You seem to know a lot about Griner’s packing habits, standard Russian airport procedures for contraband screening, and what the Russians knew about was in her bag on previous trips. Very specialized knowledge - you should share your information with Jezebel, they can update their reporting.

There wouldn’t be any charges to trump up if she didn’t give them an opportunity to by traveling with illegal substances, so I’m sorry, I still think this is mostly on her. Maybe I see it differently because I travel so often for work and because my family is spread out in different countries, so I’m very aware of…

Part of the reason we know so little is because the family has asked for privacy. That might be in order to avoid her case becoming prominent enough that the Russians would have more leverage by extending her detention. So, Jezebel might not be doing Griner the favor it thinks it is by bringing more attention to it.

At some point, yeah, it’s on her for having drugs in a place that’s known to be super harsh about it. I’m the stoniest stoner there ever was and I would never take drugs to a place or in a place or from a place like that. 

I feel for her but I don’t think the situation would be much different if Russia hadn’t invaded Ukraine. Anyone traveling by air should know better than to bring illegal substances. Even if you’re traveling in the US domestically from one state where it’s legal to another state where it’s legal, technically because…

As someone who loved “Power of The Dog” and loves Sam Elliot.
And listened to the WTF episode in full.
I have to say this an example of people editing what someone said in order to be out raged.

Jennifer Lawrence was so not believable in that movie. 

Enh, sure — I’ll watch it.

It’s Harry Potter with curly “Weird Al” hair

But a child shouldn’t have to be *an orphan* for a someone to adopt them.

Just for the record, their rosé IS delicious. I can kinda understand why he’d be pissed about this.

I thought that was her calf muscle. That I see now it’s actually her knee it’s worse. No one has knees that smooth.

Two words: Celebration, Florida.

Sure he does. People take way less than their labor is actually worth all the time, it’s one of the big issues of our time and part of the whole minimum wage conversation. It’s not insulting to say that they should be paid more, it’s insulting that they don’t get paid fair wages from the jump, even if they’re…

I don’t really get this point - there are lots of people who are great at their jobs and have a ton of experience who accept underpaying jobs. And there’s a lot of reasons why that may be the case - maybe they don’t know what they’re really worth, maybe they do but are happy with the status quo, maybe they value perks…

Could they BE any cuter?!?!  Mazel tov to these lovely kids!

This person gets it. 

This is not a well researched article based on fair comparisons (shocking for Jezebel, I know.)

Valieva has been happily infantilized in the press, noted for liking stuffed animals and her dreams of traveling the world.

The original trilogy actually had a few dwarves off to the side during the meeting in Rivendell when they were deciding what to do with the ring. They are portrayed more realistically. the Hobbit dwarves looked like someone tried to style them after a cartoon version of a dwarf and look silly.
