I used to love Gawker and then, as a substitute, Jez.  Now I just come here mostly out of muscle memory, only to be reminded that the authors here are ANGRY ABOUT SOMETHING, LITERALLY ANYTHING, but also don’t know the value of proofreading :/

This reads like really bland, pointless spon con.

So Walmart’s profiteering isn’t advancing an understanding of what Juneteenth is, they’re only pandering to communities that already know about it

I absolutely get your point. Female comic characters have some serious problems.

Possibly I am getting soft as I get older but I am coming around on Taylor Swift. She is fine. She’s okay. “All too Well” is a pretty good song, even

Who needs an apology though? It’s obvious he’s only doing it to placate the people who still give a shit about this 11 years later. This obsession with people apologizing the right way (which let’s face it, never happens because the people offended by this don’t want to accept an apology however nice it is, or to ever…

I miss Shade Court, when shade was recognized as something with more nuance and wit. Now shade is just another term for any kind of slight. *shakes fist at sky*

So you don’t have to watch the video, here are the 5 features mentioned:

She didn’t nail anything. The Dress was wasted at this event, because it had no bearing at all on the theme. AND she didn’t even look that great in it. Part of Marilyn’s allure in it was how “free” her body was under it. She wasn’t corseted up, she was sensuous. Kim looks freezedried. 

Zendaya’s outfit looks great because she is Zendaya. If I wore it, I’d look like Angela Merkel (nothing wrong with that, but not exactly glamourous). 

This family was on an episode of Below Deck (original) as guests. Between that season and the previous season Captain Lee lost one of his son’s to addiction. Somehow the topic presented itself and watching the captain and this family discuss their loss throughout the episode was heartbreaking. It was a very different…

claiming everyone (who, though?) has been asking him to weigh in on the issue.

Jesus. Leaving out the fact that she goes on and on and WILL NOT SHUT UP and let us just enjoy the seven (well, six, really...Hallows was weak) good books she wrote, what is it J.K. thinks is going to happen if trans women are called women? Is her vagina going to fall off? Will we all suddenly become sterile?

There’s a hundred different angles you can look at this story from, but both the article and most of these comments aren’t really taking into account how this has actually played out. The IOC itself (not to unilaterally defend the IOC, they’re weird and fucked for any other number of reasons) seemingly wants to ban…

I believe this could also be reframed as “SJP Respecting Kim Cattrall’s Wishes.”

What’d they think she was going to say to a bunch of kids at a signing/meet-and-greet?  “Hi there, little fuckin’ kid, how the fuckin’ shit are you?  God damn, you’re a fuckin’ kid alright; how the fuckin’ fuck old are you, about son-of-a-bitchin’ seven?”  FFS.  

They dropped her from the brand for swearing?? Swearing?? Doesn’t the entire team yell “fuck” very loudly in their hype up cheer before a meet?

You’re correct: this place has been gutted.

Vulture capitalists.

Jezebel is next? Are you saying it hasn’t been gutted? I think all the current writers are recent additions, who post almost nothing at night and on weekends, and they seem to have stopped doing SNS (which probably has  been around longer than the cumulative tenure of their writers).
