I like how you he equates CEO optimism with an across the board boost in morale. “Guys, I can’t wait to go to my abusive minimum wage retail job where I am forced to shove credit cards down people’s throats because our CEO is looking forward to scoring a new yacht for his island.”

In one month he brought the unemployment rate down from 40% (!) to 4.7%. God let him celebrate.

There is no “moral outrage” in this article, though. The writer even calls it a “gripe.” Pointing out something that irks you doesn’t always involve outrage. And the idea that talking about ANY OTHER THING that isn’t abortion or equal pay should NEVER BE DONE because there is finite energy to devote to musing over…

Secondly, when’s white history month, right?

You are aware that we don’t live in a matriarchy, right? Just like we don’t live in homonormative Black Supremacy?

Not arguing that this isn’t a sausage-fest and a half, but you forgot the amazing Noelle Scaggs of Fitz and the Tantrums.

...former North Carolina Governor Pat McCrory alleged that his reputation as an anti-trans bigot has made some companies reluctant to hire him for the consulting services he is currently offering.

I hate that fucking “aw shucks” bullshit. Also, aside from all the bathroom bigotry, HB2 specifically prevented cities from enacting their own civil rights protections. He knows all of this, and yet wants to pretend it’s some simple down-home wisdom while still asking for $$$ for consulting. What’s to consult, Pat?…

“It’s almost as though I broke a law…It’s a bad part of our nation going on right now. You see the same techniques going on against Trump right now.”<- See the logic: people who commit crimes, even arbitrary crap like marijuana are bad people. People who make laws to terrorize and marginalize the least protected in…

Sure, he says what he means, but also you take him too literally! You should assume that he is serious about what he says and what he wants to do, and that he says what he means, but also that what he says he means is not literally what he is so serious about doing.

how great is that dog? how great are dogs!

I’m a little less “i-told-you-so” about the 3rd party voters, but I would love to see a big piece supported by polling on what all of the non-voters in particular think of this shit show so far.

I’m still kind of mad that ‘female empowerment’ is embodied by a girl, rather than a grown-ass woman. But I guess girls are non-threatening enough to not crush the testicles of these manbabies....

Yep. We’ve all heard that Leviticus is where the Bible straight-up says that homosexual behavior is an abomination. And yes, it does. It also says that homosexuals should receive the death penalty (!!!). It also says the same thing about eating pork or shellfish, charging interest on loans, and a whole bunch of other…

share the verse where it says homosexuality is a sin.

This is a bullshit experiment, because everyone has already seen the battle between Hillary Clinton and Donald Trump, so that colors any attempt to recreate it by just changing genders. People already come into the experiment with preconceived ideas. And frankly the woman came off as much less offensive than Trump.

Jezebel has become very meaningful to me, so all my love and support to the writers striking. This is the only place I can stomach reading politics now, and the commenters here are gold. Life would be shit without the women writers of Jezebel. ❤🌸

Exactly. It’s also easy to over-use or become addicted to many medications and “medical” marijuana falls into that category, but it’s not as deadly as Oxy, so people kind of just gloss over it. One of the reasons I so badly hope it becomes federally legal is so that those who do want to use it to treat illnesses like…

It is so maddening that a tax credit is supposed to help pay for things. I make so little a tax credit will do zero to help me. It’s such a privileged political ploy.

Yeah, well...he can afford good steak but then he has the life cooked out of it and then puts ketchup on it. Being able to afford the finer things does not make one actually appreciate them nor understand their purpose.
