Just don't go after macaroons; they're the only thing that gets me through Passover. Do Jewish people count as white people?

I haven't said that because cab companies who classify their drivers as independent contractors are never liable for what their drivers do. My point is that cab companies assert nationally and consistently such defenses in civil cases, and it is then on the plaintiff to establish an employment relationship. The…

Thanks! It's an oil painting I made.

No, cab companies have consistently, and continue today to treat their employees as independent contractors for evading labor laws and financial responsibility for accidents that exceed the vehicle's auto insurance policy. The taxicab industry is also fraught with corruption, poor oversight in practice, and…

Wait, are you really claiming that a "licensed, regulated cab company will accept liability for things their drivers do"? You are seriously misguided. Cab companies have fought liability tooth and nail, and they continue to do so today. While any corporation would be crazy to just accept legal liability, taxi…

Oh, and the reason why I left my purse in that Chicago cab: I was distracted and rushing because the cab driver literally had the worst body odor I've ever encountered in my life. My eyes were literally stinging. This is not hyperbole. I don't mean figuratively. My husband later said something to the effect that my…

It looks as if cab companies in my current city are pulling the same tricks - corrupt, dangerous, poorly regulated in practice, vigilant in limiting their financial liability, and consistently asserting that their drivers are independent contractors:

You're right; I'm incorrect and was only remembering this week's and the one she did on slavery. I also vaguely recall one about how women aren't crazy; men only make them so. Ugh, fucking loved it. When the controversy around came out around the piece she did on slavery, I couldn't decide if I was happy that she was…

Oh my god, I just laughed out loud remembering that bit.

Sweet! That reminds me of Eddie Murphy's relationship with Rock: immediately spotting the talent, opening doors for them, putting them in their movies. Way to pay it forward, Chris Rock.

I think I lost track of him the the sea of indistinguishable white dudes. When I first watched the new cast, I couldn't tell them apart, and my memory would just replace their faces with white blobs. I'll have to keep my eye out for Davidson.

Ugh, Weekend Update used to be the only reliably funny part of the show. It SUCKS this year.

They both do these monologue standup bits where they present some social critique as a thesis underscored with absurd examples. They both have this amazing cadence to their delivery that sucks you in. Both seem to project this intentionally predatory affect - Rock with his angry, constant pacing on stage and Jones…

Looking at the cast, she's the one that I think could get really big. This is the first cast that I really feel "meh" about. I mean, everyone says the new cast sucks every year, then claims the group was a classic a decade later, but this is the first time it's really felt true to me. Kate McKinnon and Kenan Thompson…

I think this is her second installment of that weekend update role. Both were AMAZING. She has this great cadence to her delivery, and her points are so scathing in their social commentary. She reminds me of Chris Rock for some reason.

Is it just me, or does Leslie Jones steal the scene in every sketch?

Wow. Emily Gould comes off incredibly well in defending a pretty crappy former practice. She's composed, makes pretty strong arguments, and remains pleasant and likeable in the face of some pretty nasty, sanctimonious interrogation by Kimmel. He barely processes any of her responses. Kimmel comes off as an ass.

One more thing about the DC incident, which speaks to the problem of a victim's ability to identify the cab, attacker, or recall details of the event: I would never have been able to ID the cab if it wasn't for the concerned citizen across the street. Not only did I not know the ID number, I didn't know the name of…

I wish I could say I'm surprised. I'm so sorry for what you've been through.

It's fucked up that Eardely traded on the policy of sexual assault advocates to protect the victim's sense of safety and control when it revolves around Eardely's responsibility for doing actual reporting and fact-checking, but not when it didn't serve her piece. Forcing a reluctant victim to go public with her story…
