The most talked-about article in Washington this week is one you have to hide from your school-age children â and one that forced a decision by Times editors to [include some pretty foul language in our report]( on the grounds that it was newsworthy coming from a senior White House official. But once you get beyond the expletives, what you learn from Ryan Lizzaâs account of a profane phone call from Anthony Scaramucci, the presidentâs new communications director, is just how riven this White House is by reality-show rivalries. Mr. Scaramucci made clear heâs intent on getting Reince Priebus, the chief of staff, voted off the island â but the question then becomes whoâs next? [THE NEW YORKER »](

Writers from the right, left and center this week were busy with lots of news to react to. First, they responded to President Trumpâs announcement barring transgender people from serving in the military. You can find that roundup [here](. Today, I collected writing from across ideologies and around the internet about the âskinny repealâ billâs failure and Anthony Scaramucciâs profanity-laced interview, recommended above. [THE NEW YORK TIMES »](

âTurning the Tables: The 150 Greatest Albums Made by Womenâ is both a list and a manifesto, a long-overdue corrective to a historical narrative of popular music that has unjustly sidelined women. The choices include the inevitable (Joni Mitchell, Beyoncé, Patti Smith, Adele, Aretha Franklin) along with the eclectic (Ofra Haza, the Slits, Diamanda Galás, Cris Williamson). And even with 150 slots, the list has omissions worth arguing over â which helps prove its point. [Ann Powersâs accompanying essay]( adds thoughtful context. [NPR MUSIC »](

In the three years since Gamergate exploded, its shock waves have continued to rumble through a wide swath of pop culture â in video games, in social media and in politics. In a new profile of Zoe Quinn, a main target of harassment at the campaignâs height, the writer Noreen Malone reflects on what it all meant and whatâs become of Ms. Quinn since. [NEW YORK MAGAZINE »](

This critique of âRough Night,â a new film about a bachelorette weekend gone wrong starring Scarlett Johansson and some of todayâs funniest women, focuses on the character of Alice, the brideâs âfat friend,â played by Jillian Bell. The film covers well-trodden ground when it comes to stereotypes about weight, to the point that Alice kills a stripper by jumping on him. The writer wasnât amused. [BITCH MEDIA »Â](
