Imagining a bunch of hypotheticals that allow you to scold a woman for not being serious enough to hold her job is not, in fact, reasonable.

There are very few emergency powers that rest with a Prime Minister alone in a Parliamentary democracy, and I am pretty sure that Ms Marin knows what the job requires better than we do.

It’s a real fun twist for a site that is generally critical of toxic masculinity and positive about destigmatizing mental health issues to dismiss men who are open about their mental health struggles as “sad boys.”

The number of people so eager for an opportunity to fling (painfully dull) insults at the writer that they missed the not-at-all-subtle joke is disheartening indicator of where we are as a society.

“Singling out one author” is making a lot of assumptions, and I don’t see how the phrasing reveals an existing enmity at all. In the reporting I’ve seen, the account was said to be from Pakistan, which - while not dispositive - suggests that their issue was more likely to be with Rushdie rather trans-rights, and that R…

Rushdie had an actual government of an actual country offer an actual bounty on his head, a threat which he lived with for decades, and for which is is currently in hospital. No one should be threatening anyone, but it happens all the time on Twitter (and probably pretty frequently to Rowling) and is thus…

The “you’re next” threat seemed to be in reference to her support for Rushdie, and would be utterly expected for twitter under the circumstances.

“Just quoting me and saying “nah-uh” doesn’t count as a rebuttal.”

“’ll make it clear for you...Prey is a purposeful anachronistic mishmash.”

THIS is the future liberals want.

See where I wrote “in the absence of another in-story explanation” and “unless you’re imagining a different historical reality” and “in this context”? Yeah, I bet you did.

Soul was as if the started the concept with “trademarked Pixar heartwarming resolution” but then didn’t bother writing or animating anything would make you care, or be particularly entertained, on the journey to get there. I don’t remember the characters names, what any of them looked like, or much of what happened,…

That hasn’t been made clear, but my impression is that the repeated delays in her trial were a tactic by the Russians trying to get the US to start discussions for a deal. Once it became politicized in that way, it became wrongful detention no matter the underlying facts of the case, because a finding of innocent or a…

First, it was the Comanche culture specifically, not the events of the movie that were referred to as anachronistic in the article. Second, historical fiction is not inherently anachronistic by virtue of inserting events or characters into the past. Imagining the historical Shakespeare had an affair with one of his…

Because she’s semi-well-known in certain circles and is being held by a nuclear power currently that is currently invading Europe. If Russia were not currently invading Ukraine, I highly doubt it would get this level of coverage here or elsewhere. Beyond that, Jezebel have a demonstrated prior (if erratic) interest…

“decidedly anachronistic 1700s culture”

“Monica Lewinsky wants Beyoncé to remove a lyric about her from a song released in 2013, despite listing “rap song muse” in her Twitter bio”

It’s news not because Teigen announced it (normal thing for a pregnancy), but because Jezebel covered it. So, the corrected comment should be a) fuck Jezebel for covering Teigen and b) fuck Jezebel for perpetuating the idea that being attractive should insulate you from etc etc.

Yep, somehow grossly disrespectful to the reporter and to the man about to be murdered by the state.

“For someone who may not follow sports to the level that they understand how players make money, the comparison is at least helpful in understanding why she was in Russia to start with”
