Especially in older versions of Jezebel, the writers engaged a lot more. And then we got Gawker, and kinja, and it seemed more difficult to effectively have good comment threads.

Not as heavy the shadow cast by the superior Roxane Gay, whose shadow Lindy continues to live in.

Seems appropriately Jezebel-y to point out that Lindy is a Jezebal alumnA, not alumnUS.

Excuse me if I’m not going to go out of my way to support someone who disdains me:

my god, you’re absolutely ridiculous. have you even looked at the stats on violence in our cities?

you called me scum, you got the response you deserved. how ridiculous thinking that your anec-data proves one city is worse than all the rest of them. the sad truth is that in every single city across Canada there are racist assholes. you just didn’t run into them, where exactly? Vancouver? Toronto? Winnipeg? all…

you’re rather senseless, lol.. the asshole i responded to stated that everyone who lives in Hamilton is scum, which is fucking lazy and reactionary. the vast majority of people here are not racists, despite her anec-data. muslim communities in all north american cities have had racism and hate directed at them and…

Man, it’s going to take decades to get rid of all of the incompetent yahoos the “Harper Government” appointed when they were in office. This will be one more of them gone, anyway.

ETA: the curds must say “sqouik sqouik” when you eat them (NOT “squeak,” they must be french curds) or it’s not poutine. I feel strongly about this.

NO NO NO NO Poutine is ONLY made with cheese curds and brown gravy that the french just call “sauce.”

Poutine is cheese CURDS and gravy.

Well yes, much better than to be splitting hairs here over where the most racist assholes are.

No, I’m in Quebec. I feel for you, that merger is the last thing Albertans need.

While really technically true, and I love you for that, I feel like poutine has had a culinary broadening across this great land of ours. Now, nothing at all is like the poutine shop in QC, greasy and cheese-curdy and beef gravied deliciousness. But there are these cool poutine you can get in restaurants, some of them…

Any chance you’re in Alberta? The potential merger between the PC and Wildrose parties is stressing me out.

It can’t be poutine unless it has squeaky cheese curds. That’s the differentiator. Disco fries are good in a pinch, especially when drungry, but it’s not poutine without the curds, even if they come from Jersey rather than Quebec.

Sun Media? Lol!

In all seriousness you should give Canada a try. We have our faults but it’s a great country with great people.

I should set up a refugee camp in my back yard for jezzies who have to flee north.

It’s in Canada. The odds are he’ll shut up. There’s not much doubling down around here and no Fox News to go crying to.
