I'll chime in on the no-fair side of the question — who is going to respond "Well this looks like a piece of crap from the mall" when asked about a piece of art even if it does.

"Modern" deserving its scare-quotes as that was 21 years ago!

There's a need. I love Gillian Armstrong's version, but I think Little Women is the kind of standby that benefits from a once-per-generation refurbishment, like P&P or a Christmas Carol.

As one of the commenters on the previous article, I'm impressed with both Tracy and the interview subject here.

In the funeral episode we learned that she was his beard in high school and loved him "so much" at that time.

Megan is given as many as possible horrible personal qualities in order to eclipse the fact that what she is saying is basically reasonable.

Yeah, John's last-minute "What does that mean?" kind of threw me because for the whole rest of the scene he'd been playing it like he knew exactly what was up and was biding his time.

The erasure began in the article itself, which used "Yeah, everyone admits that these labels aren't permanent" as a jumping off point for "That must prove that being gay or female (?!) isn't permanent either."

This episode was torture. Toooortuuuuure.

Except that the article itself cheerfully goes on to say that none of the people she talks to who use these labels really think of them as anything but temporary states.

"I haven't been feeling very sexy lately. I guess I'll focus on other things for a while."
— totally reasonable people

It's clear he deserved the indictment.

I am scrolling, scrolling, scrolling, looking for a single shocked person who shows the slightest interest in the fact that the dolphin was then caged and died of mistreatment.

I'm not unshockable — obviously sex with animals is not so great for a number of different reasons.

You're quite sure that not one "oh" was an "I acknowledge that nothing I do or say will prevent this person from describing their idiosyncratic self-concept to me in exhaustive detail" kind of "oh"?

When the senses are shaken, and the soul is driven to madness,

Yuss! I am excited that Jezebel is excited about this show. It was an awesome beginning for the season, except where the fuck is Richie?

Kay's not Gerda's brother in Hans Christian Anderson, he's the neighbor boy, and there's a sort of implied innocent romance.

Next up: Jezebel's expose of the shocking contents of a middle-school paper's editorial page. Those sixth-graders won't know what hit 'em!

This is Jezebel's SECOND article about the same frat-party invitation that (scandalously!) featured shirtless photos? Really? This is what you want to spend your time writing about?
