I do not believe this for a minute. Sorry, Vicky, but that’s not how surgery works. OR’s are scrubbed between surgeries and any and all equipment from a previous one would be long gone before the next one starts. Not possible.

If I had to come home to this sourpuss every day, I’d do more than coke.

Very true. Kim just seems very boring and straight-edge to me.

I do not blame her for using coke (I do not think she is) the country is a mess right now and she is married to Kanye.

Kim doesn’t even drink. I don’t think she’s snorting coke of a table in her home in the broad daylight.

The show used to be so fun and silly in the early days. They went on exotic trips, poked fun at each other, bought expensive stuff.

Kris’ name is Kristen! Why did this never occur to me??

Suggesting an alternative place to eat for somebody who isn’t comfortable isn’t weird. Assuming they aren’t comfortable because they aren’t as educated as you and telling that to the country is weird.

Also right up there with Peggy Noonan and her “friend” the deli clerk.

I like you guys

Newspapers let MBAs in. Like every other industry that has done so, they’re dying. I’m not saying newspapers should die. I’m saying that if they do die, they can’t blame anyone but themselves.

I see your MBA leadership has been installed.

It’s not too long, every word rings true. What finally drove me out the door was the realization that not only did upper management not appreciate us, they actually despised us.

I mean, stunningly short-sighted dopes. The sort of people who honestly believe they are the smartest people in the room, but their…

BBC, much like NPR, is actually good though.

This is horseshit. I work in local media, and I can tell you that in 100 percent of my experience, the reporters who bust their ass covering city halls and governors’ offices and crime and courts and fucking traffic aren’t pitching their stories with the intent to divide anybody, and certainly not as some grand…

(Hi, I work in media.) He’s not referring to them being free *now,* he’s referring to the fact that, in the early days of online publishing, most of them offered their content online for free. The result was that a generation of internet users were raised with the expectation that reading news online is free. So yes,…

Things I heard from upper management during my newspaper career:

It’s really fucking insane how much Trump’s propaganda arms are really embracing their role. I go to Breitbart every once in a while to peruse what’s important to them that day. They are still full-on obsessed with Megyn Kelly and belittle her every chance they get because of her spat with Trump. They follow her like…
