[Hello Trash Pandas! It’s me, Elinor Jones, writing to you from a brief sabbatical. I’m sorry, but I have to rest my one puny brain cell from time to time or this whole damn system falls apart. I’ll be back soon to gossip all about living legends, dying senators, and everything in between. Until then, […]

THE TRASH REPORT: Celebrating America with Flag Cakes, Fair Food, and French Fries
Hello, and welcome to the Trash Report! I’m Elinor Jones and I’m so glad you’re here. My birthday was over the weekend, so you reading this right now is akin to singing me “Happy Birthday”—as in it’s a brief spell of attention that will make both of us feel good. But instead of enjoying cake, […]
THE TRASH REPORT: The President’s Ancient, My He-Man Gay, Paltrow’s Bleak, and Blazers Chic
Hello, Trash Pandas! Welcome back to the Trash Report. I’m Elinor Jones, coming in hot, as in, it is hot outside, and I am hot. I am an Oregonian and I get whiny when the temperature falls outside of my preferred 45-75 degree range. (Climate change has made me more unbearable than usual, which is […]
THE TRASH REPORT: With Liberty and Sweaty Shirtless Men for All!
Hello, and welcome to another Trash Report! I’m your girl, Elinor Jones. You’ll notice that this edition is exceptionally queer, and that is because it will appear in our upcoming printed Queer Issue. Look for it on newstands (do we still have those?) soon! And you may be wondering, “Elinor, I am not queer, will […]
THE TRASH REPORT: On Sweatpants, Underpants, and Toilets (But Cute!)
Hello, Trash Pandas! Welcome to another Trash Report. I am the garbage mother, Elinor Jones, here to regale you with gossip and the news.

THE TRASH REPORT: Hot Music Goss for Hot Days, Plus Jimmy Carter, FDR, and Cardi B Makes Three
Hello, Trash Pandas! Welcome to another Trash Report. I’m your girl Elinor Jones, coming to you with this extra ~musical~ edition of steaming hot gossip. So like, pretend I’m singing to you.

THE TRASH REPORT: Like a Prayer from a ’90s Movie or a Prayer for Pop Goddesses in Lingerie
Hello, and welcome to another Trash Report! I’m Elinor Jones and it’s so nice to see all of you with what limited vision I have remaining after rubbing my itchy eyes shut in this glorious springtime that is trying to kill me.

THE TRASH REPORT: Bryon Noem’s Huge Balloon Jugs, and Other Sundries
Hello, trash panda baby angels, and welcome to another Trash Report. I am Elinor Jones, back from Spring Break vacation and ready to make “person who has been to Japan” into my entire personality.

THE TRASH REPORT: Tacky Columns, Tacky Shoes, and Zach Braff Said WHAT?!
Hello Trash Pandas, and welcome to another Trash Report! I’m Elinor Jones.

THE TRASH REPORT: Rashes, Wigs, Zendaya’s Wedding, and Timothee’s Breakfast
Hello, hello! Time for another Trash Report. I’m Elinor Jones. The human world—it’s a mess. If we don’t make fun of it I think we become complacent in it? Or at least apathetic. And I, for one, prefer to be regular pathetic, thank you very much. Let’s gossip! Hail to the Rash Donald Trump started […]
THE TRASH REPORT: Men in Jail, Men on Ice, and Cardi B in Portland
Hellllooooo, sweet baby angel Trash Pandas! Welcome back to the Trash Report. I have missed you! My latest column was part of the Valentine’s issue, so I feel like we haven’t had one of these rambling web-only columns in ages. (Web-only columns are often more fun because the editors barely look at them and word […]
THE TRASH REPORT: Love Is Trash (Except, of Course, for Heated Rivalry)
Hello my little lovebirds! Welcome to this very special Valentine’s Day edition of the Trash Report.
