Although I general hate people who treat other people badly (‘paying customer’ status does not justify being an a-hole), I do derive some pleasure from the thought that she maybe gave Drumpf all hell.

Having read the entire judgement now, I’m afraid I can’t see how the judge could have come to any other conclusion than his:

You’re right in asking that question, because it probably isn’t that cut ‘n dried as I put it; in each relationship we may adopt different roles towards our partner and that won’t be a fixed black ‘n white thing... what I would say, though, is that one type isn’t necessarily better or worse than the other (whereas in…

I feel that I may be one of those women; likely a strong reason I am not in a relationship.

Sorry, but I had to stop watching a couple of minutes in, because it made me feel uncomfortable... throwing in clichés about being an Uber driver, selling biryanis under the counter, not paying tax... those aren’t funny jokes, they’re sincerely held beliefs among many a racist; wrapping them up in ‘comedy’ only works…

I admire your aspiration, but I worry that in the real world science writers end up on the breadline because “GETTING TATTOOS PREVENTS COLDS” is better clickbait than truth will ever be :(

Just curious... what makes any friend, ANY friend, mental illness or not, lash out at one’s partner like that? Not even when I was young and stupid and in a bad relationship did any of my friends go anywhere near lashing-out territory... the ‘worst’ they did was very carefully ask whether I was okay...

Aaaarrggghhh why are women still doing this to other women?! We couldn’t make my marriage work, but one thing (now ex-)husband and I did get right was to organise a wedding that wasn’t going to burden anyone with anything. So no bridesmaids, bridesmaids dresses, bridal showers, gift register or any of that overpriced…

It is a social construct. I know a number of women raised by loving parents who made sure they never had to want for or worry about anything. Which is beautiful and romantic but it also means they won’t notice things they’ve not been programmed to notice, if that makes sense, be it messiness (because someone else has…

Sounds great on paper, doesn’t work out like that in practice. I didn’t plan to go into hospital but one day I did, and ended up having to discharge myself because my husband just couldn’t hack running the household (and we didn’t even have his children living with us full time). No amount of post-divorce loneliness…

Surely if they’d cast the likes of Lauryn Hill she would have been a much bigger draw than Zoe Saldana?

For all the progressiveness and diversity you may find in LA and NYC (more than in Montana?), if that’s not represented in the people that operate the cities’ media, press/media will keep producing cringeworthy sh*t like referred to here.

I suspect when it’s something a white middle-class editor has newly discovered, it’s “new” and “hot” because they’d personally never seen it before. But, admittedly, that’s me talking from my own biased perspective of being white and having experienced UK media as being run & represented by a disproportionate number…

Unfortunately I think Trump is Teflon for his supporters, and anti-Trump ads and the like only end up reinforcing their tribalist mindset.

How relevant or irrelevant are numbers anyway? I’ll admit to having regrets in respect of the who/how/why/where/when of particular encounters/relations I’ve had, but the ‘how many’... not so much.

I wonder if it actually achieved a wave of new Tidal subscriptions at all.
(I loved my free trial, but £24.99/month – which is what it costs here in the UK – is beyond my current budget.)

Sounds like mere gravity at work... bit like us women’s boobs drooping with age, right?

Maintaining a reasonably normal married life —let alone a sex life— with endometriosis is at times nigh-on impossible. Endometriosis wasn’t the only factor but it certainly was a major factor in the failure of my marriage, so in that respect my heart goes out to Padma Lakshmi. This disease is a greater ar$ehole than…

resulting in some A-plus shade and a thoughtful essay from Kim in response

No doubt if there ever is a dramatisation, Zoe Saldana will claim the lead part :p
