If this thing is, per the headline, a “Pro-Coven” what the heck am I supposed to use to burn witches?

Could be that he just enjoys playing football. Idunno.

Oh noes! Censorship!!!!1!1!!!

Amazing that this needs to be said, but human beings aren’t alligators, and I don’t have the any qualms in holding them to different standards. The only people responsible for picking on a child are the people that pick on a child, full stop. As to “99.9 percent of parents” that supposedly keep photos of their kids of…

Them: “maybe take your bitter shit somewhere else” You: “CENSORSHIP!!!1!!!1! Also - I’m logical”

This is the argument of someone looking to deflect their own responsibility for their decision to be shitty about a child. Beyonce isn’t making you do that, it’s your choice (rhetorical “you”, though it wouldn’t surprise me if it applied).

You are being very generous to describe these as “poorly” researched. A few of her pieces require deliberate effort to get as distant from the truth as she does.

“And for his own part, William put his foot in his mouth just months ago on race and foreign affairs by blaming climate change on the supposedly increasing human population across Africa.”

You seem to know a lot about Griner’s packing habits, standard Russian airport procedures for contraband screening, and what the Russians knew about was in her bag on previous trips. Very specialized knowledge - you should share your information with Jezebel, they can update their reporting.

This is incorrect. Shadow ministers exist to keep the actual ministers to account. They don’t always get into cabinet themselves when their party wins power, and if they do it’s frequently to posts entirely unrelated to their previous critic roles.

They are, but in a parliamentary system, that doesn’t make them part of government, in the way it does in the U.S. “Government” refers to whichever party has the confidence of the house, and more specifically those with governing responsibility, namely the cabinet.

The US isn’t a Parliamentary system, so no. The governing party in the UK is the Conservatives. They (broadly speaking) form the government, in that they are doing the governing, and Labour are the main opposition. As the opposition, their role is (among other things) to hold the government - including the executive -…

Shadow ministers are definitionally *not* part of government, the first clue to which is that this shadow minister is a member of the Labour party, which is not in power.

Part of the reason we know so little is because the family has asked for privacy. That might be in order to avoid her case becoming prominent enough that the Russians would have more leverage by extending her detention. So, Jezebel might not be doing Griner the favor it thinks it is by bringing more attention to it.

The handle off of which this person flew has accumulated a thick layer of dust, and has long since given up hope she will ever return.

First of all, that point is not served by including Kim’s picture. Second, it isn’t the point the author made. Let’s look at the paragraph:

Slowly, for you: Kim was at the show wearing Balenciaga, yes, as were many other celebrities. Kim’s presence was unrelated to Ukraine or to Demna’s theme - she was just there (again, as were other people of note). The *media* chose to prioritize her outfit over the statement the show was making, and then this author…

Writes thoughtful piece on the ethics of fashion houses commenting on Ukraine.

“especially since one of its main exports has historically been violent imperialism”

Mulaney doesn’t need my defense, and he isn’t getting it. You don’t seem to be tracking what’s happening here very well, dingus.
