And yet they didn’t blur the vulva in the painting.

Is it wrong that my first thought was “10/10 would vote” based on that top picture alone? Then I watched him play guitar...SOMEONE TAKE AWAY MY VOTER REGISTRATION CARD PLZ

I don’t like the s-word in general either — I always feel self-conscious when I say it. But it bothers me less on its own than it does followed by “on.”

The real tragedy is the wreckage of Johnny Depp, full stop.

Am I the only one who’s really bothered by the current trend toward saying someone who treated someone/something else badly “shit on” them? I always get this deeply unfortunate mental image of what the metaphor literally implies, and it is not something I need in my life.

They’re all beautiful but the true MVP is the turd one. A real, live human being sat down and wrote that, and most likely tweaked that sentence a few times, and then it went through at least a handful of other editors/agents/literary types, only to emerge on the other side exactly thus.
