My husband is Australian. So while I can’t speak about Australia as a real Australian, I have been an insider/ outsider for 10 years. Australia has lots to teach the US about sensible healthcare (a tiered system! imagine! lower income people have full government coverage, while higher income people are required to buy

I’m wondering if anyone broke it to Alex that the famously jacked kangaroo in that header image died late last year. I think the flags are still at half-staff.

I hope this doesn’t mean that Jezebel will be having a .com.au mirror site like LifeHacker, Gizmodo & Kotaku do. I refuse to click links to these sites anymore as the .com.au versions have their own local comment sections that zero people use. The only reason to read the articles are the comments...

Not since I was 3 days old.

Anyone else uncomfortable with the name Forskolin?

I’m sure I’m not the first person to point out that Kris’ boyfriend looks like an older, pudgier, poorer Kanye.

You could use to raise your standards for “the quality of a man.”

Honestly this comment— and particularly your comments about what is or isn’t “insecurity,” just make me sad. Women get fed such bullshit about what they should be okay with— and what it says about them if they enforce some fucking boundaries.

You are

my partner who says all of my sisters are fuckable.

You really think Kris thinks she was left out?

You would be fine with your partner blasting to the whole world that he wants to fuck your sisters?

I’m not sure what the fuss is. Age of consent is 16 in most places... California seems a bit puritanical here.

So this won’t be popular but screw it. It was wrong for him to date girls under 18. He should have been punished for it, and it’s a shame he wasn’t. However, this just doesn’t have the same creepy vibe that Michael Jackson or Jimmy Saville had.

Stumbled upon this show last year on my honeymoon. It’s something else, but the pun in the name is less charming without the Geordie accent. There’s always a weird dynamic between the friends, where one tries to “teach the other a lesson” by tattooing a warning onto their bodies to make them think twice before

basically the premise is to intentionally disfigure and then mock another person.

I would say it’s generous to get a refund if you buy a ticket to an event you knew you were not allowed into, and expected to not be allowed into.

His name isn’t really Stan, and he didn’t really drive off a bridge.

a thing? they’ve been together for 16 and have led a quiet, private life. Maybe more celebs should take note.

“Sir, what makes you qualified for this position?”

How many of us have had this happen, the no is accepted but they keep trying. Ten mins later, twenty...basically if you stay and continue to chat or laugh or lay next to them or even kiss, they’ll try again.

I think all of this has made it clear that lessons about consent are not being taught or just not sinking in. Men think rapists wear all black and carry knives and grab you and pull you into dark alleys or break into your house. They don’t think about alcohol or their own physical intimidation or anything.
