Soon-yi, the author of that NY Mag piece, and the author of this post all seem to rule out the possibility that Soon-Yi Previn IS actually stupid. I guess evidence counts for nothing these days.

It’s a date! Not until March though, that’s when I get back from my sojourn in the wilderness. Some friends of mine have a party space in Victoria, a short sail from Vancouver, and some OTHER friends of mine have a sailboat, and some OTHER friends of mine have a motorboat, so we could make a cruise of it.

You are hereby officially invited to my caftan party next March. Can you get to Vancouver, BC? We must drink cocktails together.

You know, closing doors is A Thing. 

Put tin foil on the counters. They HATE it.

I don’t know a single indoor/outdoor cat that is obese, but I’d say a good 30% of the indoor-only cats I know are obese. It’s all well and good not to want FooFoo to die in a coyote’s jaws, but is at a certain point obesity itself is a greater threat to his life.

What kind of desperation would drive you to risk all that prison time for just $2.5 million? That’s stupid.

I love teddy bear stuff. I’m going to buy myself a teddy bear bomber jacket even though as a fat girl it’s the LAST thing I need. Still, my legs are good, so there’s no way to know how fat I actually am in that thing.

Gwen Stefani, is that you?

Barrett’s Privateers, of course, was written by Rogers because he was pissed off the Maritimes didn’t have enough of its own sea shanties. It’s not actually ancient.

Yeah, but Zimmern is that friend we all have who, no matter what the context, will always try to “make it a party!!!” He’s a human labrador retriever. Bourdain was, at least publicly, more nuanced. Not everything is happy. Looking at, say, Vietnam as an American only through a happy, upbeat lens would be a failure. It…

Just a reminder that, whether or not they were consensual (and the women continue to insist they were not) the actions ascribed to Jian Ghomeshi are not legal in Canada, period. There is no such thing as “consent to be assaulted” in Canada, and my friends in the BDSM community are horrified to find that he’s trying to…

Oh man, remember the old days? This would have like 36 comments and half of them would come from within Conde Nast.

It’s surprising to me how much better Cynthia Nixon is at campaigning than Chelsea Manning. Her team is excellent, and whoever is managing them is excellent as well. I thought Manning would have had her pick of staffers and volunteers, but if she did, she picked poorly. 

All the top editors are leaving Conde, probably because their retirement packages are going to be reduced shortly. Despite corporate press releases, I wouldn’t be surprised if Anna Wintour walks shortly. Lots of opportunity for the middle-level, although if you don’t get promoted you’ll probably get laid off soon…

I bet she used the reader comments on that to fine-tune her real plan. I would. Uh, I mean NO COMMENT.

Does this world-beating author and lady-killer still literally live in his mother’s basement?

I bet he pronounces it “Jiff”.

I’ll bet him a hundred dollars he won’t walk into a pride of lions wearing a meat suit.
