I’ve been helping out with my 90 year old friend and dear lord the stuff that comes out of her mouth is gold. I think my favorite was when she was getting ready to move from her house to a retirement community where she was worried she’d be too colorful to fit in. She was f-bombing like crazy and I asked if she was…

Because of Angelina, I came out as a lesbian in high school. Turns out I’m mostly straight; it was just the power of Angelina Jolie.

VERY MUCH SAME.

“passionateness”

Fun fact: In the late 90s and early aughts I was an MC (big up Toronto Junglist Massive, BRAP BRAP) called Elle V. It started as a joke... but then it stuck. And because of the internet being in it’s infancy, none of it exists online, just in my memory and in notebooks, and in analogue pictures. I didn’t pursue it…

To be fair I don’t believe they choose the thumbnail for the video, that’d be the uploader.

The people who think Oprah isn’t qualified to be President completely misunderstand what it takes for a black woman, for any woman but especially a black woman, to create a media and business empire. The whole thing is fundamentally a political act, unless you were that one PA on set that Seth Meyers mentioned, Jeremy…

Sort of off topic, because her speech was great, but Oprah looked the absolute best I’ve ever seen her look; everything (hair, makeup, dress) was perfection. I wonder who designed her dress?

My 8 year old daughter was next to me and when she said some little girl might be watching this and be inspired my daughter looks up and says I don’t even know what this is and went back to reading her book. She’s stone cold.

A thoughtful, empathetic person (and, yes, I do believe this Pope is) raised under conditions of dictatorship, in which religion was venally used to buttress an authoritarian regime, will always have a sharp nose for hypocrisy.

My parents lived near that building 50 years ago and my mom was OBSESSED with trying to spot her. Then one day, my mom was pushing my brother in a baby carriage and Greta Garbo was walking towards them. As she passed my mom, she said, “you’re baby is beautiful”.

Good God, people — quit complaining that Taylor Swift or Person X is on the cover but Terry Crews and Person Y isn’t. Do you not get how that sounds???

That’s not what Time is saying by picking a cut-off, and I think it’s ungenerous to assume that they are.

Every year since 1989 I have cried on December 6th, as that was the day of the massacre of 14 women at L’ecole Polytechnique in Montreal. Today was the first time since I was 13 that I have felt hope behind the sadness. The choice Time made to proclaim these women Person of the Year, is amazing to me. Abusers are…

A Gape of Assholes, perhaps?

Ironic insults and childish behavior do not make you look like the reasonable one here. He has a legitimate argument, pull your fingers out of your ears and join the conversation like an adult or don’t say anything at all.

If Billy Bush were a peer or friend of Trump’s and was egging him on like that, I’d agree he was a complicit asshole. But he was subordinate to both Trump and his NBC bosses (for whom Trump had the #1 show on TV), so Bush really wasn’t empowered do the right thing without fearing for his job.

Or even, “Woof! Wow! That’s a thing to say!” It isn’t really approving or disapproving.

Honest question here: what exactly should Billy Bush done / said in the moments after Trump made those statements? I don’t remember exactly what was said during the Tape or if Billy egged him on but what is the diplomatic way to manage that situation?

Look, some women can be the most ardent supporters of an oppressive patriarchal system. Pam has survived in spite of/by virtue of her physical attributes all her life and can’t see the forest for the trees.
