Jezebel is consistently bad at politics. Everything is surface level, there is no depth to any of it, and the analysis is often completely wrong.  They’re about clicks just like everyone else, so this sort of vapid, off-the-cuff stuff reigns supreme.

There’s an entire genre of “rape revenge” movies where the rapists are eventually murdered in spectacular ways—it’s practically the whole point of those movies.

Don’t forget wear a dog as a hat! I’m digging it.

taggjng the cleanse maker or whatever is also pretty advertise-y. it’s not like she was just casually talking about taking a break from spicy foods; this was basically a promotion of the cleanse and is pretty in line with a lot of diet culture nonsense that seems opposite of what she supports. so, of course it drew…

I mean, anyone who spreads bullshit “detoxifying” pseduo science should be challenged, but only because it’ s bullshit pseudoscience and it primes people to believe other bullshit if it’s not challenged. Same with alkaline water. No evidence that any of it does anything. No one can name the supposed “toxins” this shit…

WTF is an Eneba?  Seems keys are not even from them but random merchants - is this safe?

if chris christie didnt exist he might. 

Look...Ian...I mean this in the nicest way possible, and I say this as a fellow progressive who has tried to get people to vote for Bernie twice in a row, and this isn’t directed at you specifically but at the group you are currently representing with this article...but please, shut the fuck up.

Yeah.. I understand this isn’t as progressive as many on the left would prefer, but to say it’s “very little substance” is just a gross misuse of that phrase — it’s incredibly substantial, with concrete policy goals and figures.

“Much like Biden’s presidential platform, there’s very little substance here”

Yeah I think the bigger issue is that our history focuses so much on white historical figures. There were black African queens and there’s a ton of tribal history that could be covered, but we’re stuck retelling Cleopatra’s story over and over again. How about something about the Mali Empire instead? 

Or, y’know, Hollywood could expand its embarrassingly basic supply of go-to historic women and retire the Cleopatras, Marie Antoinettes, and Queen Elizabeths (I & II) once and for all. 

There are no shortage of fascinating, badass women throughout history, from all over the world, but sure, break out the eyeliner and…

I would like to confirm that you are a bad person.

it’s not “monopoly over the smartphone market”, it’s “monopoly over the sales process of software/services for the iOS platform”. There are literally no alternatives to Apple’s App Store unless you jump through hoops of hackery. You want to buy or sell software or services for iPhones and iPads, it goes through Apple,…

Except there’s no effectively mandatory long-term lock-in with Disneyland. You can go to the park for a day and leave, no muss, no fuss.

As the US Supreme Court ruled in the Microsoft vs US case regarding its antitrust behavior, companies can get off with virtually no punishment if they would just allow the device manufacturers the choice to preinstall competing apps out of the box. This was what Microsoft agreed to and got off unscathed. Microsoft was…

Microsoft got nailed just for including IE.

This isn’t as ridiculous as you imagine.

I mean, RDR2 has ghosts, vampires, aliens, cave trolls, cannibal villages, etc. I think the idea that RDR2 was aiming for historical accuracy is flawed. It does try to make the point that the hollywood depictions of the wild west weren’t ever real while also basically being one of those depictions. But its aim was…

Anyone else picturing how this article would have been written if the game HAD included those elements?

“RDR 2 is incredibly unwelcoming to people of color. Everywhere there are signs that say “whites only” and “no blacks”. NPCs react differently to your white character and your black counterparts in the game...”

I have given birth to none. I have fostered seven in my home. I have financially supported two Africans throughout their childhood. I am auntie to none by blood, I am auntie to at least 10 otherwise. I have pics of Japanese, Ethiopian and Caucasian kids on my mantel right now. But I take great care NOT to elevate…
