here in carroll gardens katie roiphe is still a horrible writer and person btw
cobble at least has a slight slant down from the north. there's an intriguing clash between hipsters' gowanus and developers' boerum for naming rights to that otherwise unassuming/affordable area

if katie roiphe is a feminist i am not.
― horseshoe, Thursday, 10 November 2011 06:03 (twelve years ago) link
she is really quite stupid too
― max, Thursday, 10 November 2011 06:04 (twelve years ago) link
she's the worst
― horseshoe, Thursday, 10 November 2011 06:04 (twelve years ago) link
the other week she got really resentful about a gawker post from 2007 and declared us not as funny as dorothy parker

u think so?
― max, Thursday, 10 November 2011 06:08 (twelve years ago) link
haha i like how she compares herself to joan didion in that actually it makes me deranged-level angry
― horseshoe, Thursday, 10 November 2011 06:09 (twelve years ago) link
you suck, katie roiphe
horseshoe if u ever come to nyc we can do a drive-by on roiphe where she lives in park slope
― max, Thursday, 10 November 2011 06:10 (twelve years ago) link
not with guns or anything, just drive by her slowly mean mugging
i'm in. i actually just want to scream at her to get some damn therapy about whatever she's mad at her mom abuot and stop writing anti-feminist claptrap. or just stop writing full stop.

wait so is Brooklyn on an island or not
― whoop, up the butt it goes (silby), Thursday, 10 November 2011 06:11 (twelve years ago) link
also what is "the Bronx"
brooklyn is on an island bisected by a huge canal--one one side is "brownstone brooklyn" (made of brown stones) on the other side is "boerum hill"
― max, Thursday, 10 November 2011 06:13 (twelve years ago) link
wouldn't that mean it is now *two* islands?
― whoop, up the butt it goes (silby), Thursday, 10 November 2011 06:14 (twelve years ago) link
east egg and west egg amirite
yes the side called boerum hill is also known as manhattan
― max, Thursday, 10 November 2011 06:14 (twelve years ago) link
its funnie but i guess p obv that a key to being katie roiphe is that youd never really consider whether you are, in fact, deeply terrible

man its bumming me out to find out that ppl dont think gawker is as funny as dorothy parker
― max, Thursday, 10 November 2011 06:19 (twelve years ago) link
can we focus on how katie roiphe's not fit to get joan didion's coffee?
― horseshoe, Thursday, 10 November 2011 06:20 (twelve years ago) link
haha okay at some point in that rant she refers to paradise lost which reminds me that she refers to remembrance of things past in her article about how yuppie moms aren't sexy enough, except she does so in a way that suggests she's only read the first ten pages and belle waring calls her on it. i've never read proust so this is incredibly petty of me but i hate her.
sorry, this thread is supposed to be about something.

A couple weeks ago in some thread I tried to troll the bay by saying Oakland was a suburb of San Francisco and the only person who even responded was iatee dorking out on what like his definition of a 'suburb' is - and now look at this shit people can't even casually conflate two adjacent downtown Brooklyn neighborhoods w/o the thread police cracking heads - shameful
― ice cr?m, Thursday, 10 November 2011 07:16 (twelve years ago) link
I probably just fumed silently.

Btw I am a new iPad owner I blame the iPad, also I blame it for all my horrible typing from before I owned it and before it existed
― ice cr?m, Thursday, 10 November 2011 07:30 (twelve years ago) link
i like it it makes it sound like you and dorothy are close and you made up a weirdly long nickname for her
― horseshoe, Thursday, 10 November 2011 07:31 (twelve years ago) link
Oh how she laughed at the weirdly long nicknames I would make up for her, 'you're funnier than I, Dorothy Parker, am' she would say
― ice cr?m, Thursday, 10 November 2011 07:35 (twelve years ago) link
is your ipad the reason you have been capitalizing the first word of your sentences? it is shocking, frankly.
― horseshoe, Thursday, 10 November 2011 07:37 (twelve years ago) link
Ha yes any unusual capitalization or punctuation is purely the iPads doing, the lil fucker
― ice cr?m, Thursday, 10 November 2011 07:39 (twelve years ago) link

Would like to meet this Roiphe lady, just to find out how insufferable she is in person.
― Kiarostami bag (milo z), Thursday, 10 November 2011 18:15 (twelve years ago) link
trust me, I've read the thread, she's insufferable
― ASPIE Rocky (dayo), Thursday, 10 November 2011 18:24 (twelve years ago) link
Just seeing "katie roiphe" and "joan didion" in the same sentence makes me grrrr

i think this probably belongs in a 'first-world problems' thread rather than a 'quiddities of the ruling class thread' but i just can't get over the picture.
