When my dad died five years ago the shock and grief were so intense and unexpected that I couldn’t hold my shit together even if I wanted to. It took me almost a full year to say out loud that he had died because even saying that one sentence made me weep uncontrollably. I wept in drive thrus, in stores, on the phone…

I’m sorry for your loss. My MIL died suddenly and the week after is still such a blur in my mind. We had her service and burial the day before Thanksgiving that year. Really that whole year after, especially the holiday season, is now quite far away, but fresh in my mind at the same time. Any time I learn of a sudden…

I’m so sorry for your loss, and for what you went through in the aftermath of losing your mom. Thank you for sharing your experiences. Whether or not anyone cares about the “legacy” of Kobe Bryant, I hope we can all feel sympathy for Vanessa, as losing her husband and first born child is a pain none of us should have…

Your last sentence reminds me of a great comment I read on Jez years ago, regarding Princess Diana’s death:

Yes exactly. He was constantly asked if they were going to try for a boy, so he constantly had to fight back by proclaiming he was proud to only have girls. Men are supposed to want boys, strong sons to pass down the family name and genes! And to me, proclaiming pride over being a father of daughters and not being…

Unless more accusers emerge, it will likely remain a dark mark on his permanent record, but not something that chips away at his iconic image.

Some STRONG hate in these comments. Good lord, y’all.

I watched her Instagram tour and the pure happiness and joy that she and Offset had while walking around that house is infectious and adorable. While I’m sure to all of the high end art collectors here the house is tacky, these are two kids (neither is even 30) who…

Tracy Morgan’s truck joke was pretty funny, if a little morbid.

Ayanna Pressley’s outfit says “fuck a funeral.”

White (or fine, ecru) furniture seems to exist just so the extremely rich can show off how untroubled their lives are. It’s the home decor zenith of conspicuous consumption.

To me, she was the weakest link in Crazy Rich Asians. Everyone else carried her in that movie. Gemma Chan is amazing and I see her getting farther than Constance. 

The comparison to Caruso-or Shelly Long or Katherine Heigel-is apt because they left their career-launching shows with zero grace, making a public declaration of how over the show they were. It leaves a bad taste in peoples’ mouths.

Now we’ll see it Constance Wu is the next Shelly Long or David Caruso. Being a regular on a television series is hardly the pits or the bottom of the barrel anymore. It’s super hard to have a successful movie career these days unless you’re wearing a cape or a pair of tights. She may regret those tweets sooner than…

Friday nights are where networks put shows to die. Guess where ABC put the FOTB for season 6?

My family watches Fresh Off the Boat. It seems like they’ve been “softening” Wu’s character, and she’s pursing a new degree in the show. So I had previously wondered if they were going to find a way to write her out of it (goes off to get a PhD abroad or something) and keep the show going. I know not all shows have to…

I wish things would go back to how they were when I spent my evenings (I live in europe) going back and forth between splinter, jezebel and gizmodo, hoping for new content and notifications that someone replied to my post. Instead of how it is now, surprise and mild disbelief that jezebel is still up and most comments…

...shes one of the most tone deaf artists out there. Just jumps on any and every cultural trend/thing she can hijack. Why is she saying this dumb archaic shit like every lesbian is just a scorned woman

Just some background for you, as he explains in the special, he didn’t know her before she came to his show. After the show he went up to the bar and Daphne approached him and he thought she was going to seriously let him have it for his material. But she actually said she thought it was hysterical, and she thanked…

“Chappelle claimed that Dorman was “laughing the hardest” at the jokes. But not everyone was laughing. Some claimed the comedy was transphobic.”

The headline could be better. My first thought after reading it was that this transgender person was made fun of in Chappelle’s special and later killed themselves- not that her and Chappelle were friends...
