Hi! I recognize you from non-infuriating comments! There are absolutely good commenters on Kotaku; in terms of Jez crossover I see Kyosuke's comments over there a lot too.

I saw some sexist apologism in the Stirling Moss flap awhile ago, but I confess I don't dig too terribly deep into a lot of the comments.

Oh my goodness. The difference in commentariats between Deadspin and Kotaku has long since done away with any lingering high school prejudices about "mean jocks" and "friendly nerds." Deadspin is funny, friendly oneupsmanship — Kotaku is nuclear grade butthurt and COMPLETE privilege-blindness.

I agree. There's something kind of off-putting when you're on the other side of a relationship with someone who is so goal-oriented about their human relationships. It's difficult for me not to react differently in a situation where I feel like I'm being appraised (which is frankly a given if you're meeting anyone in…

All I know is you don't see Duff Goldman making slanderous, nasty statements anywhere.

Absolutely. This was just beautiful.

This quote always gets me.

I've seen this type of thing too (a lot of post-Newtown "when white kids dies it's a tragedy, when black kids die it's a statistic" type of stuff came up my feed) and I really think it's best not to engage them at all. People are very much still processing and going through emotional catharsis right now — some of…

Perfect GIF. I even eat the soggy junk at the bottom of the bowl (waste not, want not) but you want to do this to yourself on purpose? Gurl. Just drink some kefir or something.

This is really interesting in contrast to the other common caregiving profession in the U.S., namely home health aides for seniors. I've left the field, but I worked many years with many, many lovely (and less-than-lovely) HHAs, CNAs, LPNs and RNs all involved in the administration of senior care. Almost every…

Now I don't wanna ectoplasm-shame anybody, but...

Really, I can't think of a currently-existing hologram I'd prefer more in my holographic Kama Sutra...

Thank you for these posts! Your writing is so lucid and accessible, it makes for very engaging reading.

Life must be a constant minefield for parents like that, never knowing when a princess video or realistic baby doll or easy-bake oven is going to spring an ambush and 'mo your kid over.

Can't hide from monsters under covers — snakes at foot of bed will get me!

Well stated, it's like a songified version of white men going "Well, nobody alive today in the South even owns slaves so you can't keep holding that against us forever!" Well, uhm, yes. We aren't holding anything against you per se... until you act so purposefully obtuse that you start telling POC to "just get over…

I feel you, dear. They always find a somewhat-okay pic of him for the headline mast, but Google Image Search and it's fields of ugg as far as the eyes can see.

I found out about him through his work with Miranda July — I think his perspective on gender is not nearly as limited as this joke suggests.

Kinja magic ;)

Yep, that should be replaced by the actual image on your Private View in 5-10 minutes — but on the site for everyone else the image is showing from the time the post publishes.
