Every single person needs to go read Caity Weaver’s article on Amtrak sleeper trains in the NYT right now. It is the best thing I’ve maybe ever read (definitely best thing I’ve ever read in the NYT). I laughed, I cried, I cry-laughed and laugh-cried.

i am extremely tired of all hollywood acting like new york is the be all and end all of cities that are cool and interesting to live in, HOWEVER this looks fun and i love lizzo and female friendships and jane the virgin and nonsense and this seems full of all of those things so sure, let’s have a green juice mimosa

I’ve been anxiously awaiting this title for a while now. Can’t wait to pick it up now that it’s out! 

One of the things that complicates Gibson’s arc in this movie, I think, is that, if her later movies are any indication, Meyers does have a genuine affection for old-school, whiskey-and-Sinatra guys who are charmingly assholish. Witness Jack Nicholson in Something’s Gotta Give, or Alec Baldwin in It’s Complicated, or

Caroline, I love this whole series so much, but this may be my absolute favorite.

Yuk yuk yuk. I’m a terrible dad. I make my wife do all the emotional labor of parenthood.

It’s been a really long time since I’ve read/wrote “RIP Milihelen” and I want to take the time to fill that gap: RIP Milihelen.

  • Boyle: “Have you seen all these posters of David Stovelman’s wife, Debbie?”
    Jake (reading): “‘I’m happy, healthy, and alive.’ Oh, Debbie dead.”
    Boyle: “Debbie real dead.”

I dunno, I think having the words she stole permanently tattooed on her is...

Instead of spacing the legendary queens out a bit, they needlessly blew their wad in All-Stars 2. This lineup is the result of that poor decision.

Annual reminder to myself and other Canadians:

White people can leave guns lying around their houses and when one of their toddlers shoots their other toddler the police and DA just say, “Well, this family has suffered enough.”

I just read Angela Carter’s The Bloody Chamber, which is an anthology of fairy tales that some she re-imagined and others are new stories. The title story is obviously a Bluebeard story. Every story is beautifully written and, most, of the main female characters are strong, powerful women. I highly recommend this book.

Ex Machina was the Bluebeard story on film, though no one seemed to notice.

The last time I drank tequila was in 1996. My BFF/roommate and I went to a party at a friend’s apartment. BFF was going to tell a boy she was in love with him, not knowing that he had chosen that occasion to announce his super-gayness. Whoops!

Just last week I learned that Bryan Adams set up a charitable foundation that is supporting environmental conservation in the Caribbean (where I live) as well as other great humanitarian work all over the world. He even takes the time to personally visit the projects that the Foundation funds. Because of this I have

Sorry to see you go, even sorrier you had to go through that horrible thing at your former job. I know what you mean when you say that celebrity gossip feels so... shallow in these times. Yet Dirt Bag was the only thing I read within the last 30 hours that didn’t directly deal with Christine Blasey Ford. Sometimes you

I should also add that Willoughy did get the girl in the end. He and Emma Thompson have been together since S&S. And, if you’ve watched The Crown, you’ve seen him. He plays Mountbatten.
