I only have a vague recollection of watching The Notebook once, as a counselor on a bus with a bunch of high school kids on a summer program field trip only half paying attention and thinking it was ridiculous .... but I cannnnnoottttttt with scenes like that and especially with that being the start of their…

Disappointed, but not surprised, that “Eighth Grade” got overlooked for Best Original Screenplay. My sisters and I agreed that that was some of the best writing about early teenage girlhood we had seen in recent years. The next question is whether “The Favourite” will win any of the big awards. I feel like the Academy…

While “I love you alive” is definitely an odd thing to say, i think ALL sexts in just plain written form are going to be cringeworthy. Whenever you read someone elses sexts its the least sexy thing on the planet, but when you’re alone at night, tipsy, horny, and giddy with anticipation suddenly those sexts are…

It is mind boggling to me how sites like TMZ make fun of people like Lindsey Lohan for clinging to their fame years after they were relevant and then also make fun of people who say “I tried, it wasn’t working the way I wanted it to so now I’m doing something else.” like Dunkelman and the guy from Cosby Show who was…

Most of the comments on this are fucking terrible. Misogynoir is so fucking real 

Election Night Cocktail

Hi, friends! I’m in NY-19, where we’re trying to unseat the awful John Faso (you may remember him as the dick whose vote brought the Obamacare repeal bill out of committee, after promising a constituent with a brain tumor that he wouldn’t vote to take away her healthcare). The volunteers for his challenger, Antonio…

Having voted early I kinda miss actually voting on Election Day. There weren’t really any lines the day I went (about two weeks ago), got in quickly, got out fasts. I only drove past one polling place today and it didn’t look too busy, but then again it was in a really politically active neighborhood in Boston and…

Writing in Cynthia Nixon for Governor of NY just to spite Cuomo. ¯\_(ツ)_/¯

What about if one lead is Black and the other white? Something New, starring Sanaa Lathan and Simon Baker, is really good and features the Black upper class! (Also, Simon Baker. Yum.)

Sounds like she wasn’t having a Super Fun Night. She needs a better PR team because her tweets were less than Pitch Perfect. I have no more puns because those are the only things I know she was in.

Some people take it as a personal insult, as if the idea of deigning to talk to a stranger is worse than death itself.

I really like Jenny Slate.

Albert - I have gotten a lot of joy out of your work on this site. Your HitchBot takedown is to this day one of my favorite things I have ever read on the Internet, and your writing is a big part of how I got to be a passionate NBA fan. This piece is all true, and good, and like all of your work, well-written.

FWIW Popeye’s apple pies are very close to the old McD’s fried ones if you’re looking for a trip down nostalgia lane. 

Fun fact: John Tyler, the 10th President of the United States, has two living grandchildren because both he and his son fathered children in their late 60s/early 70s.

I just knew that the Issa + Nanceford connection was too good to last before something like Lawrence with the ex-dar would interfere.

Jesus Fucking Christ. All these people on the left falling all over each other in the name of purity can go fuck themselves. I’m so beyond sick of this. 

“he was a decent elected official.”
