Just a reminder...

So Justin Verlander got his girlfriend to say mean things to baseball writers. And his brother’s going to tell them off too. That will show those writers not to fuck with Justin Verlander.

In light of People’s cover with Donald Trump wherein they normalize him and his family and gush about Ivanka being super cute or whatever, I’d ask that we stop including People on Jezebel. We can get our gossip from the other rags.

Hi, are you me? I also lost my father this year and thought it couldn’t possibly get worse... Fuck 2016... ::hugs::

This is, without a question, the very worst year of my life. And I’ve been severely depressed, to the point of being suicidal, in the past. But nothing really compares with the grief of losing my father, of handling the aftermath, and of seeing my country and everything I believe in go down the drain.

Well, what were you wearing when she did it?

My parents didn’t have a clue about what this really meant, and they voted for him. They’d never heard of the alt-right, or Brietbart, or that the KKK endorsed him, or that Mike Pence’s stance on LGBTQ rights is absolutely terrifying. And when I called them to say my boyfriend and I were both scared as hell, and I got…

Hate isn’t rational. Right now they’re not thinking of anything beyond making people of color — and women, to a lesser degree — pay for the crime of thinking they should count as human beings. By the time their actions start having consequences that affect them, they’ll be far too removed to make the connection. Trump…

Civilized countries have them.

I think we need a better word for the relationship between companion dogs and their people. I don’t see my dog as my child and I’m certainly not her parent. But owner/master/gaurdian all seem too sterile to describe the emotional relationship between domestic pet and human.

I mean, yeah, my toddler is way harder than my adult dog. And the guidance of a child requires much more nuance, discipline and constant consideration. It’s also a longer term commitment, let’s be real.

I don’t think most people who refer to their pets as kids or call themselves their pet’s mom or dad are seriously equating the two experiences. As I said elsewhere, there are lots of actual parents who use that terminology when referring to their pets, and I doubt they’re all so delusional as to make a literal…

He would’ve hated Roosevelt, what with him being disabled and whatnot.

Wrong. Tim Kaine would have pulled it out of your ear later.

I’m glad that Real Joe has finally merged with Onion Joe to become the one true Joe we were promised.

Don’t make me laugh. Ha ha ha.

I hate all the “boys talk” about “girls” and “dirty and bad stuff.” We’re talking about a then 59-year-old man bragging about sexual assault, not 7-year-old Donny yelling the word “penis!!” at Nancy on the playground because little Billy told him to.

She’s freaking perfect. Don Delillo couldn’t have dreamed these characters up. We are seriously living through something so beyond satire that the comedy industry needs to invent an entirely new genre. This will never be “over. The corner has been turned.
