Absolutely. I love Franken as a senator, and had been hoping he’d run in 2020. But he needs to step down, now.

With respect to the allegation (see what I did there?) of commentors and others that the Jezzie staff are not practicing real journalism, it’s tough to report on your quest for truth when no one you talk to is willing to go on the record. The NYT (justly or unjustly) has a reputation for unbiased and thorough…

Thank you for the post. Jezebel pursued an open secret story inside of an industry that’s incredibly male dominated and where misogynist views (women aren’t and can’t be funny) still exist. The nature of CK’s comedy added icky complexity to the endeavor. Strong CK defenders (outside the comedy world) are to CK what…

I’m a fan of Jen Kirkman and a diehard Jezzie. I admire CK’s work but have never been completely comfortable with him as a person, as I’d heard this shit before (which is rare, I usually have no idea what’s up with celebs). So...Confliction, party of 1.

I will not condemn a man on rumor alone.

It seems to me that you handled things very well, with Jen Kirkman. It’s unfortunate, if I had to guess, I’d say I think she was just frazzled by how much scrutiny she got, and lashed out at you guys. But you all did your job. This shit’s tough!

T.Y. notes often make things better, but I guess not this time.

I don’t actually like football that much.

I have a different theory:

We’ve reached Peak Fantasy when the anti-fantasy-sports takes are worse than listening to someone talk about their fantasy team. Jesus Christ, that was a death march in text form.

Oh well. He was in the middle of the action. I have no idea why you’re upset on his behalf but, you do you.

lmao, seriously? He’ll do his laundry and be fine. Brown and Black men and Women standing up for ourselves is always incredible. An ally got a bit dirty? He shouldn’t care. He did the right thing, too.

A literal oxpecker would no doubt be a Who groupie who specialized in John Entwistle. (Just had to make that joke.)

I firmly disagree that this woman could have been the inspiration for Penny Lane. Penny Lane was in love with a man. Sapphire? Sapphire was there for the music.

More than 10 times a day. And it really, truly is mentally and spiritually exhausting. I can’t imagine how much worse it would be if I were one of the dozens of millions of people who sit more squarely in the crosshairs of the cruelty and hatred he embodies.

It’s a relatively small and banal part of the job, and it pales in comparison to all the other ways he sucks, but the way he responds to these disasters is sickening to me. That an adult human cannot suppress the reflex to engage in superfluous praise (mostly of himself) to focus on victims of a disaster is…

So, seriously, I know we’re 10 months in but how often do the rest of you have one of those “Oh right, Donald Fucking Trump is the President of the United States” moments? It happens to me less often now but still, you know, once or twice a week. The guy they used to make fun of in Bloom County, the guy Ali G screwed…

“I wish it would all just go away,” said Kathie Lee clueless white people.

Is she related to Colonel Sanders? Cause she knows how to cook up half baked shit in a bucket and serve it to the American people.

Is she related to Barry Sanders? Cuz she knows how to spin the fuck out of any troubling situation.
