Are you. Fucking. KIDDING? The ONLY thing we know is that he has been married for decades. That. Is. IT. He has been with his wife since she was a teenager and let’s not forget that her mother was his long time girlfriend and she found naked pictures of her daughter in his fucking house, and that is irrespective of…

They didn’t ask the follow-up questions to the people involved since they weren’t interested

Jezebel DIDN’T ask followup questions. Now, it is entirely possible that the NYT wouldn’t have investigated if the rumors hadn’t been published in jezebel, but jezebel was not doing investigative journalism here. At all. I would say that most likely their stories resulted in a NYT investigation

Hmm. I am intrigued by this line of thinking. I definitely think Weinstein was probably thrown under the bus - not that I don’t think he should be prosecuted for his crimes but that i doubt he was the only one. However, how do you get higher than a studio head? He’s pretty much as powerful as you can get, no?

David should guest star and I will be in nerd heaven

There was this amazing episode of This American Life in which they interviewed two people, a man and a woman: the woman’s father and mother had been killed in a mass shooting, and she had a gun but she didn’t have it on her and she felt that if she’d had access to her gun she’d have been able to stop the killer. She…

I am so sorry this happened to you. And I am sorry your colleagues laughed. I hope things will soon start improving.

Gave Reed a ring? You mean Young?

I will never shut about this but fucking James Patterson - whose books I abhor but are perfect for 12 hour flights - once wrote a book in which one of the main characters was a woman. And the woman is straight and talks about how some guy is too good looking to be gay.

I actually remember when the Gap had pretty high quality clothing, It is not any cheaper than it used to be, but now the clothing falls apart like that. It’s not quite H and M levels of badness, but close enough

I have had drinks with a random guy who hit on me on the street and I know someone who met her husband when he stopped her on the street to hit on her. I think some guys hit on women because sometimes it works.

I actually think it CAN be complicated. Like, some guys hit on you and you say no and it’s no problem. But sometimes, a guy hits on you and it makes you feel uncomfortable but he didn’t actually say anything that was inappropriate. All you know is that you feel uncomfortable. So what is that? I think that might be…

I don’t think people are convinced that terrorists are all people of color. There is no mass hysteria over East Asian or Hispanic/Latino/a killers. It is focused on people who are from, or whose parents are from, Pakistan or the middle east, all Muslim people, and Black people, to a lesser extent.

The mass shootings though...it’s almost always a white guy. Like, every time.

I KNOOOOOW. I remember Jordan Catalano pressuring Angela Chase about sex, telling her she was being immature, but.....

I miss Gawker so fucking hard. Loved. IT. I read it back when it was a fucking PUBLISHING blog. I got hooked in 2003 and stopped in 2011.

I hadn’t read jezebel for years and years, not since 2011 or so, but I’d read it obsessively beginning in 2009 and sporadically since 2007 or so and in that time, jezebel did a really bad job with its male writers. Like, I remember there was this one dude, he wrote on the weekends and I wrote coment after comment…

I am pretty sure Eve Ensler was quoting from the woman who’d had sex at the age of 12 with a grown woman.

Anne Frank was German, but her family fled to Amsterdam.

No evidence. He just makes my skin crawl.
