They've made it all the way to ageism and body-shaming.

He's heard of it. He just thinks it's ruining America.

From the Cambridge dictionary: racism: the belief that people's qualities are influenced by their race and that the members of other races are not as good as the members of your own, or the resulting unfair treatment of members of other races (example: being treated as if you are homeless because you're a black man…

To be fair, criminal law is WAY more interesting than the other stuff. At least, I've found. I think producers/ studio/ industry types would be awful, but actors and directors are probably more interesting. Unless they're full of themselves.

Exactly. When she goes to the Golden Globes with her husband, by all means ask about the dress. It would be weird if ET asked her about human rights violations on the red carpet. It's just as offside for reporters to ask about her clothes outside the courtroom.

Please explain.

So to be clear, Huckabee is advocating for businesses to be able to refuse to serve people who drink, swear or listen to classical music?

1D is a really cool band.

The waitress assumed he was homeless because she saw a black man talking to a group of white people. That is the racism. Then she was shitty because of the assumption she made about him, and because it's socially acceptable to treat the homeless in a way we wouldn't treat more affluent people.

Of course there's a perfectly good explanation. Two of them in fact: we make assumptions based on people's race and we also treat the homeless with less compassion or humanity than stray animals.

It's about both. It's about race to assume Bell is homeless. But the way we treat homeless people as if they are either invisible or stray animals to be shooed, is about poverty and class. What Bell experienced was those two lovely societal attitudes intersecting.

Been in a FT twosome for a while so no advice other than, if it ain't broke...

I don't have any advice, but where has this shark been all my life? I'm dying. His fins grow back, right?

Sounds a bit like advertising, where you can work on the agency or client side of the business.

Also prefer #1. Totally agree with Lisasaur- it's elegant. I also think I prefer the sleeve things, but I just don't like going sleeveless to receptions because I worry about wardrobe malfunctions during the dancing. Sleeves just feel more secure.

This reminds of when the math dept at my university sent out a questionnaire to students to find out why few of the talented female math students chose a major in math, and none of them wanted to go on to grad school. (There were no women on faculty, & the student body was full of the worst kind of gate-keeping…

I love Charlaine Harris for light reading, especially her Lily Bard and Grave series.

I couldn't get through it either.

#1 might be high. And also maybe a serial killer. Or the lead in an Almodovar film. But at least he's "faithful." I think his sign off was my favourite part.
