Doesn't necessarily have to be shady, they might have been separated at the time.

I thought this when I read that story about the mother being outraged that a shopkeeper tried to sell her teen daughter spanx. My mother is also lovely and supportive but I can remember her telling me I needed spanx to “hide my rolls” in a dress. I know she would cry if I reminded her of that now.

I’ve never worked in magazines but in book publishing there would be at least one person in a lower power position trying to point out that this was completely inappropriate but all the higher up people would think she was just being an oversensitive killjoy, and she’d get overruled.

Honestly I tried but it didn't make any sense

I loved in last week’s ep when he said Jess needed a bird shirt guy. I was like THAT IS SO TRUE.

I get what you’re saying about sitcoms in general but there is no cool normal guy on New Girl. They are all total weirdos.

He is so wonderful.

The more you guys try to tell us you're not in a cult the more it really sounds like you're in a cult. Pro-tip: rambling monologues are very culty.

This whole thing has made me absolutely despise him.

I could honestly care less that he’s a rich white guy. I could give a shit if he got away with smuggling drugs into Australia. But instead he brought animals into an island without going through quarantine and put hundreds of unique and wonderful species at risk, and didn’t even care once someone explained the risk to…

It would probably still make me break out in hives but I might be more mellow about it

My face flips out if a leaf gently caresses it. I can’t even imagine what would happen if you put a needle full of ink anywhere near it.

ESPECIALLY with someone you met online. Rookie move.

Conversely they're so ubiquitous here that it never occurred to me they're not grown in the US much 🍌🍌🍌

Her diet is still stupid but from what I know she’s from Queensland, the tropical state where most of Australia’s bananas are grown. And bananas are native to Australia. So she’s maybe not the best example, except for her insane overconsumption.

I always wonder if the people making the ‘Now Jay-Z’s got 100 problems!’ jokes made it to the second half of the album

What is even their justification for that...?

Reading Gawker always makes me realise how much I love Jezebel.

There’s definitely a place in academic conversation for acknowledging your own thoughts and feelings, depending on the discipline. I did a kind of combined international relations/media comms masters degree and it was basically expected that we would spend some time interrogating how our opinions were shaped by our…
