– From Austin Scaggs’ interview with Lana Del Rey in the new issue of Rolling Stone.
I read this about an hour after reading David Moore’s essay about Lana Del Rey, which he posted yesterday. When I read that post, I got to the point where he said “Paris Hilton’s album, in the...

Of course, my current problem with Lana Del Rey is that I literally can no longer trust any [heterosexual??] man to give a reliable reading of the image she is portraying. (Sorry guys, maybe stick to explaining how “Born to Die” sounds like Lovage; that one seems good). …

YES. This is something I’ve had a lot of trouble with in my time.
“In a New York Review of Books article, Thomas R. Edwards describes [Raymond] Carver’s fictional world as a place where “people worry about whether their old cars will start, where unemployment or personal bankruptcy are present dangers, where a good time consists of smoking pot with the neighbors.”

Haha is that world even fictional? I’m pretty sure I live in it.

– Brandon Stosuy, “Death To Black Metal.” I was nodding vehemently as I read this. A lot of what Brandon says in the quote and elsewhere in this article relates strongly to what I wrote about in my Liturgy review from a couple days ago.

As a person who lives in a right-to-work state, I can tell you that there are so many other things that go along with right-to-work legislation, all of them generally putting workers at a big disadvantage. I hate it when people talk about right-to-work states like all they do is make it easier on workers. These laws are a net negative for working people, and I wish that was discussed or explained...

So it’s kind of weird that people are now quoting me about hating Lana Del Rey. I don’t actually hate her, although I know a lot of people who do. Actually, I can count the number of people I hate on one hand—and none of them are pop stars.
The piece that I wrote about Lana Del Rey many months…
Yes, I know—another Lana Del Rey essay? And this one’s really...

anybody else shout “I’m the lizard king I can do anything” after they do something stupid?

So here’s a Jezebel post about an awful article that ran on the website for the magazine that I work for on Friday. Let me get this out there right now, for better or for worse—I edited and posted this article. The article was turned in for publication a few days in advance, but I didn’t read it until...
