These women are celebrated just for their looks, so they don’t develop a deeper understanding of life, and have a generally easier time of it. They don’t even recognize when they are being mistreated and reduced to just their bodies. And the men who encourage them to vote against themselves are mostly misogynists to…

A couple of times in my spotty career history, an employer burned a bridge with me, so I cc’ed the entire company to state my case and warn them. One time, it had to do with an incompetent CEO who barely slipped out of a potentially serious harassment lawsuit, and in the other, I outed an exec for his derogatory…

Richard Linklater eat your heart out. Or maybe this was what inspired him?

Krapaoke.

Testify. I do wish Amazon would pay attention to how Virgin, Costco, Nordstrom, Trader Joe’s, Alaska Airlines and other like-minded companies attempt to treat their employees - paying them decently, fairly, and with some respect. This engenders goodwill throughout and beyond the company and ensures a much better and…

If you’re wondering why Madonna is going off the rails, Rosie ODonnell claims she’s not eaten any cake in her entire adult life.

When I saw Guns n’Roses at Giants stadium in the 80's, Axl was hours late. By the time they came on, the stadium was quite restless, but still pumped, since GnR were in their prime. However, the first thing he shrieked at the audience was, “Fuck you, motherfuckers!!!”

We need to bring up our boys/men differently. Case in point - my ex claimed he didn’t know how to:

It’s a matter of intention. When people do what they can to help others out of a sense of empathy and goodwill, that’s very different than those who do it to gain points or benefit for themselves, whether compelled by others or not.

My poor mom used to drag me to those sections in the department store to find clothes she could fit into. Ugly brown polyester pants, cheapo tops with terrible prints. My cousins made fun of her “queen-sized” pantyhose - I think one brand was called Big Mama:

Avoid reading comments on HuffPo.

People have been braiding their hair all over the map since forever. All history is cultural appropriation - re: traditions, religion, food, clothing, dance, art, etc.

Kumail Nanjiani is Pakistani.

I don’t think anyone intentionally wants to harm their own child, but if the established medical industry has harmed someone you know, perhaps you become skeptical. Think of all the drug recalls and listen to the drug ads where “death” is a “possible side effect”. Doctors are human, and make mistakes all the time,…

Imagine: she calls a gun a toy, and her child uses it like one. Arrogance.

Burritos Never Done Me Wrong - best/worst Dead song ever.

It’s not natural how our society works regarding having kids. The community/family/extended family situation is so different. Few of us have the resources to not work, and even fewer have enough support in general. Don’t be so hard on yourself. This is a very difficult, challenging time. Especially since the rules,…

Well, while it does seem clear that Cosby committed those crimes, he has not been prosecuted yet. Maybe it would be better to make decisions like pulling a show off the air after that fact? Polanski has been a controversial figure for ages, but his crime occurred prior to the onslaught of social media, which may…

I vote “Mops”.

Periods begin around age 12 and end around age 50.
