My dad used to joke when I had braces that all I needed in addition to those railroad tracks were glasses and then I would never find a husband.

“If you’d just BRUSH your hair more often it would look good!”

Well, no. What Jezebel should have done was keep all the excellent writers it had, instead of Denton retooling it as “the primary voice for celebrity and pop culture coverage in the network.”

Why do you jump to that conclusion? You don’t think subsidized child care, better parental leave, changing gender roles and reducing sexism in society might be more productive than compelling women to work in fields they don’t want to/are hostile to women?

Um, RIP to

I love how a day after the story about the sexism at Gawker Media broke John Cook issued a layoff memo saying that Gawker is going to be about hard core politics and Jezebel is going to do more celebrity gossip and beauty articles.

I’m firmly team “do not buy gifts for your boss”. You can gift down (your staff, assistant, etc.) but gifting up is awkward unless you have a significant personal friendship. Your boss doesn’t want you to spend money on her.

He says that, but I can’t count how many times I’ve been getting lunch with him, his phone rings and he tells me, “Sorry, it’s God. I have to take this.” Then I’m left there looking like a stooge to all the other customers like, “Oh... he just got ditched by the Pope!” So I bitterly end up stealing a bite of his…

I remarked to my girlfriend after she heard about this story that “if I ever get that kind of brain damage from anything, please, pull the plug. I don’t want to survive that.”

To which she said “if I found out you got brain damage after a night in a whorehouse, I’d gladly pull the plug.”

I think gloves are a good idea if you’ve got open wounds on your hands and/or long fingernails. Anything else can be addressed by proper handwashing. Gloves are a HASSLE and add to restaurant overhead, and, as stated, are a bit of a disaster environmentally as well.

Male violence is the worst problem in the world.

It’s important to note that Daesh is a loose acronym but also a play on words in Arabic -an insulting term that originated amongst Syrians. The group calling itself the Islamic State hates that term. Furthermore, using ‘Daesh’ undermines the aspirations of the terrorist group to be recognized as a caliphate and state.…

That’s top notch crowd logistics right there. Multiple incidents outside with possibly more developing. The safest place those people could have been was inside that stadium. If you let them all out, not only could it lead to panic and stampedes, but possibly a coordinated attack is awaiting them outside.

I think it was a fantastic job by the responsible people to prevent mass panic. They had no idea what was waiting outside until the police secured the area, and they had to get a huge amount of people out of the stadium without causing any panic. To wait until the game was over and then to open up the gates to the…

Selena Gomez’s situation is really scary. Stalkers are terrifying beyond words in terms of how close they often get to their target.

The zoo one’s are pretty cool too.

Having worked for UPS and from what I know, even if the package had shed its label, there’s a whole huge department just for that purpose. They are supposed to look up the item anyway they can, make a new label and send it on its way. Something more is going on and its UPS’ fault.

I liked Ashley and thought she was being bullied. I keep forgetting how young she is. I enjoyed that she trying to make cute plus size clothes for women and she pushing against what people expect for plus size.

Wait, wait—he got rid of health insurance for RAs and TAs? Dude should be tossed into the manure lagoon at the biggest dairy farm in the state for that.

A lot of the problem came when they switched to Lifetime and one day challenges became the standard.
