I'm no fan of Palin, but certainly the commentators of a seemingly feminist news/gossip source can understand that attacking this woman based on her appearance is pretty lame? I'm all for comparing her to a drunk aunt because of the stupid shit she says, but no female public figure needs to answer for their…

1. She isn't a Kardashian.

Jezebel has been exceptionally catty lately.

I'm happy for Kendall. Putting aside the fact that already being famous means she won't have to deal with all the gross casting cast stuff that many young teen models have to in order to get their big break, Kendall is actually a really good model. She's gorgeous and modelesque and absolutely has the body for it. If…

Is there any color in the world that Lupita can't wear and look fabulous in?

This is a huge problem we're having currently in New Orleans, as well - anything from gentrifying neighborhoods after the storm to hyper strict music ordinances for street musicians, and luckily enough people are pissed and fighting about it here that I'm hoping they'll be repealed (they took a brass band and a second…

Or you could head on back to West Bubblefuck where there is plenty of quiet to go around instead of imposing the same suburban standards onto a neighborhood in the noisy city where folks have been living for decades before you were even born?

Oh, you are so new. If you honestly think that the Black/Latin people who have been living in those neighborhoods for decades never complained to their aldermens and other district/city officials about the shitty conditions, then I have a lovely bridge to sell you. It connects Brooklyn to Manhattan and is quite…

But that has nothing to do with what he's saying. There's this type of gentrification going on in the city that I live in. There's just this sort of thing happening with a very popular music venue in a gentrifying neighbourhood. The place has been having shows and concerts for over 20 years. When they first moved…

No, that's not the kind of noise complaint that most people mean. In Brooklyn, there have always been outdoor events - concerts, dance parties, etc. - in places like Fort Greene Park. Gentrification means that the new people who move in decide that those events are too noisy, and attract crowds that are too large…

I had no idea so many people here hated Spike Lee. Weird.

I don't know. I mean noise bothers me just as much as the next person, but there are people who move into these neighbors for the "culture" and then get pissy when the culture does what it's been doing for the last 100 years. Like, yeah, loud music at all hours of the night annoys the crap out of me, which is why I…

Spike Lee is definitely problematic, but I'm kind of on board with what he's saying here. When we moved into our apartment in Flatbush, we were definitely the first wave of gentrification. We were the youngest people in our building and we paid the highest rent. We respected the other tenants who had been there…

Ah. I obviously purchased the album the minute it dropped so I assumed everyone had been living in Beyland with me.

You're thinking of Michael Cera.

What I got from this video is that I really need to work on my core.

I really like this song, especially when the beat picks up. If there was ever a time for overt, in your face sexuality, it's here. I just hope her next video does something different, because it can become fatiguing.

Why are we acting like this is new? The video was out when the album was out.

Whatever. Love it. Sorry not sorry.

Well, they take up your nutrients and deplete your calcium. I'm always freaked out by that. A baby basically gets it's bones by taking away the mother's bones. A woman has something like 10% less bone density after pregnancy. *Shudder* Yeah I'm not doing that. Ever.
