Donald Trump Jr. has spent the last few years successfully pivoting from Large Adult Business Son and Apprentice judge to right wing tryhard who tweets shit like “liberalism is a disease.” But while his Twitter account often provides a one-dimensional view of Trump, his Instagram account paints a broader portrait.

I no longer have a Christmas stocking because my mother and I respect each other too much, but I did have one for many years. The very best presents I ever received in that stocking were warm socks and clementines.

As I write this, I do not know what Fortnite is, really, at all. I think that it is a video game? An app, maybe? Kind of like Candy Crush, only for bigger nerds? Well, this morning, when I grudgingly reviewed the end-of-year stats published by Pornhub, heretofore referred to as The Media-Savvy Tube Site Behemoth That…

Do you remember the time Samantha Bee called Ivanka Trump a feckless cunt? We almost didn’t. But even more importantly, do you remember the time DirtCast was joined by Jo Livingstone and their delightful British accent to discuss the word cunt? Now that’s something we could never forget.

The housewives are hustlers and their best…

On Tuesday night, Christine Blasey Ford made a rare public statement when she presented former gymnast Rachael Denhollander with Sports Illustrated’s Inspiration of the Year award.

Google has long taken over what is probably a critical part of all our brains, like the one that encourages us to think in complete sentences when we have a question. (Catch me clumsily punching “roasted carrots oven 400 degrees how long” into my phone roughly once every few months.) The inquiries we pop into this…

You already know about the fight that went down on Tuesday between House Minority Leader Nancy Pelosi, President Trump, Vice President Pence, and Senate Minority Leader Chuck Schumer. (Wall.)

“Lay off the booze” is a great old-timey phrase that doesn’t get used enough, but Ellen Pompeo is very Out Here these days (RuPaul’s Drag Race judge? Hellurrr!). Us Weekly is extremely careful to note that when Ellen quote-tweeted the Kathie Lee and Hoda Twitter account for what she seemed to think misrepresented her …

No one wants to be Donald Trump’s chief of staff, including his current chief of staff, John Kelly. But does anyone want to be his chief of friend?

This year, Cher got to attend the opening night of a Broadway musical about her life, was the main selling point for the new Mamma Mia! movie, and continued her world class Twitter performance. And yet, if Cher is to be believed—which in all cases she must and shall be—she is only becoming more ambitious and…

What is casual for Pete Davidson? The man (and thirsty boy) was just engaged to Ariana Grande for four months that consumed headlines like an amorous furnace, so I’d really like to know where the bar is.

Pageants are in general vile tools of the patriarchy, but I can never muster up total disdain for Miss Universe because a major portion of its existence is international pride cosplay in the form of its National Costume Show.
