I thought some of the grievances about Mary Sues - or Daeneryses, as I like to call them - were coming from a feminist point of view. Like, male heroes are allowed to be flawed and complicated and interesting and people still root for them. Female heroes have to be perfect blank slates who inexplicably save the day.

I’m at Lake Tahoe at a resort. Ideal.

I always thought Friends was meh, but I love Seinfeld, and you can’t get a shittier group of people than those, so...

I need you to know that when you do a Google Image search of “freedom and stuff” this is the first result:

Auschwitz: 9 inappropriate TripAdvisor reviews from disappointed visitors

“Freshmen” by the Verve Pipe, along with “Bittersweet Symphony” were in heavy rotation for my late 90s sob fests.

I just want her to get those ballet shoes off the sidewalk. You don’t wear dance shoes outside, no no no!!!!

It really bothers me how much the issue of manspreading is taking away from other critical feminist issues like how much I should judge other women for shaving their pubes.

No, it’s real.

I probably won’t read those memoirs but I’d definitely read one of those “Top Ten Craziest Things We Learned From Suri Cruise’s Memoir” lists.

Great article Jia! I wonder if there’s also a difference between conservatives and progressives on the issue of consequences after an infraction. It seems to me that in the conservative worldview a violation (especially by a fellow conservative) is all forgiven if one apologizes to God (not necessarily the victim)…

And Michael Jackson’s kids

Come sit next to me, Loose_Seal, we can speculate all about Blue Ivy, Suri Cruise, and Shiloh Jolie’s memoirs. I have literally been waiting for Suri’s since the day she was born. CAN YOU EVEN IMAGINE I CAN I CAN IMAGINE. And I do!

I just...who has this much time on their hands? I mean, between work and chores & errands I am lucky if I can find five hours a day to nap and watch Netflix. I can't imagine investing this much time in a ruse. Dance Academy isn't gonna watch itself!

this was a random text I received and did a TERRIBLE job of being funny back. This was a gift horse and I looked it right in the mouth.

I am saddened by this list because Okra is one of my favorite vegetables. And fried okra is so addicting it’s dangerous. Never had tempura okra but considering what deliciousness Japan has concocted with okra I would never doubt their superior handling of it in tempura form.

I’ve never seen tempura okra!!! Is this a Japanese/American thing or did I go to the wrong places in Japan?! Also, no matter how many times you say “vegetarian”, they still give you the god damn prawn! FUCK OFF PRAWN!

I love Scott Thompson! I probably would have annoyed the fuck out of him with my Buddy Cole impression, so better you than me.

Let me take a moment to pimp Full House Reviewed, which exhaustively reviews each and every episode of this shitty, shitty show. It’s hilarious, although it’s a giant time suck.
