There was a mean girl tone to this piece, and it felt icky. 

Just because they’re rich doesn’t mean that exploiting their below-average intelligence is ok or serves any sort of purpose. This is the same thing the right tries to do with migrants coming here to escape economic and medical persecution.

You’ve described 2 conditions that someone could die within a day or two. The third condition is a mental illness. Not even close to the same thing.

“We’re all going to be scrambling for new hustles.”

My understanding from watching RHOBH is that Max has had his difficulties, and holding a job and performing well at it is a big (and great!) thing for him. Everybody is different.  It’s not Lisa being a bad parent.

B-b-b-but I like being angry at Amy Schumer! Aww, man...

I just want to point out that there was also literally an article just like an hour ago about how a food critic should have done the research to know the restaurateur he was writing about had committed domestic violence, yet their very next article was a story about how a clothing company doesn’t have plus size…

She already addressed this on IG yesterday and said they’ll be going up to size 40 very soon. Can we find something else to be enraged about?

I support sex workers. I don’t support “sex workers”. I was a phone sex operator. My job wasn’t a “job” and it didn’t include having either “oral sex” or “oral” sex. Sex work wasn’t, then or now, implied or legal consent to being sexually violated, having my privacy violated, or any other of my constitutional rights…

“A simple hat ban made by a bunch of white dudes 200 years ago is effectively preventing Omar from doing her job while exercising her faith.”

If you had done your research you might have found out why.

People who have sex with other people for money have the right to refuse to have sex with whoever they want. Nobody is obligated to have sex with gay men if they don’t want to. There’s nothing homophobic about performers having boundaries about who they want to perform with. This is basic common sense. 

It’s almost like gender and biological sex are two entirely different things or something.

Fine to disagree with her, but to call someone who wrote seven volumes of books on how to combat authoritarianism, a single working mother who became a billionaire and then used her money to tackle homelessness, promote education and family health to the tune of hundreds of millions of dollars (closing in on half a…

How about, she’s allowed her opinion and you’re allowed yours?  I'm so weary of the pressure that we must all march in lockstep together on he said, she said; we *always* have to believe the woman.  That conformity is dangerous.  And worse, concluding that Rowling is a garbage person because she disagrees with you? …

Capitalism has nothing to do with it.

I also feel like we’re in this odd place when it comes to female empowerment, because in north america it seems the dominant examples of “empowered” women are women who are themselves objectified, but they are okay with it/have leveraged financial gain from it.

I’m not a New Yorker, so my opinion may not count for much here, but I’ll repeat what I’ve said before: there is a disqualifying arrogance in believing that you can/should step into a job - ANY job - at a very high level with zero experience. With very few exceptions (acting comes to mind) I believe in paying your…

The media isn’t helping either; if I have to hear another question about the MTA I’m going to lose it. There are many progressive things that will be good for the entire state, but Jesus Christ, say more than “Upstate is terrible.”

I don’t get it.
