I get what she’s saying, but she also made her dating life a big part of her songwriting for years. (Has Tom Hiddleston’s profile recovered from that embarrassing period?) Hard to put that genie back in the bottle, although I can understand where she’s coming from—she’s older now and I can’t blame her for wanting to…

Proving the CPAC crowd is literally tone deaf.

I was surprised when I moved here because MA sure does love to present itself as blue, but I refer to it the Reddest Little Blue State because a lot of the Democrats out here are nativist DINOs. We also have one of the least transparent legislatures in the country. And yeah, the racism is as prevalent as the cider…

yeah, at least she’s lived  a life outside the royal bubble. I’m curious about whether Harry’s having a hard time adjusting. (didn’t atch the clip bc I dislike both video and James Cordon)

Since we’re talking about Aerosmith videos in this context, can we stop to reflect that Steven Tyler’s own 17-year-old, high school-attending daughter was cast as a sexpot opposite Alicia Silverstone in “Crazy”, one of the male-gaziest music videos I can think of? According to this Rolling Stone article, the video…

The Amazon documentary (which I will never stop recommending despite being on Amazon) was both horrifying for realizing just how poorly the story was reported (I was a tween when it hit the news), but also a tiny bit gratifying because WOW, the filmmakers sure gave him enough rope to hang himself and she seems to…

That pop culture continues to buy Humbert’s characterization of Dolores at face value is both an indictment of our collective ability to critically engage with literature as well as the actual acceptability and commercial appeal of sexualizing girls.

And I find it hard to believe that Nabokov, a polyglot, didn’t pick that name without reason.

I think it’s not that he felt his life was lacking, but rather he felt he himself was. Clinical depression is very much turning bad feelings onto one’s self instead of outward on the world. Deep down, you feel like you don’t deserve happiness or good things.

Fucking reprehensible, but hard to imagine that even if they find the person responsible, they’ll take any sort of substantive measures against them. Every officer who forwarded it to anyone other than to report it ought to get fired and lose their pension.

Ooh, this is a fun thought experiment. Trump? Have him surrounded by people who ignore him and/or laugh at him. Her? Stick her in a shoddy studio apartment with crappy furniture, some kind of mindless, low-wage job, and no access to anything elite/luxurious while surrounded only by incredulous people.

I only get a candy bar once or twice a year, and I’ve stopped buying American for this very reason.

IIt’s been ages and I’m not even into Doctor Who anymore, but part of me is still mad about what they did with her character.

I mean, if you’re going to release an apology years late, it needs to be good, and in this one, he once again ducks as much blame as possible and instead focuses on structural sexism. He doesn’t differentiate between the different types of harm he caused Jackson and Spears. It comes off as yet another self-serving act…

Are they really so different, though? Their projects have been very different, but they both are very good wordsmiths, know how to land a wink-and-nod that is fun instead of obnoxious, and do subtle absurdity really well.

I mean, they’re both great writers and actors, and quirky in their own ways, so I find this project really intriguing.

This here. I’d love to support this movie, but I’m single and I’m not paying $20 to stream anything, let alone a non-blockbuster film. I’d pay $10 for something I really want to see, particularly in the Age of Covid, but $20 is a few months of a premium streaming channel add-on with a ton more content.

You’re probably right that it was his mother, but I have a maybe irrational dislike of Leo (I’ve find him creepy AF for the past 10 years or so), so I choose to believe that when he isn’t working on growing his next young blonde girlfriend clone in his basement lab, he gazes upon posters of himself in his early 20's…

It’s like the White leadership at so many of these organizations, companies, and institutions are like, “What, we have to stop being so bigoted? Fine. We’ll try, but so badly that you’ll stop asking about it.”

That episode scarred me for life, although I was more disturbed by her friends’ monster heads on the cave wall.
