I’m sorry I can only give this one star. Weinstein was one of the biggest names show business. One of the reasons so few people openly talked about his behavior was that not having some type of professional relationship with him was a death knell for a lot of careers. Everyone huge in Hollywood probably has a photo…

To bust on Oprah for being part of the problem is frankly absurd, anyway. She was sexually abused as a child, and has consistently spoken out about the abuse and supported other survivors for decades.

Her talents include guiding a teen magazine to do smart, relevant political writing that’s better than a lot of coverage aimed at adults...

If you need more costume drama, my favorite that everyone must watch is Wives and Daughters, another Gaskell novel adapted by the BBC. Molly Gibson is maybe my favorites BBC miniseries character ever. The book is also amazing.

“Rather than engage in endless legal battles at taxpayer expense...”

Yeah, I hear what you’re saying. Hard times do not always make people stronger, and sometimes you do get more than you can take. I couldn’t get over being mugged on my own, whether you want to call that weak or scared, it was probably some of both. That’s why we have modern mental health care. It just sucks that there…

I went through EMDR for one traumatic experience (I was mugged) and I love the results but it was SO HARD. I cried a lot and I bought and compulsively ate a large order of Pho after every session.

She’s pregnant because at it’s heart this is a deeply conventional story of boring rich people. She’s pregnant because they got married, and that’s what unimaginative authors have married people do.

From a book called Preserving Italy. It’s a great book of canning, pickling, and homemade liqueurs. This recipe was to use candied orange peels that were another recipe in the book.

Last weekend was cookie weekend for me, so I could send some to friends and bring them to events over the course of the week. I’m Italian American and my family’s cookies are pizzelles and this round, puffy cookie with icing and nonpareils that I don’t have a name for. They are a common Italian-American Christmas…

She was obviously saying “OMG it’s Robert Pattinson! I loooooove Twilight! Do you think he’ll pet me? Hey Robert! Robert over here! I love you!”

My brother used to do the whole “I’m going to run away” thing when he was ten or so, and my parents would try to play it cool, but I would ruin it by freaking out. He was my older brother and I loved him and I couldn’t believe they would just let him go! Once I tackled him and held him down in the foyer until he…

Sometimes when my husband gets flustered I say that to him, and he gets SO ANGRY, I think because he doesn’t get the reference.

He is a co-owner, yes? He does not have to name the women who complained. He could tell Mario that he noticed his behavior, or heard about it, and that he found it unacceptable. As an owner he has a responsibility to run his business according to the law, and allowing sexual harassment is not lawful!

co-owner Steve Crane warned him: “Don’t even think about messing with the waitresses—they’ve been through hell with Mario.”

No one does good Boston accents in movies. the Kennedy-style accent is always the worst, because it’s basically a dialect of a dialect, and no one but the Kennedys really sounds like the Kennedys.

I remember when he said that, and I just knew all their promises would come to nothing. “We plan on appealing to black voters by making snarky comments that rely on stereotypes on TV.” Good luck with that, GOP.

Also, her stepson wasn’t fucking ALIVE when it happened, so how does he know it didn’t happen?
