I agree— I can’t help thinking that the folks who work here (bless their hearts) have a wildly distorted view of (a) this blog’s appeal to the masses outside of the commentariat, and (b) this blog’s importance. It’s a gossip rag that veers into meaty territory from time-to-time. I adore it, but I don’t consider it a…

totally agree. Anna is one of my favorite writers over here but Hillary Clinton does not owe Jezebel anything. This is a weird, entitled take on what should be a pretty cut-and-dry situation. Jez doesn’t like Hillary and hasn’t supported her (even when they do, they are begrudging) and she doesn’t want to be…

Yeah, I like Anna, but I’m still trying to figure out if this article is low-grade trolling or if Jezebel’s writers are just that out of touch with how Gawker Media/Jezebel is perceived in the wider world. Personally I’m shocked Clinton’s camp even pretended to entertain an interview proposition.

this is a perfect comment and I thank you for it

But still: Secretary Clinton and Jezebel felt like a match made in media expediency heaven.

I feel like the active and notoriously unforgiving commentariat is definitely a factor in not giving an interview to Jezebel. I know I would advise a client to not interview with Jezebel unless they were prepared for a full autopsy in the gallery of the comments. Sometimes this picking apart is entirely fair.…

The women on Team Canada won something like 17 out of 22 of the medals Canada won at these games.

Thank you! Not sure how she didn’t make the list, given that those 4 medals she earned means she holds the Canadian record for most medals won by a single athlete in a Summer Games.. hence she’s a record breaker in more ways than one.

i think my favorite part about this is that it isn’t LOOK AT WHAT AMERICA DID (even though we did kick ass!) it’s LOOK AT WHAT THESE WOMEN FROM ALL OVER THE WORLD DID

Shout out to all the amazing women who slayed the Olympics but a special shout out to my black girls who slayed in fields that weren’t always so inclusive I see you Simone Manuel you inspire poc to learn how to swim! I see you Simone Biles you show little black girls they can do anything if they their mind to it. I…

PENNY OLEKSIAK.

Women OWNED this Olympics. So many records smashed.

Woohoo! Now I’ll go back to congratulating myself for running a slow three miles like once a week or not depending on how I feel.

sooooo proud <3 <3 <3

LOL this mother fucker!!!!

don’t do this to us on a Monday morning

Learning that Lauren Bacall disliked Natalie Portman has made me appreciate the late Ms. Bacall a little bit more this morning.

Hiddleston would make a boring Bond IMO, but I dislike the idea that who an actor dates affects their chances for consideration.

I imagine it’s something like when you friend a coworker at your new job on facebook, and see that they have one mutual friend, so the next day at work you’re like “how the hell do you know Sarah, my ex-boyfriend’s sister-in-law?!” and they’re like “oh weird, she was my childhood babysitter for 3 months until my…

Of course Gandalf doesn’t do weddings. There are rings involved.
