I admit I was really happy when Billy Bush got fired and I still don’t like him and I’m not sure if this act is 100% sincere but you know? I kind of don’t mind at this point. I like that he’s talking about bystander abuse. I like that he’s acknowledging his role in what happened. I guess what I’m saying is that while…

I used to be a big Kathy fan but she’s making it really hard to be her fan lately.

My 4 year old starting asking for a youtube channel. He doesn’t have one but my 9 year old made one at summer camp when he was 8. One video is him sitting in front of a green screen for 8 minutes while he opens and closes his mouth and another boy from camp walks around behind him and then there’s 3 minutes of the…

But will wikipedia make the facts pop up on my screen with delightful little “bloop” popping sounds?

Exactly. They also expect me to film them and put it on YouTube. So they can become famous like this kid.

My kids love “challenges” like “Hey, can we do the pringles challenge?” which is when I apparently buy every flavor of Pringles and then blindfold them and make them eat them and test them on how many flavors they get right. Or the Oreos challenge. Or the Ben & Jerry’s challenge. These are all on YouTube. I am being a…

In all of the reboots happening, can we PLEASE bring back Pop-up Video.

You’re right. “Attack” is too strong of a word that denotes a level of violence that is not present in a Twitter attack. Criticism is probably the more appropriate description.

I agree with you that many of the women wearing black tonight were previously or currently complicit. And that wearing a really fancy gorgeous black gown is a pretty empty gesture in the grand scheme of things.

It’s not MY experience. Numerous sociological studies and people who study gender in the office have published research on this. I took an entire class in my masters program on gender differences in management and pay bias was a huge part of that. I have provided a link to published report on this. It’s not just like…

I do this in the summer and it’s actually really good. Oats, greek yogurt, milk, frozen fruit and a little bit of honey or maple syrup and then the next morning stir it up and it’s a nice cool sweet breakfast.

That one is very pretty! But yes, I have often thought that if I get married again, I’ll just do a plain band - to be honest, probably one of those silicone ones.

I like that. It could be the Paris Hilton Engagement Ring Subdivision. All the houses are pink, everyone gets a chihuahua.

Yes. It just looks fake and weird. I feel like there has to be a better way to show the world that you’re really really rich. Like maybe get a ring that actually spells out “I’m RICH!” in diamonds?

I was already in a sad mood today so I’m going to just close my office door and cry for a bit because love is terrible.

Paris Hilton’s ring is so huge that it’s ugly. It’s not even a creative design or a pretty shape or anything. It looks like something you’d win at a carnival and it’s ugly.

Hell, I’d say “go getter” in my opinion. Her show is terrible but good on her for going for it.

I don’t know. The PR jobs have all been non-profits. One of the newsrooms was owned by Time Warner/AOL (when they were together) and they were one of the worst offenders. But I did work briefly at a DuPont owned company and they seemed fair in pay and title although how people treated you in the day-to-day sucked but…

Very interesting! I started out in journalism and now do public relations and there are no set salaries. Male journalists always made more money and in 2000 a friend who was up for a promotion was actually told she did not get it because the guy who was applying “had a family he had to provide for so he needed the…

I’m not saying that they ARE a bitch. I don’t think someone who negotiates is being a bitch, I am saying that they are perceived as being that when they push for what they deserve. This article does a better job of saying what I’m trying to say: Women do tend to negotiate less than men do, and some researchers suggest…
