I’ve never been a fan of the fashion industry generally nor fashion magazines specifically because they measure women’s worth by their appearance. However, if the rest of the world disagrees with me and we’re going to have a fashion industry and media, it’s best that it’s inclusive, and that we have many ways to see…

So many notions of genetics and biology by the public are based in pseudoscience inevitably couched in eugenics, and especially in this case, anti-Black misogyny. People having certain genes doesn’t guarantee those genes will be expressed in the way laymen would typically assume they will. There are other women with…

(barring the reparations commentary).

This isn’t about legitimizing her path to the presidency. It’s about acknowledging that she does something well, and if the frontrunners were smart they would copy some aspects of her approach to messaging on the debate stage. 

Damn, she’s gonna make me like her, isn’t she?

What if we spin history so that Reagan was named after the airport? Because the airport is pretty decent as far as airports go.

“It’s because of revolting moments like this one that I’ll continue to express myself and make myself heard.”

Very excited to see Albinati highlighted here! Also, Olga Tokarczuk is really something else, and it’s great to see more and more of her work come into translation. Fitzcarraldo Editions has The Books of Jacob coming next year, which feels like a pretty major event in translated literature.

I don’t want to polish this up too much, as it was my small rebellion, but it did piss him off. I’ve hated him since the 80's, so this was a long time coming.

I’m hoping Liz Warren does well (I’m a #LizLad) and will be interested to see how Bernie explains that it’s not racism that’s a problem, it’s classism! 

I* wasn’t clear but was alluding to the fact the Jezebel seems to want to swing the pendulum far into the Vodka and Marlboro Red breakfast fairly frequently and it’s a fucking disservice.

What you’re looking for is called “moderation”, and it’s not easy to sell to people.

I’m talking about the toddlers of 2018-19 when they’re club age in the 2030s

Baby Shark ain’t got shit on Old Town Road with the yoots, yo.

Wait about 15-18 years when some smart DJ plays Baby Shark up in the club one night

You have not lived until you’ve seen an arena-full of children sing every word of the song at the top of their lungs. I’ve never seen children go harder in the paint for a song than they do for Old Town Road.

My feeling is that everybody is different. When the candidates are so numerous (yay!) and so diverse (also yay!) we are naturally going to have our preferences. There are people out there who intensely dislike Elizabeth Warren, for example, which I find surprising. It turns out that they don’t trust her, and think…

But this is Splinter; you are supposed to act like anyone not named “Bernie” is Hitler incarnate, don’t ya know?

I would be fine if no other artist or song ever reached the top of the charts
