Where on the male anatomy do we inject botox to stop men from telling women to smile?

Yeah, it was fun to watch, but it wasn’t some kind of revelatory documentary piece. It was a behind-the-scenes look at a concert with allllllll the filters on.

I was about to comment with this quote too! This is spot on and the reason I love this movie. Also, as someone who grew up too late to hear this soundtrack when it was current and playing on the radio, there are so many hits from the 80s that bring me back directly to this movie and make me smile in doing so.

It needs to come up at some point, but I still shake my head and chuckle when I consider how far out we are. We still have so many candidates on that stage. Once we’re down to the real contenders, I’d like to hear how they will each approach the issue.

Most people don’t work as independent contractors (10-20% of the US workforce depending on whose data you use), but I guess sorry for assuming you were part of the 80-90% of employee workers who may know generally about contract work but are often unfamiliar with the details. The WWE is entitled to do whatever they…

In spirit they are not independent contractors (and by law they shouldn’t be), but the WWE has chosen to designate them as such to avoid paying them benefits, etc.

Also morbidly curious and went way too deep into her IG. My takeaway: she rich. That’s about it. She had money to do things that are always gonna be interesting to someone (fancy Oxford dinners, driving to the Hamptons, eating at expensive restaurants) and she documented those experiences as if she were someone…

The problem is that all of the wrestlers have to work as independent contractors - working as a salaried employee is not an option. When you work as an independent contractor (hi, I do) the employer is not responsible for anything. I have to cover my own health insurance, liability insurance, travel, etc. It works for…

This does sound exhilarating, but the WWE won’t be getting my money until they compensate their wrestlers fairly (and not as independent contractors) and offer healthcare benefits to the people who are their revenue source and are quite literally putting their physical health on the line for profits.

Perel is queen.

You nailed it. I loved the book (love the cerebral weirdness of Donna Tart in general), but I know I will hate the movie and am wary of books like this one being adapted to the screen in general. But you are so right on the Olive Kitteridge treatment.

I mean, technically MeToo isn’t focused on pedophilia and step-incest, so he’s not really wrong. But he’s still gross a likely a criminal who sexually assaulted and/or coerced 2 of his step daughters.

“Which is ironic considering these are the last people on earth who should be procreating right now.”

If it has fewer and less severe side effects than female contraception pills, all the better.

What I see as the biggest issue with a decreasing birthrate is that there becomes an imbalance between the number of people leaving the workforce and number of people entering it. It feels especially precarious at the moment because not only are the Boomers about the create a vacuum that Millennials may not…

There are so many stall tactics that defendants and their representation can use to delay a trial. Changing representation is a big one, there also may have been a variety of pleas that were changed last minute. The dear lawyers in my life are frequently screwed by their clients - thinking they’re walking into a…

As a former nanny I actually appreciated the shout-out. If this family is anything like the wealthy ones I worked for, chances are that kid only spoke Spanish for a little while. (One of the kids I took care of didn’t recognize her dad whenever he got home from work trips throughout early childhood, and I was always on…

Except that each and every one of them is a brand - and their brands promote lifestyles that are insanely climate unfriendly. There has been such an uptick in people I know vacationing in Italy this summer as compared to previous summers, and I blame celebrity Instagrams.

To me it’s just all of the unnecessary stuff that gets me. Like, y’all live in Southern California, you do not need to fly across the world to sit on a boat in the Mediterranean. Sit on a boat in the GD Pacific Ocean. There is no excuse for that ish.

In terms of my reaction to things - I agree. But there are a lot of people who are backing Biden due entirely to his perceived quiet and calmness (my parents included). I think the majority of people are tired of the sturm und drang of partisan politics - they are silent in that they are not posting about it because…
