I think Jezebel/Gawker is part of the problem with the whole “I’m looking to be outraged” mentality that it promotes with their clickbait. Chris Hardwick kind of said how people have been turning and being more PC and how it’s BS that people laugh at everything but when it’s touches on them then they are offended. And…

I can’t speak to a cultural trend, but I have noticed in myself in the last five or so years a tendency to analyze entertainment before I enjoy it. It’s become almost involuntary. I’m so used to questioning whether something is hurtful or insensitive that sometimes when I’m watching stand-up or other comedic…

TBH I don’t disagree with Jerry Seinfeld. I don’t think what he’s referencing is “killing” comedy (that’s an overdramatic characterization; if it was, then why do comedy movies draw millions, comedy TV shows draw millions, comedy specials draw millions?), but I think a specific type of collegiate thinking is creating…

I love Melissa McCarthy. She is one of the funniest people in the world, and I say this because her physical comedy is flawless, her wit is sharp, and her timing is impeccable.

I didn’t know I wanted it until just now, but I would watch the shit out of a Melissa McCarthy late night show. She’s quick, genial, and has the improv background to keep things moving.

A rich and well-connected person hardly has to face the same struggles as the 99.9999 percent of the transgendered community. He doesn’t have to worry about keeping his identity a secret to stay employed, paying the medical costs, or even worry about the bills. It may have been a courageous PERSONAL decision, but that…

This is why I like you, Deadspinners. The snarkiest bunch of Internet commenters around, but not when it’s something really important.

This is exactly why I don’t play professional hockey. That and my inability to ice skate.

I mean, fuck yeah. Go get ‘em, Caitlyn.

That kid is so cute it’s not fair. Her blonde hair blue eye combo is like perfection. Not only that, her suit is completely appropriate. That hand on hip pose is pure sassy-pants behavior. I bet she takes dance class or something, because that's a totally normal pose for young kids...cause it's easy. Puh-leeeaze...

It’s the look of a desperate woman silently pleading ‘Please assure me that I am not a psycho bitch who fucked up a couple of football teams worth of kids with the crazy I let you talk me into, all in service of making you feel like you are The Man.’

It’s making me uncomfortable and wondering if I ever look at anyone like that. It looks like he is her sun. It feels like she considers herself second to him.

I think what we’re talking about here is just plain courtesy.

Eh, I think it brings up the concept of where someone’s rights as parents cross over to someone else’s rights. It is a private event, but it also a space we all agree to share (as one does when you choose to fly on a commercial airline). One of the concepts of Burning Man is radical self-reliance. If you bring your…

Dude, I’m all for that, but sometimes what shit just does not work. Children screaming can reach a decibel level higher than a goddamn jackhammer. I’m glad that the author has come up with a sane way to combat child irritability on a plane, but when I hear people saying: “just deal with it” it annoys me because it’s…

This. Absolutely. If the kid is just tired/scared/frustrated and the parent is doing their best to mitigate it, I am sweet as candy. I’ve sent glasses of wine to a few parents who looked about ready to cash it all in and give up.

I would die the minute I saw a single one of their spiders. This is being said by a woman that has been told by her “bug dude” that she has 6 varieties of widow spiders in her yard. And I get bit by one variation at least monthly. I’m immune now. I’m also really pissed that I haven’t become a superhero.

How the meeting should have gone.

I am way more interested in what Bruce may choose to call herself (himself for now) when she (he for now) fully transitions than the royal baby name reveal of weeks past. I hope it's a "K" name! What K names are left? Katherine? Kaitlyn?
