His apology was good, but that doesn’t automatically mean he deserves forgiveness. Doing everything he promised to do (listen to women, change his behavior, etc) is still just barely meeting the standards of basic human decency. He doesn’t need any cookies for that.

Good. He SHOULD feel guilty.

Not to mention, his behavior was exposed years ago. If I, a casual Gawker reader, knew this years ago, why are so many men “surprised” by it now?

I’m sorry, but how the hell did any of you get this far without knowing this about him? Gawker exposed this YEARS ago. Somehow no one seemed to care until just now.

That person is a troll. I keep flagging her but no one’s done anything. Some of her posts seem legit in context, but if you go through all of them it’s pretty clear that she is A) trolling, B) about as black as I am*, and C) intentionally acting like a gross racist caricature.

No need for an apology! I understand where you’re coming from. I probably should have specified in my original post that I’m Jewish myself, because criticism sounds pretty different coming from outsiders.

I don’t hate myself enough to read it even once, tyvm.

Elizabeth is smart, I will grant that. I have flagged her a couple of times but she is very good at not writing bannable stuff. WifeWithAPurpose is pretty good at it too. You can tell they are being very careful about saying things in code and tiptoeing around the rules.

YES.

I wish we had DMs on here, because I also make a hobby out of monitoring Twitter Nazis. I have an innocuous fake account that follows them, and I periodically go in from my regular account and report all the Nazis that the first account follows (just in case someone who works at Twitter can see who reported the…

It’s true, but so short-sighted. You’d think they’d want their kids to grow up in a better economy & in a society with less crime.

Rahm Emanuel is the worst. I’m still disappointed he didn’t lose his job over the fallout from the Laquan McDonald case.

I wonder if someone thought they knew all about “dairy allergies” (lactose intolerance) and didn’t think it was that serious. I knew someone else who, for that reason, had a hell of a time getting the school to understand that her daughter had an anaphylactic reaction to dairy and could not even be in the lunchroom…

You would think that even the most cold-hearted, mercenary, “pro-business” Republican would realize that locking up so many regular people just for not paying fines is stupid and bad for the economy.

And let’s not forget that Twitter knows exactly who the Nazis are, because they are legally required to hide them from German users.

How about this compromise: they hand out little blue checkmarks to anyone who can prove their real identity corresponds to their Twitter identity.

On average, we are the wealthiest religious group in the U.S. The average Jewish family makes *twice* as much as the next religious group on the list (Hindus, FWIW). We have never faced pogroms in the U.S. We have almost never faced the kind of injustices that black Americans have faced, and certainly not recently. We…

Yes ... I am Jewish and quite familiar with all of this history. I don’t see the point of tooting our own horn like this on a site geared toward black people though? Like, they have more important shit to deal with than listening to us brag about our superior ally cred.

When you think about how hard it is for black women to get into positions of power in this country, it makes sense. You can’t be where Maxine Waters is without being tough as nails and brilliant, too.
