Somedays I wish that video games weren’t so outlandish. For example, why can’t Bioshock be real. Why can’t we have an asshole with to much time and to much money be able to build an underwater city where all these assholes who hate the government and hate everyone not like them can live in their own little underwater…

Yes, gender plays a huge part, given that the patriarchal oppressive ideology that motivates the attackers was made by men for men’s power and benefit. But that’s is a far cry from blaming terrorism on some intellectually unfounded concept of “toxic masculinity”.

Maybe I’m being a little extra sensitive because I’m hungry from the fasting, but I don’t appreciate people ridiculing me because I wrote “please not again”.

I’d like to add they also targeted a bus full of women and children on their way to the monastery of St Samuel in Minya, Egypt, a day before Ramadan started.

Baghdad and Kabul are dealing with an actual epidemic (of suicide attacks), not Europe or the West. These attacks are few and far between, and they don’t pose an existential threat to the national security of each respective nation unless they choose to.

Clueless as to what exactly? The US has been at war in Afghanistan for nearly 16 years, which is the longest in its history. President Obama, kind of a fan favorite here at Jezebel, tripled the number of troops in Afghanistan and dramatically increased the number of drone strikes in the country. None of those seemed…

It’s not a fucking epidemic you twat. We are at war, and have been. Your votes and tax dollars have agreed to as much, so it is scary that people pretend we are in a time of peace. In wartime passenger ships got sunk, cities were bombed, underground agents attacked civilians, etc. This war is certainly non…

Tell you what, why don’t you join MI5 and we’ll see how good you are at it?

The real UK. Not the one you think it is by reading the bigots in comments sections. The vocal few will be out spouting off about all brown people being sent home, but the vast majority of the UK will be much the same as before.
Except those folk to the far north, we don’t talk about them because they want to leave…

According to reports the Raqqa offensive is supposed to begin soon. If it was terrorism, that timing may be relevant. These sort of attacks are a way to lash out and both seek to raise the cost of fighting them as well as to help motivate their fighters. They sometimes correlate with expected defeats, particularly in…

I don’t know what anyone can do to stop all this shit, but I do feel confident that that bloated sack of pig feces in the Whiter House will only make it worse. If I manage to live through this regime, I hope that history views it as a fucking neofascist shithole.

This is horrible. I don’t know what can be done to stop these terrorist attacks from happening. Both sides suck when it comes to dealing with Islamic terrorism. U can’t ban all muslims. Even if u did that wouldn’t stop the terrorism. Screaming and demeaning all muslims does the opposite of decreasing terrorism. We…

There will be the usual reaction of comments about muslims, the other comments about people jumping to conclusions about it being muslims, the comments from people gloating when proven right, the calls for prayer (like religion is needed when its twisted religion causing this mess) and of course, the calls for calm.
Li…

Hopefully her hospital visit will cork Piers Morgan’s extraordinarily judge-y cryhole. When I first saw his comments about her apparent lack of compassion and concern for the bombing victims, I spent 10 minutes shouting, “Fuck you!” at my computer screen.

By the time this shit is all uncovered, which could be decades for all we know, this is truly going to make Watergate look like a third rate burglary and Nixon and some of his buddies just went a little too far in trying to spy on his enemies and told some fibs to try to get out of it.

Remember when they all lost their minds that the IRS might be disproportionately targeting conservative groups, but this...is...different...somehow. 

Oh a few will call it “deeply troubling” and that we should keep our eye on it, but we can’t rush into anything hastily.

It is functioning on a system of checks and balances. The GOP interprets it differently, is all.

I’m 100% sure the response will be a rousing chorus of “BUT OBAMA!!” And Fox News will find one single example of delay given to Republicans that they’ll then broadcast 24/7 .

And yet, the Republicans in Congress won’t be even the slightest bit annoyed with this (though a few may pronounce token opposition), even though it yet again neuters the idea that Congress is in any way not just another arm of the White House.
