You've obviously never met the Beans clan, huh?

This is the "apology" the woman who owns this place gave one of the community leaders in Rockaway today. Sounds like the classic non-apology, "you don't understand our humor," BS you usually see in these situations.

Dafuq did I just read?

Dear Youth of America,

I seriously think you're missing the point. The entire point was to be racist. Racist to the point of absurdity to showcase the absurdity of the owner of a sports team with a racist name (and yes, "Redskins" IS racist, I say this as a Native American and a human being with eyes and ears) creating a so-called…

I agree so much. I also think that we often forget that the more middle class women who succeed and are able to reach positions of power, the better off it will be for all women. One of the things that hinders growth for middle and lower income women is the fact that we're under-represented in power positions…

I get your point, but in some industries it's actually detrimental to your career if you're not *on* at all times. Personally, I haven't noticed any push back from refusing to answer non-urgent emails after 7pm, but in other industries (PR for instance) there can be serious consequences for being a sane, rational…

This comment wins. Your reward is all my affection and a Goatse poster (just because).

I won't argue that "working three jobs to support a family" is a feminist issue, but I think my single-father dad who raised me while working two or three jobs to keep the heat on would argue that it isn't *only* a feminist issue. That being said, I think focusing on making things easier for single-moms (who are…

Nope. Not lazy. I'm the same way and I've never considered myself lazy. I get my shit done, I'm productive as fuck, and I never answer an email after 10pm (or even 7pm unless it's urgent). Most of my co-workers are the same, and I work in the same industry as the author (albeit in a slightly different part of the…

I don't know. I think the fact that Patton's asshattery has led to Princeton doubling down on their support of sexual assault victims can only be a good thing.

Better your face than your arse! Not that I have arse warts... *backs away slowly*

I married (and eventually divorced) my high school boyfriend, how do you think I feel? lol. Still managed to finish college (SUNY school, nothing as fancy as Princeton) and have a great career though. Currently married to wonderful man, but I don't regret mt first marriage and we have a great child together.

Fun fact! I once walked in on a sort of well-known celebrity (she had a role on what was then an uber popular HBO show) doing blow in a bathroom in Manhattan. To her credit, she didn't miss a beat and offered my girlfriend a line (obviously she said yes). I didn't partake, but it was epic, and I think of it every time…

If you add masturbating and eating a hot pocket, then it's mine!

Oh, no, don't get me wrong. I didn't think you were saying that, and I totally agree with you about calling the police. I'm shocked that no one did. I guess it's the bystander affect, and it's scary as hell. This is why I always step in if I see something like this happening (well, I've never seen this particular…

Something very similar happened to me when I was pregnant with my youngest child, and BOTH of my other kids (at the time ages 6 and 2) were totally nonplussed. Thankfully my husband was in the next room, and was able to come help. That preggo dizziness is a bitch, isn't it?

Well, to be fair, this isn't the New York Times. I come to Jez looking for a more casual tone. I agree, using the term "nodding off" without explanation in a more serious publication would have thrown me.

Isn't it a pretty common term? If not in one's every day life, then at least in the movies or on television. I know I've heard the term more than once on shows like SVU and CSI, and definitely on House. I agree, an explanation would've been cool (I know at this point he's included one), but I can see how he might have…

Ah, see I was only able to see the first 10 seconds of the video or so before it started spazing out (I don't know if it's an issue on Jez's end or mine). Her responding to outside stimuli makes me think it was probably drugs, or at least not epilepsy.
