Oh no now we won’t be able to read your incoherent ramblings anymore. 

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.

That blows chunks. I’ve been here since Erin Gloria Ryan was still working finance (in Chicago?) and she was commenting on the sly as “Morning Gloria”.

If there’s anyone still around, please drop a story so we’ll have a place devoted to commiserating with our fellow-Jezzies about the closure.

Genuinely bummed out by the site closure. I’d like to express my gratitude to the Jezebel staffers for generally being good sports about my tomfoolery these past few years. I’ll confess to having some Tomato-style accounts here. Yes, I was Crystal Jewell, the 25-year old grad student from Iowa — along with some

I’ll miss Jezebel. I’ve been on it since 2009.

I’ll miss all of you. I’ve been commenting here for a decade, enjoyed many great writers, and met a lot of wonderfully kind and thoughtful people. Thanks, Jez. I’ll miss ya. The 500 days of Kristin will never die!

Wow. That just hit me like a punch in the throat. Devastated for the staff, their families, and these who genuinely engaged with the site over the years. I’ve been commenting for about ten years now. Jezebel has been part of my daily online life for a decade. Ugh.

The actors strike ends (pending a vote) and Jez gets shut down for good. Thanks for the memories Jez.

So the companies that thought they could replace the actors with AI found out how little power they actually have. This is a win for the actors and fuck you to the media companies.

I see we have a boot leather enthusiast here.

Frankly, it’s one of the few things I actually regularly agree with this god forsaken website on.

Exactly! How come Jalopnik never has stories about about all the cops that the police don’t run over?!

If LA is anything like Chicago the boys in blue are frequently active members of street gangs, which sometimes gets awkward when they're rivals. 

Looks like that driver also hates cops.

The Sphynx emerges in 2023 with a new riddle:

A few years ago, there was a robbery in a NYC cell phone store. Cops from at least two different precincts responded. Instead of coordinating their engagement of the perp, they went in “Wild West” style. One cop ended up shooting and killing another cop, and instead of charging the killer cop for “negligence” at

the LAPD isn’t willing to admit that the cop was hit by a fellow cop’s cruiser, probably because it makes the LAPD look dangerous and inept.

“These thieving motherfuckers are even starting to dress like us. Diabolical.”Officer Nearsighted

Never assume malice when incompetence is equally likely, but...yeah, it sure looks like he was trying to take that cop out.
