I was pleased to hear discussion on NPR of it - they kept calling it a disease, saying that he "died from depression" which is the right way to say it. People do not understand how different depression is from their bad moods or grief they sometimes have.

I think this again highlights what another post from last week was saying about how people just do not understand depression. He was not a 'coward', he was being crushed under a weight so heavy no one can even imagine it unless you have the misfortune to live through it. He couldn't go on anymore despite his fame,…

More importantly it suggests intent to kill rather than just intent to injure. The courts might find that interesting.

Look at what this psychopath posted on his Instagram two weeks ago:

The press needs to stop calling this a beating or an attack. It's attempted murder and sexual assault. The woman was forced to watch her friend get beaten, then she got beaten, stabbed, sexually assaulted, threatened with further rape, tortured, and the only reason she's alive is because he decided to go look for a…

I dunno, it's pretty hard to come with a context for "unarmed teen gets shot multiple times by police officer after running away following a physical altercation" that makes much sense.

Can you explain why Mike Brown was gunned down in the street while James Eagan Holmes, who killed twelve people and injured 70 others after opening fire in a movie theater, was escorted into a squad car?

The craziest thing to me in the aftermath of these killings is how accepting most people are of the militarization of the police. I fully expect that when video footage is found (dashcam or otherwise), Mike Brown will have done nothing that could warrant a reaction with fatal force, but people will still look and…

So true! I was noticing how cute the Birkenstocks looked on the skinny, 20-year-old ladies with nice pedicures. They don't look THAT great on my husband (who wears them year-round. With socks in winter), but it's nice to know that he's been so fashion-forward all these years.

Happy birthday!

UGH the coat cape. Hate it, hate it, hate it. ACTUAL capes, though? I covet one. Saw a gorgeous navy blue cape with leather trim in Ralph Lauren a few years ago. Sadly it cost more than my car, but I live in hope of finding a reasonably-priced alternative.

I WORKED SO HARD FOR THAT PRETTY STAR.

We used to have a waiting period - the 'try-outs' for comments and it took sometimes a week or two to become approved. I'm starting to really miss that.

No, and fuck you. Jezebel should be able to post articles about whatever they damn well please without having to deal with rape gifs and gore porn and whatever the fuck else. Those are being used as a silencing tool, and your comment is no better.

There are possible solutions/mitigation methods for this issue - putting a waiting period on created burner accounts before they can post images, limiting the number of images that can be posted on a burner account within a certain period of their creation, etc. - but I doubt Denton is willing to do anything that…

Thanks for this, guys. I hate that your employer isn't doing anything and I hate that readers and staffers have to deal with this.

Prior to Kinja, I headed the trollpatrol team for Jezebel, as many people here know. We dealt with rape gifs, violent pornography, racism, and harassment regularly, but there was a system in place with which to have it reported and dealt with. Banning didn't usually result in the same person immediately making a new…

How can we support you? What can readers/commenters do to push Gawker Media into action?

That was a Gawker article, idiot.
