When was the last time? Is this a Tom Junod vendetta or something? An award-winning journalist not a hack at Jezebel?

I have seen Mohr perform live three times. He is an incredibly talented performer but not known as a particularly nice person, not at all supportive to up-and-coming comics. His podcasts are enormous. He's a big deal but I will say, he works his ass off on stage. I saw three times in 2 months when he was at Improv…

I understand your point, but it is also true that living in a room in a house in an area with 4000/month rent (doorman, elevator building easily that in many desirable areas of the city) with free access to a fridge full of Fairway, Dean and Deluca, Whole Foods or Jubilee makes minimum wage considerably more…

This is so funny! I read the paragraph about the mathematically-challenged dimwitted American teens (behind the curve) to boyfriend and he laughed out loud.

I think it's right on but think it's already happened. If you're out and about, people 30 and under on their phones are checking Twitter feeds about three times…

20 is absolutely minimum in WLA and NYC from what I have seen and nannies of more than one kid do a lot better. But not every nanny hates life. Some live in areas they will never be able to afford again except in a shoebox and are part of the family. Now a babysitter for 4 hours maybe 15. But true nannys... can make…

I know someone 6 years in the Army, then Teach for America, then law school, hated law, went back to Teach for America in one of the roughest schools in NYC. Truman. Knife fights, all manner of craziness. Sex in stairwells. I asked him, with this amazing background, why not tutor Dalton or prep school kids. He said,…

Well the Facebook comments are quite impressive. It's almost a consensus that this article is poppycock. The woman with a rare brain disorder captured her triumphant and joyous release from the hospital. Another woman was 20 stone (I forget how many pounds that is in the British system of measurement) and is proud of…

Mazel Tov. I am all for being the heroine of your own narrative but if you're so secure, why is nomenclature meaningful? (I fully approve being your own heroine, by the way, with or without analysis at what 35K , minimum, if you're a youngster, and if you are my age, in West LA or Manhattan, it was minimum 2000 bucks…

Sorry, late for dinner, close of parenthesis should be after Hollywood. Only graduate students or militant Eve Kosofsky Sedgwick/Judith Butler academics use such terms

I'm a walking IMDB post-1975. I love TV, film as well as high culture.

end parenthesis after "nonsense" before semi-colon.

Victorian Chick is my blog/FB page: 1) I am a Ph.D. candidate from UCSB whose dissertation was on Victorian fiction (Eliot but also Wordsworth, Kant and James, ethics/aesthetics dissertation), 2) My name is Victoria, 3) I live on the Upper East Side 3 months a year and love fashion and Victorian Chick was a boutique…

Then, not than.

This is more faux Second Wave feminism nonsense.

And would vastly prefer, it should have read.

Funny! My boyfriend's sister and her husband own a gorgeous new three -bedroom in the Dogpatch they are renting out because they both have jobs in Illinois now. "Kale Koolaid" is a good description but like anywhere, you find different social circles.

Like many literate people who following such things, I have been genuinely horrified by the reappearance of this tragic figure with her "ex-junkie Manhattan, Harvard/Yale schtick" (all the more so since I'm three years younger and went to Yale for undergrad).
