MY LOVE!??!?! MY LOVE!?!?!?!?!?!

Well, this was obvious. As the great American poet Jax Taylor once said “I have milk with a longer shelf life than that marriage.”

YOLANDA, I’M A STRAIGHT WOMAN BUT PLEASE MARRY ME SO I CAN BASK FOREVER IN THE GOLDEN AURA EMINATING FROM YOUR LIFE/FRIDGE

I just remind myself that literally everyone is curating their lives to seem better than they are.

What about Rami Malek? Not super popular on the big screen but he had the lead role in Mr. Robot which a got a good amount of buzz over the summer and he’s Egyptian.

I’m not really buying these apologies. Like, that shitass Ridley Scott Moses movie just came out. We just had this same controversy. There’s no way they didn’t consider that whitewashing a movie about Egypt was the wrong thing to do and might cause people to be (rightly) upset, they just hoped that it wouldn’t and…

it depends entirely on what period of egypt’s rule you are talking about. they had a pretty expansive empire for a biiiiiig chunk of time. that said, there were periods in which egypt itself was ruled by leadership from neighboring nubia, where many of the inhabitants had dark skin (and would be considered in today’s…

A few actresses have said in the past that he spat on them, or slapped them or did things to them when they specifically askd him not to. I remember reading the interview of some girl who said she had confided some horrible things that happened to her in the past, and while doing a hardcore scene he started whispering…

I always got a sort of squicky vibe off him too. I don’t judge his porn performances (like other people are saying, some women have rape fantasies and catering to those is fine) but a lot of his comments have come off as strange to me.

Because consensual BDSM play has nothing to do with actual rape. Many sex-positive feminists engage in BDSM without it conflicting or cancelling out their feminist politics.

He always seemed really skeevy.

Lots of women have rape fantasies. Please remember that kink shaming is not okay, and neither acting in nor viewing videos simulating rape is an endorsement of actual rape.

I never understood the Deen love. Boyish smile or no, I’ve seen him in way too many videos that simulate rape, and I could never understand how someone who purports, even mildly, toward feminist self-identification could justify that.

So as a reward for getting laid off, they’re making you work Thanksgiving?

I would also submit that Pinkham was the hero we deserve.

Pinkham, I am not going to lie, yours was a blog I had looked forward to commenting on each week, and during the typical Monday struggles of a mundane office job your posts brightened my mornings. It was your blog where a comment of mine reached over 200 stars for the first time, and I had looked forward to the day I…

Jia is taking over? ....Sigh.

Seriously, I read BCO and Millihelen regularly. Are they canceling those series? Those were some of the best series. I hope they aren’t changing the Jez mix too much. I love the current mix of serious news and vapid funny things. The news is more involved generally than buzzfeed with better commenters and the vapid…

What the actual fuck?! What criteria was used for these layoffs? Page views? I read and love virtually all of Mark’s articles, and it looks like a lot of others here do, too. How is it fair that adorable, hilarious Mark gets the door and darling Jia - one of the rudest, most unprofessional Gawker Media staff members…

Seriously. Behind Closed Ovens, Millihelen, and Mark Shrayber are always my top interests.
