Even organic farming uses pesticides. I find it hard to believe that you can get equivalent yields without using any pesticides.

Two faculty in my department are at war* over this topic.

I think the simple explanation is that this is the kind of piece Rich writes (long think pieces about the gay condition from a cis white gay perspective) and when Gawker went under, he came to Jezebel. So this is the only venue for him to post such a piece, because they wouldn’t put it on deadspin or gizmodo. I don’t…

You’re missing thebloodfiend’s point. They want gay articles written about people who are not cis men. I’ll also throw “white” in there as well, even though Rich does address some racial issues in this piece. I’ve noticed this trend here as well and agree with blood.

Exactly. Not that I don’t like hearing about gay men. I think Rich is a great writer. I really enjoyed his piece on Prep (written last year I think?)....

I think you’ve misunderstood what Bloodfiend was saying. OP wasn’t saying “women should write more about gay men”. OP was saying “on a website that’s geared to women maybe we should have less talk about cis gay men and their sexual proclivities, and more talk about queer spaces that are inclusive of those that…

I’m pretty sure you completely missed the point. Like Vice, the only gay people Jezebel seems to hire are white cismen to write about their perspectives. I am stating that I would be curious to hear from a lesbian POV from time to time, or a bi man, or a trans man if they have any on staff. Rich and Mark seemed to be…

Not to knock gay men, but this reads exactly like the last two pieces you wrote about gay male sex parties a few years ago. Can... we get gay things on this website that aren’t from the POV of gay men all the time or that too much to ask. Does Jezebel not have anyone gay on the staff that isn’t a cismale?

Because there’s nothing white people love more than a mediocre white man telling them exactly what they want to hear and that their concerns are more valid than anyone elses.

The second paragraph basically says “sure, part of the reason Hillary Clinton lost was because of white supremacy and sexism and bigotry, but let me spend 10000 words explaining how and why that shit doesn’t matter and she was actually the worst.”

I’m still puzzled by those people. Like, Bernie Sanders got demolished in the primaries. If he couldn’t beat a generally disliked candidate how was he going to beat the 24 hour news coverage, the Russian interference, antisemitism and a general irrational hatred for socialism? How does that even work?

This comment tho

These are the faces I had when I was reading Splinter talking about how Hillary Clinton lost the election, and none of the reasons were “because white supremacy and liberal white privilege collided to F us all in the A with no lube”.

I have never been a Kimmel fan, but he just made me one. Can Kimmel, Colbert, and Seth Meyers all get together one night and just lambaste ALL of these bastards?

The Koch brothers have closed their wallets. That’s why the GOP is so desperate to pass this while they still can

Meanwhile, CNN’s resident buffoon, Chris Cillizza, had this terrible hot take of Trump’s speech:

Sounds like shades of Breaking the Waves- which I hated with a passion.

I saw it at the local arthouse, so the, admittedly small, audience was half people who likely knew what to expect and half old biddies who just see whatever because of the senior discount.

Visceral horror isn’t horrific enough?
