Gordon. But as much as I liked it—and I did—I also found myself exhausted, …
A few weeks ago, I binge-watched—and really enjoyed!—both seasons of Master Of None. There were two paramount results. First: after years of being primarily fixated on Evan Rachel Wood and Kristen Stewart, Aziz Ansari is now the only male celebrity to whom I am attracted. Secondly, I have not stopped listening to “Say…
Millions of people exist in New York City only to be ignored in plain sight, to live in our peripheral.

Aziz Ansari is pretty much having the greatest week ever. First, his hit Netflix show Master of None won Best Comedy at the Critics’ Choice Television Awards.

Long long loooooooong before Kim Kardashian “broke the internet” with that Paper cover featuring her pouring champagne into her butt, Gwyneth Paltrow broke the internet by pouring verbal champagne into our collective butts. At least, that’s the way our Lady of Goopelupe tells it.
