THAT IS BECAUSE ROB CLAIBORNE IS A GODDAMN PROFESSIONAL

Oh, my god, Sarah Haines is the WORST. She is easily the most annoying member of GMA’s current cast of thousands, particularly during her banter with Dan Harris on GMA Weekend, which all comes down to “Tee-hee, I’m Sarah, the wacky Millennial social media addict with no attention span!” Girl, you are thirty-eight.

This is not a character I remembered even though I watched Hairspray maybe five hundred times as a kid.

Well, you have a point there. It is an outrageous story (hence my initial response to it), and it does seem logical that if someone goes through all the trouble of having children, she would be disinclined to let them guzzle leftover booze. Kids drinking things they shouldn’t without a mother knowing is one thing;…

So your mentor is some sad, regretful, childless woman over 40, and from that you extrapolate that “being 40 with no kids is absolutely AWFUL”? Are YOU over 40 without children? Because if you are not, kindly shut the fuck up.

Are you actually childless and over 40 yourself, or are you making shit up based on “several” miserable women you know?

Hey, I’m not talking about “shit happening” like you turning on the TV for the kids while dozing through a raging hangover. Nothing wrong with that at all. Also French cartoons are a fun choice.

That is pathetic.

You know, I’m totally OK with judging someone who lets her toddlers drink leftover party alcohol because she’s too hungover herself to deal. And I have no kids and none on the way. I get that motherhood is hard, but is it THAT hard to get your ass up to keep your children from getting poisoned?

hold up— they’re doing this to give all the ladies out there a chance to go full douche-Ghostbusters on this, right? Because MADISON WAS MY HERO* and YOU HAVE RUINED MY CHILDHOOD**

I honestly don’t understand what makes this video any less lame than Iggy Azalea’s “Fancy.” People, get your own ideas, please.

hey, thanks!

I lifted “outdoor sexual politics” from Dina Litovsky, the photographer here, in the last paragraph of the interview!

Hey, that’s why I said maybe another day! It’s a huge subject and there’s only so much space and time to cover even one aspect of it. And Litovsky’s photos are wonderful — they would be amazingly exhibited alongside Brian Rose’s photos of the meatpacking in 1985 vs. 2013.

Look at what happened to the East Village!

I’m another New Yorker who is not bothered by tourists, but lord do I hate crowds, and when the High Line is crowded it is unbearable.

It is the fucking worst. I avoid it even in the daytime. And the only time I will visit the High Line is on a weekday morning before 9 a.m.

Well yes, you briefly mentioned it in sentence 2 (and I admittedly only said “mention” myself), but to be perfectly clear, I meant that it seems odd not to discuss the wholesale displacement of a group of people associated with a very specific type of nightlife. Maybe another day.

yes the Meatpacking District is as sexually charged now as it once was, despite being less gritty, but it’s not just the grittiness that has disappeared — it’s the gay and transgender culture. We are looking at pictures of heterosexual “outdoor sexual politics” in a place that was once entirely for gay, lesbian, and…

Feel free to look at my dog, and even to pet her (IF, and only if, you ask first).
