Seems like the perfect time for our acappella group The Jizzebelles to reunite. Read more

Federal scientist here. The raw data we collect has to go through a time-consuming check/approval process before it’s fit for public consumption because people rely on that data for recreation/agriculture/infrastructure/construction. Our data is also collected and transmitted via telemetry, which like NASA’s, isn’t Read more

Good gravy, Martha. My boyfriend and I were like “This whole operation seems like a very bad idea” early on, and what do you know! I guess they got some good intel for a bit but like... that whole thing lasted way longer than it should have; also, I loved how Martha’s dad was like “There’s no way she would’ve been Read more

He leaves when she’s a million months pregnant and the JENNINGS(ES?) are the bad guys. Read more

Ellie is this your gentle way of telling me to stop sitting at my desk in the nude with a beach towel padding my chair or what Read more

Damn. You’ve got the insufferable teenage male narrative voice down. You could have told me this was a chapter from a John Green novel and I wouldn’t have blinked. Read more

I wanted Paige to win, and I wanted Wanya to be in the finals instead of Ginger. So I’m glad that Ginger placed third. I’m okay with Nyle winning. He was ultimately more of a “story” than Paige or Ginger, and that gets you votes. I’m still wildly impressed with what he was able to do given he’s deaf, too. Read more

It was awful. Paige was so good and Nyle was so average. I really hate when people vote for the manufactured tears. I really dislike Peta in general, she has issues and is a body shamer. And the win looks even worse now that people are staring to notice that the fusion dance Nyle and Peta did last night was almost an Read more

UGH. Pranks that are either physically or emotionally hurtful are NEVER FUNNY. What the fuck is wrong with these people. Read more

I’m mildly interested, which cancels out your petulant disinterest, so we’re right back at square one. Better question, why would you click on this if you weren’t interested? Every day on Gawker I scroll past articles I don’t find interesting, and rather than demand they cease to exist I just, y’know, don’t click them. Read more

Unless you have started your own business you will never know the hard work, sacrifice, decision making and detication that it requires. Erin built something amazing from the ground up at young age and no one should discredit that. No one. Read more

I know! Why is this the focus point for everyone's millennial rage? It would be weirder if Jezebel didn't cover it in some way, because like you said, it's being covered in a lot of places. Read more

Right? I’ve never heard of Shop Jeen but I’ve become somewhat invested in the goings on and now know never to shop there if they manage to get their shit together. *hides cornflakes* Read more

Yeah, I don’t understand how or why this schaudenfreudelicious story became the locus for such aggressive reckoning with mortality and I-don’t-care-and-yet-here-I-am-caring-enough-to-tell-you-about-that-itis. It’s being covered on Racked, R29 and Fashionista, too. It isn’t Joanna’s Secret Obsession. Read more

The irony of a full statement released on a media platform known for “temporary messages,” therefore making it very hard to fully scrutinize their statement - it’s kinda genius, in a horrible, horrible corporate way Read more
