I genuinely don’t have a bee in this fight, other than having wasted a solid hour following all the drama earlier today, but a lot of the complaints seem really weak. In the replies to the tweet quoted in this article, people have posted screen caps of the Texas bee lady 1) using power tools and 2) wearing protective…

Pretty simple, stuff takes a long time to produce and a long time to ship, plus there have been worldwide shipping delays since covid started. As soon as the design was approved, it went to the factory and they started making them to get ahead of the delay, assuming the contract would be renewed. Shoes sit in the…

I’ll say it again here on Jezebel, fuck Nike and everything they do and stand for.

Surprised you didn’t put the puns in the title.

Yeah I’m going go ahead and say that I’d bet the cost of a signed Kobe Bryant rookie card that Nike proper didn’t see a dime of profit from the channel these shoes made it out into the wild.  Some warehouse employee with enough access to be able to find unused prototypes in some dusty corner somewhere probably…

Actual and factual. Plenty of us out here during the pandemic weren’t having any problems not engaging with the general public for this very reason - people are the worst. Just things like kids in restaurants acting the fool and the parents who let them, tables of loud adults that can’t handle their liquor, people in…

She was also using a bong and had a tattoo that appeared to be an iron cross, and was with a staffer. Those can speak to if a voter wants her to hold office.

Also, it's in the public interest that Weiner sent photos to a minor, but I don't think it's in the public interest to actually see his schlong. You can report the story without actually sharing the photos.

And in many cases they still are functional options. Spanx and whatnot are sad, sausage casing attempts to modernize foundation garments.

Once the show divulged that the actresses often wore era-accurate undergarments, people went right to the fetish mindset as we have no frame of reference for things like stockings, garters and bullet bras as being anything but fetish wear. But for women back then, they were the most functional options.

If anything watching Mad Men explains why America is the way it is. It's just a bunch of people being nostalgic for a time that never was, while drink and smoking too much. Personally I like Joan's Arc. 

Exactly. Talk about a dumb take. Anyone who actually watched Mad Men would realise that hot take couldn’t be further from the truth. And if any dude who watched it took away that Don was some kind of hero, that would just tell me that particular dude isn’t very bright.

“These historians appear to me to be pushing to find the true historical facts. Based on her own words, many will conclude she is trying to push an agenda, and they will assume she is manipulating historical facts to support it. If asked about it, I will have to be honest in saying I agree with the historians.”

I absolutely support her paying the fine in lieu of doing interviews. She did, however, sign a contract that stipulates either press events or a fine, so the press is absolutely part of the job (or the fine is, which is the road she took.) I think the org is being shitty that she called their bluff and opted to just…

Have you been watching in the last few years? Most people in this country will go along with whatever, as long as it doesn’t directly impede their way of life. Look at January 6th. The last time someone broke into the Capitol was during AN ACTUAL WAR. It was unimaginable that these Trumpists could or would ever do…

And the obligatory, “I want to thank my lord and savior Jesus Christ...”

There is an argument to be made that an active draft would discourage imperialist actions by the Executive Branch.

This is an excellent point, particularly about Congressional families. And no b.s. “advisory” roles, either.  If the Congresscritter’s kids are reasonably healthy and can point a gun in the right direction, they go to actual battle zones.  You gotta wonder how willingly Dubya would have signed off on the Forever War…

I disagree. If anyone is subject to the draft, then everyone should be. And also I think that the families of Congress and the president's cabinet members should automatically be drafted first. Maybe if it's *their* children killing and dying they will be less inclined to start shit.

Look people, don’t pretend that you cared about the holy sanctity of sport press-conferences before today.
