They’re both great, although I have a hard time separating Peter Sarsgaard from the creeps he plays. I love An Education and he is fantastically awful in it.

I think genetics are decidedly in their favor; their parents are driven, in my opinion intelligent, and in Kanye’s case talented. I don’t think having bipolar disorder disqualifies someone from being a good parent or person. Many highly accomplished and wonderful people struggle with mental illness. Their wealth…

Yup. Weed can be problematic for many people, but it’s got nothing on opioids or even commonly prescribed anxiety and sleeping medications. It hurts to think of all the people who end up addicted to opioids after taking them for pain, who could have tried weed instead. It especially sucks that we can’t do robust…

I live in CA and just visited Oregon, and was surprised by how cold people seemed there. Especially people in customer service roles - they did not smile or say “thanks” or “have a nice day” even when I did. Maybe there’s a regional and cultural component as well.

I agree that small talk is an annoying time waste, but also I think you can be direct and courteous. When I supervised people I always used please and thank you when assigning work, even though I wasn’t asking people to do anything that wasn’t their job. People were generally appreciative of me treating them with…

That was a really messed up thing to do to that cat. Paw prints on a car are not a big deal, but he tortured that animal. It makes me sad that people can be so cruel for such petty reasons.

How did this get ungrayed? I guess the commenters at jezebel have sunk to the level of the dailymail or TMZ, and it’s interesting and fun to talk about how disgusting this woman’s body is. Fuck you, and fuck everyone else saying similar things. It’s hurtful to ALL WOMEN, not just Kim K, when we discuss women’s bodies…

I’m sure the folks posting on this article (specifically those bringing up Cecile Richards salary, for some reason) are just as angry about every over paid white dude CEO. I’m certain this has absolutely nothing to do with Mayer being one of few women to ever achieve this level of success. Thanks (genuine) to the…

Oh, that’s brutally accurate. The “love” over Melania kills me.

I thought the author was making the point that the original book did not fall into the white savior trope, but that the movie focused too much on the author writing the book. This post is making the point that it’s visually boring and takes focus from the more important and interesting parts of the story, like…

Good for you standing up for yourself. I’m sorry you had to work in that environment, and I hope you are proud of yourself for calling out that bullshit.

I can confirm this is true! I knew people who taught yoga with her at Yoga to the People in NY and they said she went by Hilary but then wanted to go by Hilaria as she got a higher profile.

Well intentioned people still tell women that they can’t do handstands on their period because their blood will leak out of their uterus and cause endometriosis if they go upside down. When I was training to be a yoga teacher an “expert” made everyone on their period sit in a corner while he taught us headstands. I…

I don’t think she is absolved of all responsibility, I would not have appeared in the ad personally. But of everyone involved in the ad, she is probably least culpable. If she is the primary target of your outrage, you might want to think about why you are so angry at her specifically. She’s also a model, not an…

Especially since Kendall Jenner probably had no involvement in developing the idea and executing it. The ad was terrible and I’m glad Pepsi pulled it. I don’t want to defend it in any way. However, people need to use some introspection and consider that they might direct a disproportionate amount of outrage towards…

It sounds like you had a pretty negative experience, and I’m sorry if you personally experienced or witnessed abuse. If you feel like sharing, do you think the education you got was better than what you would have received locally? To an outsider, it doesn’t seem like these schools offer a good enough education to…

I feel like most parents would be pretty sad to send their kids away and not see them for most of the year. It’s inherently weird to ship your kids off to be raised by other people.

Hmmm. If you watched those videos and thought they proved nothing about Kanye’s and Taylor’s respective motives, then I can’t argue with you because we live in two different realities.

Not what I am referring to, I am talking about her blatantly lying about whether he called her to check in about the lyrics in Famous. He wanted to make sure they were not hurtful to her personally, and she took it as an opportunity to get more publicity by playing the victim. Although I also do not care about him…

I do. She used performative feminism to benefit her career, misrepresent a black man’s actions to insinuate inappropriate sexual aggression towards her pure white virginal self, and attack a female rival. If she had not tried to claim feminism to bolster her brand, and then used it to hurt other people for petty…
