Esther should check her email, Peter’s campaign probably sent a message (subject line: “Shadow Inc Sees You Esther Wang!”) four minutes after this article went up, thanking her for the interest in the Mayor’s amazing success and declaring her name will be now listed among 400,000 other writers & artists who publicly en…

Not defending Dessen or her Twitter cohort, they behaved like a gang of crazed assholes, but she probably didn’t name Nelson in that because Nelson had already been doxxed. At this point naming her wouldn’t have even mattered, and it’s typical of Dessen’s unbelievably tone deaf attitude from the start that she didn't…

When it came to all the various ingredients which made this thing such a fiasco (online attack mobs, established & well earning authors vs student, older women vs younger, certain grudges and concerns within YA writing community, inflating the personal into political, writers vs criticism, race, gender, sheer vanity, e…

Fun article, though just reading about those meals makes me want to live on ice water and apples for a week. The English weren’t the only ones in the olden days gorging on unbelievably heavy meals plus gallons of alcohol. In 17th c. Germany, travelers’ tales and scenes from Grimmelshausen’s novels depict aristocratic…

Not a screed nor all that long, just relating personal experiences with boomers being as progressive as any other age group and also more politically active.

Interesting. I’m also a Gen Xer although my Boomer parents are liberals as are about 95% of the other boomer family members. When it came to the 2016 election they all made sure to vote, including knocking a gross Trumpite congressman out of his seat in a nasty election with the GOP guy spending tons on racially…

This is related to hospital pressures, but if someone is unsatisfied with their treatment and wishes to go elsewhere but the doctor says they will only discharge them “against medical advice,” it is not true that health insurance will then deny coverage for the current bill or future bills at another hospital for the…

Papa Trump might give him shit for that, except then Junior could come back strong asking why papa decided to give himself Grandma’s hairstyle. Everyone triggered, dinner ruined, dad grounding Junior for a month without the car or golf course, Junior storming out and a cursing Kimberly following him, only Melania…

If I’d said something about “peddling his ass to Zuckerberg and insurance lobbies” but just didn’t feel like typing at the time, would that have been a homophobic reference?

It’s like several years ago when the Labour candidate in the UK, Ed Miliband, tried to show the “common touch” by sitting down with a bacon sandwich. Except it backfired horribly cause he looked like he’d never seen a bacon sammich in his life, and was so nauseated and weirded out just trying to force the thing down…

It wasn’t a slur on sexuality, it’s about his greasy, open attempts to sell himself to the vested powers who can’t deal with Warren but know Biden is a bad candidate. With that fighting just to fight line about Warren, he not only jumped in on the usual “bitch on wheels” tactics but also pretty much announced “I’m…

Biden is upset that she burns him over and over again, and he can’t make it stop. And that Butteryplug guy is just feeling a little less-than because no matter how many “for sale” signs he plasters all over himself no one is buying. 

Headphones are a crutch. With time, wisdom, and age, wielding your antisocial skills in public won’t need any props or assistance. You simply do not respond to anybody beyond the most necessary communications required to accomplish your tasks.

I’d have passed by the deep state conspiracy dog whistle, and even the whining about the family being under assault, as just another shameless day at the office for these scum.

When I woke up with piece of shit Def Leppard song “Rock of Ages” in my head, I figured that was my subconscious spidey sense warning me “This day is fucked, my man, just try not to get arrested on felony charges or lose a limb.” But this asshole Peter Rabbit meme in all its beautiful glory has redeemed at least 50%…

The fucked up part is, you’re right. On the surface you shouldn’t be, but you are. Oh my God, motherfucker looks like Chucky! 

Don’t do this, Jezebel, don’t take join the Minshew cult. Deadspin started to fall for it too but wisely backed off. Have sex with him. Have lots of sex. Listen to his stories, like the time he and his buddies Lurve and Razzo secretly engineered the campus atrium into a massive open air bong. Help him pick out his…

Biden is doing such a good impression of that shameless old party hack Hubert Humphrey that he might as well steal the Hump’s miserable old campaign nickname, “The Happy Warrior.” It’s no more pathetic or morally bankrupt than fabricating Middle Class Joe.

I agree, I think he’s among the very best current directors (those final images in “Mother,” so haunting and redeeming at the same time, damn...) More people should watch his films, plus the fucked up search results when folks inevitably mess up his name and get bong combined with June and hoes will just be good clean…

Like when that shitheel Swampscott native Portnoy shut down his own comment section due to uncontrollable racism and all around assholism. Boston: where the worst aspects of San Francisco and Mississippi meet (and hate each other)
