NOT using hyperbole when I say: The last time I watched tv with my *jaw dropped* was during 9/11... My husband came home about halfway through and I kept shouting, “This can not be real. This canmt be real!”

Not that I’m popular around here but I’ve noticed my comments seeming to disappear without any sort of interaction as of late. I was greyed several years ago and, despite posting daily, have yet to claw my way out of purgatory. Could the new buyers of Gawker be trying to squeegee its image and scrape away the bugs on

Yuh know what I did in my high school years? Hid in the art room during lunch hour and skipped pep rallies to duck into the theater auditorium and sat in the back of the class... all in an effort to avoid the asshole behavior these men are accused of. The “men” in the senate and judiciary saying shit like “we can’t

I don’t just dislike the original, but actively hate it. I’ve seen it twice (second time with a friend who didn’t think it could be as bad as I said it was... next time you come across a girl named Carrie in San Francisco, ask for her opinion of the original Suspiria. You’ll either get a blank stare or a hilarious

How such handsome men always manage to look so pained is beyond me... they both look like they’re trying to smile while covertly attempting to fart.

I’ve always understood that there is no “bottom” for republicans in terms of how far they’ll sink, but this entire debacle... Children in cages? Acceptable. The president and his team openly, flagrantly colluding with a hostile foreign power to nab the most powerful office in the world? NOTHING TO SEE HERE! And now

Daddy Donny and Baby Don epitomize the tragicomedy that is stupid, unwitty people trying to sound smart and sharp. Plastic spoons in a knife fight, every last damned one of them, and yet they’re the smuggest, most self-superior sort of people. I think that’s what infuriates me about this presidency the most: The

Just marathoned my way through Making It (the Amy Poehler/Nick Offerman crafty competititon show) and it was an absolute delight. I smiled like a fool through every episode, which I hadn’t realized how much I needed.... genuinely the first American tv show that plays like The Great British Baking Show: it’s uplifting

Hot take: neither one is particularly hot. Stop trying to make fetch happen, hgtv.

It’s a damned shame he’s rich enough to be able to avoid the early death he (his lifestyle, diet, personality) so richly deserves. I wish I were able to cut the edges off that statement with humor, but I can’t anymore. I just want him dead and out of our collective lives.* The world would inarguably be better for it.

It’s as if you think you’re making an intellectual point, high off the fumes of inhaling you’re own farts.

I simply don’t understand the shame in paid sex. If someone wants to buy what could be given away for free, who is being harmed? And before you launch into infantalizing women by saying they’re all sex slaves, just... no. Stop. Certainly, CERTAINLY, forced sex trafficking is a horrendous industry that hurst countless

Shitting on a job at Trader Joe’s is an epic case of classicism. To us lowly small business owners and everyday workers, TJ’s pays very well, has a fantastic record for employee satisfaction, and it offers some of the most complete employee healthcare packages with a focuse on ethical business practices..... soooo,

I just joined the gay men’s chorus in my city and, hooboy, am I already learning the value of protecting vocal cords. I’m having to skip out first concert tonight because my voice has almost completely left me... I’m a very soft-spoken person, so this having to sing with volume and vigor is a gigantic learning curve

Anyone seen the republican reaponse to the Cohen plead and Manafort convictions? They couldn’t care less... they’re treating this as all a symptom of Trump hysteria. Congrats, everyone, those of us willing to acknowledge reality are now being treated like women going through their period/menopause back in the day by

Oh I’m not a big fan of hers, my husband is, so I’ve been subjected to a lot of Nicki. I say she’s smart as in she can be clever and, at least in the couple interviews I’ve seen, she doesn’t *sound* like a stupid person... and I don’t think she has the greatest flow but her delivery can be fun, so, meh. I guess that’s

Nicki is fun and yuh can’t argue that she doesn’t have serious talent but she ruins it all by engaging in such utterly childish public spats. She’s smart as hell and old enough to know better than to engage like a high schooler, but she goes all in on these petty spats with other celebs that almost always seem like

It’s an A24 film, so it’ll be gorgeously shot, none of the characters will be likeable, and the last shot of the movie will be the last living dancer emerging from the apartment after the mass suicide dance party to find that the apocalypse has arrived in silent, technicolor splendor. *Adore* the studio, but 90% of

15 seasons.... 15+ years of the Karbdashians soaking up money like surgically enhanced sponges.... and to think I had the nerve to be shocked Trump was elected president when the writing has been on the wall for *checks watch* a decade and a half. *sighs so deeply he deflates and falls through cracks in the floor*

Look at 2018, just letting it all hang out in that bikini. Bitch thinks she’s hot, that she’s The Shit. And the worst part? Becky IS... she’s hot, sultry, sweaty, and unapologetic about it. 2018 is the Kim K to 2016’s Miley Cyrus. 2018 is the Beyoncé to 2017’s Kelis. 2018 is the “Cash me ousside” to 2015’s “I’d like
