Seriously. Unless he drugged the cat first, it didn’t happen. 

The only reason I know about him is because one of the premium networks (Starz, maybe?) made a documentary years ago where they gave two indie directors the same script and the same amount of money and had them make their own versions. He was one of the directors, and the other was a young woman. Zachary Quinto was a…

The Kardashians have some taste in men, don’t they?

My kid discovered unboxing videos a little while ago and is obsessed. I find them incredibly boring at best and kind of frightening at worst (hello, materialism). I cannot understand what he likes about them, but if I let him he would literally sit there all day and watch them. It’s the most bizarre thing in the…

Right? Who wants their skin to look like that? 

Obviously Maslany was the best thing about that show--geeking out over her performance was basically the favorite pastime of all my drama nerd friends--but it had a pretty feminist show that at least tried to explore ideas related to women’s bodily autonomy. This isn’t the worst idea.

I know you’re joking, but I once complained about the cost of childcare and my uncle said basically that. Thanks, Uncle Bill! I’ll tell my mom, your sister, that you think my giving her grandchildren was a bad idea. Let’s go see how well that goes over.

These dudes all believe that they’re entitled to beautiful women and to never have to see women they’re not sexually attracted to regardless of what they look like.

When I was a kid growing up in a conservative, Evangelical community I thought, Okay, women are held to different standards and given fewer rights and privileges, but we’re protected and cherished so it’s fine. Then I grew up a little and realized, Nope, no protecting or cherishing going on at all. Carlson just…

I’ve known a few women who got pregnant accidentally and who kept the pregnancy because the father convinced them to keep it. Guess how many of those dads are still around and helping raise the kid? Zero! I’m sure there have been guys out there whose partners wanted to terminate an unexpected pregnancy and convinced…

So, based on the way that everything Trump baselessly accuses someone else of doing seems to be something Trump himself has done, I think it’s safe to say that Trump was born in Kenya, assaulted a woman in Central Park, and was bleeding from his wherever.

I’m a writer, which means I wind up Googling a lot of really strange stuff. Neither Google nor FB know what to do with me. I recently got an ad for a service that would find me “faithful black men”. I’m happily married, but thanks, FB. I’ll let you know if that’s something I’m ever in the market for.

Mr. Audrey had a bunch of questions all of a sudden about how I felt about diamonds. Then, one Saturday, he had a really important errand he needed to run with a female friend. He came back with a bag from a jeweler. “Don’t look in this,” he said. “Oh, do you want to go out to [nice restaurant] on Saturday?” We’ve…

I remember reading a Rolling Stone profile of him back when his first big album came out (the one with “New York, New York” came out) and thinking, “This guy sounds like a douche.” Turns out, that impression was not wrong.

A black friend of mine who went to an almost entirely white private high school once said (in college), “I’m fairly certain that I’m being used by, like, half of my high school as the reason why they’re not racist. I’d bet even the people who were shitty to me, who called me a nigger, claim that we’re buddies and that…

A cop once told me that upwards of 60% of their drug busts came from traffic stops. That’s where a lot of racism comes in because when they’re making choices about who to pull over, they are sometimes doing it based on who looks like they might have drugs on them. I once drove around with a taillight out for over a…

I want to know: how often does it work out that the police force is like, “Nah, it’s fine, he can stay, I’m sure this was a one-off,” and the guy goes on to have a distinguished career with no further incidents? Zero? Pretty close to zero? Because I feel like once someone has done something like that, they’ve told you…

WHY ARE THESE PEOPLE ALLOWED TO STAY ON THE FORCE AFTER THEY DO SHIT LIKE FIRE A GUN NEAR SOMEONE’S HEAD?!?

The teaser trailer is tonally really strange. Maybe it doesn’t reflect the tone of the movie (hopefully?), but if it does the movie is going to be... something.

I’ve read some of the anti-vaccine blogs (mostly for some eye-rolly entertainment) and mostly it’s people very confidently making assertions with numbers that sound scientific but are linked to no citations. For instance, there was one blog that claimed “65% of children who receive the MMR vaccine before the age of 6…
