I love Jezebel, and come here 99.9% of the time for the humor... that said..

If you look at Table 2a, the R(squared) for psychopathy is .024, and .023 for everyday sadism. R(squared) is also ideally adjusted for inflation, which these are not. Thus, what they are essentially saying is that 2% of the variance in psychopathy, and 2% of the variance in everyday sadism, are accounted for by taste…

N=500, ambiguous definitions of all independent variables, ambiguous dependent variable, and no good theoretical justification of results? Published in a field known for a low rate of replicating results? This is very likely to be a publishable false positive.

Good job Jezebel hack author #11004 you have managed to assemble an article and hit publish. Please accept your Jeze-chips (currency only valid at GawkerHQ) and continue working.

Everytime I see his face I can’t help but think of this painting of him done with menstrual blood. I feel like that’s a good thing.

In all fairness, most of the time when I hear people talk about white women and yoga, it’s usually not very favorable...

I know you already did Harijuku girls but there was that time Avril Lavigne made that music video where she essentially turned the Japanese women behind her into ethnic props for a music video called "Hello Kitty"

You CAN enjoy pho! Pho is delicious. Just like, don’t act like it’s some cool new food that you became hip to before everyone else.

Gwen Stefani should also be listed under bindis. She wore them a lot in the 1990s and was not called out for it much at the time.

The thing about Blackfish was that it also showed how little SeaWorld cared about the people who worked for them too. They know those animals can be dangerous and they have underpaid and benefitless workers jump into the water with them.

Ah, so you’re choosing to promote the idea that he didn’t want to live in a non-captive environment because reasons, rather than the likely truth that he hind around humans because he associated them with food - “if I let this kid ride on my back, I’ll get a fish” had been drilled in to his brain since he was young.

No, what we’re saying is that deliberately, artificially breeding whales into captivity in the name of profit when we KNOW that they’ll lead miserable lives is reprehensible. You can keep trying to cast my objection as an objection to artificial insemination all you like, ain’t nobody going to buy it.

I mean, it's not at all like orcas are being kept sex separated and broken up into unnatural, non- pod groups as it is. I'm SURE there are zero orcas being kept in solitary confinement by Sea World or their ill.

It’s interesting that you seem to think that you can judge orca motivations for doing things but no one else can. How do you know “they choose to stay in human care” and don’t just have an automatic fear response to a situation they don’t understand? Would that be because that’s how you would interpret a human in that…

Birth control is also common in zoological facilities. What’s your point?

depriving a social animal of the right to reproduce is inhumane.

You know how we are like “ug, back in the day they used to give opium to babies every night to calm them down?”

I also think they wanted the “real person challenge” do not involve poor innocent fans or family members of other designers. It’s always the most infuriating challenge, because the designers are such assholes to non-model sized clients. There’s always at least one person trying not to cry because the designer made…

Having Tim Gunn stop believing in you would be 947 times harder than having Tyra Banks stop believing in you.

I think so too. Doesn’t it imply that if he doesn’t get the nomination, he’ll still run? That’s a good thing.
