He won because he is a misogynist and a racist and energized all those overt and under the radar bigots to come out and vote. See Hitler 1932.

I wonder what the phenomenon is called that whenever a tv show, movie, actor, singer etc. warrants a stand alone post, some commenters feel the need to rush online and declare how much said tv show, movie, actor, singer totally sucks. It’s like (attention seeking) clockwork.

There have been an unusually high number of nasty troll comments as first emblackened replies lately (anything pro choice or pro immigrant related). Rumor has it that a commenter out of the grays is starring them just to fuck with this site.

Also excels mightily at bigotry, racism, and all around assholery.

Not annoying at all! I couldn’t edit after I called my sjster and found out it was the Office of Strategic Services, which was a wartime precursor to the CIA. My dad was a military dude and he said she was a badass, a wartime spy. She still won’t discuss it, we’re trying to get the unsealed records. She never had kids…

I’m glad you’re out. I have a feeling that there are a lot of older folks who for one reason or another, stayed put. While my mom’s friend is 104, she is amazingly not on any medications, has no dementia, and is quite mobile. She is a freak of nature. But that storm surge is frightening. I have been watching NBC, they…

If you don’t hear from them, start blogging on your kinja blog.let us knw, we’ll spread the word.

On the main jez page at the very bottom in the “about” section there are a shit ton of writer emails (you have to scroll down). I don’t see Whitney’s but they are all the same format so you can probably figure hers out. Hit them all up, say you’ll do it for free. This needs to happen.

Hi, I effed that up and it was too late to edit. She was in the OSS (Office of Strategic Services - the WW2 intelligence agency), there was no NSA. The OSS was the precursor to the CIA. I have started efforts to get her war records because the blackout deal has timed out. It should be interesting.

YES! This makes me feel less powerless here in the midwest. Maybe send all of them an email and pitch it. It’s not like they post a ton of stories on Sunday. Throw it at the Deadspin, Slot, and Root peeps too. All of them. We need this.

Not that you don’t have enough to deal with, but maybe you could approach the jez writers about posting to an open thread about the hurricane and your experience. People want to help. You are good at describing what’s going on. Just a thought.

I’m glad you got out. I think she would have but it all just rushed her.

Her WW2 spy shit is available now because of freedom of info but it’s hard to get. Must be good stuff.

Please know at least one interwebs rando will be sending all her safety and good vibes HARD in your direction.

I hope your people are okay. This is all so horrible.

You’re very kind. She’s amazing but still, she’s 104 and that shit is going to hit hard right where she is. There are people helping her but it’s got to be so scary.

They took the info but things are crazy down there. She is amazing and a survivor (WW2, the Depression, technically WW1 even) but this is bad.

Before my mom had a debilitating stroke in her 50s, she used to go down to Florida in the winter. This was after my dad died (we’re not historically long livers). Anyhow, she made friends with an older lady while in Naples FL. Just found out this older lady, who is now 104 (not fucking kidding), is riding out the…

Dan is a sad sad man. Don’t waste your energy on a literal waste of space.

You are obviously delightful and enchanting. It’s weird, I have no fucking idea why I got ungrayed. I would tell if I knew.
