Oh lord, make them bitches with some cream and chicken broth, then pile some grillades on top and no, no they aren't filthy, they are a beautiful carrier of meats. A creamy vessel to send tender, succulent pork to its funeral in my maw.

"More then 2hours and no tweet about all the shit weve [sic] done," one complained.

Sweetheart, did you read the piece? No? Then shut the fuck up.

"Fuck the 83 104 79 98 73 PctKKKK." Here, the ambiguity of online communication was not a problem.

I'm not anti-gun. I grew up in a place with guns. I understand their utility. But the reason I've never bought one — besides the difficulty of getting a CHL license in New York — is that it's another thing someone can wrestle away from me and use against me. I just don't think it's a solution to the larger issue.

An actual crime...like stalking? Like that actual crime that he actually did commit?

Wow. Outstanding piece, thank you so much for sharing your personal story along with the truly stellar research and interviewing. I'm really glad you're at Jezebel, your articles are always among the best on any given day.

Here's a cool and cheerful thing (but a small thing in context): if you have a credit card stolen and have losses on it before you cancel it, you can go to the Secret Service. They will try way harder than the local cops to catch the perps, because their portfolio, in addition to protecting the President, is…

omg SCRUPLES!! Hey you forgot LACE.

Jesus Christ. This is a great article (you are becoming one of my favorite writers on here) and I'm so sorry you're going through all this.

I went though this with an ex several years ago, which I shared a while ago under an old Jez handle. What's infuriating is how people hide behind the ambiguity of the internet to harass an intimidate. In the case of my ex, who was always something of a wannabe writer, I got many threats masked in "writerly"…

Anna, thank you so much. I have loads to say and this is perhaps not the best place to say all of it. In my years of moderating Jezebel and Groupthink (nowadays Groupthink), I've faced a lot of horrifying trolls myself. The other mods and I have had to contact police before, block doxxing attempts, take care of…

Last year, I reread the trifecta of '80s goodness: The Thorn Birds, Scruples and Master of the Game. I highly recommend you all do the same.

True story:

It costs between $1000-$1500 on average. Cities often magically find money in the budget to test them when someone makes a big enough deal about a particular case, or if they suspect a serial rapist. But continually rape kit processing is put at the bottom of the priority list when creating yearly budgets and the…

There are many more independents and liberals here in the heartland than Mike Huckabee wants to admit. He already knows it but that just didn't fit on the banner that he fingerpainted with Scott Walker and Rick Perry during Arts and Crafts hour.

As a representative of the "American Heartland" woman, in my forties, I hate to break it to M. Hucks, but we've been smoking, swearing, fucking, and drinking in the flyover states for quite a while now. Wearing pants, voting, showing our ankles, the whole shebang. It's like we think we're people or something.

She just grew up in a different time. Her mother and grandmother were tough and strict and probably she reacted by being a bit more lenient with her children. But I don't know how much of a normal life one can have in that family, strict or not, it's kind of a unique situation.
