Did you know that Robert Patterson, who currently serves as the acting associate commissioner at the Social Security Administration’s Office of Strategic and Digital Communications, has a lot of gross and hateful views? It is so surprising to find such a man with a position in the Trump administration.

I eat fruit every day, not because I am supposed to but because I want to. So far today I have eaten two clementines and some grapes. I will probably eat one, maybe two more clementines before the day is through. I have no idea if eating this much fruit is healthy and I do not care. Kill me, fruit. It’s how I wanna go…

It’s Marie Kondo’s world now, and we’re all just trying to declutter in it.

For the most part, Black Mirror is as good as it’s often hyped up to be.

At least, that’s what Condor claimed happened…

That’s Dr. Pimple Popper for you: Squishing one cherished childhood memory at a time.

Kamala Harris’s new memoir, The Truths We Hold: An American Journey, reads a lot like the kind of book a person might release while preparing for a presidential run.

Giulianna Di Lauro Velez, one of the women who said she was sexually harassed while working on the 2016 Bernie Sanders campaign, is again speaking up—this time about how political pundits and critics have manipulated these experiences to fit their own narratives.

Having voted to overturn its abortion ban with a national referendum, Ireland is beginning to implement access to the procedure. It’s now available in 22 out of 26 counties—and, despite concerns, there’s been hearteningly little backlash.

Kristen Roupenian, author of the stellar 2017 short story Cat Person about a 20-something college student named Margot who engages in an undesired, unsetting and far-too-ordinary sexual encounter with a 30-something misogynist named Robert, has written a new piece for the New Yorker describing her experiences with…

Conservatives are not the only ones who are collectively losing their goddamn minds over Alexandria Ocasio-Cortez, turns out. According to Politico, Ocasio-Cortez is “already making enemies in the House Democratic Caucus,” and “some of its members are mounting an operation” to bring her “into the fold,” which I…

Did you know that while you were eating ham and talking to your cousin Kevin about passing the final part of his CPA exam, Ivanka Trump and Jared Kushner were reportedly watching Vice in Palm Beach and then abruptly walking out? Everyone celebrates the holidays in their own way, which is beautiful.
