“Dan Patrick ... announced plans to introduce an anti-trans bathroom bill similar to North Carolina’s HB2 back in November.”

Just to be clear I think it is great that Jennifer Lopez is (or really anyone is - we all should be) in a position to be able to upfront choose their jobs, I am not a big fan of the backing out something that has been commitment to. If (IF) the story is true any idea who the performance was for and who might be tapped…

Heck, even before that there was the tv series with Mary Steenburgen, Joe Mantegna, and Amber Tamblyn where God would show up every episode as different people called Joan of Arcadia.

This was never going to be repealed. At best there was going to be some mealy rewording to adjust just the bathroom access parts or language of the bill. It was originally passed because the state did not want any of the cities in NC to be able to enact, pass, whatever, laws* of any true meaning. It was passed to make…

Just curious about the Today show handcuffs story (really about my own reading comprehension) -

If there is one what is the best, or what are some other options, for dvr’s that are subscription-free, out of the box ready to go with no sign ups needed?

They later stated that they were making a joke when they said that.

Before going to a lot of trouble is there an IT department you can check with? That used to happen at my former job all the time. I do not know how it works but the ptb had the IT department put in filters that were triggered by certain words (fuck, etc.,- oddly NSFW images triggered nothing) in Jez or io9 post…

How does the Army Corps of Engineers have authority in this situation? I could understand if it was a situation involving something structural, a natural disaster, etc., (though even then I thought they could only advise) but this is “just” people.

Sorry, completely off-topic, but does this picture of Lady Gaga used in the header not look like Gaga to anyone else, or is it just me? Thanks.

(Sorry, slightly off-topic, at least based on the posts in this comments section, but something not covered by anyone else yet jumped out at me)

“Mix equal parts vinegar and water, then brew. After it’s finished, brew again with just clean water to rinse any remaining vinegar solution away.”

I did not really watch this (it was on in the background but the sound was off) but honestly my first and only thought was either if Ms. Kotb fought to avoid being part of the segment, since there was probably a ban on asking certain questions, or how hard the show’s producers had to beg her to not be in the segment…

This adds nothing, and I know that there been live-action versions of the story before, but for some reason of all the live Beasts this Beast’s pre-CGI look reminded me specifically of Robert Burke’s makeup in the No Such Thing (with Sarah Polley). No idea why, they really do not look alike. Plus he was Monster, not…

Sorry for a dumb question but how is that car considered a minivan? At best it looks like it could classified as a crossover, or those small SUV-type vehicle. It looks like it has almost no cargo space, really very little room. What am I missing? Thanks.

Sorry to ask this (stupid) question (that everyone here probably knows the answer to), but I have never run across the descriptor before (and searching did not help*), but what is the difference in meaning between Mexican-American and American-Mexican (assuming there is one)? Thanks.

Been meaning to ask this on one of these articles, but on the subject of job titles what do we do, on our resumes, when the actual job title and position do not at all reflect the work we actually did?

Sorry for a probably dumb question but, only from a legal standpoint, leaving decency out of it, what is to stop the mother from writing about her daughter? Even if they are in writing and legally drawn up/witnessed do the daughter’s wishes carry any legal weight? Though I understand that folks can sue over details in…

(Sorry, could not resist)

Other folks have already brought up George Reeves, and this adds nothing, but I just find it off or weird that an article this long on the subject of the mispronunciation makes no mention of him.
