I wonder when we will finally get past the stage where people’s pronoun usage completely derails every conversation those people are involved in

One of the key purposes of the president is to act as a figurehead who takes heat for shit like this. A lot of people understand that he can’t singlehandedly fix most things, but he is still literally the standard-bearer. So as irritating as it is to hear things like “why can’t Joe Biden do something about inflation,”…

good luck trying to buy a house without billionaire parents!

I work with a lot of young activists who do actual work in nonwhite communities in the real world. You may not like it but in 15 years a majority of latinx people will be calling themselves latinx.

I am still baffled that people are treating this like some kind of legal nail-biter. I will be SHOCKED if Depp wins purely based on the nuts and bolts of the case. The fact that they were maybe both assholes to one another is irrelevant.

Alas this article is FULL of typos including several lazy misquotes of the post (e.g. “America’s First Patriots” vs “America First Patriots.”) When you are quoting a complete moron and making fun of him for his typos and malapropisms you had best give your piece an extra copy edit. 

For what its worth I think most people have no idea what it means to “document” this kind of thing. Most people do not keep extensive contemporaneous journals, or file timely complaints in writing with HR. (Or even have HR.) I would, honestly, argue that her legal background played a role in her even being aware that…

I can’t get over all the people saying how wonderful it was that he stood up for the love of his life, or whatever bs. Like his wife, an accomplished rich and famous person, has no agency. Or like physical violence is the best response for mildly insulting language. 

Jeez, I just . . . really don’t see $2,000 as too much money for a service like this? That seems like such an appropriate amount of money. 

But see, if you deny them the opportunity to learn it from somewhere with a commitment to accuracy and mental and physical health, they HAVE to learn it from somewhere “unapproved” (because they have no choice) and then you can safely blame them for everything that might go wrong.

The difference of course being that Rihanna’s outfit is $8,000 and needs to be custom-made by some designer, while middle/lower-middle class people are just wearing the $16.99 version.

I also don’t think this is something we need to have a UN conference about, but I must say - if you are speaking spontaneously and off the cuff, and what you say is rude and thoughtless, you might have some work to do on yourself.

So your comment is generally all valid and true, but I have to say, this is not a bogus trend story. I have thought the very thought in this story’s headline a couple times so far this week. Jezebel is not the New York Times and writing about major stories from weird angles is literally what they are here for. Are you…

The date I would unquestionably offer in response to this prompt also involves what I would call “diarrhea taqueria” and also includes an impromptu trip to the boardwalk at the Jersey shore.

I think it fits in with “Accessibility.” While the game is supposed to be a challenge, even native English speakers with a solid education might not recognize the word “agora” which is a rarely used loan word from another language. 

To be fair, eliminating a large handful of words they (perhaps overly-sensitively) think are problematic is not “stripping away the things that made people love it.” 

Once again proving that the holocaust inevitably becomes one of the least-nuanced topics of conversation out there, despite the existence of so very many nuances that don’t, by their very existence, inherently denigrate the experience of any one group. Other than, generally, Nazis.   

I also can tell you virtually nothing, off the top of my head, about Jesse James other than the fact he was some kind of western “outlaw.”

I have a very conservative nurse friend who behaved like this until she got transferred to a COVID ward and then all the sudden it was “ohmygod EVERYBODY needs to get vaccinated RIGHT NOW.”

I think writing like this (academic, theoretical, etc) should be rated on a 1-5 scale of popular accessibility, with 1 being Malcolm Gladwell and 5 being Pierre Bordieu.
