Way to go! If a person’s employed in a unionized workplace, or if they’re a public employee, there are at least some avenues available to figuring out what their coworkers are making. If you’re in the private sector, you’re often a lot more dependent on having a higher-up mentor or access to networks who can tell you…

There’s a pretty significant difference between bragging about how rich you are and being open about what you get paid, how you negotiated for it, etc.

I think it depends on what “make a move” means to someone. I think being attracted to someone you work with is pretty common and perfectly OK. Approaching that person and saying “Hey, I’d like to see you socially, what do you think about that?” is also OK, provided you make clear you’re not going to make their work…

Remember when they said they were going to be focusing on keeping on the “bad hombres”? You know, to keep U.S. citizens safe? Unsurprisingly, it turns out that just meant anyone with brown skin, or who speaks Spanish—it was never actually about distinguishing between dangerous criminals and nonviolent undocumented…

This proposed restriction on abortion access is shit for numerous reasons. Besides the most obvious problem of removing people’s ability to make choices about their own bodies in consultation with their medical providers, there’s also the fact that even in wanted pregnancies, some fatal conditions in fetuses can only…

Maybe she’s a person who votes Republican-Democrat-Republican as a point of principle, based on the belief that one party shouldn’t hold power for too long? (this isn’t a position I hold, but I could believe that some people do)

I think, for a lot of women in the film & TV industry, learning not to outspokenly challenge male-dominated Hollywood can be a professional survival skill. Both in women I know and in interviews I’ve heard with others, you get a lot of women who are doing feminist work—writing better women characters, pushing for more…

Estimates of false reports are really, really hard to do (as you might imagine). Also, false reports doesn’t always mean false victims. A study I saw a while back found that a significant number of potentially false reports were reported by someone other than the alleged victim—for example, a parent who disapproved of…

Also, this: “It sounds like your decision not to date was the main thing keeping you from dating and now that you’re deciding otherwise I’m confident you’ll find plenty of success.”

Super weird, if well-intentioned, response. People who’ve spent a long time being self-sufficient as single people *do* sometimes have a…

“She has a nice smile on her face so I bet she treats you well” suggests to me that DJT thinks:

It’s not the “opposite problem” because straight people don’t have a lot of problems with visibility (so they’re not losing much by having one fewer marriage that appears to be straight). I’m not talking about identity, I’m talking about visibility.

I get this way about celebrities who have had queer relationships but then get into very high-profile opposite-sex relationships (I’m thinking Amber Heard, Angelina Jolie, etc.). I absolutely recognize their right to a private, individual sexuality, and I also recognize that a woman dating a man doesn’t revoke her…

He does! I’d argue he’s the best singer of the three men (though that isn’t saying much). He’s got a sort of Beatles sound, much better than the shout-and-then-hold-it style of singing that Brosnan obviously had to be taught.

All of this self-flagellation over the failure of Democrats’ message, though, ignores a much bigger set of factors. (1) 2016 was the first major election after the Supreme Court gutted the Voting Rights Act, making it easier for (usually red) states to redistrict in ways that would give disproportionate power to white…

Yeah, I kind of hate myself for noticing how she looks, but: maintaining the Fox News blonde/smoky-eye-for-daytime full face look, plus working in this White House, makes her look so, so tired and dried out. Putting aside how loathsome I find her as a person, I look at her and just want to give her a long vacation,…

I completely support the creation of this list, because Reese’s holiday shapes are near and dear to my heart. I put eggs in the number 1 spot, pumpkins in 2, trees at 3 (and I haven’t really seen the rest of them, although I did accidentally buy some of the yellow white chocolate eggs recently).
However, I would have…

Taran Killam’s now got a gig playing King George in Hamilton on Broadway, so at least he seems to have landed in a good spot!

Exactly. Shade isn’t just being rude to someone, it requires wit. And 45 is witless.

I’d say don’t expect marriage to change things, it’s not magic. If you have a solid relationship now where you’re able to communicate and not pretending to be something you’re not, then marriage shouldn’t be any different.

They’re “swimsuits” insofar as they’re garments (kind of) and you could go swimming in them. But if those are the criteria for inclusion in the swimsuit edition of SI, I’d love to see the magazine go all in: give us Kate Upton in a 3-piece suit wearing flippers, or Navy SEALs in government-issued wetsuits.
