I sure didn’t, because this name is totally made up. However, it’s one step away from Alien, and Alienovna would be a freaking hilarious patronym. 

I’m Russian, and these surnames drive me crazy. It should either be Romanova, Belova and Vostokova (Melina is definitely not a Russian name, BTW), or Romanoff, Beloff and Vostokoff.

It’s weird to me that none of the articles by Emily mentioned non-White authors who supported Dessen (I actually first saw tweets by N.K. Jemisin and Celeste Ng, who were both sympathetic towards Dessen). Then it was Roxane Gay. I think it’s kind of disingenuous to frame this as a white feminism problem and to focus…

Yay! He was very good as Laurie in the BBC version of Little Women (which I strongly recommend if you haven't seen it yet). 

I’m very sorry that Paltrow is doing whatever this is she is doing now, because she is legitimately one of my favourite actresses. I just finished reading She Said, and the book makes it pretty clear that Paltrow withdrew herself from acting after years of workplace abuse from Harvey Weinstein (so I like to at least…

I actually waited for a review of She Said, but it's still nowhere to be found on Jezebel. Weird, right? Why review a book written by women and about women if you can bitch that a man didn't write this book instead? 

Marvel: “Damn, now we really wish we had killed off Hawkeye and not Natasha”

Um, it’s the second article that pretends that tall girls have no problems at school - so you’ve never heard about supermodels who had been mercilessly bullied and called ugly specifically because of their height? 

 I find myself unable to distinguish between articles about the Trumps and Succession recaps anymore.

The BBC adaptation was everything I needed, thanks. This trailer is... ok, I guess? 

Guys, I wrote this on Deadspin already, but her name was Veronika Nikonova and not this... mess that was written in the report. She was a former child actress from Belarus (this story made headlines here in Russia last week). 

Um, wtf is with the spelling in the original article? The girl’s name is Veronika Nikonova, she was a former child actress known in Russia for playing one of the leads in a war movie Brestskaya Krepost (I think it's Fortress of War on IMDB). https://m.imdb.com/name/nm4143019/?ref_=m_tt_cl_t14

I read about this on Twitter, and I had to stop several times because what the everloving fuck. These poor kids and this fucking witch. 

Not sure about the bed, but most of the sketchy info I got on Soloway was from this review of her memoir- it is GLORIOUS. https://www.affidavit.art/articles/no-one-wants-it

Rearly looking forward to binging JJ this weekend. I feel like I was the only person in the world to genuinely enjoy season 2.

Why does all of it sound amazing and make me want to see it?

Actually it’s not predictable at all - they didn’t edit Bohemian Rhapsody, and somebody has already posted some very curious edits to the Vita and Virginia poster (will the film be edited too?..) I’m Russian, and honestly our approach to censorship is all over the place (which would make it kinda hilarious if it…

“True Detective forces confrontations and falls a little flat”

For a few episodes I’ve been reading Tom as gay (and I had a wild suspicion that something happened between him and Roland - a similar idea is mentioned in the Rolling Stone recap today). That’s not the point, though - the point is that the reviewer doesn’t even bother to mention interesting stuff that would be really…

I’ve watched the whole season of You before it appeared on Netflix. It’s extremely watchable trash, IMO, but some people’s interpretations of this show just puzzle me (including the comparison with Crazy Ex-Girlfriend). It kinda sorta deconstructs the narrative of stalking as love, showing how ugly and cruel this kind…
