Agree with the rest of the comments. I see no reason to get cranky about a people sharing positive images of breastfeeding. If they criticize women who can’t, that’s another matter, but there’s no suggestion of that here. And trying to parse levels of positivity seems like a losing battle to me. You might be worried…

Belated thanks!

This is helpful. Also, this line was extremely accurate: “a battle-scarred, hardened carapace the texture and color of a beloved baseball glove.” Once I was at an appointment with a new OB-GYN, discussing questions about getting pregnant via a donor. Within the space of maybe ten minutes, the doctor: 1) implied that…

This is SO tepid: “While I won’t condemn those that made these hard calls . . . [w]ith the benefit of hindsight . . . the enhanced interrogation program is not one the CIA should have undertaken.” No. This is complete crap. The international community had agreed for years that torture was unacceptable and would, guess…

“In subsequent tweets, she eluded to mental health issues and has apologized to Uber.”

I’ve been reading the Post articles pretty religiously in Isabella’s case, as he’s a big deal in DC. He also seems a complete and utter piece of shit. The most telling examples to me in this latest article were the accounts of two wine buyers on a trip to Spain with him, since they were never his employees and so…

Yes! I was like, have they invented a totally new material for kinkwear since the last time I was at a kink party 4 whole years ago? Because it’s not a thing.

+1000. Thanks, you put it better than I did.

So I spent the better part of a decade doing very kinky things in a pretty kinky scene of people, and these kinds of articles are always really sad. I’m glad that it mostly (I only skimmed it, because Jesus it was long and not terribly interesting) didn’t kink-shame, so I guess that’s something. But why have an…

It’s not just you. Fully agree.

Right. And you can tweet while you’re on the phone with everyone in the government trying to fix the problem, as he said he was trying to do, whereas you can’t grant an interview while multitasking.

This headline really kinda bites. “First” to me implies there will be subsequent children, which is nobody’s dang business. Why wouldn’t you just say “Mindy Kaling gave birth to a daughter named Katherine”?

“I do not mean to disparage Ruggere’s compassion or mock her attempt to help a feline condiment fiend, but how do you let a cat with a jar on its head get away once the jar is in your hand? Seems like as a human without a jar on your head, you have a huge advantage over the cat whose entire world has been supplanted…

Thanks for the correction. I read this article in the Times about other problem members—Cosby, Polanski, and Gibson—and obviously mentally inserted Allen into the list.

1. Woody Allen is an absolute pig fuck, as is Harvey Weinstein.

Louise Linton’s next interview for Town and Country: “We were deciding what to do with our tax return last spring and I got creative. I said, ‘Steve, let’s get some diamonds from Neptune and solder them onto a Birkin bag made of pure platinum.’ It makes me think of Paris, Serge Gainsbourg, Gitanes, and that perfect…

But Germany is a different country with very different laws. For instance, Germany doesn’t let citizens carry assault rifles in the streets. And I never suggested staying silent—I think the best thing to do is speak out at another time and location.

“What’s most obnoxious about this clip is how Fey is encouraging people to actively ignore neo-Nazis, by characterizing the protests as “violent” and urging those who might otherwise be encouraged to physically show up to stay at home.”

This makes me feel extra bad about when my husband and I yell at each other (usually over who is going to clean the dishes) and the cats run and hide. :(

Tobias Menzies is so dishy and such a powerful actor. I’m so conflicted though watching him in this role and I don’t know if I’m attracted to him more BECAUSE he plays a creep (or two?) or despite it. Confusion.
