Interesting, because now we're unclear as to who will be taking over:

I can say from my own experience being beaten by cops in Oakland, California that it's pretty standard bad cop behavior to refuse to share their names and badge number. In Brooklyn, one female officer refused to do it over something as simple as a mistaken drinking in public citation, so yeah, while they should share…

If you're going to arrest someone for a bullshit reason, at least make sure your protocol is perfect. Jeez.

Hillary, thank you to you and your colleagues at Jezebel for posting updates on the situation in #Ferguson. There is no coverage in the UK media and so I've been relying on Jezebel, Groupthink and Gawker for information.

But Tracy said that he never saw the children reading books, using computers or doing arithmetic. Instead, the children were seen playing instruments and singing.

You know what the most accurate thing in all of her tweets is? Her inclusion of the bad-speller complex.

Yup. The other day I saw a street fashion shot with a thin pretty twenty-something woman who was wearing jean-overalls and sneakers. When you're thin and in NY it's FASHION, if you're above a size two and anywhere else it's a crime against fashion. Funny how that works.

I recall a few years ago, the street style photographers took a lot of pictures of women in white, pillow-case style dresses and wrote copy that implied that these were genius fashion choices and so incredibly stylish and creative, without noticing that all of these dresses looked basically the same and that the women…

At pretty much every blogging job I've ever had, I've been told (by male managers) that it'd be a death sentence to moderate comments and block IP addresses, because it "shuts down discourse" and guts traffic. But no one's ever shown me any actual numbers that support that claim. Does anyone have any? Not that I think…

Or they're refusing to address the somewhat unique position a progressive women's website has on the Internet. Women aren't general interests that can be treated like "cars" or "sports."

Prior to Kinja, I headed the trollpatrol team for Jezebel, as many people here know. We dealt with rape gifs, violent pornography, racism, and harassment regularly, but there was a system in place with which to have it reported and dealt with. Banning didn't usually result in the same person immediately making a new…

Well, he can enjoy eating what practically amounts to a lump of coal, but we are free to ridicule him for it.

I've gotten my boyfriend down from well done to medium. I'm pushing for med-rare but medium is fine. Well done makes me want to break up with him.

"our 10 oz. filet Mignon, cooked "Extra, extra, EXTRA well-done"

This column would be drastically reduced if there was a $30 dipshit surcharge at restaurants.

I would charge him $30 for being such a dipshit.

I have a sexual harassment work story I think it's interesting, but I'm not a waitress. I work with people with developmental disabilities. I hope no one's offended; last time I told a story about work where I portrayed one of the people I work with in a negative light, lots of people here were offended. I'm very much…

That Tampon Fairy story is the sweetest creepy thing ever! If someone bought me a box of the tampons I desperately needed but was not trying to let him know I desperately needed, my genuine reaction would be both "Gahhh" and "Thanks!"

Big boobs, small frame too here and I'll never understand why men think that's a convo they should have with you. Weirdest thing that ever happened to me was right out of college I was running this state senator's campaign and his district was on the coast but some of it away from the beach was really rural. Anyways,…

Oh god, gross. I used to work at a Big Boy and always got a dollar a person in tips. ALWAYS, no matter how much food they got. And one particular time, I had this table I really liked, great rapport with them, so on. They left me $2 for a table of 4 that had ordered appetizers, milkshakes, and dessert. I was suffering…
