Flip Flops are Satan’s choice of footwear.

“I think that when you get dressed in the morning, sometimes you’re really making a decision about your behavior for the day. Like if you put on flipflops, you’re saying: ‘Hope I don’t get chased today.’ ‘Be nice to people in sneakers.’” -Demetri Martin

‘Norman Reedus’ first major project outside of The Walking Dead’

Goes back to watching Boondock Saints.

On the one hand, this makes me sad. On the other hand...who’s up for a Silent Hill moviethon? Does anyone besides me like what they did with the first movie (if you give it enough liberty with the material you see in the movie)? And what of the second one?

I want to get on board with this, but this poster is borderline MRA at best and my immediate response to this post is, “yeah sure, buddy”. ¯\_(ツ)_/¯

I feel bad for the guy. You played hot and cold because you weren’t ready, and none of that was fair to him. You’re in the wrong.

I am struggling to see how/where he created drama. You might be projecting, because I think he handled being yanked around pretty well. Your behavior was very hot and cold, and when I put myself in his shoes it doesn’t feel good. It sucks to be a rebound to someone who’s using you to work out their own personal shit…

I didn’t expect him to be THRILLED but his reaction was way over the top, right?!

An anti-semitic German woman is in Israel and making remarks like that to strangers? Honestly this one seems a little too “good” to be true.

Okay, this whole “Republicans giving a shit about women/gun control/black people” thing is officially getting old.

THIS. After being a Jez reader for a number of years now, I've seen a very marked shift in the attitudes and caliber of writers on the site, and not for the better. It seems like more and more, Jez values extremely young, extremely immature writers who instead of owning up to the sometimes stupid things they say, just…

Yeah, I’ve been reading Jez since 200nevermind and knew him as Ubertrout. He’s always been a bonehead.

That’s exactly how I felt. I was friends with him and talked to him outside of Gawker Media quite often.
Someone on a thread said that it’s not so hard to come out against offensiveness when it’s the norm and that he’s never taken a stand against something that hasn’t already been established as bad.

That was a big question a lot of people had when he first came to be an author (especially after his behavior on Groupthink.)
A lot of people have emailed Emma and various other staff members but absolutely no word from anyone. We’re thinking that they probably told him he can address it and he doesn’t want to or they…

Did you? Because you’re saying we should keep reading and supporting his blog, despite evidence that he continues to be racist, classist, sexist and harassing people instead of asking how come someone like him got the position on the first place.

The livejournal was linked to his kinja username. Someone was googling him trying to pull up an old comment thread and stumbled on it. They were, understandably, disturbed. The tumblr is linked to the email that he posts on every BCO. So uncovering one led to looking into if there was anything else upsetting out…

I often wonder what my life would be like if I had started treatment for my various mental illnesses in childhood. I don’t think my daughter has any psychiatric disorders (at least yet) but her issue with anxiety definitely needs help that I can’t provide myself.

In my fantasy world, the top of the list of problems is “She’s Too Damn Conservative.” Also, in my fantasy world, Biggie is still alive and making relevant music and everyone has a tiny domesticated teacup bear as a pet.

I think her sex will be the least of her problems. America is thirsty for an Angela Merkel of its own. I just don’t know if Clinton can be as savvy of a politician as Merkel.

One of her problems is Monica Lewinsky? May I please ask why it's her problem that her husband cheated on her almost twenty years ago?
