Soacey’s a huge perv but it’s more than a little clickbaity and misleading to make this story all about Kevin Spacey or imply that he had anything to do with his death. I mean, that’s probably all he’s known for to Jez staff and most of the US but that’s really just an anecdote in the larger context. This guy was a…

First and foremost he was a brilliant writer of short fiction; second, he was, his entire professional life here in Norway, bullied a lot for his speech impediment.

Warren and Bernie are nothing like Corbyn.

Iuno, I feel like you would get the same answers on Jezebel today as well. At least from a decent number of people. But that is the difference between a professional in dating related psychology and an amateur with an agenda. 

That right there is also the reason why you’re losing everyone under the age of 40: it’s not our obligation to be grateful for us not being Saudi Arabia. It’s not on us to be grateful that, in fact, our promises that we are the land of the free and the home of the brave are sometimes honored. Occasionally, for some of…

I could read this kind of thing all day. I love language and especially things like slang, idioms, etc. and the origins of words and phrases. (I also love accents, but that’s a different topic.) I used to complain about they being used as a singular until I learned it wasn’t a new usage. I also used to complain about…

I just died

Their you halve it. An other peace, wear the average, person demonstrates they’re inability, to, write, affectively. You’re points are valid, but still, its a shame to sea.

I think he intentionally gets hit by the beam, not because it wasn't avoidable, but because it was necessary. Why? We just don't know yet.

American Capitalism actively rewards sociopathy, abusive practices, and the creation of serf classes.

It’s almost like you have to be an abusive sociopath to be a CEO in modern capitalistic societies.

My MIL used to do this once she retired. She was like an Army general. She was very active in her tiny non-Catholic church and would drive around in her beat-up car brow-beating local supermarkets and food places to give her everything they were going to throw away but was still edible. Bruised fruit and vegetables.…

On a serious note, this is horrible and I’m sorry it’s happening to you (and to so many others). If you haven’t already, you might check out what your local Catholic parish might offer. Many/most parishes have outreach ministries (Sometimes called St. Vincent de Paul Society, but sometimes parishes have other names…

For some reason, Clint Eastwood and the other makers of Richard Jewell decided that the tragic story needed a retelling with the addition of a spicy suggestion that Kathy Scruggs fucked for tips.

He also strikes me as just nakedly ambitious. What need is there for him to run, what cause that he has taken up that demands that he step up to this, despite his clearly lacking in any of the qualifications (aside from being white and male)? Castro for instance clearly has a cause he feels he needs to step up over,…

While I agree that *some* Catholics may have contributed, I think that you might be missing the mark here. Catholic laypeople in the US are on average more liberal than the Catholic church itself, and also most of the Religious Right. America has always had a strong tradition of recreating our Christianity in order to…

I know at this point I shouldn’t be, but I’ll forever be shocked at the right’s ability to take liberal talking points and flip & pervert them to further their bigotry. In this case, they saw how well Conversion Therapy was uniformly demonized as child abuse and are now trying to use the same argument against trans…

Just the way I like it.

I look forward to the new Golden Girls reboot.

I thought I was lactose intolerant for a few years.  I cut out carbs and added in some more full fat dairy and never had an issue.  Trash milk is definitely bad.
