God, not only am I totally hot — pretty much near ideal, tbh — I also get brownie points for my ‘transparency’ and bringing to light how Photoshop distorts women’s perceptions of themselves. Whew! Tough work being a feminist and super cute at the same time!”
- How long before women are allowed to play in the MLB and NBA?
- The burlesque movement is not only popular in the United States, it’s making its mark in the UK too. Funny how some people are obsessed by the “Is X feminist or not?” issue. (H/T @LiveGirlsNOLA)
- A skyscraper is going up in Los Angeles’ historic core and, predictably, it sucks. My favorite comment (which I saw on Facebook): “It spells out ‘Fuck you, L.A.!’ in Morse code.'”
- A $68 billion high-speed rail boondoggle instead of an $11 billion water bond? Sure, makes sense.
- Has globalism been good for architecture? Witold Rybczynski isn’t so sure, while James Russell thinks the question is stupid and that “haters of starchitecture are almost always wrong.”
- One of my favorite active filmmakers, Whit Stillman, on the 20th anniversary of BARCELONA.
- Lloyd takes a look at THE LAST PICTURE SHOW and wonders if Polly Platt was the brains behind the operation.
- The fevered fury of life without love! The most STARTLING picture of the century!

“You are a unique God damn snowflake so never forget that!”
Someone really ought to do a meme with these ridiculous Millennial banalities juxtaposed with third world images of child soldiers, Ebola victims and famine.
Perhaps I might suggest a connection between people who are concerned with whether something is Feminist or not and people who’ve never lived without running water or readily available food.

That would backfire into a victory for the social justice warriors — “look at all these privileged, sub-obese white girls and their inane problems.”
A better troll campaign would contrast their endless worrying over the morality of disclosing every micro-touch-up on their selfies, and their complete disregard of their own so-called friends. Like when you see a group of them in a public place, side-by-side, all staring straight down at their own separate glowing screens, only turning toward or speaking to one another every ten minutes.
That’s the proper contrast for their self-centeredness — not their obliviousness toward third-world shitholes, but toward their own friends, family, and community.
