But Jezebel wouldn’t be as exciting without the obligatory histrionic reactions. 

Right? I’m friends with several, and most of them are gay men. 

There are a lot of factors we don’t know, such as their Alaska status. The reason this could be important is that TPG’s Facebook post of this story revealed a commenter who said he was on this same flight, seated in first class. He said they were among the last to board, so it’s possible they didn’t check in until the…

I’m also a heartless bitch who won’t give up her seat for a couple. Up until a few months ago I had a rule in which I’d always switch with a parent-child couple, but the last time this happened the mom just planted herself in my aisle seat and acted surprised when I showed her my ticket, then laughed me off and said…

Just try that with me. It won’t work. There’s a reason I select my aisle seat in advance. 

In The Points Guy Facebook post one commenter was seated in first class and overheard flight attendant conversations that indicated they may have been inebriated. They also boarded right before closing the doors, so it’s possible their seats had been reassigned. One of my siblings works for Alaska and they have an…

Right?? I hovered over those toilets!

I’m actually impressed that 1. Target is using an agency with creatives who are even old enough to be aware of CBGB, and 2. Target internal teams approved the concept.

Except regardless of pants size, there is a bigger issue: even if this demographic is willing to vote for a super-likable charming male candidate, then what? They have repeatedly proven they are impatient and unreliable for voting consistently in off-year elections and from the ground up (change requires a long-term…

I’m a pessimist (and old to boot), but I still refuse to give up in that respect. Personal experience will always be a major factor in voting patterns, and I’ve seen way too many unqualified men promoted above super-fucking-qualified women. As I see it, why should red state morons’ desires take precedence over mine? I…

I don’t think the argument is to vote for a white man just to vote for a white man.

Except that the primaries are my only opportunity to “send a message” and apply pressure to other candidates. Even if the general election candidate isn’t my first choice (or even despised) I still vote the lesser evil because I’m not an idiot. 

Also, yes I’m still irritated at how he doubled-down on single payer with resource-wasting theatrics after it was clear we couldn’t include a public option during the ACA negotiations (I guess he was able to get additional funding for his district, but whatever).

On “free” as a term to describe what other developed countries consider infrastructure, I can’t understand why (some) Bernie supporters believe this is a selling point to the demographics they’re trying to convert. I fully support tuition and universal health coverage, but just like your interstates all the way to…

This is exactly what I’ve been saying, and I suspect there are Bernie supporters who may now be admitting to themselves that Ocasio-Cortez represents what Bernie could have been had he remained in Brooklyn and nurtured an early political career here (as opposed to a relatively easy environment). She’s easily twice as…

Echoing Misanthrope, I’m not a Bernie supporter because I think he receives a lot of unearned accolades given his particular political path (via “big fish from a rural area”). I do think if he had remained in Brooklyn and pursued his career in the same way his mentee is now, he would have had the benefit of building…

I’m not in her district, but definitely would have voted for her over Crowley (unlike the newcomer Patel in my own district, who was completely unconvincing). I think NYC’s diversity is its greatest strength, and a mixture of ages and strategies on our side is included in our melting pot.

I was super surprised to see he is only 39 years old. Republicans tend not to age well but sheesh. 

Don’t make perfect the enemy of the good.

Hahahaha I haven’t watched the video, but scrolling by the still frame his profile, attire, and stance screams Young Boomer.
