In a grand jury, the defense doesn’t present anything. It is the prosecutor who decides what to present. They can decide to present exculpatory evidence if they want, as prosecutors often do when putting police shootings before grand juries and other cases where they want to be seen doing something but don’t actually…

“Her attitude in not wanting to put up with fratboy sexpest behaviour just wasn’t a good fit for the GOP.”

I’m confused how a post like this could be made without mentioning both milkshakes and the ducks who love them.

I have a hard time wrapping my head around Cooke’s viewpoint that the scene is assault. I do agree it’s demeaning to Alicent, and clearly not something she’s seeking out for herself out of pleasure. But between the two characters, Alicent is by far the more powerful and to see the exchange as some type of coercion is,…

Question for the general population because I don’t want to miss the grand finale: when will Jezebel publish the winners and the noteworthy stories?

“a professional hair stylist, who told her”

This is a good quote, thank you. I tend to get pissed every time I see one of these stories, but I’ve realized that my anger really is letting perfect be the enemy of good.

Women, GTF informed about your bodies and the complications that can happen during pregnancy. This woman is a standout example of women in the anti-abortion arena. They have no idea of how a pregnancy can go horribly wrong. And during the past fifty years, this shit had gone by the wayside. If they were told that this…

It’s another case of Democrats taking the high road in a game of “punch each other in the balls”.

I’m often tempted to grumble about people who only change their minds after an issue personally affects them. It’s hard to be charitable in these cases. I find it helpful to fall back on the sentiments of one of my favorite columnists, Connie Schultz (and I’m probably badly paraphrasing her here): “We can’t ask people…

I saw an article today that touted how the federal deficit has been cut in half in the last year. IN HALF!!! How is this not in 1500 pt font on the front page of every news outlet? How is it not huge news across the entire country? Oh, because it occurred during a Democratic administration, so it just gets ignored by…

You don’t have to feel sympathy for her. Having people, doesn’t matter who, telling their stories like this is something that unfortunately needs to keep happening from now until election day because the American public has the attention span of a two-year-old, apparently.

The reality is that people like her are the only ones that actually have a CHANCE to change the minds of those around them. The voice has to come from inside the house. Conservatives have done a perfect job of created sealed echo-chambers and creating voters who automatically reject anything said by anyone they…

We the people of the Formerly Supportive Leopards Eating People’s Faces Party are proud to induct new members as long as leopards stop eating people’s faces.

How am I supposed to feel about an ardent memeber of the Leopards Eating People’s Faces Party that only changes their mind after a leopard has started gnawing on their nose?

I know that but Jez has the worst takes ever on comedy, and also not all comedy has to speak to power in order to be funny. Comedy can exist without punching up or down, like a lot of absurdist humor.
