It may not be a military definition of assault rifle, but language tends to re-use words based on common understanding and a huge portion of America is using that term to mean “a military-style gun with high rate of fire that has very little relation to rifles used for sport and that overwhelmingly tends to be the…

I worked as a docent at the Met for over 5 years. Here’s a few points:
- she showed up on a Saturday afternoon, one of the busiest times of the week. If she was there on a Monday at 10am there may not have been an issue.
- panniers and big big dresses aren’t a great choice as they could hit art or some other patron…
Entitled white person doesn’t get their way, throws a tantrum. What a shocker.
I’ve actually got some sympathy for the museum here. I can imagine that people would she works for the Met in some capacity. I certainly would if I saw her wandering around a classical art museum dressed like that. Anywhere else, I would think her outfit was very cool, but I can see why the museum wouldn’t think it…
She seems.... exhausting.
Good. They should deny her entry.
I must wholeheartedly ‘Ugh’ this. It is awfully self-satisfied and entitled to think you can swan around in a garment that makes you take up an enormous amount of room and jeopardize collections and also lead a lot of people to think you work for the space. I think she is just a fancy asshole.
Usually distracting or that the other patrons will think this person is a paid guide from the institution and give out incorrect information and make them look bad. They don’t want to be misrepresented by some amateur historian.
I truly, truly, truly try to be tolerant of all people and just try to let people be happy, but come the fuck ON. I’m glad she got kicked out. I hope it happens again. Throw a fucking party if you want to put that shit on, or go to some kind of costume ball.
Anyone who’s cool with this, you cool with people dressing up…
I don’t know her personally, but I run in the same circles as her. MOST people who dress up like this know that you should ALWAYS ask first because most museums and historical places (especially the big ones like the Met) are not cool with this sort of thing. So this gets a big eyeroll from me.
I jumped on this about a couple of weeks ago and I couldn’t be happier. You’re basically getting an appleTV 4k for half price + 3 months of direcTVnow. I haven’t turned on my satellite box, also directv, since I bought this. I just haven’t needed to. The appleTV4k is the best streaming device I’ve ever used, but I’ve…

Yeah, people like to bash him here on Jezebel, but he was one of the first modern male directors to acknowledge that men were hypocritical assholes for judging women’s sexuality.
The Kevin Smith Heart attack is terrifying. It feels like we came of age together. I lost interest in his movies years ago, but he seems like a good dude.
The Skelton athlete from Arizona essentially thought it looked cool last Olympics, called up the US team and got on. So depending how much time you got, you could be on the team in Beijing...
This is a bad take.
They really don’t, though. The sports might not do it for you but a ton of them are genuinely exciting, imho, and I love the spirit of the games.
Not really understanding why the Sonos 5 is even part of a smart speaker comparison. And “the Echo is ugly” is totally subjective. My 2nd gen charcoal one sits unobtrusively on a side table next to a lamp and I never even look at it. Even if I did, it’s a grey cylinder. How ugly can a gray cylinder be? If we’re…
There is also a bio pic in the works about Ada Lovelace, daughter of Lord Byron and inventor of the theories behind the computer. It’s a good time to shop around your script about some great, but uncelebrated woman scientist!
Well that’s rad.
