You can start with three, off the top of my head:  you can read the original The Color Purple, by Alice Walker, you can read For Colored Girls Who’ve Considered Suicide When the Rainbow is Enuf by Ntozake Shange, and - despite the disdain that has rained down on Julie Swetnick because her claims aren’t what men…

The face of a man who knows he married up and has spent 26 years trying to deserve the honor she gave him.

Albert - I have gotten a lot of joy out of your work on this site. Your HitchBot takedown is to this day one of my favorite things I have ever read on the Internet, and your writing is a big part of how I got to be a passionate NBA fan. This piece is all true, and good, and like all of your work, well-written.

THANK YOU!!!

Here’s the thing: the British rag and the editor at the American equivalent who decided to amplify this weren’t trying to shame actors or working people.  This was an attempt to pile on to the racist stereotype of the rich black man who blows all his money.  Everyone who’s been an actor or in an equally uncertain…

The best thing I ever did was start putting masking tape labels with contents and date on my leftovers. Now my kids and I are much more likely to eat them, regardless of the container. And I’m more likely to chuck them in a timely manner. Downside is I no longer get to see what funny looking mold formations can be…

Hold up...You don’t do voting in each city or town in the county, that is messed up.  Here we vote at the local high school.  Next town over has polling places in three different places over town. I couldn’t imagine having to travel out of my town to vote.

How Much Do You Know About the Russia Investigation?

And my not-entirely-intact apartment? Well, if I were black, it would only be expected of me, rather than a temporary bad situation, right?

THIS! How else are you going to give someone a hand when they ask for it?

Historical documentaries on the Holocaust aren’t “anti-German propaganda”, they’re anti-NAZI propaganda.

I would argue that most Germans, at this point in history, are firmly anti Holocaust themselves.

When my daughter was a few months old, we went to Mr Tooty’s company picnic at Hershey Park in PA. It was hotter than hell, and I needed to nurse her, so I sat down, in the full sun in a gazebo filled with senior citizens wilting in the heat-there was nowhere else and certainly nowhere air conditioned, and I was not…

venues like stadiums, they apparently are over carbonated. I forgot why that apparently is a thing.

As a woman who is barely on Jalopnik I went into the comments with trepidation. There’s def some shitty takes on here but your comment was well thought out and measured.

I figure the people making this distinction are probably pedophiles. 

Thank you, Jalopnik, for posting this. A lot of people on your twitter reacted angrily- “He’s dead so what does it matter” and “wow this has nothing to do with cars”. But its important, because he WAS such a big part of the auto community and because F&F is part of modern automotive culture. It’s creepy and predatory- …

It’s sexism. Men see 16 yr old girls as women because they want to. What would you be saying if he had had relationships with 16 yr old boys? Cue the old, girls are so much more mature argument? Guess what, they aren’t. They’re just groomed to act that way.
