I cashed in my miles once to fly first class on Singapore Airlines and it was insane, everytime I went to the bathroom (which happened a few times, because fuck if I wasn’t going to drink as much Dom Perignon and Krug as I could get my grubby little hands on and, I mean, it was a 13 hour flight) there was a flight…

That’s why in a weird way I think making it a jukebox musical is so brilliant. I usually HATE jukebox musicals, but the soundtrack to Clueless is such a crucial part of the film and it makes so much more sense to simply use that instead of shoehorning in bland poppy Broadwayish music that no one cares about.

Really though does anyone think that Jezebel or Gawker Media in general “pinkwashes” Israel? I mean earlier this week Jezebel posted one woman’s account of her problematic Birthright trip. I feel like its possible to simultaneously recognize a country for being progressive on LGBT rights while also recognizing their…

I would like that to be the case, but at least some level of willingness on the part of the patient is required to treat almost all mental illnesses and racists like this guy would never seek such treatment out given that they don’t think there’s anything wrong with their beliefs. Also, could you imagine the field day…

Exactly. What most psychiatrists would define as “mental illness” typically has a physiological component like a chemical imbalance to it. That doesn’t mean people can’t have mental issues or even be crazy without a chemical imbalance (many people have mental issues as the result of trauma) or even that people might…

First of all, Rachel Dolezal is not a “trend.” Name one other white person who has actually claimed to be black. Of course white people have been appropriating black culture for years, but they have never claimed to actually be black. Dolezal

OMG THE FEDORA

Shouldn’t the title of this study be 1 in 5 college men are falsely accused of sexual assault by feminazis who just want to ruin men’s lives for funzies?

To an extent, stay at home parents benefit from the tax code in ways that families with two working parents do not.

Potentially innocent of raping Emma, he was found guilty of assaulting another woman at Columbia (and only prevailed on appeal due to a technicality). I don’t think that he’s a violent sexual deviant that should be cut off from society, but he clearly has boundary issues with women and is really bad at grasping what…

She’s giving consent for you to watch the video, but part of it is deciding for yourself where her consent stops in the film itself but also in the piece.

I think at the very least, the comment section is an essential part of it. Part of why I think its pretty great. Yeah, its a little young artist trying to make a statement 101, but its also more sly and multifaceted and composed than most similar projects.

It’s a terrifying world when Brody Jenner seems like a comparative voice of reason.

You realize that’s her intention right?

Right, but I don’t think the purpose is shock value. Also, the whole “you are complicit in this” was an essential component of Mattress Performance and now she is taking it to the next level by trolling her worst critics into revealing the cretinous monsters that they are. All art is derivative, but if you have read…

And that’s why its fucking genius. Rape apologists are so hostile to women who accuse men of rape because they live in terror of this mythical she-beast who will ruin their lives because the sex was bad. What these idiots fail to get is that consenting to have sex to someone does not mean consenting to everything on…

She is fucking brilliant. Now she’s basically declared open war on MRA trolls and given them a venue to demonstrate how disgusting and awful they are.

She didn’t write the anonymous article. It was another girl who was assaulted (I don’t use allegedly in this case, because he actually was found guilty of assaulting that girl and only got off on appeal due to a technicality) by the same person Sulkowicz accused.

Personally I think FA’s typically aren’t supposed to give out full cans of the free soda (as opposed to the beer you have to pay for) and in this case the FA was just trying to blow her off with “safety reasons,” the classic post-9/11 “I don’t want to deal with you response” FA’s use to shut passengers up.

Same, I just finished A Little Life, by Hanya Yanagihara, and it almost immediately entered the pantheon of greatest books I have ever read, but it has the same problem. I would make the argument that the way Yanagihara approaches the emotional lives and relationships between men as almost alien and the way that the…
