I believe in my state they're allowed to ask prior employers if you're eligible for reemployment there but that's it.

“We taught it to lie and now it lies. Nobel prizes all around!”

It’s been said that promoters would advertise a Jones concert without even asking his management, then put up a bare minimum stage and a fully stocked bar. People would come and wait and drink and wait some more and drink some more. Eventually they’d say George couldn’t make it and hand out refunds. Some people were…

Just a personal definition but I’d say cancel culture has to be something more than a boycott. Like an appeal to a higher authority, such as the government or corporate ownership, to stop something from being made or being made available even if it’s perfectly legal. Whether it's a product, show or whatever. If…

The point is to sell toys. Making money, Peter. That's always been the point.

Phase change isn’t necessary for liquid cooling. The coolant in a car engine never actually boils because it’s in a pressurized closed loop system where the boiling point of the coolant is higher than at ambient pressure. If there’s a malfunction where the coolant does become a gas the expansion can cause loss of…

The AKC standard for Dobermans includes cropped ears and docked tails. “To preserve the aesthetic of the breed”. Like that aesthetic didn’t come from the fact that your dog is less likely to bleed to death if you cut their ears and tail rather than let them be torn off by another dog in a pit fight. 

Their lawyers would insist that they not discuss any allegations in detail regardless of their guilt or innocence.

Married a twelve year old if I’m not mistaken. I read about him when I was younger and even though the language was veiled reading between the lines he sounded like the Artistic Epstein of The South Seas.

Admire actions not individuals.

With Cruise I think a lot of people feel that being brainwashed is a decent reason for bizarre and inappropriate behavior. And nowadays, since no one is accusing him of rape or cannibalism like some other celebrities, freezing out your children on behalf of a UFO cult sounds nearly wholesome by comparison.

In practice it seems like they’re either paying to get in more arguments with regular people or are paying to increase the number of right wing nut jobs they can grift at one time. Yes they get to the top of replies but everyone of them has a bunch of replies of their own telling them how wrong their opinion is and…

This shouldn’t devolve into people accusing each other of having secret blue checkmarks, nope, not the slightest chance of that happening.

It can be as simple as standing in front of a door and saying "You're not leaving this room until you give me an answer" or something similar. Seems like a douchey power move but in fact a crime too.

There will be retribution for Musk’s decision to ignore city permitting laws.

If it has barely been used let alone misused how does it create fear? It sounds like both the proponents and opponents of this technology overestimated it’s actual usefulness either as a legitimate police resource or as a tool of oppression. It's just another not ready for prime time tech bro scam.

It’s not a book but maybe a webpage would help you out:

Fox News has really pushed the whole blond, white, young (or at least young looking) and thin paradigm for female anchors. While being reasonably attractive was always an asset to getting on screen it didn't used to be one type alone.

Isn't that the place where incredibly wealthy people go to announce their nuptials to other entitled scions who've never worked a day in their lives? If so his mistake was just berating the brides and not the grooms. They all deserve it, families included.

It seems possible that her choice of the word “unfortunately” was in reference to disappointing her fan’s desires rather than some sort of existential commentary on the paradoxical attractions of female straightness. But that wouldn’t satisfy either the need to project our own issues on celebrities or to provide…
