Jessica, I am so proud of you for standing up for your site, your authors and your commenting community.

I mentioned this somewhere else yesterday, but it should be here, too, even if it's just a technical clarification: most of these trolls weren't using our non-IP-tracked, anonymous "Burner" accounts. They were logging in using throwaway Twitter accounts as verification. So while the overall comment/groupchat system…

Sincere thanks to the tech and product people — both New Yorkers and Hungarians — for working tirelessly and staying up until the wee hours to deal with this. Köszönöm.

yay! i'll happily go back to being ignored in the greys if it means no more terrible gifs everywhere :D

Lauren is at least reunited with her Bogie.

i made a man cry at work yesterday. His work ethic sucks and I am better at the job than him. I thrive on his man tears. They made me young.

Imagine being listened to in meetings! Imagine only being *occasionally* interrupted! You'd have to like, have...ideas...or something.

Dammit Hillary, please don't make this bitter Patriots fan like Michael Strahan. I'm still bitter over the 2007 Super Bowl....oh dammit i can't do it. Mikes one of the few guys on that team i like. I only wish he could have gotten a ring without that 12 year old they have at QB getting one also.

It's okay, my primitive mind has been enlightened. I even know what tonic and jimmies are. And I think I've been forgiven (after 20 years in MA) for once upon a time living in "the south." I keep quiet about the fact that I love New York though!

honestly, my complicate* coffee order probably pisses off so many people. if i was a barista i would just be like NO YOU CAN HAVE A LARGE REGULAR AND A HEARTY SIDE OF GO FUCK YOURSELF >:((((

MOM DID SOME PARENTING STUFF. SOME PEOPLE DON'T LIKE IT AND SOME PEOPLE DO. MORE AT 11.

It's actually quite simple, and mostly consistent: I'm not in favor of doing things the hard way unless the hard way makes the end result taste better. The chowder produced by using live clams doesn't justify the extra effort required to use them, because it doesn't taste better than chowder made using canned clams. …

But it's subtle. As a Boston resident (and Blackhawks fan), I appreciate the hustle.

I think you assume too much of this ragtag bunch of underpaid, early twentysomething bloggers who want to be writers someday.

Oh so white people have "discovered" coconut oil now? That's cute.

This is sad if true, but I'm not sure how "secretive" Beyonce is being planning her divorce with all these sources springing up. Now Katie Holmes. THAT's how you spring a surprise divorce on the world.
