The book is about NBC killing the story and Farrow trying to get it published.

Debt forgiveness is a start, but doing so won’t help the issue of tuition inflation, which is one of the root causes of massive student loan debt burdens.

It’s akin to saying, assuming you’re American, ‘How can I remember something that happened in 2001?”

My mom is around Hillary’s age, and she has lots of questions around stuff like gender identity and pronouns. She has a really hard time with “they/them/theirs” pronouns, for example, but if I yell at her and shout her down, she would just get defensive and she’d never learn. So I try to talk to her using specific…

Bingo.  Its an odd tendency for many to try to box out allies on these issues and more.

I agree. I think it's a lot better to say "I'm still learning" than to just spout off at the mouth.

I don’t see what the issue is here. This is a new subject for many people, something they’ve never been exposed to before or thought much about. And frankly, it is an uncomfortable topic for many, especially older folks. I say it’s a good thing for those who are confused or don’t feel fully confident in their ideas…

I’m no expert, but I think it may have more to do with the fact that she doesn’t pay her rent than anything else.

JUST TO SAY IT - This woman used to have an Etsy shop that sold home decor, she was copying designs/names from other artists AND never shipped out lots of the stuff (I bought several pieces that never arrived). She kept saying she promised she was working on it and was so sorry and she was just overwhelmed but to my…

Does Sesame Street have the same reach and power now that it’s on HBO as it did when it was way more widely-accessible on PBS? It seems like the audience that could most benefit from Sesame Street probably doesn’t have an HBO subscription.

Yeah SoulCycle’s brand was actually legitimately damaged and their market share seems to have permanently dropped. Obviously the company is still active, and Stephen Ross barely noticed the difference in terms of his wealth, but the boycott was successful. (Given the difficulty of any boycott under late-stage…

I wish I could give you all the stars. People have this weird impulse to denigrate and belittle protest and activist efforts. I remember when people were doing the check in to Standing Rock and several people on my social media feeds were saying things like, “No one is actually doing anything! Who do you think you…

This is a good candidate for the best piece I’ve read on Jezebel at all

Please seek help and take care of yourself, no one deserves to feel this way.

Two more parents have been sentenced for doing basically what she did, pay a fuck ton of money to act like their kids were athletes to get into college. They both got 4 months. Becky’s gonna definitely get at least 4 months. 

Im glad this was posted to deadspin. As an older white male, it may seem like I am unable to relate. However, having recently changed jobs, I struggle currently with depression, questioning my value, my worth...I now become paralyzed at the slightest stressful decision, and I’m not sure that I’ll last.

This is the best piece you’ve ever written on Jezebel, and I’m so sorry for your loss.

According to Splinter, the boycott was actually effective.

She’s come pretty far for a skinny white mzungu with angel hair.

Bacteria self replicate, getting a lower level is still better than none.
