I don't care how Kim identifies, but Caucasian doesn't necessarily mean white American. There are a great number of people from the Caucasus who are definitely not white-passing. The word "Caucasian" shouldn't even be used as a synonym for white; that usage is based on an outdated eugenics theory.

So when Kim Kardashian writes (or "writes," more likely) a lackluster, college-freshman-level essay about racism, it's super lame and great to make fun of, but when Beyonce writes (or "writes") a lackluster, college-freshman-level essay about the wage gap, it's the second coming? I will never understand this site's…

There actually are more teen paparazzi than you'd think. I got really into this idea and started developing a YA book based on the concept a couple years ago and I did a lot of research - there's a documentary about one kid that is really interesting.

"Hipster" is essentially a meaningless word. Ten years ago it had some sort of cohesive cultural meaning, but nowadays it basically just means "Somebody who likes something I don't like." I know plenty of people who act assholishly superior about their aesthetic tastes and consumptive habits, but those types of people…

Nah, they just use clips from other interviews. Like, if you look at the "this week on Fallon" commercials, most of the clips are from Late Night instead of Tonight - the set is totally different. It's super uncommon to tape an interview ahead of time, almost everything is done day-of.

Person who used to work in late night here! This kind of thing is usually only reserved for huge stars whose schedules can't accommodate the booking dates we give them. They tape the interview ahead of schedule, but everything else is done day-of, so the monologue, etc. will all be topical. It's pretty rare, though.

More than any of her peers, it would actually be believable. She hasn't had any DUIs like Bieber, no mysterious trips to rehab out of "exhaustion" like Selena or Demi, no Skid Row scuffles like Zefron, and her schedule is probably packed, but we never seem to hear stories about her showing up hours late to shows and…

I'm always so skeptical of people who try to call out plastic surgery by using a before photo that was taken when the subject was still a kid or teenager. Your features do change and settle as you get older (and for the women, it's common to gain a cup size or two between the ages of 18 and 22), and often what looks…

Did you also lose your internet connection when Jezebel lost its shit over Miley showing off her labia for Terry Richardson? Pretty sure she still qualifies as a white girl.

It's all just anthropologically fascinating to me, as I'm a Russian immigrant who grew up in a trailer park.

Yeah, exactly. As an art and design geek, there is a lot of good stuff to be found - I have really specific boards for stuff like retrofuturism, Christmas-season advertisements from the 40s/50s/60s, industrial design, really cool libraries, etc - but there's also SO much crap. I always end up closing all my tabs in an…

It's not so much Old Fashioned WASP-y as it is Aspirational Southern Housewife-y. It celebrates new money and gratuitous displays of wealth. My boyfriend is the archetypal nice WASP from Cape Cod and his entire family (pretty much your standard Kennedy Democrats with a sailboat/tennis court/purebred hunting dogs they…

Found on Pinterest. This is about as racy as it gets. (Also, EWWWWWWW WHY WOULD YOU PUT THIS ON YOUR *INFANT*.)

God, yes. And as someone whose family always used mason jars for drinking glasses BECAUSE WE WERE POOR AND COULDN'T AFFORD ACTUAL GLASSWARE, I can't help laughing at these poor suckers who are paying $5 apiece for "designer" mason jars.

They've basically ruined riding boots for me. I live in NYC and never see most of the fashion trends that are super popular on Pinterest - the userbase also seems to lean very suburban/rural/collegiate - but I have two beautiful pairs of Fryes that I've owned for a few years, and every time I put them on, a little…

That makes perfect sense. I use Pinterest to catalog recipes and interior design concepts that catch my eye, but the rest of it is terrible. Everyone is white and blonde and obsessed with weddings, babies, losing weight, 30-day squat challenges, outfits that always manage to combine chevron print/riding boots/mint and…

Ugh. I have zero interest in debating my makeup choices with anyone, male or female. I'm lucky enough to have pretty good skin (after finally figuring out a skincare routine that works for me), but I also have translucent eyebrows and features that just look sad and blobby unless I define them with makeup. I COULD…

Ugh, I'm okay with this. Ferguson is like the Community of late night hosts: the people who like him NEVER stop talking about how brilliant and hilarious he is and if you don't get it you must not be smart enough and I'm over here just wondering how the hell I'm missing the appeal. I like him as an interviewer well…

This is a great comment and I wish I could recommend it multiple times.

Gabe 4 Lyfe. He's the only watchable part of that Silicon Valley show on HBO now.
