Just because she’s not as bad as Trump (and she’s not) doesn’t mean Merkel isn’t awful — her cruel advocacy of austerity and neoliberalism bears much of the responsibility for Europe’s own right-wing/ultranationalist/xenophobic turn.

He told a joke at the beginning about pitching a fake movie to a producer at the Oscars about a super hero who got his strength from touching a woman’s vagina. But since the hero was not attractive he couldn’t convince women to let him touch them once, very gently so he had to resort to rape to get his strength to…

I will never forgive Bill Cosby for taking Bill Cosby from me.

How mature and brave of you. Does your arm get tired from patting yourself on the back for such heroism? I deplore the president but his saying “give him a chance” is not an admission of support. By no means deplorable enough to never listen to a historically great comic again.

I watched Spin last night, and Rich is leaving out a key part of the Cosby commentary - that being it was a callback to a joke done earlier in the show concerning a superhero who resorts to rape to maximize his “powers,” setting up a moral conundrum of “he rapes, but he saves lives.”

This wasn’t Andrew Dice Clay…

Let’s just remember that he has a valuable legacy that I can’t just throw away. I remember that he’s the first black man to ever win an Emmy in television. I also remember that he’s the first guy to make a cartoon with black characters where their lips and noses were drawn proportionately. I remember that he had a…

**TL;DR, Dave isn’t that important. Ain’t nobody got time for that.**

It’s hard to find more than a few images of her from her modeling days, so I think she was more a working model than a big deal. Still, from the few photos you can find, it’s clear she had way more modeling talent and camera presence than either of her daughters. I think with Yolanda it may have been a case of…

Wendi Deng might be an actual super-villain.

RemyMa slaughtered niki on shEther. Niki can eat a bag of dirty dicks.

BUT WERE THEY CHAPERONED?! In a loud club, it seems like this isn’t an unnatural posture when leaning in to talk to people. Hell, I was sober at a gig last night, and I spent most of it with my arm round my guy friends.

Eh I don’t think Kate has anything to worry about there (or at least no more to worry about than any half of a monogamous couple, especially one dealing with the pressure of being in the public eye). Charles may have been a cheater, but I always thought it spoke volumes about him that he had the same mistress for so…

She used to dye her hair lilac and sit in the front row at Marc Jacobs. She was like 13 at the time, and I mainly remember thinking, Why is she trying to look like her own grandmother? That was the moment fashion shows stopped caring about actual professionals in their front rows in favor of children and Kardashians.

That right there is a good partnership. Taxi service for a drunk spouse is one of the things that makes for good morning after conversation.

Same. My husband came in last night slurring because he had gone with one of his besties to a gay bar (we are gay men.) He went with my blessing. An evening with no TV blaring and no sudden home improvement inspirations is a rare treat indeed. And if we can’t trust each other after all these many years we might as…

Agreed. She probably laughed her ass off and was like come on now, Will, I told you to take it easy on the wine coolers.

You poor sap. Saying you have never been creatively influenced is like admitting you shop at Sears and live in the Midwest. You should fill your Crocs with cement and float to the bottom of your sub division pond. Nice try user name.

Tavi Gevinson is one of the biggest cultural dissapointments. Especially in this ripe new political environment. I loved all her writing and have followed her from the very beginning. She had intellectual vigor, character, and societal insight like no other.
