Marina Abramovic was in Florence, Italy on Sunday for a book signing when a man thwacked her over the head with a portrait he, uh, made of her. Why? “I had to do it for my art,” he said, allegedly. Ah.
I have long considered “overachievers” to be the Type A sort of people who did the reading before class and know how to use their Google Calendars. But it appears there is a whole other kind of “overachieving” individual, one whose modus operandi is borne not out of innate perfectionism but the kind of miserable…
Lawyer Michael Avenatti told press tonight that he is representing a third woman who will come forward to accuse Supreme Court nominee Brett Kavanaugh of sexual misconduct in the next 48 hours, according to USA Today.
Despite Brett Kavanaugh’s insistence that his high school experience at Georgetown Prep primarily consisted of sports, church, and “being a good friend,” there’s some potentially revealing shit in his high school yearbook. Like, that he was the “Keg City Club” treasurer, whatever that means, and that he “survived the…
Deputy Attorney General Rod Rosenstein has been a frequent target of presidential vitriol as the Department of Justice official overseeing Special Counsel Robert Mueller’s investigation into Russian election interference and its ties to Donald Trump’s administration. It’s only gotten worse since a report last week…
We see a lot of deals around the web over on Kinja Deals, but these were our ten favorites today.
While Republicans use every tactic they can to insist that Supreme Court nominee Brett Kavanaugh is a good man with impeccable character—and to discredit Christine Blasey Ford and Deborah Ramirez—let’s consider, for a second, which men Donald Trump believes should be taken at their word, and which are considered…
Pardon me for interrupting your afternoon, but I’d love to draw your attention to Pete Davidson, dressed like a first grader, sitting on the couch in Howard Stern’s Sirius XM studio, talking about Ariana Grande, social media, and a bunch of other stuff. Maybe I’m an idiot or maybe I just haven’t paid attention,…
He skated into our hearts with the warmth of a ray of sunshine, orange fur vibrant in the arena lights. His name is like a seductive whisper in our ear: Gritty. He’s the new mascot for the Philadelphia Flyers (that’s hockey), an undeniable talent and, somehow, our first true fall crush.
Once, you were young and your heart was an open book. You were gifted with cool and colorful stickers for virtually everything you did, which was virtually nothing: not crying at the doctor’s office, learning the order of the alphabet, behaving. At that age, stickers were plentiful and they were also currency, a…
I can’t remember which coworker of mine recommended it. Billy or Giri, I think, but maybe both. But after watching the first episode of Japanese reality show Terrace House, which is basically Japan’s Real World, I was hooked. The show’s appeal is simple: you get to watch young attractive people hang out together in a…
As we near the one-year mark of the public accusations against Harvey Weinstein—that he serially assaulted women; that he used his power to avoid any consequences for doing so—and the subsequent spread of the nationwide #MeToo movement, we are also facing its backlash. The initial ramifications were widespread and…
In 2015, a group of feminist activists in China planned to commemorate International Women’s Day by handing out stickers calling out sexual harassment on subways and buses in cities throughout the country. For several years, they had been engaging in provocative performance art—acts of consciousness-raising that…
At 1 p.m. eastern, people across the country walked out in solidarity with Christine Blasey Ford and Deborah Ramirez. The hashtag #BelieveSurvivors was used by politicians, actors, students, and regular people to capture the scene and hold together a network of protests in support of these two women and in solidarity…
Weezer, the jolly power pop-punk band of nerd misogynists, got absurdly lucky with this one. In June, Rivers Cuomo and crew covered Toto’s 1982 hit “Africa” as the result of a months-long Twitter campaign by an Ohio teenager named Mary and her hashtag, #WeezerCoverAfrica. Her efforts paid off and Weezer recorded a…
It has recently come to my attention, by me, that Hedi Slimane could be Slenderman.
It’s another end of another era: Celine Dion has announced that her current residency at the Caesars Palace Colosseum venue in Las Vegas will come to a close on June 8, 2019.
