I’ve been saying this at least once a week now:

Also, maybe a fringe opinion, but what sort of a loon would even want to brag about it in the first place? “Nyah nyah nyah nyah, we made up an institution that fails outright in half of all attempts, and traps half of the remainder in a loveless, soul-crushing quagmire they can’t afford to escape.”  Big ups?  

“inviting God’s judgment on our nation when we shake our fist at Him and say, “We know better than you as to what constitutes a marriage””

Can you send me an email at prachi@jezebel.com? I’d like to potentially look into this further. 

Not nearly as egregious, but after being a long time TA contributor (and highly ranked in their ridiculous system because of that), I have backed off of the platform in the last few months after an incident, too.

In fact, I asked one of them, “Oh, would you two like to sit together?” and she said, “No, I like the aisle seat and he likes the window seat.” 

once again, conservative christian fundamentalists saying the quiet part loud

What does wanting your partner to be healthy have to do with misogyny?

And in the most obviously yet still disgustingly sexist reply I’ve ever actually gotten on Jezebel, we have wokeandtoke:

Gita, thank you. I can’t say I always see eye to eye with staff writers, but I can wholeheartedly say that Kotaku is a better place for having you here and that your efforts make a difference, each and every day. Your perspectives matter and it makes all of us a little smarter, more empathetic, and wiser each read. Tha

Yeah he needs to take a few big steps back right now. I think most people know there’s a whole slew of evidence they haven’t released, as well they shouldn’t. Smollett’s only play right now, before the actual trial, is a PR blitz to try and refute the evidence that’s been released in the court of public opinion. And

I’ve been trying to recall the last time a police officer in his position was making the rounds like this on an active case pushing their narrative this aggressively. Before the case even went to trial.

Yeah it seems completely inappropriate and not routine. It is going to make finding a jury that hasn’t been biased by media difficult.

Chicago PD also has a rich history of killing people and covering it up, and operating a quasi extrajudicial torture center but WHO CAN NEVER BE SURE.  

I just can’t get over the fact that Johnson is STILL talking - on a tv morning interview yet. This does not seem appropriate to me. I think the public knows as much as they need to know until the man goes to trial.

Are we racist? Sure. But this specific time it wasn’t us”

This right here. Mandy is a perfect example of not forgiving someone (or I don’t get the sense she has) but not being mired in hate and anger either. She’s very empirical about the whole thing, and I admire her for it.

Mandy is definitely speaking a truth a lot of women can identify with. I think most of us have dated a Ryan Adams, myself included.

It definitely sounds like Mandy Moore is accessing therapy and has such a good head on her shoulders. More power to her, forget about the ‘bad guys’ who did bad - and let’s focus on the people who are so resilient, who learn from their experiences, and seem ready to hold people accountable without dragging them
