You get a prominent name in black art, specifically hip hop, to co-curate. It’s the fucking Smithsonian. They could have found someone.

Years ago I used to work at a children’s hospital that had a nutrition unit and I was talking to a mother who was born in Mexico before moving here. She said that where she grew up was a very poor neighborhood and they didn’t always have food for 3 meals a day. When they moved here fast food was so cheap, she over…

IF YOU DON’T WANT HIM MORE FOR ME.

“...and a major reality TV celebrity to me, somebody who spent the mid-2010s absolutely obsessed with his schtick”

Y’all, I’m a Junior League member (come at me; after the sorority girls drop out in their first year or two, what’s left are the hardest working professional women), and I couldn’t hang with my kids’ school PTSO. Everyone wanted to be the leader without actually being the leader and were so condescending. It only took…

It’s right up there with Ode to Billie Joe - released the same year; a really good time for country “story songs”.

Seems to me like whether or not he got a statue, he was setting himself up for a big win no matter what. (Yes, she could have said no....but the look on her face tells me that was not an option.)

I went to a wedding last weekend; I was FAR MORE EMOTIONAl than the parents of the bride or the parents of the groom.  I love, love.

I’m such a sucker for weddings and proposals and in general anything to get my mind off the absolute fuckery of our current state of the world. This made me so happy I cried like a little baby. 

Rich, you nailed it last night: if the director of the Oscars doesn’t know how to use a thank you speech to put life into an otherwise dull show, who would? (And really, was there a dry eye in the house? In the country? I don’t think so. )

I love seeing people who find love (possibly again?) later in life. I remember being told that it was basically over for you for love and romance (especially as a woman) after you reach “a certain age”. (By my mother, but let’s not digress into negativity...)

So many people are picking apart what age Soon Yi was when the affair with Allen started. May I present a theory: it doesn’t matter a damn how old Soon Yi was the first time they kissed or had sex. Allen started taking her to ball games at 17. When he began to spend more and more time with her, THAT is when the affair…

Aww the lady got a bruise on her hand. What a fucking tragedy!

I worry a lot about Fan BingBing. I hope she’s okay.

“The Duchess of Sussex continues to be the cool one; Kate could maybe step it up.”

Going to keep commenting on this every time the subject comes back up...the prosecutor has stated publicly found probable cause to prosecute Woody Allen for this crime but only declined to do so because it would involve retraumatizing Dylan.

My mom was a bad parent. Really should not have had children at all. She did her best but she was still pretty bad. I see a lot of her behavior in what Soon-Yi describes here. My mom didn’t teach me how to use tampons. Girls I went to school with did. I bought myself my first bra and still don’t know what my bra size…

Soon-Yi is definitely a victim. Though, I’m sure she’s deeply in denial and has no desire to be viewed that way.

Soon-Yi seriously needs a counselor. My message for Woody is more blunt:

So, I did a two week training class a few weeks ago and I’m still reeling from it. I work in law enforcement (I’m an analyst) and I completed a family and sexual violence investigations course. I had a hotel on the beach and essentially a vacation paid for by work. However, the class made me realize some things about…
