I think his US counterpart is sentimentalized and overpraised too. FDR was garbage if for no other reason he interned US citizens of Japanese decent.

Because she’s up against someone who’s way underseeded. And honestly, Betsy DeVos should be in the Rich Powerful Assholes bracket instead of the Beckys bracket. She could’ve been swapped with Rob Kardashian who deserves to be in the Becky bracket with his sisters.

Yeah, she’s mostly harmless but it’s a little gross how Jez writers find this woman so charming and wonderful.

The one I recommend enthusiastically is the Rooftop Cinema Club. The one in Hollywood is on the rooftop of the Montalblan Theater. There’s also one downtown and some in NYC and Chicago I think. You buy an actual seat for the screening, good food, and you get headphones. It’s super fun and as close to watching in your…

Good thing Demi is in water, because there isn’t a thirstier pop star out there right now. Although what is the line between thirsty and desperate? She always seems on the edge of it.

And based on his disaster as Batman, I’m guessing he’d like to update that quote with something new.

This is slightly off topic but it seemed the best place to post in case Jezebel doesn’t report on it. The journalist who reported that the Chicago Dyke March banned the Jewish flag from its gay pride march has been removed from her job at the Windy City Times. I’d be curious to know why this happened.

I was shocked how good it was. I had little to no interest in this, because I’ve read the book, seen countless other versions and homages before. But wow, I was completely hooked. Great acting and directing.

In 2020, Democrats need the large pool of participants that Republicans had in 2016. That’s the only way to see who will emerge as a strong candidate over the primary season. A big name frontrunner everyone already knows will be a 2020 loser.

But the football stadium of strategically placed votes makes sense when you factor in that her 3M vote lead came entirely from one state, California. In many states it’s a dead heat between parties. I know it grates on people (on both sides) but those 7-10 swing states hold all the power in elections now.

You’d think they would’ve realized they had a Clinton enthusiasm problem in these states when Sanders won Michigan and trounced her in Wisconsin in the primaries.

If Mariah has any creative control in this, it will be fucking terrible. But probably in a fun, trainwrecky kind of way. Best wishes (condolences) to any writers, producers, and directors involved.

As far as politics and race are concerned, this case is gonna get more complicated. The cop has been identified as a Somalian, Mohamed Noor.

Another interesting point to consider male vs female. Along with Insecure, another incredibly well received, critically acclaimed series was Fleabag on Amazon. Neither Issa Rae or Phoebe Waller-Bridge or their series were nominated and both definitely deserved it. Meanwhile, Atlanta and Master of None both made it in…

Based on the shirtless bathroom picture, PopSugar is mistaken. He’s way more thirsty than I am.

I totally disagree about the pace. This was the liveliest and best paced premiere I can remember in ages. For a show that, in the past, had characters wander around for entire seasons, it finally feels like every storyline has a purpose and dramatic forward movement. Thank god.

I have the exact recurring dream as your dad. I’m in college, usually one of the last semesters I think, and it’s the final exam for a class I thought I had dropped but apparently didn’t. I’ve been out of college for 22 years, so I’d say get used to the dream. I think it’s my way to coping/sorting out stress in…

Funny, I’ve become way more invested with Serena winning these last few years. Monica Seles was my all-time favorite WTA player. Her on-court stabbing is the most outrageous and awful thing to happen to an athlete and changed the course of tennis history. I just don’t believe Graf would’ve gotten to 22 slams without…

Venus probably still wouldn’t be GOAT. She lost 7 GS finals to Serena. Add those to her tally and that puts her at 14, still 4 behind Evert/Navratilova and 8 behind Graf. Her game was never suited for clay so it’s no surprise Venus never won the French. But it’s strange that Venus also never won the Australian. But as…

Even way before injuries and health issues, it became clear Venus didn’t have the incredible all-around game for all surfaces that Serena had. She made one French Open final on clay but almost never made it out of R4 since then. But she’ll always be considered an all-time Wimbledon great. Her doubles accomplishments…
