I know someone who worked at an event for Kaling’s book and said Mindy was super friendly and hung out with all of the employees after the event, so she’s nice sometimes!

My mom terrified Tim Allen, once. She was shrieking at my dad (“Alan! ALAN!”) and naturally, dude thought she meant “Allen.” He bolted. She never noticed he’d been standing next to us.

Maybe because she’s been asked the same questions about her race and gender enough that she’s tired of them? She probably wants to just be considered on the merits of whether she’s funny or not (as would be accorded to any white, male comedian), rather than have to be the Curry Girl Poster Child?

He wasn’t a dick or anything, but I was once walking near Seth Meyers in the same direction and he kept looking back at me all panic-stricken like I was stalking him or something.

Why the snark?

My brother-in-law entered the military three years ago. He does just fine. You’re leaving out the fact that housing and full medical are in addition to compensation (without employer deductions for the entire family, deductibles or co-pays). Plus they get groceries cheaper at the commissary. They get discounts on cell…

IDK. my bffs brother was a marine, just a regular one, and he bought multiple vehicles in the time he was enlisted. They don't pay rent. Not saying they're rolling in it but I think a tip for a server is probably manageable.

Is that supposed to be funny?

Buuuut, if you can afford to pay $60 for a tab, you should give more than a quarter for a tip.

I mean, its unacceptable not to tip, but, also it happens so you gotta deal sometimes.

If you can’t afford to tip appropriately, you can’t afford to eat out.

Yeah, the hed and lede were both really buried here. Despite what Law & Order would have you believe, any company with even the most incompetent legal team on retainer is going to require a subpoena. It’s not an act of “not cooperating”; it’s just how this works.

Sounds more like the article should be titles “NYPD Took Nearly A Week To Request Name of Sexually Harassing Driver”. It doesn’t bother me that Uber requires either a subpoena or for the NYPD to fill out the emergency request form. It bothers me that the NYPD took so long to request it.

Totally! This is definitely your area of expertise and not mine, but I think some of it is coded fetishization of racism (“the Antebellum South was a simpler time when everybody knew their place”; Blake Lively’s stupid plantation thing.) And part of it is Southerners trying to encourage non-Southerners to associate…

I hate to be this person but, at least in pets, which have a relatively small life expectancy in comparison to humans, it has be proven to take away years from their life if they are overweight. I found out my dog gained weight after his first bday and immediately switched him to "light" food and he has been great…

So my children will have home made clothes, moderately expensive food and will go ape-shit for cheese.

There's no grand statement or link. We've just never used them. Simply put, our headlines and intro text are meant to clearly convey where the content of each post is heading.

The site aims to make the story content clear in the headline and intro text. It's not uncommon to see people complaining about the lack of a trigger warning inside a Jezebel news story, but I don't remember any cases where I didn't think, "Fair enough, but why did you click this headline with the word "rape" in the…

Good article, Tracy!
