Lawd in heaven, this anonymous Oscar voter. "I wasn’t familiar with Dunkirk in my history, and I didn’t know it’s in France. And they never explained it." They didn't have to fucking explain it. Your sixth-grade teacher did.

4. When Mira Sorvino won her Oscar, she said:
"When you give me this award you honor my father Paul Sorvino who taught me everything I know about acting..."

I’ll never forget, upon giving my mother a Christmas list with Angus on it, her yelling up the stairs, “Wait, what the hell am I buying you??” when I was 10. She still got me it 🤗
WOW!
I mean, it's no secret that I'm a huge

fan but this performance just took it to a whole other level.
Take a minute to watch Brandi sing "It's Man's Man's World" with the incomparable Brittany Howard.
They're accompanied by SistaStrings.

was made by women because it treats female friendships, J Lo’s dramatic chops and Usher’s dimples with exactly the amount of reverence they all deserve.

They want us to be intelligent, independent, powerful. To rise higher than the women before us. And then just before we reach the summit, they take a slugger to our knees. It's exhausting. The women of this country deserve better.

I turned 30 this summer + have apparently been entered into the age of "ma'am," promulgated ENTIRELY by men. To which I say, unless you're addressing me with Richard Madden's accent (and face and body and Mr. Sheffieldian streak of grey hair), you can go suck your own, sir.
PERSONAL NEWS. Welp, I can finally check it off the ol' Food Media Bingo Card—I got laid off today. And not to toot my own horn but TOOT: I'm really freaking good at my job. I'm quick, I'm resourceful, my copy's always clean, I keep my head down and crank the work ethic way up.
To the drunk girl keeping me awake by running through the streets at 2am on a Monday yelling the lyrics to Khia's "My Neck, My Back," I can't even be mad because I WANT TO BE ON YOUR LEVEL, GIRL.
Sometimes you come home from a two-week vacation and all you have in the fridge is a packet of prosciutto and a pint of Rocky Road, which means you have to Hoover both while standing over the sink and contemplating your life choices I DON'T MAKE THE RULES OKAY I JUST LIVE BY THEM
VERY happy I skipped this hot-mess

Yowza, some of the replies on this thread are degrading as hell. Teen girls have always been ahead of the mainstream. (See: Nearly every fandom, ever.) There's an undeniable power and savviness there that deserves respect.

Are you on bath salts? Those “cowardly acts of hate, terror and violence” are so built into your last name, they’re practically family traditions at this point.
Call Me By Your Name is out this weekend and I've seen it approximately 2,584 times and it's still stunning the hell out of me and you should go see it and smile and sob and here's a picture of Armie Hammer as a cowboy because you deserve it, BYE.
A little Phantom Thread, a little Marie Antoinette, a little Showgirls. Oh, and rabbits.

A stranger just came up behind me and said "Hi, how are you?" so I turned and answered "Hi!" and then realized they were on the phone with someone so if you need me I'll be sitting in a freshly dug grave waiting for death, thanks, bye.
THIS THIS THIS THISSSS. But also apply said rules to movie theaters as well: I paid to hear professional sound mixing, not your lack of manners while you shovel stale-ass kernels of corn down your turkey gullet.
