Greg Howard was also investigated, and it looks like he’s no longer working there as of March. Did they actually push him out, or was his fellowship just over? Is he working anywhere else now?

Whose job is it to change how something is reported if not reporters?

Ah, in that case, she’s doing an extraordinarily good job of keeping it a secret.

The Reese Witherspoon that donated money to Hillary Clinton when she was a senator and Obama when he was running for president is a closet Republican? Must be a new development.

I think the article conflates two distinct genres of movie. The Passion of the Christ (like The Robe and 10 Commandments, or more recently, stuff like Heaven Is For Real) isn’t a distinctly “Christian” movie. It’s a Hollywood film, made by a normal production company, for a general audience that’s expected to include…

To be fair, it’s a different scenario than Bikram, who is a) still alive and b) has a rights setup that ensures every studio using his method is paying him money. Jois sucks, but he’s dead.

Hot yoga is still as popular as ever, but I think the studios just aren’t bothering to align themselves with Bikram. You used to have to pay fees to use the name, and before this, the brand was enough of a draw that it’d be worth it. Now that’s obviously not the case, but I don’t think it’s stopped anybody from doing…

I have bad news for you about Ashtanga.

For what it’s worth, that’s what she’s doing—Rainbow was released on his label but without his direct involvement. (He no longer runs the label but is still making money off what she releases.) But she’s still tied to his label for two more albums. And the courts are using the fact that she did record Rainbow on his…

All of these lawsuits over college applicant discrimination are a farce to begin with, because they’re built on the extraordinarily false premise that top-level college admissions are a meritocracy. But this one is extra stupid because, like you pointed out, if admissions were actually gender-blind at Yale, they would…

He doesn’t go to Yale.

so can we please just go ahead and conclude that “going off” on someone is not in the same category as forcibly kissing them, and need not be introduced as though it’s of even remotely the same class of (mis)behavior?

I don’t think he eats breakfast or snacks most of the time. He claims that this is 90-95 percent of his entire diet.

I wouldn’t recommend it for somebody trying to get healthy, but, uh, it’s not as bad as it looks. The recommended daily intake of carbs for an adult male is 130 g/day, and though he’s above the “ideal” sodium intake, he’s well below the daily upper limit. Fat is the biggest issue—20-35% of calories are “supposed” to…

For what it’s worth, I don’t think #1 is true. People seem to be basing this on the way Napster etc. tanked the music market, but that doesn’t seem directly comparable. If MoviePass tanks, there are no free or extremely cheap substitutes for the movie theater experience. People already have the options to pirate, wait…

The Kardashians didn’t vote for Trump. Kanye got there all on his own.

Like I said elsewhere, I think MoviePass’s long-term goal is to become the movie studio (or maybe the movie theater, or maybe both if they can figure out a way to do that legally). Their current iteration as movie-discount-provider is only a midway point on a trip to some completely different product. But it’s a…

Movie studios. The kind of data MoviePass now possesses is stuff other studios would kill to have. If you have the best marketing and targeting info in the business, you have a huge leg up on other moviemakers. And if they can leverage that into making profitable films . . . they could literally make up what they lost…

The Silicon Valley model generally involves raising enough outside investor cash so that you can survive an initial period of losing lots and lots of money while you prioritize customer growth . . . then slowly figuring out a way to make that profitable (or not figuring it out, in Twitter’s case).
