I think you touch on the issue here, but don’t really get into it in depth.

Yeah, how dare someone so pretty in the traditional, white, European-centric sense also have self image issues! You sound like the beauty equivalent of nerd gatekeepers - “she couldn’t possibly have suffered the way we suffered because she was popular.” “She’s too attractive to be a hardcore gamer/nerd.” “I suffered…

Celebrity: I have insecurities in an industry that is always picking apart what I say, do, or look like, and so I can connect with and respect how so many others suffer too. It’s alienating.

You’re upset that somebody who was brigaded for 2 years straight for a single comment about representation in film criticism decided to word a statement more carefully in the future?

i interpreted it the same way. she’s not stupid, and she talks about her own insecurity, so it doesn’t make sense that she would deny the existence of appearance expectations placed on women (and choosing to read it that way... is a choice). the wording could be better, but it sounds like she’s just saying that…

The second bitter screed of the day, attacking a white woman who is by every possible measure, the type of ally that Jezebel demands to have.

Denise seems to be walking back her original diss, and now I’m sad. All men need is the inch (or 3) that you give them and the next thing you know its’ Chris Brown or Johnny Depp or far worse. Gold has always been so valuable because it’s malleable - A single ounce of gold can be beaten into a sheet measuring roughly…

Every time Blake Shelton asks another male for permission to marry Gwen Stefani, I like him even less.

Big deal. My top was off while I filled out my mail-in ballot two weeks ago. However, the good news was I didn’t get ketchup on another t-shirt for once.

Sorry, from now on I only want nothing but qualified career civil servants in office. The problem with celebrity politicians is they never want to start at the bottom and work their way up. They want big jobs first and think city council, or state house is beneath them.

Please, 2020, I beg you: let a London Yacht Club kick out Prince Andrew. Give me one small treat this year.

none of whom appeared to be wearing masks (that’s not my life, I’m sure they got tested!)

But pointing at all of the activities and foods associated with fall in America and labeling them “white girl” things in 2020 doesn’t necessarily connote a hatred or disdain for them

I am 100% a white suburban housewife who loves fall and sweaters and pumpkin spice lattes. IDK how this article got into Thanksgiving? Which, while technically in the fall is just a dress rehearsal for Christmas. The secret is, I live in Georgia. In the fall, it is the end of 4+ months of temperatures over 90 and all…

My (meaningless) take on Chris Pratt

Zigi is terrible, but the opposite portmanteau is ok. I hereby submit Baby Giayn (pronounced Jane) until someone tells us the sprogs actual name.

This is truly a young folks Dirt Bag today.

The Information is a humorous novel about competitive novelists by Martin Amis. One of the novelists is told that he used the word “really” (or something similar) x number of times and it is his most used word in the novels he writes and it paralyzes him. It’s a hilarious passage. Years ago, I noticed my own most used…

Re: your love for Chicago Fire...I was in Havana once and was talking to a local guy who, when he learned I was from Chicago, asked if I watched Chicago Fire/Med/PD. I told him I didn’t and that I was surprised that he did given that he lives in Cuba. And then he told me the process by which he watched these shows:…

A person reportedly hopped Logan Paul’s fence on Sunday afternoon, resulting in some rather intense LAPD action outside the YouTube star’s home.
