I’ve got to be honest, while you’re among my very favorite sites and you get me through every work day, I was hoping you’d go dark today.

It’s important to remember that the women who strike today are women of privilege. The loss of women’s work that would be felt most keenly is done by women who can’t afford to strike.

I think you nailed it - I don’t disagree with anything ZemarSea-Urchin has stated, but again, it begs the question - why is it here on Jezebel? Which I think where thebloodfiend was going with it. It’s not like it was presented as ZemarSea broke it down for us - it was presented as gossipy trash.

This website has gone through a lot of changes over time - the kinja roll out was painful and the editor roll over (AJ was...not the best fit for Gawker) it’s all par for the course. At least they still cover some good stuff even if you have dig to find it.

I want you as my official ‘splainer from now on.

Except... they’re not. Socialist ideals, taken outside the context of socialism, are actually incredibly popular.

Also, why not just become Socialists, gang? Like, the GOP is actively courting literal Nazis; the taboo is broken in the younger generation. Democrats and the Democratic party (necessary to make the distinction) need to get hip to Marx or they will die, and they will deserve it.

“While I’m gone, I’ll be reachable by email but not phone.”

He couldn’t if he wanted to. The two PwC accountants maintain custody of the envelopes.

Counterpoint: It was one moment of indiscretion ten years ago, she told him the truth, and he chose to stay with her. He should get over it and move on and stop being childish and punishing her annually for a mistake that she clearly deeply regrets.

you start so terribly wrong yet your conclusion is absolutely brilliant

the idea of an individual negotiating effectively on their behalf, in a job where there is little leverage (lets say working at a super market, or a manual laborer at a construction site) is non existent. You could say “Well then become more valuable so you have some leverage” but the issue is we have people doing…

Forgive my total ignorance here, and sorry if this is an incredibly dumb question, but what’s stopping a union from negotiating a contract for just its members. Like, using the example above, can the union just negotiate a contract for the 250 members who pay dues and not for the other 250 members?

Again, sorry if this…

I have some real problems with this. I’m biracial (black mom, white dad) but I often pass for white, even though it is never my intention to do so. I also identify as black - would you demand a DNA test from me? Or would you only require that I present you a picture of mom for you to give me the time of day?

The drawer under mine is either a broiler or has a broiler pan “permanently” attached to it from being in the house since last century. I’d try to remove it, but I have the delicate hands of a programmer.

And? All of them constitutionally protected. Thanks for the math lesson..?

1. Yes

All my coasters end up being boring, terrifying, vomit fountains no matter what I do.

I wouldn’t call it a fatal flaw so much as a RPG completionists nightmare. You can progress through the game just fine and absorb most if not all of the main story.
