This week’s episode of The Bachelor cursed us with another classic trauma dump date.

We’re smack dab in the middle of the biggest surge of the covid pandemic, hospitals are overrun, and finding a rapid test is harder than landing a boyfriend these days, so naturally we have another news story about a rich, white, male athlete refusing to get vaccinated while the institution for which he plays does absolutely nothing about it.

Netflix’s Squid Game has become one of the streaming service’s most-watched shows and unsurprisingly, pop culture’s most recent obsession (that and a 13-year-old pug named Noodle that predicts the outcome of your day).

We’ve all been there: a few weeks/months into dating someone and you aren’t quite sure where things stand.

If you’ve spent any time on social media over the past few weeks, you have probably noticed that wedding season is back with a vengeance, because apparently every postponed wedding from last year is taking place right the fuck now.

I’ve been a reluctant member of Bachelor Nation for close to seven years now.

Can you believe that just a week ago I was over here thinking that this season of The Bachelor’s biggest racism problem was a few fragile white girls bullying the other contestants?

We love to see two villains get sent home in one episode.

I’ve been a Bachelor fan for over seven years, and while our relationship has always been one-sided — me committing every Monday night to the show and getting nothing but broken engagements in return—I may finally be close to reaching my breaking point.

Life under quarantine has been...

It was pretty clear, even before Super Tuesday, that Elizabeth Warren was not going to be the Democratic Party’s nominee.

Whether you're a passionate sports fan, a casual observer or you can't tell golf from basketball, if you aren’t following the US Women’s National Team (USWNT) as they dominate the Women’s World Cup like the Kardashian’s do a news cycle, then you are really missing out.

The Bachelor franchise is not an easy one for a liberal, Jewish, feminist in her early 30’s (also known as me), to watch.

Typically, the only sport I would consider myself a true follower of is The Bachelor (don’t try to tell me it’s not a sport - it is, they just play with people’s emotions instead of balls.) But this year, the GOAT of all GOAT’s, Serena Williams - has turned me into a tennis fan.

We are five weeks into Arie’s season of The Bachelor and I am fairly confident that he is the worst.

By now we all know that being on The Bachelor or its adjacent shows is simply a gateway to finding love becoming a D-List celebrity.
