Just once, I’d like to see a little humility at this site when someone posts something stupid. An acknowledgement, apology, open dialogue? For a site that mercilessly judges everyone else for what they say, how they say it, and/or their silence, it sure does give itself free license concerning its own conduct.

There’s some cognitive dissonance or at least confusing messaging, when one considers the same post features Don Lemon’s exhortation for celebrities to use their influence to address racial inequality.

There seems to be a growing trend here in which a celebrity does something innocuous, and Jezebel puts the shittiest, most cynical spin on it. I don’t think celebrities should be venerated. But I also don’t think they should be torched when they do things like (a) responsibility shelter-in-place in the Caribbean…

“But you don’t sound like you know what you’re talking about and that is something I hate even more.”

“John Krasinski should probably stop talking about Jim and Pam, please.”

“Bryant burst into tears as the pie ran down her face.”

IMHO, the SR-71 is one of the coolest things ever engineered by humankind, perfectly marrying form and function. That said, looking past the weirdness of naming their child after an aircraft in the first place, if the SR-71 their favorite aircraft, why did they name their child after its precursor and not the SR-71…

Yes! I love that movie so much. Diaz and everybody else was great in it.

I really like Cameron Diaz. She’s a very good comedic actress and just a likable human being. I’m also convinced that Bad Teacher is an unrecognized gem.

Her recipes aren’t haute cuisine, but I’ve found them to be dependably decent when I’ve used them. Gratefully, they don’t use many exotic ingredients or fancy techniques, which is nice.

Apropos of the only thing I know this guy from (Baby Driver), now would be a great time for Edgar Wright to release half a dozen brand-new films on Netflix, half staring Simon Pegg and Nick Frost (the Starbar Trilogy?) and the other half staring the amazing cast of Scott Pilgrim.

I’m seeing an above-average number of second-home owners in town in my mountain hamlet. I totally sympathize with their desire to get away, and I never want to be an obnoxious local, but come on. If you’re not supposed to be driving 30 minutes for recreation in your urban/suburban enclave, maybe you shouldn’t be…

Fun fact I learned recently. Elizabeth Shue rapidly lost a lot of weight, at producers’ instance, for the beach scene in The Karate Kid. (She was an undergrad at Harvard at the time.) Because that scene was shot early, she said that if you pay attention, you’ll notice that she’s noticeably heavier in the rest of the…

I like the BBC photo of her when she was a teenage dispatch rider during WWII. It’s super charming, but you can also see the amazing bone structure too.

The lifting weights and training part isn’t too bad. It can even be pretty enjoyable. But as a former wrestler, it’s the maintaining 8-10% or less body fat that that truly sucks. Of course, we didn’t track body fat percentage, but we had to make and maintain weight, which is pretty similar. Super strict dietary…

I doubt Jezebel’s readership is either (a) going to vote for Biden to get the nomination or (b) is anything resembling a centrist boomer. I understand why Jezebel would highlight some of Biden’s many flaws, which is fine. But their ceaseless coverage of him goes well beyond that. Given their audience, I don’t…

Oh super, here’s Jezebel’s daily Biden-is-the-worst post.

This site loves to make perfect is the enemy of good. It frustratingly veers so quickly between profound insight and empty (virtue-signaling) snark.

Cognitive dissonance?

I wish Jezebel would move on from it’s near daily focus on Biden’s flaws, which yesterday went so far as to critique his cosmetic alterations between debates. No one here wants him to get the nomination, so it seems like Jezebel is just continuing to beat a very dead horse. It could make better use of its platform.
