I think it’s the second one with Andy McDowell where they get boozy with expensive wine and engage in the most earnest performance of “Hard to Believe We’re in Heaven.” It’s cheesy as all hell but lord if Matt Bomer doesn’t sell that shit like puppies and hot chocolate. The PERFORMANCES are fun, but get a little Read more

Paying close attention to lifestyle journalism over the past six months revealed that the anxieties, concerns, and fears that are being documented are purely those of Richard Florida’s “creative class”—upwardly-mobile individuals working in vaguely creative sectors who mostly congregate in cities like New York and San Read more

Lately I’ve had a few zoom calls with family (who are geographically very spread out), that have made me realize how different our experiences have been.

Bunch of fucking hypocrites. Read more

I seem to remember George Bush slapping Laura’s ass at an event, and everyone went crazy because it was so un-presidential. Remember the old days? When Bush was a reviled president who lovingly smacked his wife’s ass? I’ll take that anyday over President McCheater Philanderer “grab em by the pussy” Drumpf Read more

I’m not a reality TV watcher, but I’ll confess that based on the few minutes I’ve seen of KUWTK here and there, I sort of get it. They’re pretty and glamorous but they are also extremely human, and the family vibe is real.  Read more

Because they don’t deserve their wealth and fame? Because they are everywhere? So fucking what. There are tons of celebs like that, Read more

I’m not sure that I would call them grifters? There’s no bait-and-switch here. It wasn’t tee’d up as one type of show but then turned out to be another. They weren’t presented as experts in anything. Read more
