My aunt understood one of the most obvious things about this country that my parents either didn’t get, chose to ignore, or were too overwhelmed to do anything about: unless you were very rich and white, projecting your status as a member of the middle classes through conspicuous consumption was a necessary…

Tamblyn’s dancing was outstanding, and in seeing the ‘letterbox’ anniversary film a few years ago, I was really struck by his acting ability. I think many of his fantastic reaction shots (to Bernardo sassing Krupke, to Tony’s lovesickness, to the lesser Jets’ bloodthirst) were cut out of the frame on the edited-for-TV…

It’s probably because he can sing as well as act, and for some reason Hollywood is averse to just lip-syncing the music parts of musicals these days (even though they should just do it and give the singers proper credit). 

Not if your faves include “Triumph of the Will” and “Birth of a Nation" I guess.

I mean, I don’t think she was including guys who genuinely weren’t sure. But you could easily say “I’m a big movie buff so it’s hard to say, but off the top of my head I really like...” or “some recent movies I like...”

WalMart Wolverine really needs to carry a plant to make up for all the oxygen he’s wasting

I don’t know about you, sunshine, but I’ve got about 734% better chance of hooking up than he does.

Gathering so many new ways to weed out assholes not worthy of my time.

Well, if this guy can’t hook up, what chance do any of us have?

That caught my attention as well. The inability of 90% of the American population to process the point of a question and then adequately respond is stunning. I work as a paralegal and 9 times out of 10, when I ask for, say, a W-2 form, I’ll get anything but a W-2 form, or if I ask “what dates/times are you unavailable…

It’s easy to gloss over, but “that wasn’t my question” catches my eye. There’s a tiktok by a girl who studied guys on Bumble, and found that 100% of the guys that didn’t answer or changed the subject when she asked “what’s your three favourite movies” ended up being assholes, including guys who sent her unwanted…

And then there’s Maude!

And eat cheesecake.

Let us don caftans and drink wine.

God, yes. I was too old for this trend the first time around.

Millennials are Gen Y, Gen Z are the next generation after, sometimes referred to as “Zoomers”.

I distinctly remember making fun of those “kids” in the early 2000's and feeing smug that I was past caring so much about trends. 

You feel old. I actually have pictures of me standing next to my cousin wearing the hottest fashion of 1977: Bell bottoms so big they could be used to shelter a homeless family of four with a waist high enough to cover her navel. She’s about 6 years older than me... but still.  (She was actively trying to look like…

Wouldn’t it be fucking great if we kept the administering of goddamn fucking traffic out of the hands of the goddamn fucking police? Why do we need a armed to the teeth police officer ticketing people for stupid fucking air freshners??? 

It’s a goof!
