I guess we did this to ourselves: give the original article clicks to point out how ill-founded it was, earn ourselves a video reiterating the same bad argument to get even more clicks.

But why say that, when lying is an option?

Yes, I’ve heard Sojourner Truth spent a lot of time worrying about Stanton’s color palette. 

The attention grabbing symbols they’re using at their protests aren’t nuanced enough, you say? They’re protesting in major media markets where they can more easily recruit people to show up instead of smaller ones you say? They disagree on strategy with groups you favor more but not on any goals you say? Well, to hell…

Why “the former Soviet country of Georigia?” In addition to not really being grammatical, it just reinforces the Russian narrative that they still have a claim on their former satellites.

I don’t know, since - and I apologize for the repetition - it isn’t out yet.

“Poor kids” in the headline, really? Kids have no control over their own finances, generally speaking, and describing them as “poor” is both inaccurately essentializing their finances to their person, while being overly narrow about who suffers from food insecurity and why. I guess with so much snark to drool onto…

This tv show is not actually out yet. I suspect you’re not the type for whom that would matter.

I will probably spend the rest of the day wondering if it is a failure of civics education, geography education, or some unholy combination of both that the author would write that New York City residents are “reeling from the racially motivated mass shooting in a Buffalo grocery store frequented mostly by Black…

You’re not telling the story you think you are by including the biographical detail that you also saw the cheerleaders as a popular girl clique up until the moment they included you.

Very good chance that the author does not know what homely means, since she describes her a pretty earlier. Probably meant something like homey, as in girl-next-door-ish.

Taking bets on whether this article actually gets updated with new information, since the new information that has already been out for hours makes your linking the riot anniversary to this look opportunistic and sleazy.

See, in disparaging Richaradson’s abilities, she would thereby be demeaned. There is a cause, and an effect. She is not “disparaged” by wearing a tiara, but would be reducing in standing such that disparagement could not further demean her. That’s not conflating the meaning of the two, that’s just respecting your…

Watch the race, see how Thompson-Herah “barely edged out” Richardson by taking a lead halfway through and continuing to pull further ahead the closer she got to the finish line.

As opposed to the heros of the main trilogies: white people with quantifiably “superior” bloodlines.

Since it isn’t what happened, it was a choice by the author to make it seem like Thompson-Herah is not as dominant a runner as she in fact is. So yes, it is disparagement.

Really? “Elaine Thompson-Herah just barely edged out Richardson in the 100-meter dash in 10.79 second”

So hard to figure out why the franchise which started with the blond blue eyed kid with the magically superior bloodline appeals to racists.

Jezebel style requires them to use maximum snide at all times, whether it makes any sense or not. They tend to double down when directing it against outlets doing actual reporting, rather than the dressed-up aggregating that happens here. I suspect it’s a coping mechanism for the writers here.

Sub head: “... at this year’s Grammy”.
