Ah. So the character of an entire city can be determined by one person if—and only if—that person is the sitting president. Got it. Makes total sense. I’m going to sign off now so I can go live in my backwards, conservative, white supremacist city where we have far-reaching housing anti-discrimination laws, employment…

And Ruth Bader Ginsberg.  And about 9 million other people at this very moment.  But ok.

I’m anxious to get the fuck outta here after 14 years, I’ll admit it.  But you can’t possibly think this bullshit is limited to New York.

Yeah, I think the read on Miley is super subjective but mine tends to be sort of, she seems to have grown up in a very loose family, the sort of people who walk around naked, who break up and make up, who smoke weed together, etc. and had to really keep that under wraps as a Disney star. I remember vividly the…

I’m really grateful for your voice on this. I think what you’re arguing for overall is an intersectional understanding of hip-hop, one that includes not just race (often addressed), gender (sometimes addressed but not often in mainstream critique that also includes the perspective of specifically Black women), and…

I’ve seen them get into minor scuffles (her store caught selling fake Chanel bags but frankly, I could see that happening at a lot of those types of boutiques, a lawsuit for $17k, etc.) but I always assume celebrity attracts a certain degree of that kind of thing. And frankly, you can’t swing a dick near the cast of…

Also, unless I’m mistaken, Lu doesn’t even live in NYC anymore.  Her full-time residence is upstate (it’s only like an hour but these are women who once made an epic fuss about Brooklyn being Siberia) and I don’t think she even has a pied a terre in the city.  I don’t know why, but I feel strongly that there should be…

She’s just so goddamn pitiful though, no? The lament over a guy who was clearly someone you would only settle for to begin with, it was like she convinced herself she actually wanted this guy and then he dumped her!  Tinz, GO DO YOU, GIRL. Please leave the Koupon King in the kupboard and go implant your embryos or…

An item to add: it will be painfully obvious to observers whether you really have the goods or don’t. I swear to you, it was Brian Moylan’s first Dorit mention in a recap that he said, “I’m reasonably certain the house is rented and/or they don’t have anywhere near the money they pretend to have.” The ones who really,…

So that must have been like, 3 minutes in to the pilot?  I am constantly at war with myself for liking the soapy sexiness of the show and being furious that it seems to average like, 17.8 rapes per episode.

Dude. Women get raped on that very show fucking constantly.  Whether it’s Jamie or anyone else, rape is like, the main plot device.  It’s hardly a sexist issue where we’re happy to just sit through an hour of male rape but the moment someone whistles at a lady we’re all up in arms.  Please pass this along to all the…

Thank you for this! I feel like 90% of the commenters, myself included, haven’t seen it and are just having a reflexive “stop using rape as a plot device, Game of Thrones!” reaction. I would make the case for more of the type of depictions you’re describing (brutal and horrid as they may be) and a lot less of the…

Listen, you’ll get nowhere arguing for nuance and complexity on the internet, especially with regard to wealthy, attractive women.  They’re Madonnas or whores and you’d do well to remember it.

Also, Kim got married only after North’s birth, meaning she also had a child out of wedlock (even without the divorces being at issue).

This is actually a really fair point. These people are dreadful but they have been consistent supporters of reproductive rights. That’s all the more reason this party is fucked up—you know exactly what the fuck is at stake and you’re like LOL rape and forced pregnancy! Make it a theme drink! (Although I’ve always…

I am an active non-viewer of The View, as in I consciously cultivate my opposition to watching it.  So can someone clarify why she’s wearing sunglasses?  Is it some segment on shade?  Did she just inexplicably wear them one day?  I’m so confused.

I am five months pregnant and have gained 30 lbs and feel fucking terrible about myself for being clinically exhausted for all but this weird 20 minutes a day when I’m playing with my son and feel alive. So thanks for this.

I think the expectations of perfection are so extraordinary that they are keeping up their intense workouts and dieting *and* wearing Spanx. I mean, they are naturally beautiful people who have world-class makeup artists and *still* use Photoshop. It’s a weird world.

Thanks, man. She’s in a particularly bad moment right now so last night’s episode and Lisa’s tone-deafness really sat badly with me.
