She’s always been a tv host, rather than a news anchor. She’s been around for years but love island was her biggest show. She really only started getting in the press for her love life in the last few years, and as far as I know it hasn’t been tumultuous, just every one has been skeevy or ended suddenly, or in…

on one hand, this will make him a bunch of money, being a marvel star and all

on the other hand, everything i have ever heard is that what is required to get your body to look like that is basically 6-12 months of outright misery, so that can’t be fun

Isn’t it cute when trolls lie and say that they’re American when they’re clearly not?

Yelling over everyone all the time is kind of the asshole conservative MO though.  If they stop yelling it gives people time to actually think about what they’re saying...

Yeah, and could we PLEASE have a hand-wringing article about wait times in the US?! They’re like, really not that different!

I don’t want Splinter. I’d be satisfied with it being what Jezebel used to be.

As we all know, hotels are hard to come by in NYC.

It’s just the opposite. It deosn’t exactly fawn over the Windsors and their pals, but it casts them in a very sympathetic light.

I know that when I'm looking for a convenient place to stay in NYC and price is no object, something resembling the atmosphere of a train station is at the top of my list. 

I don’t watch the show but putting his arm around a woman while she’s sleeping seems like a pretty extreme intrusion to me, especially in an environment where people are so vulnerable, and I would absolutely consider it wise to remove him.

They are playing a game for a life changing amount of money. The players are naturally going to be hesitant about “causing a scene”. It should be on the producers to take that burden on themselves to enforce rules and kick someone off if need be without asking a contestant what their thoughts are. Placing that…

I took it that way because she said she wanted to make sure this specific author wasn’t selected. It came off as very snooty.

Thank you! I didn’t appreciate, “This author is good enough for teen girls but not my thing,” implying teenage girls have low standards. I wouldn’t complain about it or run to Twitter, but I didn’t think it was cool either. A shrug is the biggest response from me.

How is that an issue that she had a particularly strong opinion about a particular book that was under consideration?

One thing I’ve learned from following writers on Twitter is that 99 percent of them, no matter what level of fame they’re at, have Google Alerts on their name.

“Inclusion absolutely matters, in the classroom and outside the classroom, but yelling at a single woman with absolutely no sway in the publishing or academic worlds, is not the way to get it.” 

“I really don’t see how it’s anything terribly controversial to say that Dessen’s work doesn’t exist at the same level the rest of these works.”

“I doubt that there wasn’t a single novel beloved by teen girls on that list...”

Oh this one is a GEM:
