This was amazing and on point. Thank you.

I was with you until the whole her husband is a dork, it’s not about race or sex shit. Why do white people always want to tell you it is not about race without checking their internalized racism? I was not born in this country and yet I am always checking how casually racism is imbued into every part of our lives.…

Lately I’ve been feeling like Jez in general are intentionally churning out poorly researched and argued hot takes because they know they increase views and engagement from the commentariat and not out of any genuine belief in their opinions. Jez has always had the occasional misguided/reactionary take, but it never…

At least it wasn’t a take down of this excellent and deserving film (I agree it should escape the Academy’s xenophobic resistance to ever awarding a non-English language film Best Picture). But it certainly was a bad take, because it was the same shallow, flippant snark that didn’t even touch on the arguments and…

These videos rely on the same principle as sitcoms like The Big Bang Theory: if you can mimic the cadences of someone saying something witty, you can sometimes trick people into thinking you actually told a joke.

Joanna’s recaps were much, much better. 

Agreed. I read all the hot takes about Joker and was fully prepared to roll my eyes a lot but I was really blown away by the story and Joaquin. It was much less “toxic white man” and more a slow descent into mental illness due to generational trauma. It wasn’t gimmicky or cheap. With more recent attention paid to…

I have seen every film nominated except The Irishman (half way!) and I can say with pretty much certainty every single film deserved to be nominated and seen by as many people possible. As they are all genuinely great. I do think Parasite is the best of the bunch but the hatchet job these “reviews” being it joking or…

Yep. “I wanna have an opinion and shout it at you, but I don’t want that opinion challenged.”

Just dropping by to say that the Jezebel staff and the Jezebel commentariat over the years have helped me become a much better person that I would be otherwise, and you’re all beyond awesome. Jezebel (and Gizspinniktu Clubroothacker) Forever!

Anyone else worried this is gonna be the last SNS?

I found out yesterday that I passed the bar exam.

I have a higher degree in seismology and I can tell you earthquake “prediction” is mostly meaningless. Someone probably had a decent argument for their 11% figure but another equally qualified person could have come up with a totally different figure or none at all. You live in a region where earthquakes have happened…

Yes! Blergh! I find I can endure the earthquakes during the daytime. I have the most difficulty trying to get to sleep when, like now, there is the possibility of a nighttime recurrence. I don’t like the idea of being groggily awakened by – or completely unconscious during – a quake.

I’m just south in the OC. There are no real predictors of earthquakes from real scientists, all you have are tv experts (i.e. random assholes who wanna be on tv) and the crappy news that doesn’t have funding for ‘research.’ Sensationalism sells, but I still don’t have ebola or SARS so I don’t think the tv has better…

I’m not in cali, but stay safe, and stay strong, and help out your neighbours if need be :)

The aftershocks are the worst because they keep you on edge. Take courage in knowing earthquakes are almost entirely unpredictable!

That’s exactly why I did it: so I didn’t have to. I didn’t pick this outcome. I wasn’t dishonest. I didn’t mislead anyone. HE DID! So he can deal with the fallout, including the $200 DVD set of a TV show he doesn’t even like.

Fuck 'em up, Edna.
