I want to like this essay, but I don't. In fact, I hate it.

Hoffman's death is about addicts, recovering and using alike. It's about addiction, the precariousness of sobriety, the idea that one day that relapse may actually kill you. I know it's still a huge topic at AA/NA meetings, and I hope it continues to be because it's a reminder that sobriety is an everyday, all the…

Every story about addiction is "about" the recovering or active addict reading it.

You're criticizing/calling out these writers for publishing work within the context of PSH's death which in itself is clicked on and riding the news story of PSH's death. I don't understand why you're allowed to refer to PSH, but they aren't.

Ermmm...there are videos from all over Western Europe and the US that show people being beaten/harrassed and no one stepping in to help. I walked out of a store in a major US city once and saw a woman and her son being beaten by the woman's partner. In a major European city I watched on the news as people spat at a…

Exactly. It was an amazing achievement. They have every right to be proud... to say the very least. If I was Russian I'd be incredibly proud.

It's your idea to teach poor kids responsibility by expecting them to bring money they don't have for lunch every day?

Kenny deserves all the props for what he did. But kids shouldn't have to depend on random generosity. The safety net is being ripped apart, and that's wrong.

Thank you. This isn't the fault of the Russian people.

I don't see any rose-colored glasses on Gargarin. He was the first human in space and the program that put him up there should be celebrated.

Yes, I was also shocked to learn that mammals have hair. Shocked.

Even people I know who believe that Woody Allen is innocent don't think that Dylan is lying— but that she was essentially coached and brainwashed into believing something happened that didn't. Barbara Walters is the first person I've actually seen suggest that Dylan is straight up lying because she's angry and has…

How can you hold Kristen and Dax responsible for the actions of other celebrity parents? Especially when these two are the ones indisputably trying to make the lives of children safer and more normal.

But Shakira isn't, so it's still a faux-lesbian "performance."

Dear Men Everywhere,

Wait. That's a music video? I thought it was a commercial for Crazy Carlos' Chunky Bracelet Warehouse.

You know what I find so weird about every discussion about this shit? Almost every article that mentions Soon Yi refers to her as "Mia Farrow's adopted daughter". Why do they do this? If you adopt, that child is your child. Why is it never "Mia Farrow's daughter"? I feel like throwing in the "adopted" label serves as…

I think his relationship with Soon-Yi Previn could be argued as relevant. Another adopted child from the household, much younger than him.... come on.

No, but not every detail has to be reported. It isn't really relevant to his death.
