You Survived the First Year of The Trump Games! The Hot Goss is so proud of you. Frankly, we weren’t sure you could do it either, but look at you, you did it. Sure, you’re tired. And you’ve lost… Continue Reading
I set out to write a piece about the Comey hearings because they were both genuinely gripping and oddly hilarious. The idea that less than a year into a Presidency we are already grappling with the paranoia and distrust it… Continue Reading
Donald Trump announced today that the US would be pulling out of the Paris Agreement. An agreement that pushes every country around the globe (except for those two that didn’t sign: Syria which is war-torn and Nicaragua, because it wasn’t… Continue Reading
Spoiler alert: There is no secret. While doing some research* for a project, I stumbled across an article where former child actor and life-long crush object Drew Barrymore said she’d never let her kids act. Drew was concerned that her… Continue Reading

The first three episodes of The Handmaid’s Tale, based on the book of the same name, were released on Hulu this week. And if you haven’t read the book, then get out from under that rock and go read it.… Continue Reading
Look, I know The Daily Mail is absolutely reprehensible bile. You don’t get to be the UK’s primer mid-market tabloid by doing in-depth think pieces about The Global History of France or the human network behind the Snowdon leak. You do… Continue Reading
Condescending and rude? Check. Failed attempt at humor? Check. Light sprinkle of bro-accented superiority? Check-y Checkington. You’ve just met Chod. Chod is the fucking WORST, mostly because Chod doesn’t know he’s the worst. In fact, he typically thinks he’s “the funny… Continue Reading
I watched the Dave Chappelle Netflix specials last night. And, first, I gotta say, it was a lot better than I thought it would be. Granted my expectations were supremely low. Chappelle has been doing shows on and off for… Continue Reading
Welcome to my new column, Hollywood is Pissing Rebecca Off. For my first installment we will explore two articles that were brought to my attention by my friend, John Tyler. Join me, won’t you, as we look at how these… Continue Reading
Depression ya’ll. It’s like the bitchiest of bitches. I’ve had depression for basically as long as I can remember. In junior high I was the queen of telling my mom that my life was literally over. We all thought I… Continue Reading
America doesn’t know what to do with the Kansas City Chiefs. It’s bad enough that in an era of technocratic, rules-skirting “gamesmanship” they play the kind of old-school football most commonly seen in static-y newsreels. This franchise, the perennial stepchild of the… Continue Reading
In the last scene of Rogue One, we see Carrie Fisher as early Leia, all cgi’d up. And, while it was cringeworthy cgi, it was also kind of cool to see. I went to see Rogue One on Tuesday night. It was… Continue Reading
Whether you agreed with what the faithless electors were doing or not, one thing is for sure: the vote thrust Faith Spotted Eagle into the national spotlight. Robert Satiacum of Washington, a member of the Puyallup tribe, opted to go against the… Continue Reading

Kris Jordan and the state of Ohio for secretly passing a bill we all now know as the “heartbeat bill” – fuck ya’ll. Tagged at the bottom of another bill, HB 493, which is supposed to protect children against abuse and… Continue Reading
But really, this post goes out to any man who tries to discount what women experience. Yes, Bures’ excerpt in Slate had a very clickbait-y title but that doesn’t mean a travel writer, who also happens to be a person that… Continue Reading
You may not know our WOTD’s name, but you for sure know her by her movement – #BlackLivesMatter. Alicia Garza is one of three founders, all women, of BLM. Something that started from her Facebook post “Black people. I love… Continue Reading
Full disclosure: I have never seen an episode of Gilmore Girls. I have never had the impulse to “watch” via plot summaries (my chosen approach for Game of Thrones) nor have I “tried and just couldn’t get through it.” I… Continue Reading
We Americans are all aware of the Pilgrim’s first Thanksgiving story in one iteration or another. We all made the construction paper hand turkeys in school and put on pageants washing over some of the more violent moments. But it turns… Continue Reading
