I really really really dislike Jason Biggs. I can't really put my finger on it, but every time I see him in tweet beat I cringe.

Don't get me wrong, I love Gaga something fierce, but this whole insistence on Jeff Koons and "artpop" makes me feel like she's a college student that just finished a 200-level modern art history class and now won't shut up about it. You know, like she's the first person to ever discover postmodernism or something.

I once also asked for a more thoughtful phrasing regarding a certain article. Surprise surprise; it was also written by Doug Barry. The sad fact is, this is clickbait. It's not journalism. Chris Brown's rape is a spectacle here, instead of being discussed as the disgusting event that it was.

Chris Brown has a singular talent for making it impossible to sympathize with him even if he’s recounting a vaguely traumatic incident from his childhood. You know, like that time he lost his virginity to teenage girl. When he was eight.

Benedict Cumberbatch is what it would look like if one alien described humans to a blind alien, and then the blind alien made a wax figure from that description.

Meanwhile, the Biebs is at home watching GoT shouting, "I don't know why everyone acts like this is so bad. He's the only cool character on the show!"

This is some Joffrey-level shit.

This cat is the living embodiment of the word 'doofus', and I loves it!

Wow... this discussion between yourself and HelloLady may have been the most enlightening discussion I've ever seen on abortion. It's really this simple (but yet totally complicated on a case by case basis): Its an individual experience and you're allowed to feel however the fuck you want to feel about it, regardless…

First of all, I'm so sorry you went through what you did. I just want to point out that there are loads of nuances between "don't do it, it's murder and you will regret it" and "it's nothing, it won't even hurt". I've known several women who had abortions and they range from one who had one because she never wants to…

Honestly, I can see the importance of trying to de-stigmatize abortions for women who are afraid of being judged for choosing to have one, but I have an anecdote that may speak to the unintended negative consequences of the "abortions are no big deal" attitude. I am passionately pro-choice and have been for as long as…

That's what kills me the most about the Republican platform. How can you be against abortion and contraception and sex ed?

I don't think anyone here is against reducing unwanted pregnancies? That's why the vast majority of us are in favor of better access to contraceptives and accurate sex education - things that reduce unplanned pregnancies.

Well put. I got into just that argument with a conservative friend of a friend on Facebook (I know, I know) who pounced on our mutual friend's statement that she wished abortions would always be "safe, legal and rare." Conservative nutter was all, "if you don't have a problem with them, then why do you want them to…

So, um, why is this on Jez?

You made it 6 paragraphs farther than I.

Stephen Merchant is my imaginary boyfriend. I want to climb him like a redwood.

any recommendations for fiction by feminists of color? i saw a few suggestions in the comments, but would love some more

This is probably 10 years old now, but it's a Gothic mystery set in post-World War II Barcelona: Shadow of the Wind by Carlos Ruiz Zafon. It's not scary, but I found it a delicious read. And perfect for autumn weather.

I really want to know what message Bradley Cooper is trying to send us all with this shit. He knows people are going to take photos of him so he goes into a public park with a girl who looks like she's barely 12 and starts reading Lolita in full view of photographers. That is some sick and twisted shit Coop.
