EDIT: Well, it’s disturbing to see my post show up grey. Haven’t seen that since Rachel Vorona Cote (remember her?) followed me back in 2017. (Other than for a brief timeout after an asshole came after me!)

I started reading Jez in 2009 and cannot believe that not only is it over, but in such a sad, muted way. You all are wonderful and have made many a shitty day better.

See ya, FA. Actually, I guess I won’t. Take care.

There are no greys here at Splinter. I am the caretaker and I decree it so.

I will miss Jezebel.

Private equity does it best, folks! /s/

Commiserations to Jezebel. Way back when, Deadspin was banned from “political” articles. Splinter was closed. Root’s comments were shut off, and now Jezebel’s gone. Pretty shitty pattern emerging.

Like a steam locomotive, rolling down the tracks. . .  You know the rest.

That’s true. Jezebel was a lively alternative to the transcendent calm of never-changing Splinter.   Life and death each have their virtues.

They shut down Splinter during the most important election of our lifetime and then they shut down Jez when their coverage of reproductive freedom could not be any more essential.

I am the caretaker at Splinter, which is still online with fully functioning Kinja comment sections. I will ungrey any Jezebel mourners who wish to leave condolences at the Splinter link below. My customary mode is funereal, so this will be no imposition.

Oh my goodness I feel so validated, thank you for picking my story (The Knocking). I showed this to my mom, who said, “I still think you’re full of shit.” hashtagfamily

I got banned from her FB page. I take it as a badge of honor and cannot wait for both her and Sinema to eat shit next year

Didn’t she also release a sex tape?

No Relax? Holly Johnson’s view is that it was seeing the video that caused Mike Read and the BBC to interpret the lyrics in a way that got the song (temporarily and, as it turned out, highly profitably) banned.

PSA - usually there are comments/questions about being able to pick up where you left off - I don’t think there is still a good way of doing that, but the best method that I’ve been using for years is:
Select Show Pending as being active and then Sort By: Newest.

God damn that reply from Fetterman is incredible. 

I don’t get how a victim revealing SA on her own timeline is a terrible person.

Alternative: seize everything he has and make him come to court to explain why he should get to have even one penny of it back.

No need to insult sex workers.
