I mean, I could see if Hillary and Co were only *loosely* connected to “cannibalistic satanists” but “deeply tied” does seem like it’s taking it a bit too far.

And this is why it’s such a critical and treasured thing that here in the US we fiercely protect the right of poor people to influence their neighborhoods and communities while also supporting minority housing ownership through a variety of federal and municipal level controls and initiatives to prevent rapid…

There should NOT be scare quotes around the real in “real taquerias.” Chipotle is a (delicious when in a pinch) fake-ass taqueria and we simply cannot risk the heritage of our collective honesty and intelligence by, in any way, allowing this slippage.

I am not “negating” anything, thanks. And people are often suicidal because of their “life situation.” To a certain degree, suicide hotlines for all their good intention do sustain the idea that people become suicidal due to mental illness or unclear thinking. All I’ve said here is that they did not work for me and…

Oh FFS. I didn’t say anything of the sort. Get over yourself.

As someone who was, at one point a decade ago, genuinely suicidal, it disheartens me so much when people post this at the first mention of suicide in a news story. I totally appreciate the volunteers and that they can/do help some people but, for me, when I called suicide hotlines back then, they were of no value and…

Something about neoliberalism is best understood in the art of the sociopathic non-apology. IOW I’m so glad to see their CEO has apologized for what was at the heart of my primary concern here when I watched the video and thought to myself “this is a goddamn outrage - think about all those other passengers who will be…

Search for “Tree House Loft AirBnB Running Springs” brings up this: https://www.airbnb.co.uk/rooms/9014581 Notice there is a pretty diverse group of people mostly leaving positive reviews with a few negative outliers too.

This story is set up in such a way it’s pretty much impervious to any of many “well yeah, for sure, but ...” considerations that despite the reality of racism against Asians et al, still might lead to a more productive conversation. Been seeing a lot of that lately.

Seems like a bit of a stretch to set this up as a piece on coopting the “counterculture” rather than just the corporate dilution of social issues/movements. Is there a counterculture anymore? Also, Jay Z may be rich as shit and best buds with Obama but he’s still fundamentally revolutionary, IMHO at least.

I am so utterly disinterested in whether or not they actually become a committed couple. Two seasons to get there is naturalistic I suppose but that aspect is as boring as paint.

Not remotely my cup of tea but even being open-minded, this seemed progressively less within reasonable bounds of fantasy before eventually crashing into a wall and bursting into flames upon arriving at “Choking you as you come until you lose consciousness.” Oh dear, no thank you. OTOH, I have friends who exchange…

I’m only serious that it’s worth being empathetic to her and reasonably generous about her motivations rather than assuming she is stupid, pathological, etc. Trying to give kids a stable two-parent home is a very strong drive. But god knows I’m not sympathetic to Weiner. He’s trash.

I don’t expect this to last. But I will say - please don’t judge others similar decisions when kids are involved. Been there, done that, and failed, myself. But I painfully well understand the drive, when there are young kids in picture, to go far far above and beyond - in trying to preserve a “family” - what would…

It doesn’t sound wacky at all to me. My apologies for sounding perhaps a bit like the undergraduate social studies major you wish you hadn’t started a conversation with at a party, but it’s true that many if not even most indigenous peoples across time/space have held an understanding of personhood that naturally…

Being stuck in the greys as a non-troll makes Jezebel a kind of pointless exercise. Meh.

Because allowing the commodification of breast milk by reference to a situation like yours which is likely not the most common situation, could ultimately socially normalize it as a commodity and thus it might spread as an option for women who are subjugated and under financial pressure et al who are then essentially…

I increasingly believe things like this are literally said openly and without apology or embarrassment behind the doors of police stations, DA offices, etc.

Conway is what she is and I have no kind words for her. But we’d all be championing John Lewis as an intrepid defender of digital civil liberty if he’d said more or less the same thing.
