Seriously.  Take this over to the lady who runs the local youth hockey organization and she will have it sorted out before lunch.

but how will the consultants justify their insanely bloated contracts if they don’t deliver efficiencies or harness technologies or produce customized algorithms??

Allegedly the error was caused by a faulty algorithm, however the protestors claim that Stanford became aware of the error on Tuesday and did nothing to course correct.

Doesn’t being an essential worker mean you can’t work from home? No shade on your job, I don’t think you count as an essential worker.

He knew this would never happen, which is why he did it. He only wants adoration from his cult over how much he’s “trying” to help them, even though he has absolutely no say in how much the checks are for.

This isn’t an honest proposal, though. Trump is saying this knowing full well his own damn party that he’s the head of won’t do it. He can say, “I wanted to give you more, but the evil government stopped me!” Should we be giving more relief to people? Hell, yes. But let’s not pretend that this isn’t anything more than…

You are so right; I was thinking Meth paranoia, but pills and smack makes much more sense considering where she lives.

And the kids who are victimized for sex abuse videos are overwhelmingly victimized by family members, not strangers.

No way. Suburban mommy blogger, it’s definitely opioids. The question is whether she’s still popping Percocet, or if she’s transitioned to heroin.

I felt uncomfortable around them, and instead of making them uncomfortable with my discomfort, I chose to remain in my discomfort.

So many thoughts:

Trafficking of the true “stranger abducts (almost always white) kids to sell them into sex slavery” essentially NEVER happens, every single number about human trafficking that gets bandied about by the media and “nonprofits” is wildly over-inflated and based on garbage data, yet because there’s no political points to…

This is what we’ve been missing by elevating mediocre white male “creatives” in Hollywood all these years: someone who can stand with victims first while having the mental bandwidth to empathize and reflect on working with people who are harmful but also suffering themselves.

Yeah I hate it more than “The Christmas Shoes”, mostly because they play “Do They Know It’s Christmas” way more around me and especially way more commercially so I can’t escape it. It’s the most insulting charity song. They just had to write a song about why you should help feed hungry people and they wrote one about…

Also the areas that aren’t Christian (and most of Africa observes some form of Christianity) are Muslim (or a little bit Jewish). And the non-Christians aren’t any worse off for not knowing that it’s Christmas, because they don’t care about Christmas nor should they have to. 

I am shocked that “the only gift they’ll get this year is life” is an a line in an actual song about Africa that is still played on the radio! Makes me cringe every time. It is problematic, to say the least. 

And the fact that that area of Africa was Eastern Orthodox so, yeah, I’m pretty sure they knew it was Christmas.

Yeah it didn’t offend me the way it apparently did a lot of people- I thought it was stupid, but no stupider (and possibly less offensive) than shit like “We are the World” or even worse “Do they Know It’s Christmastime” which somehow makes the fact that they don’t have snow in most of Africa seem just as bad as the…

It’s funny in hindsight how much blowback the “Imagine” thing got. It was out of touch and annoying, but also featured well-meaning celebrities staying home like we were all supposed to. So many of the other things in this article that blew over faster were actively harmful.
