Love is a battlefield

A warm welcome

Food is an important part of life. We need to eat to live. It's a necessary part of survival for most living things. But humans have made eating into something of an affair. Somewhere between when we were hunter-gatherers and when we started obsessively Instagramming our meals before eating them, food surpassed its purpose as sustenance. These days, preparing or eating food is a ritual. It's a form of celebration, a way to show love. It's trendy and it's sometimes seen as a status symbol. Peopl…

There's no hope

We've said it before, and we'll say it again: People need to stop falling for engagement-baiting food videos. If you think you don't know what we're talking about, I'm sorry, but yes you do. We're referring to those videos where some heavily made-up housewife slathers her kitchen island with nacho cheese as some sort of entertainment hack. We're talking about the bastardization of Italian recipes, and people pouring cheese over things that have no business being so lactose-ified. Unfortunately,…

It's mighty strange

As someone who does not have children (and will likely never have them) it's easy for me to laugh about certain aspects of parenting culture. Gender reveals are not only stupid but have proven to be deadly. Weekly and monthly photoshoots of babies seem, well, unnecessary to me. And then there's the whole referring to your kids age by month even when you can actually just say “he's four.” These habits have been ridiculed nearly to death, and frankly, the mockery is nearly boring. But every now a…

A lawless land

Over the past few years there have been a lot of jokes about living in communal situations in cities like Portland, Oregon and New York City. We've seen people reject roommates based on their astrological signs (Sorry, Capricorns). We've seen memes about roommates with trust funds named ‘Sock.’ Today we are covering something that is entirely worse.

It feels like a hundred years have passed since I first watched Mad Men, which, along with The Sopranos, seems to have altered the trajectory of television. I wasn't even 21 when the first episode aired, but it still made me want to swig whiskeys and martinis and chain smoke my way through the workday. The fact of the matter is that the behavior on the show, especially from Don Draper, is problematic. Because it is set in a different era, and I was really young when Mad Men first aired, it was…

Marlon Brando was a legend. Unless you're part of “Generation Alpha,” chances are you loved him in The Godfather, On the Waterfront, Look how they massacred my boy.

Barbz rule the internet

Being an Airbnb hater is a big part of who I am and what I do. I distinctly recall being on a family vacation, waiting outside in freezing weather for over an hour for the owner of the apartment to give my family the key. The owner drove a moped and I could tell that he did not feel sorry, not one bit. The best Airbnb experience I had was at a place virtually identical to a hotel, and honestly, that doesn't even count. Despite my bitterness, Airbnb's used to be novel and fun as a concept for mo…
