My comment to you got me put back in the greys. Someone is thin-skinned today. Someone was very jealous of other girls’ gel pens in a prior age group.

I like high cut stuff, and even this is a little too 1987 for me. Looking at the picture at the bottom of the article, the suit comes IN from the crease of her pubic area/thigh. Only people who laser or professionally wax would even be able to consider that suit because you’d see unsurfaced hair/bumps/stubble. 

Because if there isn’t a huge helping of snark coming along with a 1000-word take-down of everyone who is a halfstep out of step with Jez writers... then it isn’t Jezebel (or Twitter, or IG, or anything social/online these days). We are supposed to eat our own and everyone else, too. You do you, and don’t take any…

It will also mean that no “central arbiter” comes to take care of violations of law or disturbances, and people will seek to take defense, resolution and remedy entirely into their hands. Which has a myriad of concerns, including, there is no real “justice” system anymore because people enter that through law…

Replaced by a stern-faced Bucky in a stove pipe hat? I’m in.

I think the go-forward is no statues, no plaques. As much the vast, vast majority of people memorialized by statues held vile or at least severely retrograde views about African Americans, Native Americans, Latin and South Americans, etc., almost to the one did all “Great Men” believe that women were inferior,…

Counterpoint: Do not be a child who cannot follow rules. Getting people to distance, wear masks, not be disruptive, not over-use the lavatory, etc. are all easier if people aren’t inebriated. If you can’t fly due to anxiety, reconsider flying. Consider other methods. But it’s gotta be hard enough to flight attendants…

Sherman is a piece of shit, even during the war

Also: Butterfly hot dogs lengthwise (the casing will keep it intact) and press them open-split into a skillet on medium (no oil needed). Cook 2-3 minutes and flip. Keep flipping until they are as griddled as you want. Pat off extra grease, put into a top-slit bun you popped into the oven for 3 minutes, and top as you…

While the original Frontline video and this video make for an impactful experience for the students in attendance and viewers of the videos, Ms. Elliot essentially is parachuting in and out on the matter. She didn’t have to show up to work with those teams the next day, next week, next month. If what happened in the…

On the one hand sure - if you want discerning people, you have to be willing to pay them and FIRE the ones who don’t perform. However, looking at the backgrounds of the 3 other charged officers in the case, I’m not sure we already get “qualified” or “competent” people in uniform.

Sir, you sound burned out. And very often, people who burn out believe it’s because of work, tinged with family obligations, but we’re in a different world. Burn out happens in different ways, and you are ON all the time. Please disengage inasmuch as you possibly can. You can still be a good person and ally (not that…

Thank you. The 5 and 8 yo neighbor kids were helping me in the yard one day (we don’t spend that much time together), and they asked why the other neighbor kid’s mom looked different. The little voice in my head was “welp, this is adulthood - do your part.” So, I did the best I could in a short, breezy comment,…

Thank you for reminding me of my coming cicada plague. I got two dogs that will be eating those monsters like nachos. You forgot murder hornets, the gratuitous B-story of March 2020.

This article was in my newsfeed and my brain cannot comprehend it. https://www.theatlantic.com/politics/archive/2020/06/trumps-biblical-spectacle-outside-st-johns-church/612529/

Not in response to you (I read your caveats), but just gotta say this today. Everyone in the streets better be in the voting lines come November 3, 2020. If someone doesn’t vote for whoever the Democratic candidate is (a kumquat, Biden, Bernie, Pete, Liz), they will certainly be helping Trump win. Just as if they didn…

I literally wouldn’t have believed it if I had just read the article, but both Dubey and the guy’s twitter feed bear this out. It’s crazy to me.

Exactly. In some of my past pro bono work, I have worked with community activists and organizations looking out for the poor, underserved and/or immigrant communities. They are largely invisible to all but those they assist. It must be incredibly frustrating to chisel away at a monolith with such small tools. 

Our Virginia delegate got teargassed Sunday night in DC. 

There are two kinds of people in this world. The people for whom the status quo works, and the people for whom the status quo does not work. The former can become the latter really quickly (one bad interaction with the cops, one school shooting, etc.), but the people in the former category have to shed the comfort and…
