I have a several very good friends who speak very loudly in public. I am also, to some people, a very good friend who speaks very loudly in public. Both these facts occasionally lend themselves to some awkward situations. I have been on several modes of public transportation with a friend who is screaming about her…
Donald Trump’s boner for murderous dictators is the opposite of news at this point, yet it’s still jarring to think about Trump’s pulsating crush on North Korean leader Kim Jong Un, confirmed Sunday night by South Korean president Moon Jae-in. Moon says Trump told him he has a “very friendly view” of Kim and wants to…
Timothée Chalamet’s cheekbones were born to be a Wes Anderson bellhop, or Boy Scout, or precocious high school student, or stop-motion King Charles Spaniel. And soon, they will fulfill their destiny, as the Internet’s third favorite boyfriend (behind Noah Centineo and the Hot Duck) has reportedly been cast in…
A Florida woman’s family is desperately searching for her after she went missing last week while vacationing in Costa Rica.
The hot duck has dominated the news cycle for far too long. Though his colorful down is undeniably alluring, he is too aware of his own hotness, much like how the boy who returned from summer camp hot turned into an ass once he understood his new power.
Much to my surprise and my roommates’ consternation, I have somehow managed to work from home for an entire year. There are a lot of upsides to leading a laissez-faire life of couch-writing. I never have to commute, which is a true blessing, considering how often all the New York City subways experience systemwide…
On Saturday, a hiker on a remote island in New Zealand discovered two pods worth of pilot whales had washed up on the beach. Though around 75 whales were dead when the hiker got to them, conservation workers decided to euthanize the remaining 145 on Sunday.
Donald Glover and Rihanna spent August in Cuba filming Guava Island, and though there was a lot of secrecy surrounding the shoot over the summer, someone caught the trailer over the weekend at Glover’s PHAROS Festival in New Zealand and posted a video of it on Twitter. I had to put on my glasses to watch it, but it…
Sex robots are taking over the world, which is good news for people who want to fuck but can’t be bothered to deal with other humans, and bad news for people who don’t want to be murdered by a sex robot. With the rise of sex robots comes the presumptive rise of sex robot brothels, including one proposed brothel that…
Mere seconds after news broke of Mac Miller’s fatal overdose, ex-girlfriend Ariana Grande was bombarded with Internet vitriol blaming her for his death. Dissatisfied with merely lobbing that level of loathing at a 25-year-old in mourning, one Twitter troll decided to accuse her of “milking” Miller’s death, because the…
The other day, my friend was running late to meet me for dinner. “When are you going to be here?” I texted him. “Soon,” he replied. He showed up 20 minutes later. Meanwhile, yesterday, I asked my mother what time people would start showing up for Thanksgiving dinner. “Soon,” she said. Someone showed up three minutes…
A former USA Gymnastics president says she warned the United States Olympic Committee about rampant sex abuse in the sport back in the 1990s, but was encouraged by the committee not to investigate or discipline perpetrators.
Another year, another onslaught of celebrity Instagram posts featuring Thanksgiving centerpieces that cost more than my monthly rent. Last year, The Stars wore capes, gave thanks, bought sweaters, exercised, cooked, and blessed us with photos of baby Luna Legend. This year, they did some other stuff. Let’s dig in!
A U.S. district judge in Michigan has ruled against a federal ban on female genital mutilation, arguing that Congress overstepped its constitutional authority in passing the 1996 law.
Quel scandale!
How many Trumps cosplaying colonial oppression does the continent of Africa need? It appears that answer is two Trumps, because Ivanka Trump plans to go on a multi-nation tour of Africa in January. Melania Trump just went last month, you see, and it is NO FAIR THAT SHE GETS TO GO AND I DON’T, DADDY, I WANT TO GO TO…
I am still recovering from the terrifying ‘90s Cats commercials that backdropped my childhood nightmares, but the upcoming movie adaptation does seem to be shaping up nicely. It appears Sir Ian McKellen has been aptly cast as Gus the Theater Cat, and he offered up a small sampling of the feline terror to come on the …
There are only two things on this earth that I love: catchy breakup songs with brazen call-outs, and Star Wars. So it was with extreme pleasure that I report to you that Mark Hamill tweeted, “Thank you, next,” i.e., the title of Ariana Grande’s infamous Pete Davidson clapback. He did not mean to do it, but in life,…
Mississippi Senator Cindy Hyde-Smith is headed for a run-off election against Mike Espy, a Democratic challenger who, if elected, would be the state’s first black Senator since Reconstruction. With that historic opportunity in mind, then, please note that on Sunday a video surfaced on social media showing Hyde-Smith…
I don’t know why Donald Trump bothers playing anything but “Tomorrow Belongs to Me” at his Very Special Big Boy Gets Big Claps rallies, but on Sunday night he attempted to rev up the angry mob with Rihanna, and she was not happy. Cue so many “Rihanna Wants Trump to Please STOP the Music” headlines littering the i…
