“The permanent layoffs will not affect Cirque du Soleil employees in Florida and Las Vegas”

I was so shocked by the specificity of “spread frosting on my gums” (and the fact this near stranger had declared it my job!!!!) that I never questioned it. Probs should have.

“moved her pillow to the other end of the bed so that she could listen to our conversation”

The secondhand rage I am experiencing on your behalf right now...

Despite the terrifying conclusion of this story, I am extremely tickled by this person’s decision to put this on a to-do list.

Immediately upon moving in, she sat me down and explained to me that she had diabetes and that it was my responsibility to help her manage it, including giving her insulin injections and always having frosting in the fridge which I was to spread on her gums if the need ever arose. She warned me that she had passed out…

He looks like a haunted little boy who is unknowingly possessed by a demon posing for a photo on the first day of school.

Thank you for blessing us with this description.

Sorry to be this person, but I think you mean NH, not Vermont.

Okay so I really respect this show and what Phoebe Waller Bridge is doing and I love complicated protagonists (i.e. the narrator of My Year of Rest and Relaxation) but I just could not get myself to like this show even though I wanted to. Am I alone in this sentiment?

Lol just saw this comment as I was about to click away to do the same. Why did I think she was like a decade younger than him?

Who?

Might I suggest Down the Rabbit Hole by Holly Madison instead? It’s not nearly as good and definitely is not as well written, but it’s still an interesting and horrifying story and is written by someone who is not a total monster (that I am aware of).

Has anyone here read How to Make Love Like a Porn Star? It’s so fucking good and it’s so disappointing that this is who Jenna Jameson has become.

Nothing says fighting the patriarchy like calling a random young woman a “fucking bitch” amirite ladies

Exactly. This is like Michael Che attacking random writers who critique SNL, Olivia Munn writing an essay attacking some bloggers or Lizzo put some poor Postmates worker on blast. If you’re famous or even semi-famous, and you’re using your public platform to call out people who no one has heard of, you’re an asshole.

Seriously. I’m a writer/absolute nobody who no one has heard of and I could never handle the results of a Google alert of my name.

I grew up in New Hampshire so I’m admittedly kind of a Sandler apologist, but I think a lot of his movies are underrated. I especially love Just Go With It. Him and Jennifer Anniston are great together and both Nicole Kidman and Dave Matthews (?!?!?) have surprisingly funny cameos.  

Her “hard core feminist vibes” comment is like the 2019 version of that trash “but I’m not, like, a feminist” statement that celebs used to always give.

Have you seen Nocturnal Animals? It seems to be kind of a polarizing movie, but I loved it.
