I know it is not generally appropriate to comment on women’s clothing and appearance but every time I am forced to look at this picture I am so weirded out by the outfit Sarah Palin has on. As though she is a wine mom stopping by a friend’s place on the way to see a Ted Nugent concert, and is not a former governor and…

It is gobsmacking to me that he thinks coming out as trans and going through the process of transitioning means kids are CONFORMING TO SOCIAL PRESSURE. This is serious up is down/black is white territory.

I read the vulture piece and I really appreciate him saying “I really like having a boss and having assignments.” I come from a similar background as him and we even went to college together although I don’t really know him, and people in our orbits tend to make a big deal about being leaders, being the boss, being in…

The article goes into quite a bit of detail regarding numerous other hosts who kind of sort of but not really had late night slots. Sykes’s show was only on on Saturday nights, which in my opinion (and in Tonja’s too, I guess) does not really make her a late night host if the comparison is with Carson, Leno,…

This concerns me a little bit, honestly. Gender neutral and trans are not the same thing. Calling these toys “trans” perpetuates the idea that trans people just make up their mind one morning to be a man, the next morning to be a woman, the next morning to be a potato, and they want the taxpayers to pay for it, etc.…

I didn’t just like this song, I liked and still like the entire album. I’m not going to apologize. “This band sucks” is the most tiresome kind of topic for a blog. People love opportunities to look down their noses at other people and say “oh so THAT’S the kind of thing you like.” 

My thinking is, they will throw anything at the wall and see what sticks. If it sticks, you hold on like your life depends on it. Clearly the bathroom thing resonates with some people, and it’s enough people that they figure it’s a winning issue. They also think that if they flog it enough, more people will come over…

...especially since it’s theoretically an advertisement for the shoes? Why would you manipulate the shoes specifically to look so weird?

For what it’s worth, I know three (count ‘em) Doloreses and have never met a Deloris/Delores. I don’t think it’s a weird spelling.

I have always had a genuine issue with the way this topic is framed.

I recently got into a heated discussion with someone about whether the “official” first day of a new week is Sunday or Monday. Not the work week, the “week.” My perspective is that there is no such thing as the “official” first day of the “week.” He was going on and on about how government agencies have to be able to…

Most of the Ivy League is set up so that undergraduates have little meaningful debt. You get need-based aid that can amount to a full ride if your family makes around the median household income, and the aid is less the more money your family makes. The whole point is that rich people should pay their own way, and…

I vividly remember watching his TV show and he said “now, we have a file photo of Chelsea....” and they put up a picture of a dog. And he said “oh, now, that, uh, that is obviously a mistake” while he laughed, and you could hear crew members in the background laughing too. Even as an 11 year old I knew there was…

To be fair, most of your state’s leadership thinks government-sponsored power is an evil unto itself and everybody should be off the grid on a generator with well water. Because coming together to solve problems is only valid when the problems are religious in nature. 

SNL can always be counted on to explore the freshest material!

I sometimes wonder about the sheer mindfuck of being an attractive actress and constantly being asked to play 10-15-20 years younger than your age (if you’re LUCKY.)

I mean, it’s trending because literally noone was saying it yesterday and handfuls of people are saying it now. It’s not worth giving this any oxygen. 

This is one of my favorite pieces not just from McSweeneys, but the whole universe of 2010s online culture/humor publications. It’s like, between this one and Everything That’s Wrong of Raccoons.

I have quite a few 19-20 year old assholes to introduce you to

It’s hilarious until you consider that most people who dabble and play at the stock market are going to end up chasing a lot of bad bets and losing a lot of money. This is one of the few areas - much like medicine, and law - where I feel better knowing people who know what they’re doing are more or less in charge,…
