Writes Anna Merlan, on X.
The New Yorker just published a big article about Jezebel:
I only skimmed it.
I guess I'm afraid of finding something about me.
९ नोव्हेंबर, २०२३
"Today is yet another really rough day in media; dozens of my Vice colleagues are being laid off globally and we just got news..."
"... that Jezebel, where I worked for years, is being shut down.

Oh no!....anyway.
It's the end of the world as they know it, and I feel fine.
Feminists have angles. Women have curves.
Oh, anger. #HateLovesAbortion
I clicked through to read the first bit of the 2009 Jezebel article. I hadn't realized that Althouse deigned to marry Meade. I had assumed her motivations to marry were ineffable.
Learn. To. Coal.
Ding dong, the witch is dead!
Always hated that publication. As if there's some kind of virtue in unreasoned anger, as long as you say you feel it because of Oppression.
Gosh
The verdict is in... AI can do feminism... better than feminists.
The horror.
The very next day after the actors settled their strike against Hollywood.
It took Hollywood months to promise not to use AI, the way actors fear they could.
Don't want to read about Althouse's or Meade's positions!
Yeah, you can always learn to say "would you like friends with that?"
JK Brown +1. Lots of people losing jobs in this economy that media tends to downplay because it would look bad for Biden. Much of this particular media cheered those losses.
I guess women's anger has gone out of style. It won't be missed.
Jezebel is a derogatory term, so maybe things are for the best.
So according to Jezebel, having a blog and moderating it puts you in a powerful position of dominance. It seems to me that moderating a blog is actually a lot of work.
As far as I can tell, you only disallow comments that are inappropriate. In many situations, you will comment on another comment that you feel needs clarification or is wrongheaded, but you don't attempt to dominate the conversations.
Also, a lot of these internet media companies didn't realize that you can't run a major online publishing company if you only have limited page views. If your audience isn't that big, your operation can't be that big.
I suspect that The 8 Bit Guy had more YouTube viewers than they had readers. And he's one guy creating video content from his cheap, little home studio.
Jezebel is the biggest trash site on the internet.
They were a Gawker property back in the day, but Peter Thiel mercifully bankrupted them over the Hulk Hogan incident...
How bad does an online business have to be to go under these days? I guess we know…
When you pick a Biblical name for your organization, you're inviting people to look for relevant quotations. How did the Biblical Jezebel die?
Here's the King James Version of II Kings 9, 30-37 - I really like the last three verses:
"30 And when Jehu was come to Jezreel, Jezebel heard of it; and she painted her face, and tired her head, and looked out at a window.
31 And as Jehu entered in at the gate, she said, Had Zimri peace, who slew his master?
32 And he lifted up his face to the window, and said, Who is on my side? who? And there looked out to him two or three eunuchs.
33 And he said, Throw her down. So they threw her down: and some of her blood was sprinkled on the wall, and on the horses: and he trode her under foot.
34 And when he was come in, he did eat and drink, and said, Go, see now this cursed woman, and bury her: for she is a king's daughter.
35 And they went to bury her: but they found no more of her than the skull, and the feet, and the palms of her hands.
36 Wherefore they came again, and told him. And he said, This is the word of the LORD, which he spake by his servant Elijah the Tishbite, saying, In the portion of Jezreel shall dogs eat the flesh of Jezebel:
37 And the carcase of Jezebel shall be as dung upon the face of the field in the portion of Jezreel; so that they shall not say, This is Jezebel."
Seems quite appropriate for the publication calling itself Jezebel.
How can you go out of business if you're providing such a valuable service?
Jezebel is of course a rather famous murderer of Jews. The plot thickens.

I remember their measured response, they had to palin's selection, a 12 alarm freakout
Vice was parodied quite well in a Documentary Now! episode with Bill Hader and a few other clowns.
Downward facing blogger?
Wow! What platform will Jessica Valenti spew her vile misandry from now?!?!
For years, I've accused Althouse of the same anger baiting click mining strategy that Ben Smith accused Jezebel. Those junkets to Austin Tejas don't float on water.🤪
The truth is that everyone does it weather by algorithms or human design, outrage anger and retribution are the mothers milk of social media.
Wait, Jezebel once wrote something sensible?
So according to Jezebel, having a blog and moderating it puts you in a powerful position of dominance.
Reading is hard.
There's still Salon if you're looking for angry sex toy reviews.
I wonder if they ever considered that the original Jezebel was a rotten role model who came to a bad end.
William Shawn, Dorothy Parker, and Harold Ross would rise from their graves to line-edit this "Jezebel Editor's" article. "Awoken"? Twice? In the New Yorker?
It reads like a litterbox.

The reviewer is angry?
The toy?
Looks the Jezebel employees need to learn to code.
“As of this week we are making the very, very difficult decision to suspend publication of Jezebel,” G/O Media CEO Jim Spanfeller wrote Thursday
Does no one see the ultimate irony in this? The best woman for the job is a man.
Sounds like they need to learn how to code.
Althouse didn't want take closer look this time...
Wow, I somehow missed all the outrage when you became engaged to your "finance." I was under the impression people were happy for you, as was I.
