I thought Tina Fey’s Palin was as good a parody as SNL could muster... but Baldwin is just in the stratosphere. Fey is a great comic who can act but she occasionally struck me as being ready to start cracking up and it always felt like a parody with her(like the other SNL parodies). Baldwin as an outstanding actor…

Big caveat, I stopped watching cable news. So pretty much I see most show references on social media and blogs... where Sam Bee seems to get a lot more coverage. So yeah I see more of Sam Bee than John Oliver... but take that with some grains of salt.

Most often it’s a tired suffix, but here it’s a fantastic juxtaposition with the conventional corruption scandals. Public officials punishing people by closing down a bridge, some guy putting his wife on the payroll without her doing any work etc. Here the scandal is Donald Trump exposing who he really is along with…

Introducing Tic Tac Bold edition, for when you just need to grab her by the pussy.

I don’t know I see a lot more on Sam Bee in the main stream press than I do on John Oliver.

You’re looking at Trump as if he’s a reasonable functional person. In truth he’s a case study in dysfunctional NPD. He doesn’t surround himself with competent people, for him it’s all about having people who recognize his greatness. To an extent his self obsession has helped him learn how to be a promoter and how to…

I dislike the frequent use of the word Gate to describe political scandals, but pussygate works extremely well here.

I had too much coffee for that, some almost came back up.

Well by Trump’s arbitrary standards. I don’t know about you but something about Melania is very unsettling. Anyone else get an uncanny valley affect?

Or get him to bluster and yell like an idiot and make empty threats so that any given tin pot despot can look like a hardass to his people.

Who?

Because its more of an earnings gap when you adjust for certification/degree and specialty(apples to apples) the wage gap shrinks to like 5 cents on the dollar, and then shrinks further if you compare women without children to men.

Right that’s the model that one would expect. So a large disparity in race or gender is enough to raise something of a presumption. One which the employer may or may not be able to rebut. That being said other factors thin out women from climbing the corporate ladder. For instance families are more likely to derail a…

Not exactly, promotions will tend to favor the ready pool of talent, assuming the absence of bias. If 40% of your entry level/senior employees are female but only 20% of your team leaders/project managers are female then how many women will be eligible for promotion to the next rung in the corporate ladder compared to…

First I said should, this means that if we assume the absence of bias then thats what it should look like, I should have been more comprehensive. I’d also add that there have been significantly more lawsuits with respect to the types of employers you mentioned. A female complainant suing her employer and asserting…

If you assume that women in tech are better than their male counterparts, scant evidence and well speculative, then perhaps. But A) that hiring should tend to reflect the available workforce with relevant skills does not suggest discrimination. B) That promotions should tend to follow the make up of the present…

Biases are extremely common. My thoughts, the allegations of this lawsuit are certainly plausible, let’s see how this shakes out.

Just like real life law enforcement and park rangers, mauling in an area well then kill the first bears sighted!

Probably a male squirrel most of the inter squirrel fighting consists of males fighting over territory and it often turns fatal. When you see a squirrel chasing another odds are they aren’t playing, but rather it’s a younger male squirrel(looking for love in all the wrong places) trying to stay out of the claws and…
