I actually looked for horrible racist shit on twitter, bc it’s always there, but I didn’t see much. I’m sure it’ll happen, but I wonder if A Wrinkle in Time is maybe less popular amongst the kind of people who spew racist stuff online than more modern YA favorites.

Michelle Obama hasn’t talked about this yet, so Melania’s reaction is pending.

No. She is the worst. It’s one thing to be a flaming racist narcissist; that’s a condition that requires self-awareness to correct, and if there’s one thing a narcissist doesn’t have, it’s that. So, Donald is evil, but I expect nothing more from him.

I read it and thought Michelle sounded annoying. Then remembered that it reminded me of me. Then I remembered that I am annoying. She is one of those people that I understand why people find them unpleasant, but I can also relate to them being an uptight try-hard (see also: Anne Hathaway).

You can buy them on Amazon: I now own two seasons. Merry Christmas and Happy Chanukah to ME.

i like it, succinct. you didnt feel the need to pad your statement at all.

She sure does have a talent for the caustic. It works in a lot of respects- the protagonist of We Need to Talk About Kevin would not have been nearly so effective if she hadn’t been so inherently brittle and jaded.

I go to Bowdoin and I work on the student newspaper, and I’m honestly so fucking tired of journalists like Lionel Shriver completely mis-reporting the facts of the tequila party.

They make six-figures on paper, and overtime/bonus can nearly triple that number by the time a year is done.

You really don’t deserve your username.

A little side eye? Man, I'm in danger of looking at the inside of my skull permanently due to all the side eye I'm dishing out lately.

Must be nice to say “no” and have the person actually stop

But Parker himself didn’t say stop so, by his own logic, not only should the journalist kept going, he should have invited two other journalists into the room to keep asking the same question.

The phenomenon of lowered expectations.

Tallest building, shortest thumbs, smallest heart.

Living in Texas, 79 degrees and humid is probably spring like to you, where the temps routinely are higher. Most people who are not acclimated to 100+ weather might just get faint wearing a full suit and kevlar for an hour and a half...especially at an emotional ceremony where you are remembering friends killed on

When I read it, I thought, “Like Kim picks out her own clothes.” But then I remembered that Kanye does, which made it EVEN BETTER. It’s like Telephone Shade.
