A friend of mine out there who knew a number of people involved (several of whom died) was furious about what she felt was Harris getting railroaded; apparently he saved a number of lives trying to get people out at no insignificant risk to himself. Don’t know the details closely enough to vouch for all the other…

By all accounts these guys were assholes but I don’t really know what purpose sending these guys to prison for 39 years instead of 9 years would solve anyway. And I say that both as a resident of Oakland and as someone who works with people sentenced to 25+ years in prison. We have to stop equating the length of the…

How do you pick sides when both people are just so annoying? As much as Monique has annoyed me these past few months, it just still doesn’t compare to the bullshit aura that comes off of Lee. I feel like Monique is annoying but honest. Lee is annoying and full of it. I give up. Everybody sucks.

Really? MORE likely? That seems...hard to imagine. Where are you getting this information?

Sorry to sound naive, but isn’t it obvious why abortion rights and queer rights haven’t intersected more? Because, um, don’t a lot of queer people, um, *not* have to worry so much about abortion? I don’t mean NEVER, but, you know, LESS?

The name “Thank God for Abortion” is a little provocative. I don’t believe in God (in the Christian sense) so i don’t care whatsoever but i know people who do and might be offended. Unfortunately we live in an anti-civility / anti-PC kind of world now so this is to be expected.

These images will be plastered all over Fox News by the end of the day.  

Where are the captions for your deaf and hard of hearing viewers? I would think Jezebel would be a bit more sensitive in making sure its website is accessible to those with disabilities.

Part of me is proud she is fighting the good fight; part of me cringes at her “thank God for abortions” and “have 20 abortions...we’ll throw a party”. No one person has the same experience when they have an abortion, but mine was not a party. It was relief, yes, but also pain and regret and naivity. Regret that I…

I’m from Indy, or, I lived there for about 15 years. Irvington is a black and white neighborhood, and the whites living there are really progressive/lefty, like super SUPER lefty. This is also suddenly wonderful media on his business set to open in September— whoop, oh opening sooner he says, and it’s now been pressed…

Jokes on you motherfucker, you used black ink!

Yeah I think it might be fake. That’s just not how white supremacists communicate.

To be fair they did nearly spell black as blak. So there is that.

There are way more white people who are like, “OMG the poor black people - they have it so bad! It’s so unfair!” than there are white people who are like “yuck - hate ‘em sight unseen.” But a strong majority are like, “whatever - got my own fish to fry”

It is not that white people dislike you...they spend zero time thinking about your identity the way you spend zero time thinking about theirs...

IIRC it’s not even a crazy story, it’s actually true that the Church auditioned women to date Cruise. It might be false that Scarlett Johansson was one of them, but cults are weird and auditioning women to date celebrities are far from the weirdest stories to come out of Scientology.

>“The very idea of any person auditioning to be in a relationship is so demeaning. I refuse for anyone to spread the idea that I lack the integrity to choose my own relationships...”

a Scripture called Song of Songs. It’s literally all about this woman in the Bible talking about how she wants to get married to Jesus and be with Jesus. It’s crazy.

I don’t think she’s saying Dykstra should shut up. I think she’s saying both sides deserve to be a heard and considered before people decide to cast out Hardwick. 

Katie Holmes is such a paradox. On one hand, she’s duller than dishwater. On the other, she’s the protagonist of the most thrilling and triumphant tabloid saga of...all time? Still waters!
