuckle, side smirk and “yeah..”. His microexpressions were so perfect.”

lol. Your point about #notallwhitepeople is great. I think in the movie, the Allison Williams character is supposed to represent #notallwhitepeople, but I do think Peele’s point is that, yes, at some point or other it is all white people whether they would have voted for Obama for a third time or not. I think this…

What is the point of this? You say #notallwhitepeople but that is exactly what you’re doing. You preempt because even you know you have nothing of worth to add other than making an innocuous comment about you but you still say it. It’s like you people just can’t help yourselves

One amazing thing about it was it both used and mimicked the horror movie trope of having the phone lines cut or no cell phone service. Sure, they try to cut off phone communication, but even if they didn’t, who is he going to call? He certainly can’t call the police.

That assumes the child is making an actual choice and not being manipulated by one parent. In an ideal world sure. But if the parent or parents are manipulators it’s not really the child’s choice.

why are they even mad, fuck Marchesa

As someone who used to attend these shows for work: it’s super annoying if designers go rogue. It’s bad enough that some designers want to show in ‘exotic’ locations and you’re stuck in traffic or public transport for an hour and a half, losing precious time. Don’t forget it’s work for a lot of people (fashion…

Agreed. He’s always been very vocal about how unwelcome he is in the fashion industry. “Doing clothes you would have thought I’d had help but they weren’t satisfied unless I picked the cotton myself” etc. Why would he seek their approval? He knows he doesn’t have it. Kanye’s gonna Kanye.

I don’t know. My first pregnancy ended in miscarriage (like hers) and I was on pins and needles until that first scan and then kept all my receipts for every baby purchase until about 24 weeks.

That, combined with vomiting to the point of serious dehydration until minutes before my baby was born and having a pelvic…

I want to see this so much. It’s exactly the kind of horror movie that makes stupid over-praised stuff like Insidious and The Conjuring look as flimsy and flash-in-the-pan as they are. Horror at its best has always tapped into the terrors of our culture.

I once joked that, typically the presidency ages a man, but it would be Donnie’s surrogates that will age for him like Dorian Gray. Now I think it will be citizens aging rapidly, I’ll be Republican aged by the time mid-terms come around.

That Taylor Swift’s carefully cultivated Instagram squadron of models, teens, and Lena Dunham would end up at each other’s throats seemed inevitable.

Yeah, plus I read MLK3's summary of the meeting as employing a bit of shade here, like “the guy just said the same thing over and over for 30 minutes and didn’t listen to a word I said.”

But...she wasn’t transgender?

That seems like a big assumption.

Who would want work with a bunch of weirdos who watch a monkey fuck a deer then went yeah the deer wanted it.

Bums me out that Jezebel wrote almost nothing about Insecure while Girls will get a million posts.

Some people like to practice their art.
