“I wouldn’t be surprised in Stauffer comes back with another vlog, all in the name of making influencer coin.”

Her books are absolutely steeped in all the cliches and assumptions that underly the British class system. You can smell the desperation to be in the club from page one.

This is a really frustrating article.

Or a bunch of people who know one another from work called each other up to do a thing? Occam’s razor is sufficient to conclude that the video was as dumb as it appeared, not dumber.

“Curb stomping” to describe a woman who possessing feet in the vicinity of another athlete, or “playing with one leg” to describe someone kicking a ball in which kicking the f**king ball is fundamental to the sport should be embarrassing for everyone involved.

So Paltrow, asked about how quarantine is affecting her health by a magazine focused on health, talked about her health. How gauche.

“Why didn’t Refinery29 leave this essay up for transparency’s sake and live with their mistake?”
