Please tell me that Nora Ephron's reply was "I won't have what that kid's having."

Great list! Susan Harris (of “Soap” and “Golden Girls” fame) also created some of the best fictional women and friendships between them. Even though they were technically sisters, the friendship between Jessica Tate and Mary Campbell was right up there with Daria and Jane IMO.

Is there any way you could obtain and publish a list of all the companies supporting this episode with ad revenue, for the benefit of those of us who won't be watching but might factor this information into personal shopping decisions?

In typical Republican fashion they’ll totally overlook the time that their guy did the same thing except much worse:

You left out John and Christine McVie-Jay

All your points are well taken. When it comes to Clinton, her inconsistent record on just about everything I care about (except reproductive healthcare access, which has made me a single-issue voter in the past) makes me want to see her field some hypothetical questions and promise not to do certain things she’s…

Outstanding article (both Tolentino and Solnit). Especially in its discussion of expectations that people project onto women’s bodies and how patriarchy “boxes” people into specific roles defined along gender lines, it reminded me of a conversation between bell hooks, Janet Mock, Shola Lynch and Marci Blackman last…

In all seriousness, this PM could be a powerful ally for a Democrat president, especially with Paul Ryan running things in the House. Trudeau’s support for the Democrats on international deals where we’re partnered with Canada will be important (e.g. get some environmental and worker protections in our trade deals),…

Right, but the internet hasn’t been a ubiquitous presence for very long. Even in 2009, a lot of people relied on traditional media more than web media but things changed rapidly. For the most part, Clinton is on the vanguard of running a 21st century campaign, using social media in a way that candidates wouldn’t have…

Given his demonstrated ability to think critically about nuanced sociopolitical issues, he’s probably referring to Taco Bell.

Promise to veto any bill that militarizes the police and enables the prison-industrial complex any further. Promise not to appoint Supreme Court Justices who don’t have an understanding of how several facially race-neutral criminal justice policies effectively jeopardize black people’s equal protection rights. (As an…

It’s the 21st century, though. Put the meat and potatoes of your whole platform on the campaign's webpage, ideally on the day your candidacy is announced. This is how voters learn about candidates’ positions nowadays. There’s not enough time in a day to wait patiently for something of substance to emerge from…

The headline implies that evangelicals had minds to lose in the first place

New Haven has more black people than non-Hispanic white people. (35% to 31% per the ‘10 Census). Yale is overwhelmingly white with some Asian influences. So her argument is basically, “Everyone knows that black people don’t fit in at Yale, so why blame these bros for reinforcing that standard?”

I’d also like to add: get rid of Right to Work and trade deals like NAFTA and TPP that pretty much force employers to turn salaried and benefited jobs in the USA (with its insufficient but at least existing environmental/labor laws) into sweatshop positions in developing countries.*

...and he seems to have a soft spot for Bernie Sanders: a man so Jewish that Larry David had to play him on SNL.

Thank you for making this point. Cooper didn’t even ask - he straight up told Clinton that she was an out of touch 1%er with no ability to understand the middle class’ plight, and he called Bernie a right wing attack ad come to life. Hardly playing softball. The point of his inquiry was to give the candidates an…

She shouldn’t get the nomination, and I’m becoming terrified her nomination will cause a GOP takeover of all government branches. Sanders is more electable and I can count on him vetoing Ryan’s agenda instead of compromising with/yielding to the right on important issues. Even people who don’t like his politics think…

On the other hand, "Hey! Let's take something that's already been done... except this time, let's make it whiter! Like, get Sandra Bullock instead of Queen Latifah" isn't exactly a novel move.

Since the consensus that remakes pale in comparison to originals isn’t going anywhere soon, does anyone else think the all-women remake frenzy of the late ‘10s won’t do much more than (falsely) reinforce what seems to be an industry-wide belief that women can’t do things as well as men? I mean, why not launch “Set It…
