I don't like her, but then she reminds me too much of me. I have problems with depression and alcoholism, and I can't read her without wondering if I'd be as self-absorbed and chronically oversharing as she is if I'd been lucky and connected enough to find an audience for my easy, cynical thoughts when I was young…
I remember when Kate Moss was photographed taking drugs, thinking it was amazing how many op-ed columnists in the UK suddenly became principled opponents of the war on drugs overnight. I wondered if the mood would last, if perhaps these columnists would remain outraged at the treatment of single mothers with drug…
*clutches award* "It came true!"
Ain't no junkie like a trust fund junkie, 'cause a trust fund junkie gets lionised by the media and a steady string of opportunities!

"So as you know, we drove on toward death through the cooling twilight."
You know, I don't think I've ever read an actual Millennial gushing over Girls the way older writers do. It's like the narrative of Lena Dunham being the poet laureate of her generation is so seductive no-one's bothered to check whether we actually like this shit.

Me too. I was totally hoping her and Danny Boyle would be my favourite celebrity couple forever and ever, but it doesn't seem to have worked out, alas.
When I heard Harmony Korine was married, I was surprised. When I heard he was married to one of the Spring Breakers cast, I thought "Yeah, that figures."
I love Amitabh Bachchan, and he seems to be doing OK with his American accent, but isn't casting him as Meyer Wolfsheim the most insane decision in the history of ever?
...and if you can't make it interesting, make it into a film and a HBO original series.
Oh man, you just planted a flag in this page and claimed it as your own.
We all remember Jezebel's shameful campaign to strip legal and reproductive rights from Republican women, don't we? Why, the discrimination they face, it's nothing short of horrifying.
Ancient Byzantium was lousy for this; the empress Theodora, who rose up from being a Hippodrome performer, seems to have been expected to sexually service wealthy audience members when she was barely pubescent.
I know! Vintage moral panics were so much more fun than the ones we have today.
