Sparkling wine for special occasions? Of course. With fries? Sublime. Just because it's Wednesday? Hell yeah—now you're living. |
| Because showering without a soundtrack is unthinkable. |

The election of Donald Trump really did a number on the comedian Chelsea Handler. "It was earth-shattering," she said in a recent interview with The Hollywood Reporter. "It woke me up to how easy things were for me." Determined to not become "one of those people who stands by and doesn't say anything," Handler underwent a massive, multi-year self-improvement project, which she showcased in three, separate Netflix projects: the 2016 documentary series Chelsea Does, featuring hour-long episodes on topics like "marriage" and "racism"; her short-lived late-night talk show, Chelsea; and the 2019 documentary, Hello, Privilege. It's Me, Chelsea, a surface-skimming exploration into how white privilege operates in America. |

No matter how many times it happens, I'm still excited every time I get my hands on an advance reading copy of a book that has yet to be published. How thrilling to turn to page one with almost no idea what I'm in for, before review coverage has begun, before any overly enthusiastic friend gives too much away. When I received a galley of Gone Girl in 2011, I had no preconceived notions. I was certainly not primed to expect a perfectly paced and perfectly nuanced he said/she said story, especially not one with an audacious plot twist that strikes right smack in the middle of the book and absolutely blows up every word that has come before. I had never read anything quite like it. I still have never read anything like it. Although now, ten years after the official publication of Gone Girl, many others have tried to emulate its style and edge. |
