Unlike many White House employees, Press Secretary Sarah Sanders has somehow made it through another full year working for the Trump Administration. Congrats, I guess.

Christmas traditions are weird. We chop tall trees, rip them from the ground, and lug them into our homes to adorn them with shiny objects like we’re giant magpies. We stuff presents under said trees, claiming that they were placed there by a fat man in a red and white suit who rides a sleigh in the sky. But most of…

Travis Scott is Rolling Stone’s latest cover star, which is surprising only if you’re the kind of person who misses the “old days” of the magazine.

When you think of your needs, what’s high on your list? Food, water, and oxygen, I’m sure. Your friends and family, fine. Pets? Well, now that you’ve grown an attachment, I suppose so. Dark chocolate? Okay, make the argument for the intersection of indulgence and antioxidants creating necessity. You’re allowed.

The setting: an apartment in Washington, DC. The scenario: the delivery guy has arrived, takeout tacos in hand. The doorbell: he rings it. The dogs, unaccustomed to such average nonsense, lose their shit. They are Bo and Sunny Obama, and until January 2017, they have never heard a doorbell in their fucking lives. They…

The Kardashian-Jenners can no longer persuade their fanbase to shell out $2.99 a month per family member for exclusive content, so Kim, Khloe, and Kourtney Kardashian, as well as “self-made” billionaire Kylie Jenner, are shuttering their apps.

A tiny home in St. Louis, Missouri has been stolen and recovered thanks to the tiny homeowner’s social media campaign to track down the thieves—a happy ending for all, except the thieves. As someone who has never built a tiny home, I am not really in a place to weigh in on the structural integrity of small abodes and…

The Monterey Bay Aquarium garnered praise and achieved viral status after this tweet about Abby the otter quickly became a meme on Tuesday.

A preliminary report by Illinois Attorney General Lisa Madigan found that the Catholic Church failed to publicize the names of more than 500 priests who’d been accused of sexually abusing minors.

To All the Boys I’ve Loved Before, which Jezebel reviewed positively and was a huge hit for Netflix, is, unsurprisingly, getting a sequel.

Welcome to Midweek Madness, Jezebel’s weekly tabloid roundup that I’m gonna hijack for just a second to say bye! I’m leaving! I wasn’t really here that long, so I don’t know if a proper goodbye post is warranted, but I got a new job! I’ll still be a contributor here but just not nearly as regularly so I guess this is…
