OH oh oh lemme add one more thing about cameras:

Police have some discretion on letting things slide. People like to bitch about cops paying attention to anything other than murder or robbery or crimes they deem "more important" than traffic tickets and shit. If you have a dick supervisor or the public reviewing your…

I can think of a few issues I have with "always on" bodycams that can't be turned off.

1) When I'm in the bathroom. Sometimes during a shift I need to take a poop or change my tampon. Don't record that, please.

2) When you are interviewing witnesses who are skittish about being "snitches". I've seen firsthand people…

I don't know if you know this, but cops aren't athletes that train in kungfu and practicing fighting scenarios all day long just for the sake of defending you. They're regular people who have taken a few crappy classes on law, a bit of self defense training, and policing practices and subsequently thrown onto the…

I don't know what I think about this.

Getting to watch Vlad in his prime was probably the most excited I ever got about watching baseball.

Plain ol' steamed broccoli is delicious. Save the oil/pepper/garlic/'chovy for something that needs it. Or for whatever your main course is.

For serious, though, Hangul is awesome. It was designed in 1443. It is the only widely adopted invented alphabet in the world. The symbols are like lego where the different blocks in each character represent how to sound it out with the mouth/vocal chords. In some circles Hangul is used instead of IPA to indicate…

If I were in front of a camera while that happened I would have totally made it a point to immediately check on the person to see if they're okay (even though it looked very minor) so then I could watch the video later and jerk off to all of the "what a class act" posts I would accumulate.

Well, okay. But that's a circular argument. If you had a regular column in New York Magazine, with millions of hits for every article you wrote, then people would care about your opinions too.

You're inferring a lot of qualities onto Chait's piece (like smarminess, unconsiderateness, supposedly demanding that you shut…

"always, always" is incorrect. It's more like 90% of the time, which leads many people (read: Jezebel writer and commenters) to ignore the legitimate 10%. Kind of like how most people ignore the 10% of thoughtful, rational self-identifying feminists because 90% value ideology above all, same as self-identifying…

Thank you. And hey, lots of women feel this way too so can we stop it with the intellectually lazy habit of dismissing everything we don't like by saying it was written by a white dude, so there's no way there can be anything valid about anything he says? It's that kind of immature, irrational siege mentality that…

Jia, honest question: If this article hadn't been written by a guy, what would you have based your rebuttal of his arguments on? Because I'm a woman but I basically could have written that article. I tend to feel the same way as this guy and I agree with him that while I agree with the generally noble intentions…

I think I speak for everyone when I say that the only suitable punishment for making an ignorant mistake is losing all of your good fortune and having it be dispersed amongst Internet commenters, none of whom have ever been ignorant or asked forgiveness in their entire lives.

Because they don't.

When Adrien Chen outed Violentacrez all the way back in 2012 (an ice age in internet years) I was concerned about doxxing by Gawker Media writers. Michael Brutsch was a gross, hateful dude who deserved to be rolled in donkey poop and kicked through the town square for his publication of upskirt photos on Reddit . Many…

They are sleeping under a tree full of Owls.

Why are you said about how all this turned out? Sad that its possible that a gang rape did not occur? Here's the problem with responses like this to this article...many people want a story like this because they think that this will lead to greater focus on sexual assault.

You didn't just defend the story, you attacked anyone who tried to give it a critical reading (you called them "idiots" for asking reasonable questions). In fact, you are still trying to smear and discredit Richard Bradley by bringing up his past and name change. Anna, this incident not only proved you wrong, it…
