BENJAMIN BUTTON BABY.

Because it was a gift? That's how gifts work? If I willingly write you a check for $5,000, you cash it, and then six months later I decide I want my money back, then that's just tough titty for me.

"they were a pre-op FTM, so dude would be correct..." No. D+

Russell Brand is on point a LOT though. He does not get his due credit.

Okay, ALL of my childhood just flashed before me and still, I have no idea what these are. It's as if they haunted my dreams as a child. WHAT IS THIS FROM?

Did your straw man get his dick cut off, too? Not at all what I said. If you want to be obtuse, be obtuse.

Probably because it's typically hyperbolic or metaphorical (and in that context, comedic — "If I see my ex again I'm going to cut his dick off," said most women who were 100% not serious) and the actuality of it is, in our patriarchy, totally beyond belief. It's just a surreal thing to have happen.

While Mrs. Lung's actions are horrifying and entirely unjustified, it is not at all the same thing as FGM (as it's practiced in parts of Sudan, Ethiopia, and Somalia — it's about a lot more than the physical desecration itself). Not at all.

Good GOD she is too fine for life. DAYUM, Ms. Davis!

Not even tryna pretend she looks good here. Everything about this look is awful and that HAIR. Girl, get right with the lord.

And the Conners.

I wish to hell I could find the clip on Youtube, but back in the halcyon days of Martha Stewart Living, she did a segment on eggnog that was basically a quart* each of brandy, Irish whiskey, and bourbon suspended in a rich tempest of an arseload of whipped cream, heavy cream, eggs, sugar, and nutmeg. Martha is…

I love being reminded that Fey used to be fat. It endears her to me.

Again, totally agreed on all counts (although I'm a ride or die SS fan). I think it's a matter of implicit bias. Like white ball players are the B squad of the game, women are the B squad of comics, etc. There's an implied caveat.

Team mom? Absolutely not. She HIT people because she didn't like what they had to say to her. She hit other humans. Not okay. Ever. Especially in front of a kid. everyone involved in this was being awful.

I fully agree on all counts, I just meant that you (and I'm not trying to be combative here, it's just something that we do habitually) defaulted to comparing her only to other female comedians apropos of really nothing. Why is she only in a league of her own (GET IT)? It's like the showbiz equivalent of the WNBA…

Man, why we gotta relegate her and those other comics to the B Squad that is Female Comics?

I'm not typically an OFF WITH THEIR HEADS reactionary type, but WHO is getting fired over this because SOMEONE had better goddamn well be losing their job.

Equinox in Washington DC had the truffle in a glass case in order to promote their vegan brunch buffet. Customers could also buy shavings from the truffle for $20.

This was fantastic, thank you for the piece!
