Cue Cartman: Respect mah athoritah!

Geez. Who’s his publicist, John Barron?

It might have been useful for you to know that it’s illegal to prevent employees from discussing salary. And has been for like 80 years. So any NDA can kiss my underpaid ass.

How sad is it that I kept reading ‘leo’ as ‘law enforcement officer’ and not ‘people born in summer’? I thought she was shouting out her show!

I’ve been watching the most recent season of Broadchurch, where the season’s crime is rape of an unconscious woman. And the authorities’ treatment of the victim moves me every week with the compassion that has been institutionally internalized in the UK system (I mean, assuming that’s not dramatic license.) The victim…

And if I thought that Mooch didn’t say as much or more directly to SHS on Friday, I’d be a simpleton indeed. Saying it to a stranger in public was just his way of marking his territory. His awful, misogynist territory.

Yeah, my mom got diagnosed on Halloween, and was dead by New Year. The only upside is that it was enough time to get used to the idea, but not so long to bankrupt us, either financially or emotionally.

There’s a very good org that gets money from me: Medical Students For Choice. They provide training for abortion procedures, which is becoming harder and harder to come by.

Aww, why so worried? Ivanka doesn’t do politics, so she says, and why wouldn’t we take her at her word? [/s]

Can confirm. My megamart spice section in the baking aisle are all in the $5-10 range, even for wee amounts. In the ethnic aisle, they’re all around $2 for a standard jar, $5 for the Mega Jumbo Economy size. No diff in quality that I can discern.

Among people that I know, “I hate to say it” is the tell that ‘it’ is the topic that most consumes them. I.e. “pleasepleaseplease let’s talk about this before I burst!”

I don’t know why he just doesn’t send Meghan to vote. I mean, if Ivanka can sit in for Pops...

This piece made me awfully nostalgic. I used to love these books. My favorite series was The Life and Loves of Lisa St. Claire. If I didn’t have a dime fore the latest issue, my Grammy would sport me one. So much tragedy! My first exposure to soap- style storytelling.

So, I mean, I know he can’t help himself, but this is payback for Macron’s out-handshaking him that time and telling the world he did so, right? This is: Yeah, I’m’a ogle and paw your missus like a dog right here in front of everybody, because you ain’t no man and can’t stop me.

The animation for the character used Tom Cruise’s face as their jumping off point; I bet the casting people are waiting for Tom to show up in brownface.

Geezus. Do they train new cops to scream ‘stop resisting’ the minute they have any interaction with a civilian? Or is it just picked up by osmosis?

The single biggest influence on my becoming atheist? A mandatory 12 credits of Religious Studies at my Catholic university. They taught me about William of Ockham, you see.

Just being rhetorical. It happens in the world, a lot.

I would argue yes, because showbiz is high profile and the public discussion of pay equality here has consciousness-raising results. In the piece above, for instance, Emma’s specific numbers aren’t mentioned, just that she’s either at parity with the boys or not. It doesn’t matter what her (more money than I’ll ever…

I thought they were all het up all the time about the right to bare arms? It’s in the Constitution, dammit!!!
