Everything is stupid, and so are we. Welcome to Jezebel’s Stupidest Summer Ever, a season-long celebration of our worst, most idiotic thoughts and opinions.

Happy 4th of July! Arguably the worst American holiday, from the casual celebration of binge-drinking to the expectation of bright, shiny, gunpowder blasts launched into the sky after the aforementioned binge-drinking. I love a mayo-based summer salad BBQ party as much as the next person, but surely there’s a better…

Remember the disastrous Fyre Festival in which rich people were lured to the Bahamas for a luxury music festival and instead were trapped there to eat cheese slices in styrofoam and fight off wild dogs? Hell yeah you do! And now I know you’ll be wishing you went to that absolute failure of a festival.

A judge has dismissed the copyright lawsuit against bestselling novelist Emma Cline, reports The Guardian.

Rod Dreher is a conservative Christian columnist and a hot take-writer in a unique and very strange class of his own. His latest attempt was a column about Anthony Bourdain’s death (oh no), which tried to tie sin, suicide, transgender identity and witchcraft together (oh nooo), all stuffed into a piece of writing so…

The Trump administration wants colleges to adopt a so-called race-blind (read: racist) approach to college admissions, effectively revoking an Obama administration policy that encouraged schools to consider race in the admissions process as a means of creating more diverse campuses.

Listen, it happens. Some of us ghost on stuff we don’t wanna do and people we’re not into from time to time: Tinder messages, drinks sometime with that middle school “friend” you ran into again, your own wedding the day of, hey, whatever! Maybe, like this one stranger from Pennsylvania, you’ve ghosted on something for…

Welcome to Barf Bag, a daily politics roundup to help you sort through the chaotic Trumpian news cycle.

I joined the staff of Gawker the same day that a Florida jury awarded Hulk Hogan a $140 million judgment against my new employer. This followed a trial in which one of my best friends was asked on TV whether she’d ever slept with her boss, and what we would later learn was a covert campaign by Silicon Valley…

Search your heart, you know it to be true: Cetaphil both looks and feels exactly like cum.

It can be exasperating to watch TV journalists struggle (or not bother) to shut down slippery and sexist/racist politicians, but when it’s done right, it’s oh so right. That’s what makes veteran Australian journalist Virginia Trioli’s handling of libertarian senator David Leyonhjelm so deeply satisfying to watch—a…

This Sunday, I got the worst cold I’ve gotten in three years, forcing me to become a mouth breather. My lips are chapped, I have a cold sore, and I keep snorting to keep mucus from running into my mouth. Plus, I have some kind of stomach virus that’s making me feel like I desperately have to poo but simultaneously…

The chaos of reality TV is an addiction so comfortable, so absolute that anything less tends to feel abnormal. The barefaced fabrication of Love and Hip-Hop, the demure, petty drama of Real Housewives—it’s all easily digestible. But recently, my heart has pulled me in a polar direction, toward a show with an…

Nearly a decade before Samantha Hunt published her haunting novel Mr. Splitfoot and years before The Invention of Everything Else was shortlisted for the Orange Prize, she published The Seas, a poetical and ghostly novel about a girl stuck in a seaside town struggling with the nature of identity and language.…

Frankly, I am developing a case of superhero fatigue, and if it doesn’t involve Black Panther, Wonder Woman, or my beautiful outer-space husband Thor, I’m struggling. But I would be delighted to make an exception for a movie about plus-size telekinetic teen Faith Herbert.

In a forthcoming interview with Australian talk show host Andrew Denton, actor Guy Pearce suggests that Kevin Spacey was “handsy” with him on the set of 1992's L.A. Confidential, the Guardian reports. 

We are in the midst of what many are calling the worst refugee crisis since World War II, yet refugees and asylum seekers around the world are facing increasingly harsh restrictions. The latest crackdown: German leaders have now announced plans to build a series of migrant detention camps (excuse me, “transit…

Amazon’s really ramping up the deals this week in preparation for Prime Day. You can save on a whole bunch of Amazon’s own brands of food, beauty, coffee, vitamins, and more. If you’re looking for some suggestions, I’d check out these laundry detergent packs, and this wide selection of coffee. Most of these products…

The Trump administration has no idea how to begin reuniting the more than 2,000 children it forcibly separated from their parents at the border, despite a court order that requires the Department of Heath and Human Services’s Office of Refugee Resettlement to reunite children under the age of 5 with their parents by…

There are two types of celebrities in this world, per the reporting I’m seeing this week: celebrities who spend at least $100,000 a month on deliveries from Postmates, and celebrities who don’t. After reading a story in Radar Online Monday morning, I figured Jessica Simpson was the latter. Radar Online? I didn’t place…

Last year, it was announced that Jay-Z was producing (along with a pre-disgraced Weinstein Company) a docuseries based on the life and death of Trayvon Martin. Having landed at the Paramount Network, the trailer for the six-episode series, Rest in Power: The Trayvon Martin Story, is here.

Senator Susan Collins is receiving a loud and clear message about the potential Supreme Court nominees she should and should not support, with pro-choice advocates having taken to sending coat hangers to her office as a statement about the risks of overturning Roe v. Wade.

Few bright spots have successfully penetrated the indefatigable bleakness that has defined the last several weeks. But just when it seemed like the country was completely out of redeeming qualities, an unapologetic democratic socialist congressional candidate named Alexandria Ocasio-Cortez made mince meat out of…
