You know what’s more terrifying? That he probably wasn’t planning to kill her, he just thought it would be hot to brutalize her.

Ah, I was about to ask if Ghomeshi were back in the dating world again.

This is the best #MeToo article I’ve read yet, and it absolutely destroys this Straw Girl argument. https://lithub.com/the-fall-of-men-has-been-greatly-exaggerated/

Yeah, I think you nailed it. He’s surprised to find that he can no longer wrap his mother around his finger like he could when he was 16.

Edward thoroughly shat the bed with the Royal Knockout business and having his camera crew creep on his nephew at St. Andrews. I gather he had a Come To Jesus chat with the powers that be at the Palace that included the words “cut off the Civil List” and since then he’s behaved himself.

Honestly, I think we’ll have to have a special tumbril just for the op/ed departments of the WaPo and NYTimes.

No, the Palace doesn’t support their PR efforts other than the general “is flying abroad to work in New York” “Is getting married” “Is wearing Dior” etc. Their parents have been trying to make them A Thing because in Britain being A Thing is a pretty damn sweet living.

They’re not working royals, but not for lack of parental effort. Andrew knows the best way to assure his daughters’ futures is to put them on the ribbon-cutting and orphanage-visiting circuit, but the Palace won’t have it. Too many royals dilutes the brand, and costs taxpayer money that the taxpayers really resent.

Okay, so he kissed her when she was a teen but didn’t fuck her till she was 21? Is that better?

Cooking and cleaning and picking stuff up at the store are routine childhood chores. How was Dalton, Gwyneth?

I wonder if he’s kissed Martin Scorsese too.

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.

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…
