Yes, but often it's easy to delude oneself into believing one acts behind a veil of Internet immunity, said Generikerik to TyrannosaurusBLOODBATH.

Was he wearing a pinky ring?

Either the massive amount of hair product or the blatant victim-blaming of a child alone would be enough to suggest that there is irony at play here. Combine the hair gel with the grotesque misogyny and I am convinced that this was a performance piece. This man is surely an actor playing a vile, douchebag lawyer. No…

I wanted to check local coverage of this horrific story. Beyond the KC Star, the local media have said almost nothing. In looking, I uncovered this heartbreaking story about the family from 2007. The father, a physician, was killed when he crashed his truck on a snowy road. Then 9 year-old Daisy was riding in the…

Professor Liz Lemon already figured all this out a couple of years ago:

Is the "Girl Thorpe" appellation a wry meta-comment on the specifically masculine Gil Thorpe character and the broad genius of Rob Riggle's play with masculine stereotypes generally? If so, brilliant!

I know! Phil is great; I don't get how that guy has never made it before now. The rest of the show is unwatchable, except for the married-with-children guy. The 4th wall technique is beyond annoying and fake.

Very effective take-down; thanks. I do wish, however, when eviscerating click-bait articles like the WaPo one here, you wouldn't include the link. Just tell people: "I'm not providing a link because I don't want to increase their traffic."

Exactly what I was thinking. What I envisioned in my head in the .47 seconds between the point that the image and scenario registered and the lips met will scar my psyche for the rest of my life and was much worse than the reality. Without any intent to do so, I imagined them closing their eyes, KLG tilting her head…

She really needs to report this to the police. Clearly this is a pattern for him. Most PDs keep files on subjects of complaints in order to head this kind of thing off before it gets violent.

I know. She needs to get a TRO right now.

If he's 6'6", he has to weigh at least 250. Plus, he would include his bench press.

In all fairness, my habits may have skewed the numbers for this region.

Holy, crap, I am so busted.

Actually, they've started winning games. I fear there is more than just a coincidence of correlation between big time success and acts of violent impunity in college athletics. The latitude university administrators give successful coaches seems to be almost total. It's no surprise then that with zero accountability…

Jezebel headline writer, I wish you wouldn't perpetuate the use of "sex crimes" to describe acts of violence. I think the term "Sex crimes," is betters saved for critiques of when the state criminalizes non-normative, consensual, adult sex. What these men are alleged to have done is wrong and deserving of punishment…

Me too! I just left a post on how gross one Gawker commenter was. I had not yet seen this thread. So often the police, public, etc. have such a rigid framework for how a "real" victim should act that they distrust the story of anyone who deviates from that script.

I pretty much only read Jezebel comment makers now. All the others are too awful, including the once decent comment makers at Gawker. When one Gawker comment maker said (paraphrasing) "If she was a victim, why was she seen walking with the guy in the woods, huh? If she was being forced that would mean she was tied up…

I checked both links and did a little of my own browsing. She is guilty of hyperbole when she exaggerates the effect of Israel's policies, but otherwise I have a hard time finding where exactly she is Antisemitic.

There seems to be this budding passive-aggressive thing that's not quite trolling going on. We like to critique how victims of violence process their problems. They shouldn't recover too quickly and particularly if they seem buoyant in public we hop on that. One of the women who survived the Cleveland kidnapping…
