The origin story of this song is AMAZING. People think that little kids don’t remember, but we all do.

Remember Sandy? They locked the doors of Rikers and just walked away. 

But what about For Women First????

Jian, nobody’s buying it this time around either.

Right? I loved them.

The Lithub newsletter is something I read every day, and there’s always something good in it. That particular essay deserves to go down in history.

The pearl-clutching apologists are the worst. He wasn’t ousted because the world can’t handle edgy takes. He was ousted for participating in the cover-up of a violent sexual attacker. 26 women. Twenty-six women. TWENTY SIX WOMEN.

Post the link to your dissertation!

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.

Fun fact: Over 80% of ground squirrels in Santa Monica test positive for bubonic plague.

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.
