Bethenny Frankel is the true queen of the Real Housewives, and her TikTok is just as good as Bravo. Mostly it’s Bethenny looking hot and reviewing beauty products with profanity and gusto, but lately, for whatever reason, she’s also started reviewing things like… fast food coffee and cans of tuna? It’s brilliant and batshit. Sometimes she shares her thoughts on the culture, which are the best, such as her thoughts on Harry and Meghan. I don’t like them either. But I love Bethenny.

Recently, I’ve been listening to or watching Joan Rivers standup and red carpet demolitions. She is so damn funny. I love her shockingly harsh comedic approach and roasting. My brain seems to be wired similarly to hers; mostly in her blatant honesty. She used to really speak her mind on red carpet critiques…Today everyone treads around on eggshells, it’s all so celebratory, confirming, and inclusive when it comes to fashion critiques. She was so real and hysterical as a commentator and told it like it is. I don’t think it will ever be the same again and hasn’t been since she died. I recently found a reality show she did with her daughter Melissa, called ‘Joan & Melissa: Joan Knows Best’ from 2005 on the E network, and it's just phenomenal.

I don’t know how I feel about the series because I haven’t finished watching it, but I do agree with how they low-key fumbled the martyred-Princess Diana-redemption-arc bag.
After their docu-series they abruptly fell out of the spotlight when they easily could’ve….just…..not?
I know they’re royals and shit so they can’t be on like SNL or something lmao but still. They signed a HUGE deal with Netflix and they kind of, dare I say, flopped.
Aside from the frozen penis line or whatever in Harry’s book, when was the last time you actually heard from them besides now? Right?
Maybe I’m hating; I can’t tell. I feel like this line in the article, although harsh, kind of sums it up: “It’s almost impossible to tell what is her being inept, what is her being malicious, and what is the result of eight years of misogyny and racism poisoning the well for her.”

If you miss Trump on Twitter, I suggest you make a Truth Social account for an unfiltered version of America’s greatest comedian. (Florida rapper Kodak Black is a close second). Look, Trump is obviously horrible, more specifically a white supremacist, and he was one long before he was in office, but he is also non-stop entertainment. If you can handle it, and you are funny and cool, then watch that man cook on Truth Social. He isn’t quite as funny as he once was — he is like Seinfeld after Larry David left — but Truth Social's expanded character count is good for him. You get these long ass rambles that rarely make sense, but definitely make sense if you are Trump. The other day, he “truthed” about firing someone from the military “like a dog.” Just the funniest thing ever. I might start talking like that. “I wrote a bad review of him, like a dog!”

I went to Miami for Art Basel and by the end of the weekend I was filled with hangxiety so I spent an extra day sitting on the beach reading Stephanie LaCava’s newish novel I Fear My Pain Interests You. It’s about the daughter of two punk rock stars who suffers from “congenital analgesia,” which means she feels no physical pain, and though it’s definitely not a breezy beach read, it destroyed me, in a good way.

I like a chilled red but what I really enjoy is drinking dry red wines over ice –– preferably crushed ice. I know that’s against the rules or whatever but the first boy who broke my heart in New York was a sommelier at Le Bernardin and also that’s how Diane Keaton drinks her wine so I don’t give a fuck what anyone thinks.

I moved to Greenpoint two years ago and tell everyone I live on the same block as Lena Dunham in Girls, though that’s a lie. Greenpoint has all the perks of gentrified neighborhoods (lush wine shops and lush wine bars, plus a bakery with addictive focaccia) without any of the drawbacks (Chipotle, Urban Outfitters, Equinox – for these things you just walk to Williamsburg). There’s so many good restaurants (I hate to say it but Five Leaves is perfect) and Transmitter Park. Also, there’s more aged childless hipsters than breeders in the neighborhood, and controversially, I love the G Train.
