Nothing Jeff Bezos does intends to benefit anyone but his own company. It is certainly argueable whether whatever benefit he has brought into this world otherwise in any way makes up for the quantity of harm he has brought.

And if we can’t take Trump down without the help of someone like Jeff Bezos then our democracy…

She’ll be fine. Agitating the corrupt, bigoted, ignorant, authoritarian and proto-capitalist isn’t the career suicide a lot of people are trying to script it to be. She’s smart and she’s young....which means she only has the opportunity to get smarter and more capable.

What did she say that was harsh and inexcusable?

If someone could do something about the heavy-handed Christian film trailers that have been running in front of Sony movies all year, would appreciate that as well. 

This was a fantastic article. The single sentence, “which was founded by two 28-year-old women with no prior experience in healthcare” is probably all that was needed, though.

Given what we now know about how foreign governments are fomenting culture wars through online platforms as a way of destabilizing us, I’m finding it harder and harder to look at situations like this as an organic product of coordinated bigotry. I don’t think we should be so quick to jump into obvious lamentations…

Gita, your articles are always a breath of fresh air. Astute, observant and revealing while always striking a refreshingly personal, reflective and appreciative tone. I always feel like, even when you are talking about your own individualized experience of a video game, as someone utterly unlike me in age, race, sex/ge…

They are the film equivalent of your boss giving you a new title instead of a raise.

Due to health issues I’m very limited in the types of places I can grab a takeout lunch from....even most salad bars are too limiting for me to frequent; so when I first discovered Sweetgreen, I was initially ecstatic, because they had just the right combination of options that I could make a meal out of.

I’ve since…

For all the commentators claiming otherwise: the issue is not with how sexist his comments may have been, it is with how irredeemably irresponsible they were given the hideous groundswell of toxicity aimed at the reboot during the entirety of it’s lifespan.

He should have fucking known better and I wanted to reach…

Your article really articulates some of the feelings I’ve been having about the conversations always taking place around Sanders.  I’m glad you wrote this. 

It’s the contempt for Bernie that I never get. It feels out of measure with what’s wrong with him. I feel like we’re playing into the enemy’s hands when we’re so…

I kept trying BR games and just could NOT. Spending all of my time wandering around getting scant opportunities to learn how to use the range of weapons before getting annihilated by kids with time to spare was just not enjoyable for me.

The beauty of this game, though, is that if you play TF at all (which I do a ton),…

I’m sorry to say that the quality of misogyny reflected here is not at all unrealistic. The dialogue may be overwrought (and honestly, I have seen men say much more cartoonishly awful stuff about women, so I don’t even think that it is), but the sentiment and the value systems behind them are very much an inescapable…

25th Hour is the definitive 9/11 movie. Was so grateful for what he did with that film. So underappreciated.

THANK you for this article. I’ve been staunchly preaching for years how Rachel McAdams is the most criminally underappreciated actress in Hollywood and I had so many of the same thoughts as you while watching Game Night. She had no business being as brilliantly funny as she was. She’s nearly flawless in what easily…

Re-reading this article every year has become my new most favorite holiday tradition. Bless you Lindy West.

I just naturally presumed that this was how the inventor of Gritty worked:
