I just want to give a shout out to all the Jezebel Royalty Detectives who ASSURED US in no uncertain terms that, after their first public appearance, an engagement was on the way due to x, y, and z reasons. I thought it was a bold conjecture, but you never doubted yourselves, and you all have my deepest respect.

Right?! Not to mention, the whole Wallis Simpson mess. I think those days of fussy and nonsensical marriage objections are over, thank goodness. Royalty is obsolete, and yet...some people do still take their cues from them.

AHH! it’s very pretty.

Okay, Roomba.

Okay, Roomba.

Just because he’s an asshole doesn’t mean that she can be one at his expense.

It’s ridiculous. From the transcript, it’s obvious that the lyrics aren’t finalized but the general idea of it is there: hey, I’m going to say some nasty shit about you and she’s like, “either way it’s obviously tongue in cheek.” But somehow that doesn’t apply to the final version of the lyrics? Talk about a reach.

good point

I really appreciate the apology of [this powerful man] who has done a lot for [my political party/prevailing ideology/hobby/entertainment of choice]. He really fucked up, but he seems sincere, and I think he deserves a chance to make it right. Let’s take him at his word and stop this witch hunt. What he did was wrong.…

Yes to all of that. We should be covering each and every school’s mishandling of sexual assault. In this case, it’s especially bad because Jaeger’s behavior is so very blatant, and so well-known that he tanked the BCS department well before the allegations became public. How many schools have had a tenured professor…

Totally. All pumpkins are squash but not all squash are pumpkins because pumpkin is not a real word but rather a visual category.
