I was gonna say; both Fleabag and the Broad City women are an absolute delight. I wouldn’t consider them ‘unlikeable.’

I’m happy that Charlie Jane’s novel career is taking off, but her reviews were always my favorite part of io9.

“Every generation deserves its own Florence + the Machine”

I've always said that I thought it would be great to be 'Tom Waits'-level rich and famous. you have a consistent level of success, and you're not likely to get mobbed at the grocery store, but the niche people who specifically dig your work will recognize and appreciate you.

Mylar balloons can last a really long time. I was given a mylar balloon that lasted a little over five months before it stopped floating.

Lacy Chabert works a LOT. She's in every Hallmark Christmas movie that Candace Cameron turns down. It's not high-profile work, but it's steady and lucrative. 

I have *never* understood the vitriol Jolie gets.

I really love ‘The Sensual World’ but ‘Suspended In Gaffa’ is my favorite Kate Bush song ever and I’m really happy to see it get mentioned here. ‘The Dreaming’ was the distilled version of all the art-witch energy that I loved about Kate Bush.

His house looks like a douchey San Francisco tech startup office, including the Slurpee dispenser and the mini basketball game.

Also, it’s not even edgy or provocative. Imagine being the dude who made ‘the Hangover’ and ‘Old School’ and thinking that your comedies were just, like, too edgy and in-your-face for modern society, maaaaaan.

It’s not just you; I thought the same thing!

“If this had happened next year, and he was elected after world-antagonizing-Trump, I would sort of understand the Nobel committee and world giving a collective “jfc thank god that’s over,” but at the time?”

I do know a couple of folks who were die-hard fans of Punky Brewster as children, but they are also vehemently against the reboot, so I don’t know who this is for.

IRONIC FACIAL HAIR AND BACON-THEMED EVERYTHING! SRIRACHA!

I dunno; I think in fifteen years we can see things like mason jars, reclaimed wood, lumberjack fashion and chunky glasses and think of 2011 - 2015.

“When I was nine years old, I assumed that Pink was a very light-skinned black woman.”

I’ve always had ambivalent feelings about vaping, because it did work as a harm-reduction model for me and a lot of heavy smokers I know to quit smoking completely. Not just in terms of ‘replacing cigarettes with vape pens,’ but because you could choose the nicotine level, it was easier to ease off the nicotine…

“Be Gay, Do Crime’ is actually an LGBTQ rallying cry, mostly inspired from the idea that for so long queer existence was criminalized. I thought it was a pretty common phrase, but it turns out that’s because I’m in San Francisco where it’s gathered a lot of its steam:

Dudes on the internet: It’s totally cool to ask my employees how they lost their virginity. It’s just sexual, it’s not harassment! It’s okay to have sexual conversations with your subordinates!

“I’ve been saying this a lot lately, but shows like this need a lot more than 10 episodes per season”
