I have the mixed feelings too. Wish there were some algorithm—length of history, number of exchanges, number of stars—to do that filtering. Hopefully we'll get some balance back sometime soon, even if it has to be wonky for a while to keep out that putrid garbage.

I'm back to the greys all around, and I was just starting to enjoy commenting on Gawker Media articles :(

Can't we just have a report button, and then have mods (along with our stars)? The mods could be approved by the authors to make sure it's users we know are active & will report issue posts.

I'm glad I'm not the only regular commenter who is first-worldly torn here.

How does one get followed by Jezebel, etc? Would doughnuts work?

Fewer gifs is good. Those things crash my phone. And I don't need to see, for the 764th time, Bugs Bunny saw off Florida or RuPaul roll his eyes to get your point.

yay! i'll happily go back to being ignored in the greys if it means no more terrible gifs everywhere :D

Did these robberies start occurring around the same time French Montana started showing up? I would imagine his rap skills ain't paying the bills.

Kaitlin Olson from It's Always Sunny in Philadelphia is going to have a recurring role inThe New Girl!!

Nah this is worse. Congress has done historically low, Obama is disagreed with on everything even if it contradicts the republican narrative. When has the president made a foreign policy decision that wasn't instantly criticized? Obama is being sued for over reaching in his executive powers yet was then asked to take…

I was gonna say the same thing. Why they fuck are cops wearing fatigues?

great article. look at that picture, cops wearing camo and fucking boots like this is a war zone. I don't know what it will take to stop this, but the people need to retake the streets from the police. there's clearly a racial element to this issue, but it's even deeper than that and it affects people of all races.

There are reasons why white gun's rights activists can walk into a Chipotle restaurant with assault rifles and be seen as gauche nuisances while unarmed black men are killed for reaching for their wallets or cell phones, or carrying children's toys. Guns aren't for black people, either.

Excellent piece Greg...wow.

250 years of slavery, 100 years of Jim Crow, housing discrimination, police brutality, Congressional vitriol toward Obama...

I am a teacher and I see what the school lunch is. You couldn't pay me to eat that every day. I feel like people who are bitching about this should be forced to eat school lunch every day for all of their meals for a year, because honestly school meals make up the majority of some students' diets. And, we have all…

Lisa 'Kennedy' Montgomery: As parents, we don't need the federal government applying — projecting — these standards upon us.

Fox News isn't actually news, it's an echo chamber for ignorant stupidity, bigotry, racism, and sexism.

Holy fuck balls she is the First Lady. I get that at Fox News it's all editorial bullshit or whatever, but they never would have made comments like this about Laura or Barbara Bush or Nancy Reagan.

This is what years of unbridled Obama-Hate turns these people into. Classless asshats who titillate each other with how far they can go. They hate on the the entire first family, far worse than anyone who's come before, and if anyone says race is not a factor, I'll call them a fucking fool. To their face.

Where the fuck does this fat slug Michelin Man Mr. Stay-Puft Jabba doughboy get off saying the first thing about Mrs. Obama's bum?
