My first thought was Stone. Or, to a lesser degree, George Clooney.

Care.com is a nightmare to navigate. I own cats but I’ve also been cat-sitting for my mentors for over 10 years and recently started bird-sitting for my other mentor. She was like bird-sitters are hard to find you can probably market those skills. So I went on there like “Yes, I got a 15 year old conure to love me!”

Nanny here who uses urbansitter and sittercity to get 99% of my jobs. Have gotten long term jobs and one night gigs. I understand using it to find a permanent sitter, but some of these families post for new sitters for date nights multiple timed a week! They have multiple people coming into their home, watching their…

This isn’t surprising, but it is still upsetting nonetheless.

This is interesting. We used Sittercity to find our part time nanny. I don’t know how I would have done it otherwise. I’m new to the area and don’t have friends with kids. Plus a part time nanny with really flexible hours is hard to find. I understand the limitations for the workers (lack of internet access, etc) but…

I believe that was the original commenter’s point: that they still don’t feel safe enough to name names unless there is more than one person willing to join with them and say “me too”.

This is why Lean In bugged me. It was a guide to begging, negotiating, and cajoling men into being decent human beings. Don’t forget to smile the whole time you’re asking for equal pay or a clean load of laundry!

“When you’re young, you don’t question. When you’re young, you’re like, ‘I gotta be tough. I gotta be, like, down to really perform, and if that means they need me to go this extra mile [I will]…’ People take advantage of that. People have always taken advantage of that.”

Gareth Southgate got better with age.

Here is my favorite one from the World Cup because of the story behind it. England manager Gareth Southgate consoling Colombia’s Mateus Uribe moments after Uribe’s crucial missed penalty in England’s shootout win over Colombia. It’s unique in that 22 years ago, Southgate missed a shootout kick against Germany that led…

Croatia is one of the most right wing counties in Europe. The brutal Nazi-collaborating Ustashe are still venerated as heroes there.

Nice, something you could put on your tombstone.

The pizza dominoes quickly started to fall:

The thing is, you can’t be 100% sure other billionaires are doing nothing because they are not necessarily publishing their deeds on social media. Most philanthropic efforts are done behind the scenes.

“Either you die a hero, or you live long enough to see yourself become the villain.”

Seven decades in.....and I still don’t think I’ve reached middle age. No menstruation (to me, that’s the best perk), no kids wanting 3 meals every day (they’re the only things in this world that I truly love, but man they’re exhausting to raise), no job I have to report to, naps whenever I feel like it, no jerks…

Nope, that sounds fucking great, says this 43-year-old, childless divorcee who is living in sin with a man who is a whole 10 months younger.

I turn 37 in a few months, I guess I better start looking at walkers and walk-in bathtubs.

Jeez, leave the guy alone. You realize he is one bad relationship away from becoming a supervillain right? The man who is obsessed with doing great things will eventually decide that the best way to keep us safe will be to control everything.
