Globally speaking, this movie really dropped at the most opportune possible time. There are so many different protest movements sweeping across the world right now (Lebanon, Chile, Bolivia...), most of which are driven by economic inequality. An“Eat the Rich” street art mural popped up on my Instagram today... taken…

The Fault in Our Stars brought me to literal TEARS on an airplane. I wouldn’t have even considered watching it on the ground.

Wow. That’s a little blatant for my taste. I prefer my sexism ambiguous at least, with that fun “is it or isn’t it?” dynamic. Seriously though, sorry that happened to you — I’d be so mad, watching my coworkers read that shit.

The only tangible difference to me between the two is Sanders’ more even-handed stance on Israel. And the fact that he was the only Democratic nominee who accepted the Islamic Society of North America’s invitation to speak at their annual conference. Those two things probably mean something to members of the squad.

I’m…

This is something I really make an effort to do — if somebody looks good, I tell them. If they used an interesting word in an email, I look up for my screen and let them know it was a cool word choice. If I’m thinking something positive about someone, I try to vocalize it. 

I’m genuinely surprised that Jezebel keeps coming for Bernie when there are at least 10 (probably more like 15?) Democrats who have less of a following and yet are still in the race. It’s looking less likely now, but I would still prefer Bernie as a candidate — his platform is almost identical to Elizabeth Warren’s,…

I generally find him to be an excellent interviewer (probably my favorite of the late night hosts), but I will admit I’ve only ever seen him interviewing people I like.

I see what you did there.

Two stories, both of which ended years-long friendships that I truly treasured (but, in retrospect, I haven’t actually missed).

Good for you.

YES. And why were the dancing to a song with the lyrics, “I want a mom who will last forever?” There’s no such thing, but thanks for prompting that realization, Rugrats. Absolutely brutal.

I’ve been anti-Ashton (and Mila) since I saw they both attending an IDF fundraiser. There’s political views, and then there’s literally fundraising for an army that is accused of war crimes every couple of years. 

This one is amazing. 

Is there a gender neutral replacement for “Dear Sir/Madam” when writing to an unknown person? I feel like I need to give it up, but I have always been told not to use “To Whom It May Concern.” Should I just make the switch anyway, in case I am writing to someone who is neither a Sir or a Madam? All ideas welcome.

You were a child, not a teacher. Grown ups are held to a different standard for the reason. 

Dude, no. Shrek came out in 2001. That is not nearly long enough ago for anyway to be able to claim ignorance on brownface.

Way too many people in this comments section willing to excuse this behavior for political reasons. We wouldn’t accept this shit from Taylor Swift or a rando SNL hire, but it’s fine for the PM of Canada? I’m not saying “vote for the other guys,” but come on. This is truly fucked up behavior. And it’s not like it was…

Wow, that was rough.

I mean, the qualms about it not winning the technical Emmy might be valid, but that Paul McCartney Carpool Karaoke episode brought me to tears. It was genuinely good TV. I really enjoyed Homecoming — sometimes I put it on again while I’m doing chores around the house — but I’m not surprised it’s not award-winning.

“The board being only four people, I realize now, made them almost like a mean girls clique.”
Not going to debate the other points you made, but I will say that this here is sexist tripe.
