I’m not even some Will Smith stan but it seems like he’s more than adequately apologized multiple times, which has been accepted by Chris Rock most importantly. It’s not like Will is some serial stage rusher (Kanye, anyone?). It’s not like other people doing bad things negates this thing, but really - let’s all move… Read more

As satisfying as this is for those of us with two eyes and a brain who think Walker is a dumbass, ads like this just make conservatives say “see, they think they’re better than us - elitists!”
I take issue with the comments here saying that they “don’t believe” that the letter could have spurred a suicide. Just because a lot of other people, or you personally, wouldn’t have reacted that way doesn’t mean you’re privy to Meyer’s state of mind. The lifelong level of pressure to achieve that literally starts in… Read more
“It seems there is no right way for a celebrity woman to leave a celebrity man without being blamed or harassed in some way for having the guts or sense to end a relationship that simply was not working.”

Yeah reading this only makes me root for Elon to hurry up and destroy Twitter already.
I agree that there is zero public interest here unless the taxpayers paid for anything. Like someone else said, pretty easy FOIA request situation. I will raise an eyebrow to the somewhat douchiness optics of having your wedding at the White House and the questions about who paid that it would raise.
Yup totally this. After all the direct streaming during Covid, I’m happy to just watch movies at home. Our TVs these days are huge (in size) and the theater is not only expensive, I’m still not super down with being in an indoor room with a bunch of strangers breathing and coughing for a couple of hours. I barely… Read more
“Many journalists and activists (myself included) built much of our careers on Twitter and rely on it heavily for real-time breaking news and to just generally do our jobs.” Yeah I’m sad to lose the funny parts, but I’m not sad that if Twitter goes down that journalism will have to stop considering reporting on Twitter… Read more
Re the copyright, this is automatically given to the creator of the work when something is created (book, art, etc.) in the US. It’s possible he signed *away* the rights to a publishing house, but more likely is that the co-writer of the book is the remaining claim to the copyright and thus chose to publish.
This plus no consideration of this maybe not being a date too - - because normal adults can also be friends with people of the opposite sex. I go out to lunch and dinner with my guy friends regularly - sometimes we even share an Uber. Don’t get me wrong, John Mayer seems like a skeeve in the grand scheme of things,… Read more
Yup. This. She misspoke in a way, but she also is clearly a different category of celebrity than Raisa for better or for worse. Yes Raisa is in the industry, but she’s not a part of that A-list celebrity mean girls clique.
Very happy for Hillary and anyone who wants to go through pregnancy at this age. Genuinely. My take is that I was super happy to get into my 40s and have people stop asking me about when I was going to get married and have babies, so every time some high profile celebrity has a baby in her late 40s I’m like “C’mon… Read more
Right? Like, I feel for the small communities that rely on Twitter like this, but it in no way merits keeping the firehose of hate speech open at all times. There is no reason why writers can’t migrate to other platforms - hello, Reddit?
Yup. This was definitely the cringiest of the bunch.
Right?? This is the recovery memoir that literally nobody asked for. I saw a tv promo for an upcoming interview with the sad piano music and everything and, like, no. That tweet about Appalachia really nails it.
“They can’t put us all in jail” - I mean, I think they’re willing to give it a try?
I didn’t realize this woman had tried other ways to break out on the Internet. I’m kind of calling bullshit here on her whole schtick and the bird flu. People are so fucking weird with their need for internet attention.
Billie Eilish fans, calm down. First of all 10 years is really not a big age difference and she is an adult. Second of all, she’s 100 times the star that he is, and we all know dudes can’t handle that shit, so he’ll be yesterday’s news in no time.
Yeah one of the biggest selling features for me about Instagram is that it didn’t make noise so I could check it whenever. One of my primary uses for it is to send funny memes to friends, and now they are all sending me videos - and then miffed when I don’t watch them. Like guys, I’m at work - I can’t be watching 20… Read more
Yep. Longtime Bostonian here and same. Plus, how much you wanna bet all of the clowns marching in this were actually not from Boston but say they’re from Boston (like Attleboro, Brockton, et al).
