Why are we pretending that misogynists and abusers can’t be Democratic? What evidence at all do you have to suggest he’s some secret agent?

They would have created the law whether protestors walked silently singing slave hymns dressed in their Sunday Best or they came wielding torches and roping up elected officials tarring them (my favorite). The point is this government hates people of color and will make any excuse to kill them. History teaches Riot Act

With everything that we know about the criminal (in)justice system in America, I don’t think it’s fair to judge any black person who is skeptical of cooperating with authorities (especially police).

I work in a grocery \big box combo store in a state with a mask mandate. Every time I read about violent idiots like this asshat I am very thankful my store manager has multiple times stressed when someone is not wearing a mask to call the most senior manager in the store to deal with them, in case it's a violent…

The world would be a more interesting place if Britney’s ex-husband were Jason Alexander, like I first read this, and not Jason Allen Alexander.

Damn, can we celebrate one good thing? Shit, its a pandemic

First thing I thought was: lucky they weren’t black

Race, and racism - explicit and hidden - is a part of everything. Including automotive culture. If you can’t see that, or don’t want to believe that, you’re a part of the problem

So, they raised $5,000 for UNICEF and that’s a bad thing? What did UNICEF do to you? Yes, many people are hurting all around the world. And you’re harshing on folks who tried to do something? Why? What does this article gain? Their next charity attempt may be more successful. Or, maybe they’ll be too cowed from doing…

I think there’s a good chance they only made $5,000 because 30 million people have lost their jobs and health insurance and probably don’t have any money to spare right now. 

Snarking on folks raising money for a children’s charity is...an interesting choice for the tone of an article.

Joan also managed to snark UNICEF in that very special way only Joan can. 

It’s too bad they couldn’t have figured out a way to have each viewer contribute $1 or something to increase the amount. But aside from that, yeah. I’m not sure why deriding their charity raising efforts of recording a 1 song music video to raise funds for kids affected by tragedy globally is the leading dirt bag…

Yeah how much did the staff of Jezebel raise for charity yesterday?

I’m all for snark but come on, every single article I’ve seen on here lately is just shitting on people. The cast of Pitch Perfect (a movie I enjoyed, please don’t come for me) raised $5,000 for singing for a few minutes. They are literally (probably) at home doing nothing and they managed to raise $5,000. If I could…

I’m fairly certain the guy who wrote New Groove blurb is the oldest contributor to this list and I’m also pretty sure that I, who also voted for it, am the second-oldest.

There’s also the issue that reportage rarely focuses on successful efforts to prevent something - H1N1 wasn’t as virulent as everyone feared, but there was also an active effort to respond to it. That effort got folded into the disaster narrative, and it all got thrown out when the system failed to break down.

My aunt was a programmer back in the 80s and wound up re-entering the workforce in the late 90s doing Y2K compliance. She said they all knew back in the 80s that two-digit years would cause the program to crash once the year turned over to 00, but memory was too tight to spare additional digits, and it seemed absurd…

This is really important to remember. A huge number of dedicated, smart, creative nerds spent tons of time and energy...and, yes, earned tons of money in many cases...to turn a disaster into a punchline.  Y2K wasn’t going to rise to the apocalyptic level that some were predicting at the time, but it was going to be…

The Y2K bug was a real thing. It didn’t have any dramatic effects because there was a global Herculean effort to upgrade systems and mitigate damage. There’s a parallel between Y2K and coronavirus, with people in less badly affected regions saying, “clearly Covid-19 isn’t that bad, I mean look at all those empty…
