That is mine! Unfortunately Jezebel didn’t include the update. The incident happened just over a month ago. Since then, my daughter has repeatedly (and nonchalantly) said “mummy has a shadow on her back”. She’s not precise about verb tense so I think/hope it’s past tense.

I’ve not wanted to be too hard on Jezebel since the big staff turnover, but, well, this assemblage of stories is markedly worse, in terms of selection, than any previous year. I think most years at least one story is going to be creepypasta, but not so overtly as the two (at least) I caught here! The story about the…

Whew, I’m glad I got to the page before it was annoying re-arranged into a slideshow.

He’s the CEO and slept with an employee. He’s not fired because of the cheating, it’s the abuse of power.

I am kind of a fan of their website and I breathed a sigh of relief that it wasn’t Keith or Eugene (it would be odd if this headline referred to him). I’m fine with Ned being replaced though I’m puzzled as to why this should permanently derail his place in the group.

“I’m sorry I’m just unleashing, but I can’t fuck with people who aren’t political anymore,” she said. “You live in the United States of America. You have to be political. It’s too dire. Politics are killing people.”

No Lizzo? Too obvious? I mean, the first time I ever saw her, she was opening for Sleater Kinney, of all bands, in Toronto.

The most frustrating part of these online hate campaigns is how damn effective they are. The woman needs photos, videos, and a signed confession (which are all just going to be dismissed even if she has it) and all an abuser needs is to say “Nope I didn’t do it” and people go welp he said he didn’t do it, she must be…

And the cheerleader didn’t have that support network because the people in her life boxed her into her head cheerleader trope role, failing to fully acknowledge her humanity. Hence, she doesn’t survive.

I agree with your reasoning. I don’t like either of them, and I do think it’s likely they’re both abusive. But the behaviour of Depp’s supporters is repulsive. You can disbelieve someone without being misogynistic to an insane degree.

I tried really hard not to feel involved or invested in this trial—I don’t know anything about this relationship and I don’t want to assume innocence or guilt when such horrifying accounts of domestic violence exist on both sides.

TechCrunch pointed out this morning that Musk signed a non-disparagement agreement when he put in his offer, and it’s increasingly evident that he either doesn’t know what that means or lacks impulse control. He’s clearly trying to drive down the stock price so he can renegotiate, but I hope Twitter holds the line and…

I would say for restaurants that are not ingredient specific (steakhouse, BBQ, fish fry, etc) 10%-20% of the entrees should be vegetarian.

I agree. What he did is morally repugnant, damaging and f***ing gross, and he should absolutely get a shitton of consequences for it.

This was an abuse of power and gross misconduct, but this was not grooming. Everyone involved was an adult at the time. Grooming, by definition, is something an adult does to a minor. Stop infantalizing yourselves. 

Exactly. This is the most disingenuous nonsense I’ve ever heard in my life. She really does think everyone’s an idiot, but her. 

If Gorsuch and Kavanaugh fooled her, she’s not perceptive enough to be in office.

Why can’t Jezebel fix these slideshows so we can see the whole look without scrolling. You can either see the head or the feet, but not both. Seems pretty obvious that the photos need to be resized. 

It wasn’t mentioned in the article, but I don’t pass up a chance to say this: Megan Thee Stallion is an upstanding citizen and should probably be considered a role model for everyone. Despite a thriving (and growing) musical career, celebrity, money, etc., she still went back to school to finish a degree in a…

I had friends who were alcoholics that treated St.Patrick’s like a sacred holiday. I still drink a little now and then but can’t stand people who live for shit like that. One of those alcoholics went sober but there are plenty more that treat binge drinking like a badge of honor. The facebook memes about this shit are…
