You left out the most haunting part of the obituary, the part that really broke me. It made me finally understand that line in all the movies that says killing a person haunts you:

Big eyes, slightly tilted head, confused smile, and the use of the phrase, “but I thought ...”? 

Freddie is right. It’s truly astounding how easy it is to manipulate men if you act the way they think women and girls should act, e.g. being unintelligent, non-threatening, knowing your place, hanging on their every word, and deferential.

I went to elementary school in English but by the time I got to 6th grade we had moved continents and I was enrolled in a French school so I read most of these books of my own initiative, not because they were on any syllabus. And you’re right, I’m forgetting a lot of female authors. I did read a lot of Joan Didion…

What do we expect from fashion magazines?

Because JLaw is the Cool Girl. I don’t think she’s intentionally scheming to try to be someone she isn’t. But I do think she and her PR have certainly figured out what makes good headlines.

I have never understood the worship of Salinger. Never. Catcher in the Rye is terrible. I got the point of the novel, I really did, but there are so many better writers out there who could have made the read far more interesting. The books they assign in high school are yearly memorials to damaged men and their…

Yeah, what do you want from the world?

Wait. Ariana Grande is Italian. Have Italians gone back to being non-white? But, I’ll be honest until they lampooned it on SNL I thought Grande was Latina! Which we reminds me of a quote from Gina Torres where she says the ‘world’ wants Latina’s that look Italian, not like her, Black.

Ariana Grande is definitely white. She just spray tans.

Their “phenomenal rapport” sounds like the conversations I have with coworkers I don’t care about but have to pretend I do.

I mean look, it’s Elle. It’s not hard-hitting journalism, neither of them are facing giant reputational issues or scandals right now, it’s just two boring friends (who happen to be famous) having a friendly conversation. There’s nothing to defend or condemn here, and I don’t understand why WWD or Jez even care at all…

If Jezebel ever needs to waste some space, I promise you exclusive rights to the hours of conversations I’ve had with my friends about what constitutes a sandwich. It’s definitely going to be riveting.

What are a bunch of Ukranian cats doing on America’s got Talent?

First FLOTUS, now this. Those Eastern Europeans are taking ALL THE GOOD AMERICAN JOBS!

And we cut a pet door into our living room door so we could air condition our cat properly with a window unit.

If you make it to the end of the video, the first cop clearly tries to pawn her off on his partner. His partner starts to argue with him. Hilarious.

Gentrification is a killer. As more white people pour into Oakland they try and take away spaces black folks have been using for years and years. I’m sure this white woman probably moved to Oakland and lives in one of the high rises on the lake and thinks she and people in her building are the only ones allowed to use…

So, apropos of nothing, but has anyone else noticed that the recent spate of people calling the cops all LOOK like people who would be calling the cops?

Imagine giving enough of a shit about what other people are doing to call the police on them for grilling food in a park, then sit there for two fucking hours waiting for the police to show up. Fucking why? She just had to ensure “justice” was served and the police confiscated their grill or something? Jesus fucking…

How hard is it for white people to mind their own business?
