I kind of miss when this site was just an internet truck stop for Cardi B worship, and unhinged commenters writing long form essays full of toxic screeching and name calling. 

I just scroll through jez article headlines for comment count, and anything with a high number I go immediately to check out the arguing, name calling, virtue trolling, and occasional outright threats of violence. It’s like reality TV. I know it’s unhealthy and I try and not expose my eyes and consciousness to base…

Honest question:

Hot take here but The Get Down was terrible, it looked fantastic but the writing was embarrassingly bad. Imagine if an apple commercial reimagined what it thought the 70’s should look like.

This article sent me into a rabbit hole of learning how UV light is used to treat neonatal jaundice. Fascinating stuff, worth a read.

I am a former K9 handler for the Department of State, who specialized in explosive detection. I was a bomb sniffing dog handler, working at airports and military bases across the eastern US. My K9 partner, pure bred Belgian Malinois with 18 months of highly specialized training from both the Dutch and US military,…

Aggravated sexual assault, like in Zoe’s case, carries serious, serious prison time. If convicted, Noth is going to do years, decades in prison. If…

I served in a special operations command combat unit with the absolute highest physical fitness standards in the military. The average operator walking around the compound looked like a chiseled comic book character, and The nature of our job required a level of physical fitness and ability that is so high our unit…

I served multiple tours on Afghanistan and Iraq in a special operations unit. My motivations for joining the military were righteous, I was a young non white kid from a very very poor family and I wanted to do something that would make my deceased uncle proud of me, he had been a decorated WW2 veteran.

Ironic that your comment is about not everyone needing to hear about someone’s opinion, yet you used the word “I” sixteen times 

Hands down the most slept on fighting game ever. It was legit light years ahead of its time 

Nah, you won’t. On a progressive blog talkin about shooting .. “WHAT I WOULD DO” - shut your candy ass the fuck up, clown

At some point Smollett and his team will apologize, make a statement claiming that this was all a piece of performance art designed to raise awareness for hate crime in America, cite his prior substantial work with the LGBT community, and be praised as a hero, all the while questioning the motives and methods used by…

No matter the outcome, JS will be praised as a hero by many for “starting a dialogue” or something similar on how hate crime is judiciated, and Jezebel /Slate/ The Root will benefit materially and profitmonetarily from the rush of clicks and page time. Everybody wins. JS’s camp will spin this as some form of…

Why would anyone want to fight some hipster white chick?

“Now there they go again, the dopest bros Nigerian, And now the world around me begins moving in slow motion when - Abimbola and Olabinjo happen to walk by - why does the apples of my eye, Overlook and disregard my feelings no matter how much I try?”

Definitely sounds like the guy has some mental health issues in the background if this all shakes out the way it’s looking. This is such an elaborate and crazy plot, it can only be the concoction of someone in need of serious help. It seems as though JS has some seriously oblivious or predatory enablers around him
