Despite having one of the weaker shows of the bunch, I actually really enjoy Trevor Noah’s interviews. You can always tell that he has done his homework and is consequently able to really get good, detailed answers from his guests. His interview with Chimamanda Ngozi Adiche is like this sweet little primer on…

I was obsessed with Babes in Toyland - the Drew Barrymore and Keanu Reeves version. It’s actually hilarious to rewatch as an adult, but I still feel guilty about putting my mom through that shitshow so many times.

Very interesting piece. I still remember the first time I heard a woman read Quran with proper “tajweed” at a women-only religion class. I hadn’t realized that had been something I was missing until I heard it. I love being Muslim, I love our faith, but I have real issues with the way women are often sidelined in the…

It reminds me of one of my favorite excerpts from “The Girl in the Tangerine Scarf” (which I can’t find online, so I will paraphrase poorly from memory). A group is praying in the mosque and some children enter and start being silly. Some of the worshipers smile, others focus on God, but some manage to do both.

The best part for me... was Nick Jonas. So, yeah, not a cinematic masterpiece.

Came here to say the same thing. The whole film hinges on a stupid trick — no real theme, no lessons learned, and no characters to root for. Waste of a kind of interesting idea.

“It’s called an occupation by majority Muslim nations” 

Haven’t seen this yet (so I didn’t read much of the chat transcript), but I am so, so happy and unreasonably proud to see Bo Burnham go from silly YouTube comedian, to brutally and sometimes painfully honest comedian, to successful director. I am inclined to hate on “YouTube stars” just because, but Bo was one of the…

It is, by definition, an occupation. That’s what the UN calls it. That’s what everyone in the entire world (outside of Israel and DC, I guess) calls it. She didn’t even use the word “illegal,” which would have been accurate, according to the ENTIRE international community.

And Man Down??

I know this sounds dumb, but what has worked for me is to put an ice cube on the area as soon as I feel those telltale tingles on my lip. I’ll do it about 20 minutes, cover the area in Lysine, and then ice it again once the Lysine has absorbed. If you catch it fast enough, the sore never even really appears.…

“Rupert the Kitty Cat, you were named after two fictional badasses. One of them was a ginger and he was probably the bravest man I ever knew...”

Isla Fisher is my trashy comedy queen (re Wedding Crashers and Bachelorette), but Amy Adams in Enchanted (and then Arrival!) has my heart.

“Putin’s literally killing innocents with WMDs on our soil”

Totally forgot he was in that!

The Notebook came out during a streak of movies in which gorgeous, lovable James Marsden is continuously left for another (arguably less worthy) dude.

Dejected ding ding ding.

Ok, now I’m panicking. Jezebel better survive this.

They’ve spent years baselessly accusing Obama of being an affirmative action admit to Harvard — as though that would have been a bad thing, and not evidence that affirmative action was working! How awesome would it be if affirmative action was the reason a black man got the education he deserved and the personal…

Sending some positive editor vibes your way. If we couldn’t always feel your impact on a story, that means you were doing it right. Best of luck <3
