This was going to be my tip if you hadn’t done it already - Genie+ is worth the money 100%. It takes a little getting used to figuring out how it works (i.e., when you can book various rides), but it’s pretty intuitive once you start. The key is to reserve a new ride as soon as you possibly can (I think it’s…

I’ve never felt more dragged yet seen from an article title.

Wow I absolutely did not think of Halsey, but, yes!

On a tangentially related note, has anyone else read The Vanishing Half and wonder how the HBO adaptation will cast it? Obviously, the book does a really great job of showing how much of a construct race is. I may be misremembering, but my understanding is that the character who passes is considered Black because she…

Yeah that’s kind of a gross and really bizarre way to frame this article when you read the full context.

“Lying to someone you love to protect them from knowing what you’ve done puts you on about the same moral ground as a firefighter who rescues someone from a building he set on fire.”

It is SO HARD to be in a heterosexual relationship as a woman when you’re the one with the higher sex drive. Just makes you feel totally unattractive because as you say we are taught men are fuck-machines. Very hard to overcome feeling like your partner’s lack of sex drive reflects your worth or attractive. As someone…

100% agree.

All fair points! I agree that she is being used by the DNC, but I’m not sure it’s totally to draw from Bernie—seems to me more like a general way to split progressives so we don’t have a chance. Basically sucks that the narrative is being turned into Warren v. Sanders.

Out of genuine curiosity, do you support Sanders over Warren (if you even do) for personality purposes, semantic/idealism purposes (I know she identifies as something of an ethical capitalist and he a socialist), or policy purposes? Or something else?

Jezebel should do a full-on, regular old advice column like they used to (but with a better columnist—whoever did it a few years ago was extremely polarizing). This one is fun but it’s limited edition (?) and also kind of a joke, right?

I read that in another review as well, though I also haven’t had a chance to watch the special. That is completely positive, and in my view the best thing to come out of this scandal: people started talking about consent and sex and hopefully changing their approaches to it.

For sure, he could definitely do that, and I would be very curious to see “our” response to an apology as simple as that. I wonder if it would also be a losing game for him considering so many people don’t think he did anything overtly or intentionally wrong (which I’m not saying is actually a good reason not to…

Yeah, I mean, I largely agree, and I think for what he “did” I’m pretty satisfied with what he’s said on the subject and how he has acted. But obviously many people disagree, so I’m more interested in the critical response to his standup than the actual babe.net incident, because I think that’s what’s more telling…

I am actually very curious how someone in Ansari’s position could really own up or say something that would really appease us. It just seems like someone in this position is relatively doomed (rightfully or wrongfully—I’m not making a judgement on that): anything he said would probably have not been enough. And that’s…

What do you think is a good cbd:thc ratio? I’m trying to take a break from heavy thc for anxiety purposes, so I’m trying some cbd heavy products (I like in a legal recreational state) but not sure what will actually be effective.

I loved the bit parts! They were so specific and felt pretty accurate even though they were hyperbolized (especially the drama kids, which is such a specific high school clique/group that never gets enough media play).

100%. That is what I found un-relatable as well, plus the fact that even though Molly and Amy clearly didn’t socialize much and seemed to be attending a fairly large public school, they seemed to actually know all their fellow students/the other students seemed to have spent time actually thinking about Molly and Amy…

What totally irks me about this “recognition” or representation narrative is that Superbad resonates with me very little but is also very, very funny. I related a fair amount to Booksmart—though not totally—but it still had me cracking me up pretty much the whole time. It doesn’t have to be relatable to be canonical.…

I’m just finishing up law school now, and it amazes me that what happened to Anita Hill is something we have never officially discussed when reading anything by and talking about Clarence Thomas. To think that in 20 years, law students will read Kavanaugh and only know what happened last year as some sort of footnote…
