I have a somewhat different take on Frida. I agree with the criticism of the commercialization of art and artists but at the same time it’s not just happening to Frida.

Kahlo’s own work often focuses on her appearance, and on her body-as-art. I’m not convinced this is an out-of-line interpretation. This is also a Very [contemporary] Brooklyn take, and I kind of like it when exhibitions reflect their surroundings. That said, I wasn’t interested in seeing this one after the basking in…

How does this affect her? If and when Ivanka wants pink Champagne, it’s Champagne. Domestic sparkling rose isn’t even on her radar. 

Hmm I’m guessing Anna Wintour means she receives them before sunrise. I get a lot of e-mails from my colleagues before sunrise but that’s because they, like Meghan Markle, are in the UK, and I, like Anna Wintour, am on the East Coast of the US. My colleagues are aware that while I am often up before sunrise (thanks…

Long shot bet: They get married. It’s tough. Have a couple kids, but only once her career starts to wind down. They have their troubles. Scooter Braun calls an emergency meeting. I’m not guaranteeing either will be faithful. But they do the couples counseling and he maybe ends up in rehab a couple more times. Justin…

I think part of the problem is the assumption that he must be abusive if he is Conservative Christian. It not necessarily so. My cousin is s Trump supporting Christian who is also a solid stay at home PTA dad whose wife is in charge of the charity wing of a bank.

In a world full of douchebags and abusers, I just can’t summon the hate for Chris Pratt that some of y’all have cultivated. So he loves Jesus, who fucking cares?  He’s not hurting anyone, so really.  Let it be.

Well, and logical best courses of action aren’t always logical.

it ignores the reality of logistics and funding.

Has Jezebel noticed the several, even many, other women newly elected to congress or nah? Because this is getting a little Kardashian. 

THANK YOU. This exactly. It’s actually a little distressing that we are so obsessed with putting AOC up on a pedestal, from which she will of course fall when she inevitably doesn’t live up to Perfecting Everything Immediately. This is some pretty mild criticism from colleagues she needs on her side, and we’re already…

One of the big disappointments in the US system, for me, is this unrelenting need to find the next big hero who is going to fix everything. The It Girl or Boy of the moment who says all the right things and there’s a collective swoon - and the same is true of the Villain of the Moment. To watch it occur, over and over…

I’m sure I’ll get flamed for not fangirling, but WaPo has a good Op ed detailing why folks are not having AOC yet.

Don’t mistake annoyance for fear.

I really like AOC’s policies, but the response of her colleagues seems pretty human; haven’t most of us been annoyed at a new coworker who shows up with grand ideas (that are potentially great and wonderful!) and starts pushing for them without even getting a sense of how those ideas might have failed in the past, or…

The key issue I have with The Wing is there is not a access to this for lower income women. Which disproportionately excludes women of color, lesbians and trans folks (across gender spectrum). Until something goes into effect to make it more inclusive; The Wing can go fuck itself. It’s on par with Ivanka Trump in my…

I look at the two garbage humans who birthed her and think, “That’s the DNA she’s made out of.”

She did work to pass a number of laws and agency reforms, some of which did indeed have bipartisan support. These things aren’t that hard to find if you want to look for yourself, but I don’t think you really care to.

McCaskill should leave with more dignity.

Why is AOC the shiny new thing?  She has a bunch of ideas, but she doesn’t seem to have and real idea of how to implement them.  A decade in the Senate with Bernie has probably given McCaskill respect for people who do rather than talk.
