If only we were all entitled to the forgiveness and patience afforded to Christian white males

I used to be a complete slave to Carmex... in the little glass jars. They changed the formulation, though, so it’s not the same - and no glass jars for a long long time, now. Mostly now it’s Burt’s Bees.

That list has big “we shared a stage with [insert famous band]... by which I mean we opened a festival 12 hours before they played and they weren’t even in the venue at that point” energy.

Impressive of Trump to somehow find an even less photogenic angle from which to display himself.  I didn’t think that was possible.

When my ex was having trouble dating, he watched the whole series because he thought that’s what women were like.

I remember watching this 20-odd years ago with my (then) wife, three or four episodes a night as the DVDs came out from the video store.

That I could hear it in her voice made it that much funnier.

The first movie closed with her leaving Smith Jared/LA & moving back to New York. The second movie, Samantha was still a publicist in New York & was the one who got them the all-expenses paid trip to Abu Dhabi from her clients. 

The summer before I left my conservative Christian household for college, I got my very own laptop for the first time. Realizing this meant I could watch whatever I wanted, I secretly rented the entire SATC series on DVD and mainlined it in a couple months. It was the only thing that even halfway prepared me for the

It was 2021 in New York City, and I couldn’t help but wonder: where were all the non-caucasians?

It seems like there's an awful lot of shows about a group of white people who live in very diverse cities, but only interact with other white people. 

Yeah the myopia is strong here. Also, “New York has to reflect the way New York looks today.” Erm, New York also looked that way in 1998 when the show premiered. They just can’t ignore it now without being (justifiably) called out.

Diversity just for diversity's sake just to fill a quota is so pathetic, this project should've been killed after Kim Cattrall, it's fine when some shows, Mad Men it's a good example of this, deliberately don't have diversity because it was to showcase the thinking of the 1960s, but this is just like when they got

“ ... my fantasy cold open for this program that finds the women in mourning veils, draping Samantha’s headstone with dildos and pearl g-strings ...

This, this, this.

anyone referring to Kate’s upbringing as “solidly middle class” is delusional. Her and pippa lived an apartment that cost millions of dollars after graduating and literally did nothing but be ya know “socialites.” 

British social hierarchy still puts “never having to work” as the desired endgoal. So if you’re born and can live off an inheritance it’s a sign your family is worth something.

Bizarre how her mother was made fun of when she started a company that made an absolute fortune (not even close to an easy task) while the people ridiculing her had everything handed to them from the outset and some generations at that.

“Her public image—not Kate the person, but the figure of Catherine, Duchess of Cambridge, future Princess of Wales and eventual Queen Consort—is synonymous with a very specific, very white vision of motherhood.”

Kate ticks all the same boxes that made women appealing to the masses two centuries ago. She never complains. She always makes sure to look her best. She rigorously watches her weight. She makes sure she does whatever the Firm tells her to with a smile. She ignored the philandering before and after her marriage.
