There’s nothing wrong with that. It’d be a problem if that divide wasn’t here. Activision advertises on Kotaku all the time, and that’ll never stop us from criticizing Destiny, because there’s a strong wall between editorial and advertisement. We should all thank goodness for that, because there aren’t a lot of…

Yeah, I unfortunately have zero control over any of that but the tension is not lost to me. (I acknowledge it in the piece after all.) I can’t control what advertisers or corporate does but I can write this article and call attention to the situation.

Solidarity for the effort.

We learned later it is not ideal to ask many detail questions, or to bring the subject back up ourselves. Also avoiding leading the child is of utmost importance.

I’m actually most worried about the kid in the future - “He was Jenny’s favorite person, period.” At some point she will learn that her “favorite person” took his own life as a result of something involving her, even though it’s clearly (to us) not her fault. That’s gonna be tough all around.

To the author: Sharing this story will save children from abusive situations and will stop abusers. I am so sorry for the pain you’ve experienced, thank you for pushing through that to help others. 

For what it’s worth - I think both my parents would give anything to go back in time and report the sexual abuse I suffered. I love my parents, but I will never forgive them.

I’m horrified, but thank you for publishing this. I don’t think too many people could’ve handled this better than the letter writer and his wife.

“Racist Cop Does Nothing to Protect Woman from Drunk Asshole because he Doesn’t View Her as a Person”

Desk Duty?  He was on “desk duty” when he was standing around letting that lady be harrassed and ignoring her pleas for help, until her brother showed up to check that drunk fool.  No, fuck Officer Desk Duty, he needs to be fired, posthaste. 

Are you a grown woman who still has issues past and present with a narcissist mother? If you are in any way you’ll apperciate “Sharp Objects.”

Check again, creator doesn’t use an HD texture pack (except for the letter from Peach shown off at the end of the video)

Little known fact: most big cities are way behind in their lab tests, do a sloppy jobs if the testing actually gets done and almost all of the big cities have been busted at one time or another in the last 20 years for falsified lab tests.

Cates hired defense attorney Jude Faccidomo who subpoenaed bodycam video that proved Cates didn’t consent to having his trunk searched by the officers. It also turns out that Cates had valid permits for all of the guns and police never submitted the alleged marijuana and codeine to labs for testing.

Micheal, keep speaking truth to power! Btw, why you working weekends? Surely you have some vacation to burn? They don’t give a brother a break around here? Lol.

“Fired by your father-in-law on your day off” has to be one of the largest fuckups your average white dude will ever pull off.

I think that getting your real name dug up is a natural consequence of saying a thing on camera in public, in front of witnesses, in your community or workplace in real life. You don’t have any reasonable expectation of privacy from your neighbors or coworkers knowing your identity.

Jezebel is not shutting down!! We are extremely depressed about our colleagues leaving and it’s been a shitty AF week and so we’re in mourning for a little bit. But perhaps unfortunately for you guys, you’re stuck with the rest of us til the wheels fall off. :) <3 Let’s all stay strong together. 

Honestly, I’m at the point where if I *did* happen to get robbed by a 6 foot 5 black guy, I still might hesitate because the cops would probably shoot some 12 year old kid.
