Pretty sure the reference is to Tara Reade’s accusations against Joe Biden.
I mean, if I were both unethical and cynical, I too would be very tempted to take advantage of a movement that thinks valuing granting the accused due process even outside of the confines of criminal law is a tool to sustain systems of sexism and racism.
I was thinking the same thing, reading this.
You added the link but haven’t bothered to update or add a correction to your initial post. Cool.
In a(n) (un)surprising twist, her own apology for attacking someone’s “non-apology” to false accusations is itself a non-apology.
But these aren’t reporters maaaan. They are just hip bloggers who call everybody “awful”. Don’t pin the label “reporter” on them. Unless they are rebelling against the owner of this site. In which case they put on George Washington’s wig and talk about how they are doing the valiant work for the fourth estate, keeping…
It almost seems as if, as a general principle, it would be sound to give people the benefit of doubt, before rushing to conclusions. Almost as if the blind belief in accusations is unwise before a proper investigation is completed.
Last October, Morse was 30 years old. Do we know how old Andrew Abramson is?
I agree hitting on a student isn’t a great look, but if we’re talking about a 30-year-old flirting with a 25-year-old grad student, that’s a different vibe than a 45-year-old chasing freshmen.
In any case, I guess it’s good to remember…
So ... Joe Biden got the most votes. That’s what happened.
This...could pretty much be Jezebel’s new tagline. Kind of like how they keep shoving Cardi B down our throats, in spite of her being a noted transphobe. It’s totes O.K. because Jezebel has trans writers! I posted an article about Cardi B using “ch*nky” to describe her kids’ eye shapes, and I was told that it was…
I’ve said it before here, and I’ll say it again. This is a hugely historic choice, and the VP pick being a black-asian woman is a big deal. VP is not Secretary of State (sorry HRC). The US has a looooong history of VPs become Ps. Fourteen (14!), many of whom D’s really like. Biden (likely, jinx), Bush I, Ford, Nixon…
She (Ashley Reese) was challenged on this by a reader and her response was to essentially say that Jezebel isn’t a legitimate publication and that they can’t be sexist because some of their best friends are women.
It was The Bachelor: VP Edition, a wry acknowledgment that the sideshow flattened women who are powerful in their own right
It’s hard to talk about what’s happening in Dallas with addressing the explosion of Frisco & Plano. They are essentially becoming their own little mini urban centers, with massive subdivisions splaying out to the side of the DNT corridor area. towns like Prosper, Celina and other communities are essentially becoming…
This needs more attention. The dumb-fucks in Georgia chose a racist, whack-job Q Anon supporter as their representative.
Oh I see you’re familiar with the writers and publishers of Jacobin and Current Affairs
I don’t understand why “don’t try to fuck the kids you’re mentoring” is such a difficult concept. It’s gross.
... to say nothing of the vibrant communal bath culture ...
As a person with a disability, he may want to reconsider his whole stance on wanting to be more like ancient Greeks and/or Romans.
