So well deserved! I'm so happy for her. The show is fucking weird as hell and has no business actually working but it totally does.

This is literally my favorite NY celeb story of all time.

One of my former editors was (is?) good friends with Dr. Zizmor.

I do not like this trend of making rapists the subject of social media shaming instead of treating them like the real criminals they are. I know feel empowered sharing their stories, but somehow, it perpetuates the idea that rape is somehow a different kind of crime. If someone robbed your house, it would not be…

The whole season I really thought they were setting During up for some nefarious plot or doublecross or terrorism or something. He seemed pretty sketchy. I was quite surprised his big twist was a marriage proposal.

I’ve also thought the same thing. I hope that isn’t the case, BUT it’s entirely possible. Either way, I’d be ok with seeing more of him.

• Carrie and her daughter move to Spain, where they buy a run-down bungalow and renovate it with the help of friendly locals.

Were there people who actually thought Monica and Brandy had a real life feud and were like, “Alright bitch, we’re going to settle this RIGHT! With a professionally choreographed music video and a hit song collaboration! I hate you but I will spend days working with you on this so we can finally figure out who…

I thought that the fact that I can’t eat anything spicy after 8pm unless I want to be up all night with heartburn made me old. I was wrong. The fact that “This Boy is Mine” is almost 20 years old, makes me old.

My cousin was on House Hunters this season (you guys probably all hated her, she bought a really nice condo in Chicago).While I know the formula I dont’ think it ruined it for me at all! I still like seeing the housing options and what they like and don’t like about them. I still like tweeting about how god-awful the…

So agreed. Normally, weird/tacky. But from someone insanely wealthy? Reeeeally not nice, on the receiving end anyways.

I feel like lottery tickets are a shitty Christmas gift under any circumstances, but for a big shot to give scratch off tix to the crew seems like such a bummer, gift-wise.

It’s more of a commentary on the narcissism of many who post on Instagram. Very few great artists use(d) themselves as the sole subject of their work. Instagram promotes exhibitionism at the expense of intimacy: how many special moments are now paused so that someone can get a pic to post of it? Sorry, the thesis of…

This is a bit of a stretch - Instagram is shallow and bringing up Nabokov seems a little much - but I see your point.

I really don’t see much room for commentary on women’s success here, though, accidental or otherwise. It’s more about how social media and presenting an idealized image of our lives has become so all-consuming.

I totally believe this, but I feel like they picked terrible example names, as Meredith is a woman’s name and Rasheed is a man’s name. I would completely believe that many Air B&B hosts, like couchsurfing hosts, prefer to host women. I’m assuming the study controlled for this, but I do wish they had either chosen two…

Yes. And an O’Brien is 75% more likely to drink all your booze.

Hopeful guests with stereotypically white names—like “Meredith O’Brien,” which was a name used in the study—garnered positive responses 50 percent of the time. Guests with black names—like “Rasheed Jackson,” also used—received positive responses at a rate of 42 percent.

And you read a LOT of reviews. If you have a choice between a well-reviewed host that cost more, and saving $20 a night by going with someone that has just 2 or 3 reviews, Go with the more expensive one.

I think a better rule of thumb is not to sexually assault people, but I come from the feminist utopia in the year 20156, soooo.
