I’m Marvel’s bitch and I can’t help it—I’d be seeing this anyway. But if you haven’t seen The Impossible—about the family surviving the 2004 tsunami—you really should, because it is startlingly good and young teen Tom Holland is amazing in it. I’m so glad he’s getting wider recognition.

I am a middle-class, educated, churchgoing small-town white woman who wears Dress Barn dresses and cardigans and works in schools and libraries. I look like the last person in America who (insular, sheltered middle-class white) people—the majority of my acquaintance—would imagine needing the ACA. In reality, for my…

Well, you know, you probably could have put on a one-person show of Hamlet in the parking lot and no one would care as long as you weren’t in the way of people trying to get to Steak Loft.

I was mildly surprised to read the article and find out that Ed Sheeran looks like a specific two-year-old girl, because he definitely kind of looks like a toddler with a beard 100% of the time.

I need Ann Dowd to be in everything. Can’t she and Margo Martindale play terrifying sisters in something?

I 100% believe this, but as far as the cast of Silicon Valley goes, as long as I can continue my random and inexplicable crush on Thomas Middleditch I’m fine with it.

SHE STOLE THE MATTRESS! I heard the song and really listened to the lyrics a couple of weeks ago, and I was like “ah, the love story of two dickheads.”

OH MY GOD SERIOUSLY. I am 35 years old and have been fat my whole life. I do not need to suddenly be considered sexy by the wider world. Give me a mildly skirted swimsuit so I can slack off on my bikini line in peace.

Depends on the church and how fanatic they are. I’m Episcopalian and any adult who works with kids or represents the parish has to go to Safe Church training every year. Main point: in your church capacity, you’re not allowed to be alone with a kid, ever. This has been policy for years. When I was growing up at my…

That header illustration should be in the MoMA. Bravo.

She was SO GOOD in that Guantanamo Bay movie. That role suited her style perfectly. I really liked her in Still Alice, too.

I said this elsewhere, but I feel that being in a relationship with Joaquin Phoenix would probably be about as emotionally fulfilling as dating the half-chewed Snickers bar covered in cat hair you found under your couch. Maybe even less, because at least the Snickers bar made you happy once.

That’s totally fair and correct. I was interpreting humanizing as more sympathetic/empathetic/apologetic (something that ends in tic, apparently) but in the way that you mention, I totally agree.

This movie is probably well-made and nuanced and under any other circumstances would get great reviews and a few awards. Unfortunately, circumstances are not normal and people are not—should not—be here for humanized Nazis right now. I really wish that it had come out even six months ago or something, because I want…

Much as they may pretend otherwise, they’re both from Cambridge. Matt Damon’s mom was a grad professor at my college and one of the women in my college chorus went to high school with them.

A fb friend suggested Denis O’Leary for Kellyanne Conway and it’s all I want out of life now.

All hail the worn-out-looking dude on the left, who is NOT HAVING IT.

Yeah, my sister was reading it to me off her phone and I was waiting for a “female, 11o lb weight limit, full body picture required” line or something, but instead they were just things I would totally pay someone $70,000 plus benefits to do for me if I had the money.
