So right around the time I turned 20 I started to realize I was pretty sensitive to sugar and I was drinking a few sodas a day. I was 19 so you know whatever. Anyway I decided to “quit sugar” pretty much cold turkey a few weeks before my birthday. Man like Day 2 I hit a WALL and my brain just shut down and I had no…

Trying to justify it by saying these are “industry-standard established ranges based on experience” is especially fucked-up, given the strength of their resumes. He had one movie screenwriting credit and one “story by” credit prior to Crazy Rich Asians. She’d been writing for television for two decades. It’s a flimsy…

I’m a huge grammar nerd but this is unnecessary. In this case it’s more important to listen to what he has in his heart than to make classist comments about how he got his message across. It’s a screenshot of the Notes app, posted to Instagram. He’s not submitting a statement to Congress.

After 18 years (with the last six showing major symptoms), I was finally diagnosed with cibiphobia: the fear of food. (Here is a really good Healthline description of the disorder.) It’s kinda like a combination of orthorexia and contamination OCD.

See I still don’t care for the Biebs, his aesthetic and whatnot, but that doesn’t really matter. This is extremely respectable and very, very sharp of him. Kudos to his mental health team.

Yeah, it’s like the least-weird thing Travolta has said in a very long time.

I work in corporate HR. Your bullet points would only apply if they were full-time employees. There are several other employee classifications that could apply to drivers like part-time or on-call.

When I am hiring independent contractors, one thing stands out: Independent contractors can set their own price, and they aren’t required to bid on every job we open.

Bigotry against gay people would be wrong even if sexual orientations were freely chosen.

I have that app* and use it occasionally when, like she references, the sky is over exposed or something. What’s funny is: even using the same cloud selection as she did here . . . there are a pile of settings you can play with that would change even that cloud type up. You can shift them over or up and down, change…

Hi, Jewish guy here: Roman Polanski is a piece of shit. The fact he suffered as a result of the Holocaust does not change the fact he is a piece of shit. The fact that his wife was murdered does not change the fact he was a piece of shit. Karina Longworth’s podcast “You Must Remember This”  about the Manson Family…

While it is maddening that some people think that it’s okay to use phones at a comedy show UNLESS THERE ARE SIGNS TELLING THEM NOT TO, I can’t help but feel that Pete Davidson is the wrong voice to lead this righteous movement.

Alamo Drafthouses do a pretty good job with that.

I think I would have titled this “Asshole has point about cellphones, is still an asshole”

concerns about the potentially lost art of pitch framing

I ended a months-long relationship a few years ago with a guy who often “forgot to eat” because it just “wasn’t a thing for him”. Whereas I get totally psyched for food. Not being able to share a nice meal and enjoy it the same way....nah.

THERE IS ONLY ONE CRUEL SUMMER AND IT IS BY BANANARAMA! I will fight for this !

Right now, Uncover’s “Escaping NXIVM” podcast seems to be the number one resource for understanding what it was. Definitely worth a listen.

Re: Carole, I can’t unsee that last season. I liked her up to that point, but she really took a turn for me.

Moment of silence for Mandy Moore’s music career that never was because of that scumbag Ryan Adams.
