maybe I’m getting too middle class for my own good but I always find the

that is literally the explanation given in the linked explanation above, haha. Less preservatives, less sugar.

Yeah - honestly such a huge misstep and probably speaks to poor hiring practices/management (cough perhaps keeping old white men at the top cough), because there were surely people in the company who sensed their competition wasn’t just Pottery Barn. And data. And all sorts of things.

sure! I’m not sure if this is the exact article I read since I didn’t bookmark it, but it seems to be the same coverage. The CEO actually was the one that came out and said “whoops, we thought our competition was Pottery Barn” (paraphrasing lol).

I read another article on their downfall that was pretty interesting - and documented how they pretty much didn’t know their customer and that mistake cost them everything.

I like it, especially because everyone can kinda watch it and discuss these cases together. I’m all for taking Bachelor-level chatting to the realm of unsolved murders

also wondering this since it seems like there’s a single thread disagreeing, and I don’t think that person is a white woman

ooo shit I had to read this like 4 times because I kept thinking your son was 13 years old. Wow. 

at this point it definitely comes off as too smarmy. I get that a lot of people won’t fully read something that is just plain text - hate it if you want, but that’s true - however, it became like the ubiquitous “breast cancer awareness” with weird save-the-boobie jokes everywhere despite the fact that people with…

Another brand where I’m like Oh, you’re still around? I’ve heard they’re nice but I think they had an easier time of it before the rise of multiple brands doing luxury denim. 

I can appreciate that it feels like a nice jab to a potential rapist to say “we don’t even KNOW you,” but yea. If you aren’t into EDM I can understand not knowing who’s a player, but that doesn’t mean they are a nobody. That’s like saying any book that isn’t Gone Girl is a nothing book because it was published in a…

the full video of this below has me wondering if it didn’t start with the intention of getting something good for social media. It’s not a parking lot dispute, per se, they are filming her and screaming at her because she supposedly bumped the one daughter? That’s what they say on the video and in an article about it.…

I am very over “Karen” just generally... ugh it’s like a boomer-esque millennial joke, truly. The horse has been beaten into a pudding.

yeah. It is really shitty that so many kids in poverty get many of their MEALS from school and are pretty much going hungry right now.

okay but, she’s also not wrong: you guys have barely-there journalistic standards (as Jezebel specifically, but also the click industry at large). Feel free to cruise through some of my latest comments for evidence of this.

it seems kinda nuts that no one fact-checked this and just accepted hearsay as fact. But I guess that’s par for the course for Jezebel writing lately...

I think they could have easily covered the costs of adoption w/the ads - if you can get in good with mommy stuff, there is BIG money there (international adoption is expensive, but from Googling and my general sense of it, $40,000 seems like the upper limit there. I would imagine they could easily be hitting $100,000…

“A final check from Cirque du Soleil will effectively end the unemployment benefits for laid-off workers who had already filed, meaning they will have to start the arduous, sometimes months-long process all over again.”

I could be wrong since there’s clearly more documents involved than what Jezebel cited (LA Times seems to be behind a subscription wall).... but nothing here makes an argument for that

On the one hand, he’s gross. Stop dating girls who who born in a different century from you! I never am down with May-October relationships when the younger person has barely tip-toed out of childhood - there’s ALWAYS an ick factor. Can’t convince me otherwise.
