In today’s Tweet Beat, Jezebel’s daily celebrity Twitter roundup that happens once every two and a half years, a bunch of celebrities tweeted about how much they want us to vote in the 2018 midterm election. I, personally, wouldn’t mind it if a bunch of us white people stayed home, even just like 53% of us, but I get…
Reality TV isn’t a cesspool; it’s more a bottomless pit. Believe that you’ve seen the worst of it at your own peril—soon enough you’ll plunge to a new low. There will always be one. In my years of watching trash that incentivizes people to act like garbage, I’ve seen someone resort to shitting on the floor when…
Anker bluetooth earbuds, a huge Logitech sale, and personalized jewelry lead off Tuesday’s best deals from around the web.
Evelyn Davis, a long-running fixture of annual shareholder meetings who can perhaps best be described as “larger than life,” has died at 89. A Holocaust survivor, she went on to spend several decades molding herself into the worst nightmare of CEOs across America. She was loud, and she was not shy about being a total…
When I was in kindergarten, I was in ballet class and I loved it, mostly because I would get to goof off and there was a “free dance” period every so often where we would all get to goof off because we were five- and six-year-olds. My mom sewed extra flowers into my leotards and I did exactly one show. I never went…
The midterms won’t just determine who has control over the Senate and the House of Representatives, who’s in governor’s mansions and who’s running state legislatures, or what ballot measures voters approve. They could very well play a huge role in how our elections work over the next decade and beyond.
You know when you really like someone, a lot, to the point where it becomes your life’s work to make them notice you, so, for some reason, without fail, you take on their mannerisms—a tweaked-out accelerated version, usually—as though your only chance of getting them to see you is to be their reflection? And the…
It’s finally Election Day and people are ready to do this shit. And as plenty of people are already noting on Twitter, that can also mean waiting in line. While this often points to a larger problem—an inadequate system, a lack of polling locations, glitchy machines—it’s also a sign that voters are engaged this…
Before she was let go from NBC due to insensitive remarks about blackface, former “Today” show host Megyn Kelly was slated to head the network’s election night coverage, alongside esteemed anchors as Lester Holt and Savannah Guthrie. Allegedly, Kelly’s rating were abysmal and the network decided to try and find an…
On this Election Day, a vital reminder that the Office of the First Lady’s graphic design team continues to Be Best.
I woke up today and found out some dude named Idris Elba has been named People’s Sexiest Man Alive. First of all, did you even know that they did this contest? I didn’t know. How do they narrow it down? Second, I guess I can see it? Something in his soft eyes? And smile. Yeah, he is quite handsome... what’s he in? Thor…
On the eve of the most important midterms of our lifetimes, Donald Trump was out in Ohio keening that he can’t call his daughter Ivanka—or any woman—beautiful anymore, implying the Political Correctness Stasi (his own staff?) will stick his orange head on a pike like a pumpkin, as though that’s the main problem here…

There are a lot of reasons why gel manicures are preferable to regular nail polish. Gels last so. much. longer. than not-gels. They don’t chip. They stay shiny for weeks. And most importantly, your nails are dry when you leave the salon, so there’s no risk of messing up your new nail look. But there is a downside: A…
Costco is selling the four-foot wine glass of your dreams/hungover nightmares, theoretically as a “decoration.” That part is obviously ridiculous—you don’t buy a four-foot tall wine glass to fill with fake plants, I don’t care how many chenille throws or rustic driftwood signs you’ve got in your suburban home. If you…
NBC decided to join several other major TV networks in pulling a racist ad created by Trump’s campaign committee, though not before it aired during Sunday Night Football, so...great.
A few short days after Simone Biles found historic success at the World Gymnastics Championships, the United States Olympic Committee announced this afternoon that it was in the process of revoking USA Gymnastics’ status as a national governing body. The revocation isn’t official though and will take time, the USOC’s…
Matthew McConaughey really wanted to play Jack in Titanic, and he was pretty sure he nailed his audition, too. Imagine his surprise when he, Matthew McConaughey, lost out to that little dweeble from What’s Eating Gilbert Grape. From Page Six:
Thanksgiving and other food-centric winter holidays are nearly upon us, which means it’s almost time to scrape the sides of all your best mixing bowls to eke out the maximum possible amount of batter, filling, frosting, or other edible mixtures—either savory or sweet (we’re open to all). But which spatula does the…
Make it clap for democracy.
