Because you can’t think about why you fucked your partner (or got inseminated, etc.) let alone why a company would want your data.  All I could think about was 1. it turns out I’m allergic to morphine and I’m itching like a motherfucker and 2. get this fucking catheter out of me before I strangle you with it.  I’d…

Word. Also, since when is Jez in the business of policing how people (especially women) raise their kids?  Unless she’s hanging them out a hotel window, I couldn’t give a fuck.

What part of a social contract do you not understand? What part of the legal ability for a business to pay a server less than the non-tip minimum wage because the federal fucking government understands the implicit requirement of tipping do you not understand?  Or do you think $2.13 is a living wage?  Or are you just…

Often, your career of a server is your choice

I honestly think KUWTK would be a silent film if these people were banned from saying “wild,” “doll,” and “rude.”

Am I just having such a Monday that I can’t even make the logic of this work? Not even like, I agree/disagree with these people’s stance on exotic pet trades but...they paid money for an exotic pet to exotic pet traders to oppose the exotic pet trade and then released said exotic pet? So they reinforced the traders’…

The kind of big deal with JC is the resurrection.

Yeah, this was a classic (klassic?) “punch up, not down, Kim,” moment.

My mom is that person, and not just because she’s An Old. It’s particularly pronounced in race/class contexts, like in the 90s when she wanted one of those air-freshener things for your car that was shaped like a crown and literally only allowed if you were a middle-aged African-American man from Detroit. She was a…

Mandy Moore makes your list of “fairly impressive celebrities?”

I didn’t argue that logic wasn’t an element of argument. You argued that it was the commenter’s logic skills—not rhetorical skills—that you were impugning. Stating the definition of logic doesn’t prove that. It doesn’t do, well, anything actually. Despite your total failure to defend your argument, I won’t hold it…

He was Mia’s partner. He has referred to himself as Dylan’s father (Dylan is his adopted daughter, while Soon-Yi is Andre Previn’s)—a child to whom he would’ve had the same proximity as Soon-Yi. I would have so much more respect for the Woody Allen apologists if you all just said, “I don’t care about the Soon-Yi…

Rhetoric: the art of effective or persuasive speaking or writing, especially the use of figures of speech and other compositional techniques.

No, we don’t wonder. We know why: because you’ve been inculcated with misogyny. Thank you for demonstrating it by choosing an attack on the commenter’s rhetorical skills that demeans all women to prove it.

Actually, that’s exactly what the commenter said. Skip it or wear pajamas. I guess s/he read it in The Official Guide to Doing Feminism Right.

I’d love for a single. other. movement. to be subjected to the level of scrutiny that women saying “stop raping, assaulting, and harassing us” is. You show up for an awards show that’s broadcast all over the world and you speak out against this behavior, you bring as your guest and give a platform to women (often of…

I’m really starting to love Messing. I admit I do agree with her about 95% of the time, but I also just admire how direct she is. So many celebs aren’t willing to risk alienating anyone, and I appreciate that she will. She also uses terminology that suggest to me that she actually knows what she’s talking about.

Oh, I missed that! Ryan reads as *so* inauthentic to me, in that whichever-way-the-wind-blows kind of way. He’s so practiced, so cautious. Very robotic and mannequin-like. I’d honestly have thought he’d say something non-committal and mealy-mouthed like, “there are a lot of important topics to discuss tonight!” or…

While being interviewed by E!, she said she was upset to learn that E! doesn’t support equal pay for its anchors, that she stands with and misses Cat Sadler, and that E! could change their stance on equal pay tomorrow. It was pretty amazing, and Giuliana looked as uncomfortable and perplexed as you can imagine any E!…

Did you see Debra Messing put E! on blast? Giuliana was like the Homer-receding-into-the-bushes gif.
