For any one of you—what was the hardest sell of all the stories you’ve ever pitched? why did you go to bat for it?

This paragraph. ‘Zionist’ as these people use it is not a ‘controversial interpretation’. They use it as a slur. It is a pejorative term that usually prefaces arguments for why it’d be legitimate to ‘let them uppity Jews in Israel get what’s coming to them. To label it as just ‘controversial’ is troubling in the way…

OIC. So the US bans movies from countries we’re at war with?
That’s normal, right?

Hey there, Trolli.
Welcome to Jezebel.com. You seem a bit angry, and I’m sorry for whatever’s happened in your life to make you that way. Anyhoo...

Ms. Sagal first had access to pills at age 12. Says she was addicted for 15 years. The article was written when she was 60. So when she claims her youthful looks are due…

You don’t get to be a person unless you’re a main character. All other characters are drawn in crayon, subordinate to the punchline, or are punchlines themselves.

I do too. But then I find this podcast compelling, and want to listen to it. I feel like I’m doing something wrong, reallly.

I may be equally out of touch, so I don’t know, but you bring up an important point.

Makeup does not ‘correct’ anything. My natural looks are not an error. Going without makeup is not letting my ‘wrong’ hang out. The dark circles under my eyes, however, are worth concealing. Once in awhile. When I feel like it.

Yes. 1000% this. I thought Willam was dead on.
I also feel like the podcaster is overstating his friendship with Richard, as he’s using it to recontextualize his stalking as concern.

Serial hit upon a very compelling podcast format. Finding Richard is successfully using it as a template. I think that’s pretty much what it is, for me.

It’s a cheap bit of manipulation—he still has a financial stake in the show http://www.huffingtonpost.com/entry/celebrity-apprentice-donald-trump_us_586baf77e4b0de3a08f96026, and by playing the wrestling heavy on Twitter, he’s drumming up ratings. Why isn’t that the angle the media’s taking? God knows.

like whoa you just blew my mind

I very much agree with you on that. I started to write a long thing explaining why, but I have to measure that against whether I’m feeling strong enough to be savaged by packs of internet wolves commenters. I am afraid of this bunch here.

...tenderize your tenderloins

Millennials to Buzzfeed: “What’s bar soap?”

“Best trick, bar none” = carve the bar to look like a bride of jesus.

...you’re welcome, fellas.

I’ve worked for nonprofits that solicit donations and am very familiar with the regulations in question.

Each state in which you solicit requires that you register with them. In most places, annually. Almost every state has their own form, requires documentation (often going beyond the 990 tax form and annual report),…

Who are the people commenting on this story?
Can Jezebel absorb the massive influx of Gawker refugees?
Their home may have been torn apart and legally dismantled, and I feel for them, but their culture is very different and I don’t know if we’re prepared to deal with their needs and values...

There are good things about Portlandia, but I’m not going to try and justify their request to take the sign down.

In a show that’s very of-the-moment comedy that I think will quickly go stale, I feel like if I rewatch it in 10 years, I’ll at least be a little bit proud of who we were in 2016.

...I hate you.
