So the NYT pulled a “Bad folks on both sides” argument as it related to the literal kidnapping and imprisonment of toddlers vs the people who didn’t like the literal kidnapping and imprisonment of toddlers?

Right?! And then the lovely emo / pop punk boys arrived, murderously angry at women. And the allegations from that era are only JUST starting to trickle out...

I’ve only sort of realized how absolutely gross being a teenagers in the late 90s/early 00s were. With dicks like Adam Corolla, Girls Gone Wild/girls making out for men’s entertainment, heroin chic models, etc, I know I spent a loooooooong time unconsciously internalizing some really shitty messages.  It’s no wonder…

When somebody is essentially saying “oh, every relationship is a *little* toxic/abusive” I know that person speaking is toxic and an abuser. I have never once felt threatened by my significant other. It’s not normal.

Also, there’s no such thing as being in a relationship, where somebody couldn’t compose something that said ‘I felt threatened.’

Off topic: I decided a few weeks ago to pause my adblocker on the Kinja sites I visit, including Jezebel, because I know the financial situation you all are in and I genuinely want to support you. I enjoy this site, and if dealing with some ads helps keep GMG afloat, that’s fine.

Facebook originally started out as a vehicle for Zuck and pals to rate women who (probably) wanted nothing to do with them. Then it became a vehicle for data mining so Zuck could get rich.

Y’all... I got up and left work early today because the person who sits next to me was having a good old time laughing up a storm about how “now they’re just going to be all together in bigger cages.” I knew this person was conservative, which, whatever, but laughing at innocent little kids being put in cages doesn’t…

“But what we’re seeing now is they are creating criminals to then justify going after them.”

technically its an incel phone

On the other side, adviser Stephen Miller is taking sadistic joy in seeing photos of crying children and triggering outrage among liberals and traditional conservatives.

How did BPD become this big elephant in the room that nobody wants to acknowledge? “Whirlwind” romances are not just typical of people with borderline, it’s one of the big giveaways. And that commitment that your folks had to working it out after the whirlwind was over....that’s a downright dangerous idea for a person…

ALSO, they’re reintroducing legislation to repeal the ACA. So, like the nazis they love, it seems like they want to get rid of the sick and disabled too.

The fact someone named “Will Control” was trying to run a sex cult (and an underage one at that) isn’t the universe telling people something one bit.

Rapper “Unmarked Van” shocked someone would do such a thing.

Yuuuuppp, this is what it would look like if I decorated an “upscale” hotel entirely out of my local Walmart

All I could think about when reading this article was the Vonnegut short story “Harrison Bergeron.” It’s set in a society where everyone must be equal, so everyone’s talents and physical abilities are “handicapped” down to an average level. Smart people’s concentration is broken by intermittent noise in an earpiece,…

So let’s make sure all women are the same height, the same weight, have the same waist-to-hip ratio. It’s ridiculous. In math competitions, are they going to measure IQs so all are on a level playing field? So some women are biologically “gifted” with something that gives them an advantage. That’s how it works. We all…

Hey there! I appreciate your thoughtful comment—and completely agree with you. It’s not straws that need to go extinct, but the materials they’re made of and how they are disposed. Have you used a metal or paper straw before? If so, what did you think?

My mom beat the shit out of a mountain lion about 25 years ago. It was killing a neighbor’s chickens. My brother was absolutely terrified. It’s her proudest moment, I think.
