I feel like Gilchrist hastily watched this movie while scrolling through Facebook, having already determined this review was going to be one long “wrong number” pun.

G/O Media and other outlets need to stop using “queer” as an umbrella term for the LGBTQ+ community. I know it just makes it easier to write about us, but it undermines the inherent differences between sexual orientation and gender identity. We don’t all identify as “queer.” Some of us are just gay. Some of us are

I don’t usually play the gay card, but this deserves a big gay “Hell no, Mary!” Straight people have gentrified our neighborhoods, turned our bars into bachelorette safaris, but they’re not getting the nomenclature that labels the very baser desires that make us gay too.

The escapist humor of Emily in Paris and Sex and the City is lost as Uncoupled tries unsuccessfully to relate to its audience. Love her or hate her, Carrie Bradshaw was satire. The shallow opulence of Uncoupled’s Manhattan gays is a sadly accurate depiction, but its lack of irony makes me wonder if Darren Star and

I was going to stay quiet about this because I was sure I’d get pounced on by some pop art aficionados, but it seems I agree with the early consensus. A lot of what passes for modern art really irks me, especially the art created after the mid-century, and it’s only getting worse. I was reminded of it when the

I think Cody addressed this in the most genuine way possible, and it’s not all that surprising. Juno was a very genuine look at what young girls go through when grappling with an unwanted pregnancy. The notion that this film is anti-choice is clearly very upsetting to Cody, and the story seems to be a personal one to

The vast majority of online reviewers only post reviews when they’re unhappy. No one has nice things to say on the internet. People who consider user generated content before dining out don’t deserve good food. Read educated food critics in the local paper and on The Takeout, people.

As shitty as cars in the ‘70s were, at least when your Chevy Shove-it broke down you could fix it yourself in the Advance Auto parking lot. Bump into a parking meter in today’s most reliable car and 27 sensors shut it down and it takes $3000 at a certified mechanic to get it moving again.

To call Bette Midler transphobic is as satirically laughable as the proud hypocrisy parading around the Second Amendment’s answer to school shootings. To dismiss her as “old,” brandishing The Divine Miss M with a trite #okboomer only exposes ageism as the last reserve of tolerated bigotry. And if that’s the case, I’ll

I see that ageism is the last reserve of acceptable bigotry.

The tone of Season 4 was so different it felt like a completely different show, and not a good one. It fell down the CW superhero rabbit hole of dark and troubled characters who are utterly forgettable. Remember when critics raved about Arrow? No? Exactly.

Most people are good people, but the radical Left is looking for enemies where they don’t exist because it’s easier to bend a public person who’s spent her career championing the rights of women and queer people into an apology than it is to change the minds of the real monsters on the radical Right.

These are the fever dreams of urbanists and ideologues, and not without precedent. Le Corbusier’s Radiant City was the exact antithesis of a city center without cars: a utopian proposal to raze urban centers at the behest of cars and compartmentalization. It was applied to Brasilia and Albany, and is echoed throughout

It sounds like you’re only looking at fast food chains and mid-scale fast casual joints. I see them on diner menus, in farmers’ market food courts, and sometimes buried in the kid’s menu. Give it time. Yuppies re-appropriate elementary school cafeteria food like clockwork, and they’re just not done with corndogs and

This comment deserves all the stars.

The purported obligatory “wiz wit” is nonsense. American, cheddar, and provolone are perfectly acceptable. I’m not a fried meat anthropologist so I can’t say when or why vendors started pouring Cheez Whiz on cheesesteaks, probably out of convenience and cost. Pat’s opened about twenty years before Cheez Whiz was

So if you’re a celebrity, might I suggest you sell weird dumb shit like Gwyneth Paltrow instead?

...claims that some birds grow so large, so quickly, that they’re unable to stand after falling on their backs.

In American English, “spastic,” or the more casual “spaz” tends to refer to someone who’s jittery and uncontrollable, usually a toddler or someone on uppers. Think Tweek on South Park. Caffeine or cocaine can cause people to exhibit muscle spasms and spastic behavior.

I remember someone going viral after getting offended by a shirt at Target that used “OCD” in a flippant manner, so I’m sure there must be some codependent people who feel similarly when the word is used casually. I think it’s fine Lizzo changed the lyric and it was classy to acknowledge the misunderstanding,
