Caveat: I am only a shade apprentice so I don’t think my opinion is definitative. That said, I think so. It’s the fact that you liked the picture that really makes it shade. It’s all cheerful and perky, so it’s got that all-important plausible deniability. But she knows what you meant.

Have you seen The Brothers Bloom? Rinko Kikuchi plays an explosives expert called Bang Bang, and she’s pretty cool. She’s maybe a tad stereotypical in that she doesn’t really talk (which seems to be a trope with Asian characters), but it’s more of a funny mime/silent film vibe than that dour, scary Asian you see so…

I do like how many of the models are shown barefoot, and I kind of dig the beaded shirt that Millie Bobby Brown is wearing, but yeah... this collection is not good. It’s bizarrely unwearable, with all its weird straps and unflattering boob cutouts and teeny bodices. It also totally lacks cohesion; the feathery dresses…

If I had $140 laying around for wine expenses, I’d probably just buy 23 bottles of Rex Goliath pinot noir and drink it out of a mug.

Honestly, I’ve always had some trouble connecting with her music... but at the same time, it’s just thunderingly obvious that she’s a genius and a visionary thinker. She makes sounds no one else does. People whining because she isn’t singing about some dude are just being douchebags.

This is literally my favorite thing I have read all week

I was pleasantly surprised that, despite the college’s failings, the cops seem to have handled this reasonably well. And then I was depressed that I was surprised.

I know this is a weird thing to focus on, but do you really “rip” something out of the water, anyway?

“Rudy the Big-Booty Reindeer” is a goddamn gift to humanity. Run free forever, Big Freedia.

I voted early, but I’m going to help people get to the polls.

Jezebel’s reporting on Standing Rock this month has been stellar, and I’m glad you’re out there in person. Stay warm.

Jill Stein has raised over 7.5 million dollars in private donations for the recounts. Most of the costs are coming out of that fund. It’s only “taxpayer money” in the sense that the people who voluntarily donated it are probably also taxpayers.

Yeah, maybe you are.

God, Coco Chanel was a monster. I don’t blame the current House of Chanel for that (and it’s owned by a Jewish family now, which I hope has her spinning in her grave like a dynamo), but I just cannot get behind any froofy quotes by or about her.

I think it was handled really well on Treme. Khandi Alexander’s character LaDonna is raped in season 2, and the whole storyline is very respectful. LaDonna gets a lot of screen time to process what happens, and, crucially, the rest of her life doesn’t stop happening because she was attacked. She’s traumatized, but…

I think Kimberly Pierce handled this responsibly in “Boys Don’t Cry”. The rape scene in that movie is really awful and violent, but she protected her actors as much as possible by making sure they knew exactly how the scene would go, and they talked it over together, as well. And Hillary Swank was able to convey the…

I am just a random person who has never studied political science and does not have relatives in Taiwan or China. And yet, I know about this thing. How does Trump not know about this thing? Like, at least for business reasons?

Shopping there is insanely stressful, because the staff ambush you constantly. The last time I was in a Victoria’s Secret, literally five or six employees got up in my face within 15 minutes about trying on the bra du jour, even though nothing there would fit me (I’m plus-size and was just there with a skinny friend).…

Yes! I’m in Louisiana, and I just signed up to phone bank, and donated as well. If we have 49 Democrats in the Senate, we only need two non-batshit Republicans (they still make those, right?) to stop a bill. Please donate if you can.

Jojoba oil is great--Whole Foods usually carries it, and it helps cracks heal. For everyday use I like any of the non-mint Burt’s Bees flavors.
