I LOVE it. It's so, SO much better than Dracula! Really wonderfully written, I press it on everyone I can.

DUDE I am totally there nerding with you. I just applied to volunteer at my local library partly because their selection of authors is really male-dominated and I want to push them to improve that shit.

I appreciate that this gets the clicks and all, but could we talk about some awesome women for a second? Like how the Guardian's staff just chose a brilliant female editor, and they're already leading the way with a host of brilliant women writing for both them and the Observer? Or how about the YA Book Prize being a…

as a native speaker of the tongue of molière (our shakespeare), and a translator into said tongue, i saw what you were doing there and i approve, but i do love all the variants. tout sweet is pretty sweet too.

Jokes always depend on context and delivery. A friend of mine is a journalist who gets to interview some pretty funny and wonderful people, and I've read through some of the transcriptions she's made from recorded interviews of people like Steve Martin, Jessica Williams and Tina Fey. Let me tell you, on the page,…

I find it so unsettling to think that in 15 years' time, all the makeup that we think is gorgeous and sophisticated and classic will look hilarious. Then I try to console myself that in 50 years, everyone will think we look fabulous again. But it's small comfort though, it really is. Those derisive sniggers from 2030…

Can't take all the credit:

On the upside, you were able to rid yourself of several cancerous growths that year. Good riddance.

all of this slamming on madonna lately seems to be a bit ageist perhaps? i am no fan of madonna - i was into the hairbands of the 80's when madonna was blowing up the world, i hated her. but, she has always been brash, outrageous, shocking, etc... yet now that she 56, everyone seems to think its gross, or "thirsty"…

You know how Prince just glides into a room, says like 10 words, glides back out and then everyone loves him? Madonna should try more of that. Fewer words, Madge. Fewer words.

1. Are you married already?

I'm still so sad about Nimoy's passing. He was such a big part of my childhood, and he was a kind, generous man. I usually don't get upset about celebrity deaths but I guess this one hit me where it hurts.

You have to be in a certain age range to fully understand what Madonna has meant and how she totally changed the game. She was utterly shocking, like clutch your pearls shocking. Things that the younger generations find usual are because of her. Sex, gay rights, etc weren't really a topic until she spoke up. Here is a…

But that's not what Madonna looks like now. She perceives herself as perpetually 30. That you are not, and, in fact that you are almost 55, would be a great thing to champion, Madonna. Aging as a female in this culture and what value women have when they are not in their peak breeding years would be way more valuable…

what kind of magic spell has Jared Leto cast to make people think he's attractive?! The eyes. So close together. He looks like a puppet.

That's the thing about this feud. Everyone seems to start off with solid points. And then they take these hard left turns about multiple showers, stripping, and questionable paternity claims, and before you know it, everyone's losing.

"Kanye also insists in the interview that Kim and Beyonce get along. "They love each other. They respect each other. [...] When Beyonce is working on her album she has pictures of Kim on the wall because Kim represents powerful women."

I think her point was maybe that he wouldn't have said this to her in private, it was a 'hilarious' anecdote directed ostensibly at her but for the 'enjoyment' of the 3,000 strong audience.
