a change is gonna come… we hope… maybe? (emotions via britney)
ok, ya’ll, let’s do this. and to do this we (obviously) need my emotionally incontinent face twin, ms britney.
a lot has happened since we last spoke.
for example, the new york times published this piece on harvey weinstein.
the new yorker published this substantially less well written piece on harvey weinstein.
the new yorker published a follow-up story on harvey weinstein.
the new york times published a follow-up story on harvey weinstein.
there was some exceedingly valuable writing on the matter from all over the internet which i will not even attempt to condense here.
buzzfeed published this piece on kevin spacey.
assorted other venues posted articles on kevin spacey.
to say nothing of brett ratner, mark halperin, leon weiseltier, george hw bush, ben affleck, dustin hoffman, etc.
so, like an amazingly enormous amount of stuff happened. but we’re not here to talk about that. Continue reading
so we had some things to say…
and the part of jacqueline kennedy onassis will be played by kim kardashian or taylor swift
well, well. so it’s one of those mornings where i went to bed thinking i’d write about one thing and woke up to discover i needed to write about something else.

to the kid in a nearby flat who does piano practice for 15 mins every saturday morning and has been working on the jurassic park theme for months now: BLESS YOU. it’s getting better.

the sex lives of dead people: JFK edition (emotions via britney)
i mean, i had you at hello, right? you are like, holy moses, this woman is ambitious. for seriously, is there a more prodigious sex life of a dead person than that of JFK? haven’t we all of us, by this point, slept with JFK?
ok. so that’s taking it a step too far. but seriously. and i say this as a biographer. it is likely that JFK slept with a whole load of people. i’m not contesting that.
there seems to be a lot of compelling evidence that his sex life was extensive.
having written extensively about his wife, there seems to be compelling evidence that she knew his sex life was extensive.
what i would do is suggest that we not take every single claim about his extensive sex life as absolute truth.
