ugh

Thank you for letting me know. It was really upsetting to see that but yeah I guess it makes sense. How did they ever get out of the grays?

Really? The top comment here is disgusting and no one is jumping in to correct this fat phobic garbage? What the heck happened to this community? I miss the 2012 Jezebel so much, I learned so much from commenters here about so many things and I am so sad to see what a withered husk of itself this place has become.…

Do you also cringe when you watch strongmen competitions or Olympic weight lifters or is your anti fat bias showing just a little bit here?

The evidence is unclear about obesity in and of itself as a factor in these outcomes. The vast majority of people with overweight have destroyed their metabolisms through years of yo yo and crash dieting beginning frequently in early adolescence and childhood due to societal pressure to be thin. Many of these people…

I got really into Hollywood history and learning about the sad and tragic lives of stars that were just used and discarded and blamed for the problems they developed due to this treatment really made me see all this stuff in a completely different light.

I think being an idiot significantly increases your chances at massive success in the music and film industries. Most sensible people realize the challenges that come with this kind of fame: the potential for exploitation, the mental health toll etc. and shy away from it or protect their kids from it. The super…

Agreed 100%!

This is soooo creepy!

My experience was similar last week, half empty theater on a weeknight except some jerks brought their 2 year old who loudly disrupted every quiet moment of the film so that I wished I had waited to stream it.

That was my first thought too. Iconic LA artist...Eminem???

Yeah exactly! Hard core Catholics were so mad about Vatican II in the 1960s (the first modernizing reform in centuries) that it directly led to a huge rise in exorcisms (aka torture of the mentally ill) as well as the satanic panic which ruined countless lives. 

Another example: Dr Oz who was a very respected heart surgeon, now a total woo slinging quack. Smart people are just as susceptible to logical fallacies as the rest of us.

Time has always been garbage since the beginning of Time.

Thank you!

The movie thing was baffling to me. I thought it was established that he wants to watch Christmas movies with his KIDS. He’s not sad that he’s missing The Santa Clause, he’s sad that he’s missing quality time with his family. Taking a break to get drunk and watch movies is the exact opposite of what Kate should do to…

But if we ALSO support a bunch of authoritarian regimes, doesn’t that sort of dilute the message?

Foreign aid is one thing but military aid feels like a different thing altogether. 

So these back door subsidies you speak of are just another way public money is funneled into private hands while public services that should be financed by public monies keep getting cut? Is this supposed to be good for society?

I mean, why can’t Israel fund their own missile defense? I am not against international spending to help with humanitarian crises, especially when in many cases we either directly or indirectly caused those crises but Israel is a relatively rich country why are we propping up their military spending? So they can…
