Great piece as always. Your discussion of the mad body and the presence of images that had led to define/ “make definite” possibilities of pathology in Joyce reminds me immediately of the work of Mary Ann Doane on madness in cinema. Not sure if you are aware of her work but Doane has some fascinating discussion around…

Shrieking? Really? JFC.

Why do they hate us?

I know it can be creepy to get a comment on a few days old article but...

Fuck off.

Vanity Fair has mentioned a number of times, in pieces on Trump, that the fact that he doesn’t engage in philanthropy is a major social issue for him in NYC. From what I can gather - because I am obviously not of that “set” - there’s a kind of checks and balance of people organising benefits, buying plates at each…

This is the best article I have ever read on Jezebel. G-d bless mommy blogs and their endless dramzz.

Hah! What a doinkus. I’m obviously gonna be looking this up. Thank you.

People are going weirdly out of their way to arse lick Annie Hathaway ever since Jez* did the mild mea culpa. I’m here for the apologies vis a vis upskirt shots and persecution but damn. That was a terrible, sexist movie. This whole Hathaway recuperation thing is giving me wince face.

Drunken therapy? U wot? Do tell!

It’s infuriating.

Oh can you imagine. We’d all be covered in gross Rich splatter. Even more than now!

No, I agree. It’s appalling. It sent me off Jez for a week. I was sickened.

Reading this was so deeply uncomfortable for me knowing he published that piece from the outset of my own reading. I will admit that at that time I was doing some research around online representations of women (a lot of which is now null and void following Trump’s inauguration but that’s another topic) so I was…

I never get the impression that Rich likes women, as a rule. Yes, he can be strenuous in his like of SOME women, as though this is the same thing, but in general is tone is one of remove with a touch of distaste. I didn’t care much for reading him on Gawker but it continually irks me that he now writes for Jez.

Yeah. I really cannot stand Rich. My only hope here is that her complimenting him on his preparedness was shade, because that is how I read it. I read this entire article making a :/ face as I was fully aware that he had published her upskirt pics and basically caused the entire Matt Lauer fiasco. Then he goes on to…

He seemed stoned and she seemed anxious that he was stoned and thus peddling desperately to keep the show afloat. It was widely reported as “Hathaway seems desperate” and not a lot was said about Franco, who was downright rude to her on stage for hours and hours ugh it was a shitshow.

I wish it was framed as a conversation about internet bullying. It’s not, tho. Sadly I read this article fully aware that Rich had published these pictures (one of the many, many reasons I side eye him as a Jez writer) and I was flinching all the way through. It reads like, “so I guess you have feelings about that…

I assume she means as a commenter.

No, I’m pretty sure most of us knew well before then that it’s not OK to take/disseminate naked pictures without someone’s consent.
