The "get off my lawn" makes your perfect post even more perfect.

I had the exact same reaction to the "I was only playing with it" line. It was so sad, and this point seemed so important to him — as if, even beyond the horror of what happened to him (and the betrayals by his family), the injustice of being misunderstood on this point was still eating at him. It's like there's a…

Me too! And then I didn't want to tell anyone, for fear of getting an "oh, so you think everyone with an accent sounds like?" response.

Not the same thing, but this reminds me of when a taxi driver pointed to a pedi-cab and said to me, "They have a lot of those in your country, right?"

They way she knew, right away, who it was — and the utter dog happiness — and the way she stood between his legs, so that he could protect her . . . . It's all too much. There is nothing better than dog happiness.

I feel a vague sense of sympathy for her too. But then you see her calling herself a MILF, apparently without irony, and it seems like she actually feels pretty good about how she looks.

I agree with all of this. And your last line is pure, hilarious poetry.

I was wondering this too. I guess I could imagine being so deeply in denial that you convince yourself that all the victims are lying just to win money in civil lawsuits. I mean, it would be stupid and delusional and offensive, but I guess I could at least imagine that level of denial. But how does she explain away…

The expression on this dog's face is amazing.

I agree with all of this. And you know how sometimes people say things like, "I want to give this puppy all the hugs"? I want Lupita Nyong'o to win ALL THE AWARDS. I don't mean that figuratively. I want her, literally, to win every possible award (at least all the good ones) — not just because she is apparently…

Just finished reading the whole piece at the link, and I'm on the verge of actually sobbing. As a written piece, it's beautiful in both substance and in form — she is an extremely eloquent and intelligent writer — and it's also just heartbreaking. And the comments from readers who say they used to make the same…

It's like that black football player who recently came out. He said, 'I just want to be known as a football player. I don't want to be known as a gay football player.'

I'm with you about the importance of proper grammar. I hate when people who are paid to write make dumb grammatical errors. But typos don't bother me as much — they're a sign of haste rather than ignorance. And, also, if you're going to complain about people's writing, it's worth mentioning that "incredulity" is…

You are the best with the GIFs. The George-Takei-leaping-with-a-sword one from yesterday was a thing of total joy.

I know you're being sarcastic (and I kind of laugh-snorted when I read "you dirty bastards"), but — as a parent of a small child — I feel weirdly compelled to tell you that its apparently clean hair that is most attractive to lice. People who wash less often, or people who use a lot of product, are less likely to get…

You might be right, but I don't find it implausible at all that he wrote this himself — he is very well-educated and is generally considered quite intelligent and articulate.

It's really mindboggling — how rotten and poisonous must these legislators' souls be, to go to so much effort to do something so malicious and indefensible. And to do it in an age where so much progress is being made in other respects . . . it's like being the hateful bigots violently trying to block small black…

I was equally enthralled with this, so I searched and found it:

I love when there's a pet-related post on Jezebel, and people then start posting pictures of their own incredibly cute pets. I don't mean this in a snarky or sarcastic way — I sincerely love it, and will keep refreshing to see more adorable pictures. It makes me feel somewhat better about not having my own dog.

This whole thing is just horrible to think about. And considering the countless horrible things this child already has to deal with — the abusive grandmother, the deeply damaged mother, a family apparently devoid of any ability to self-reflect or to improve — the fact that Farrah wanted an abortion is probably pretty…
