So, they turned around because he was creating such a disturbance right? My understanding is that they felt they had to get him off the plane even if that was acquiescing to his demand.

I cried the whole time even through my sighs of exasperation over just how much the first hour read like another Slumdog Millionaire clone. It has its flaws and definitely plays on easy emotional moments, but I enjoyed it more than most of this year’s movies.

This announcement is everything camp and regal and good that I ever wanted The Carters to be.

Oh no! I’m sorry, but she and the dress are both v bad.

This sounds exactly right. Kids just mash all the snippets of new words and half-truths together in their minds and hope it’s close to being right.

I get this, but the average adult in this country actually watches a ton of television every week. Easily more than 30 hours a week for those 35-49, and the numbers only go up as we age.

Yes, but this is also their plan. Shift that responsibility off the federal government and put it on individuals and families who are already struggling. Families who will bear an even larger burden under Trump’s tax plan and who will benefit less from it.

Faris’ own podcast has a couple of good bits, but she is often just like all over the place and super try-hard. She usually has no sense of when and where to land things. Super effusive but self-deprecating. And her thinking can be totally erratic. She’s a lot. Other good celebs seem to like her. And she seems nice.…

I love that this painting gives us direct and confrontational eye contact, a hopeful glance upward, a watchful but open gaze outward, and a wistful but determined side-eye. We’re going to need all of these visions and voices moving forward.

Sure, except that drone strikes and civilian casualties from military intervention weren’t a driving theme of Clinton’s entire campaign. They were, to most progressives, an unfortunate hawkishness that was still more reasonable than Trump’s pro-Russia approach to Syria and similarly ignorant approaches to national…

This looks relatively obnoxious. It’s certainly not a popcorn and icee in the theater kinda flick. It seems to make much more sense as a video installation. But I’m glad she’s enjoying some real acting challenges.

But that’s her career and her lifestyle. It’s how she has long chosen to live. Choosing to minimize a traumatic life event like this and keep the details off the show would be a totally valid move for a victim, but it would also generate criticism and potentially make her feel more powerless.

I just don’t know why we still feel the need to retreat into pro and anti porn factions, y’all. Women face exploitation and violence in every profession. And the entire entertainment industry is built on those practices. We should talk about those problems and advocate for performers in these industries. For every…

The problem is that those folks who don’t live in cities aren’t willing to admit that their way of life is coming to an end in our current economy. They want to be “in” the success and the innovation of the 21st century without changing at all to meet it. Conceding those aspects of their lives and ideologies that are o…

Democrats are still the party of white working class voters even if those folks refuse to acknowledge it. White working class folks who vote against their own class interests aren’t doing so because the Left is failing to include them or message to them, they’re doing so because race and globalization are easier to…

I am v annoyed that every speech has a message now. It’s like competitive grieving and political posting on Facebook. It’s obnoxious. But Tom’s was one of the more sincere of the “this is why what we do is important” speeches.

This response is gross and demeaning. It is not unnatural or unhealthy to choose not to be (or simply end up not being) partnered. Equating being partnerless with having zero social life or family shows you are blind to the numerous types of relationships and life experiences out there that exist outside of…

Thank you, Aimée, for this piece. It’s a wonderful expression of how we are meant to feel like our lives are still and empty because we aren’t in a relationship or aren’t pursuing one.

I’m not usually one to hate people for liking things, but damn y’all, if you liked La La Land we can not be friends anymore. You are now my sworn enemy.

And I guarantee you that men from every industry will say “that’s just how this industry works, it happens to everybody and often has nothing to do with gender.”
