I’m sorry, maybe I missed something, are we being paid to pretend the first movie was good? I am 200% team Banks/Kendrick/Wilson and will probably watch this movie, but Pitch Perfect was not a quality movie. I literally watched it in 45 minutes fast-forwarding from music scene to music scene. I know these things are

I read Air Babylon - an expose of the airline industry - while flying from Dubai to Athens. Highly recommended. It will really make you wonder whether there are any dead bodies on your plane.

Ooh! I remember someone sending me this when it had first launched but I forgot it existed! Now I work in communications/marketing and while it’s depressing to be part of the stats of women who leave journalism, it really is a better environment for me. People in leadership positions of the same gender as me?!?

Yeah, I think because the USA is so loud, and recently the racist actions that have made the news have been so blatant that it’s easy to say “Look how fucked up the US is! We’re not that bad!” but if we dug into the attitudes and behaviour I bet we’d find everyone is more fucked up than we expect. I’m amazed

Yeah - as a new local government reporter I was introduced to one council as “Better looking than the last one”... I later told him “I wasn’t hired for my looks so don’t underestimate my brain.” but I wish I’d been able to say something in the actual moment.

Yeah, I was about to share a couple stories as examples to that but part way through I was like “You know, no one needs examples of shitty people when we all know shitty people are alive and well.” Also, maybe if you are racist and know you’re racist, don’t admit it!

I’d love to see some of these stats for other countries. Some would be much worse than the US, but I’d like to see if anyone is doing better, and if they are then what are they doing differently? I’m not living in Canada (which I do not think would do any better - no matter what my many liberal friends may think) and

Haha, I watch this probably every other week. I love it.

Haha, mine was "Basic" - again, not a good movie, but I had a bleeding nose in the middle and came back and my friend was like "That guy's not actually *name* - *name* was black" and the movie devolved from there...

See the first 10 minutes of the third movie. It's basically the ending of the second movie tacked on to the start of a three hour battle scene.

They are likely self taught - like me! I spent about a year when I was 15 avoiding photos, realized that was depressing because then there were no photos of me doing stuff, so decided to learn how to take a good picture. Slight head tilt, ideally be looking up at the camera a little, turn your body sideways if you

Haha, yeah, this is similar to my answer: "I like kids, but I also like my time and I like my money."

Pfff... I have lots of friends who are "onlys" and they are fine! Well, one of them is a bit spoiled but I think that's more to do with growing up in the 1% than being an only child - and she does have excellent social skills. Probably better than mine! You can socialize kids just as well by having them in

I only just found out that Seamless is for ordering food... maybe you should have said Just Eat, or called it Having Food Delivered for those of us who don't google things before we vote in arbitrary internet polls? Whatever. The fact that Attending Other People's Weddings is out and Memes is beating Twitter Fights

When I first moved to Canada and saw him on TV I said something like "Who is that and whose couch is he wearing?" and was almost mobbed... Apparently he is a national treasure. I also think his voice sounds like Homer Simpson.

Yes! Do this! I have dual citizenship (thanks parents!) and it is awesome.

I almost bought this the other day based entirely on the cover! Now I wish I had... maybe soon if I'm passing the book store again.

I am seriously considering getting part of this cover as a tattoo. (The penguin and one of the umbrella men.)

Or my grandfather's "I'm not racist. I worked with two Jamaicans and they were perfectly nice." This is a word for word quote. My Grandfather hadn't worked in at least 20 years.
