But the quality of the commentariat remained pretty damn good.

Depressing but not surprising. Been waiting for this since G/O and Herb took over.
I started reading Gawker every day around 20 years ago when I still lived in NYC, probably more for the local gossip than anything else. When I moved to the other side of the world, it was one way I maintained a connection to “home” at the time.
This is, indeed, a bag of dirt since y’all are shuttering the site. Dodai made me a ‘starred’ commenter back in the early days of Jez. I have fond memories from Anna Holmes’s leadership up until the present day. Even though I’ve found the latest iteration of the site hard to swallow at times, it’s still been a…
Pajiba, Lainey, and the Mary Sue are all good.
I’ll miss Jezebel. I’ve been on it since 2009.
Wow. That just hit me like a punch in the throat. Devastated for the staff, their families, and these who genuinely engaged with the site over the years. I’ve been commenting for about ten years now. Jezebel has been part of my daily online life for a decade. Ugh.
Well shit.
The actors strike ends (pending a vote) and Jez gets shut down for good. Thanks for the memories Jez.
Lindsey Graham literally called on Israel to level Gaza. Nikki Haley asked Israel to “finish them.” These are literal calls for genocide, but that’s totally cool with Congress. Fuck these hypocrites.
0/10. Troll harder.
Do Palestinians have a right to defend themselves? Because the blockade that Israel has been enforcing against Gaza is an act of war according to international law.
I mean, Israel started it back in 1948. Even earlier if you wanna count the initial colonization . . .
Israel has not proven who who hit the hospital. They say they didn’t do it, and their imperial benefactors in the US government back them up. But they’ve only proffered up two pieces of evidence. One was a video of a rocket that further analysis by the NY Times (a mouthpiece for the US State Department) showed could…
Ah yes, “they started it.” The most elegant of arguments.
The Tone Police have spoken.
Yeah, still don’t get your point, not really interested in it anymore. Enjoy.
Completely disgraceful for democrats to do that to their own for speaking the truth.
I’m not seeing the double standard.
I don’t understand what everyone thought she’d say? As a Palestinian-American, she has every right to express her point of view. No one should expect her to be anything less than true to herself. She has family in the West Bank. Others in Congress have said worse. Others in Congress would be irate if their stance was…
