I am such a book snob, but I feel like too many people love A Little Life for no other reason than because it’s sad. And they think it’s good because it’s long. It has moments of brilliance, but it most definitely needed an editor to run through it with a machete.

Well, that certainly doesn’t seem worthy of outrage, but let us try anyway!

Hands too, once you hit the 40's, the hands get ugly.

I am an art director. And yeah, literally everything is retouched or “photoshopped.” EVERYTHING. I’ve made ads you all have probably seen where the food is retouched, the wall is retouched, etc... you name it! They retouched it!

I had to google this and NOW I A CANT STOP LAUGHING

Wait, does anyone have attractive knees? I feel like all knees are really ugly. I mean, Miley Cyrus’s knees look like Seth Rogen from a hell dimension.

It’s true if we agree that “a certain age” is different for every woman. And man.

I’m going with “successful marketing tactic” because there is NO WAY I would have watched this video otherwise.

Good. Asking questions is good.

I know science, bitch!

I got thrown out of a cult once, and it was BRILLIANT! These things are awful and just... I wish more people would speak their mind IN the meetings. I was invited to one (now that I think on it, I do wonder if it wasn’t mostly women), and they told everyone that the source of our problems stemmed from trauma inside…

First of all there is no golden path for mothers at work. It’s not a rose garden.

There is a lot to unpack here.

Hey now! No age shaming here. I’m 44 and a big fan of Grimes. But she’s not really played a lot on commercial radio. At least not a ton in L.A. I found her through satellite radio.

Your problem is that you have too many friends. I don’t know 26 people well enough to be invited to their weddings. It’s cheaper that way.

Of course, it is just as weird and funny from the other side. All the old people read articles like this and think, “why do young people think all older people who work are somehow responsible for the hell we all have to work in now.” We certainly aren’t excited that companies have downsized and made all of us do the…

I know yesterday I said I wanted more long prose articles but maybe I misspoke...

Exactly. There’s a LOT of reasons why the Democrats have never had an insane Trumpian manchild run in their race (and most of them have nothing to do with Dems being “better” - to my mind, it has more to do with the two-party system setting both groups in opposition on everything, so anything one party is the other…

In all the times I have seen this “I’d vote for a woman, just not THIS woman” argument pop up in the comments, I have never seen anyone use any other woman than Elizabeth Warren. Who I get, because I like her too. But This argument would be a hell of a lot more persuasive if people seemed to be aware that we have more…
