Pink worked with an Oakland, CA dance company called Bandaloop to produce this—they dance in the air all over the world, so keep your eye out for their next show.

The director responded, too:

I suggest Dudley Dursley. (Combined with Muntz.)

I have a relative and a close friend who are bipolar, and neither of them have ever done or said anything along the lines of what Gibson has, let alone failed to apologize for them. As for Jodi Foster, it seems that she’s just one of the many people who can’t deal with it when someone they like does something bad. It…

I was surprised to see this, but Congresswoman Nydia Velazquez recently used “Puerto Rican American citizen” to describe herself. https://www.dailykos.com/stories/2017/10/13/1706572/-Congresswoman-Nydia-Velazquez-blasts-Trump-on-Puerto-Rico-threats-calls-him-unpresidential

Yes, you’re right—I misread the bullet point that says an employer cannot close offices/facilities for unionizing. That implies he didn’t shut down the entire business, and I misread that. But employees have reported that they were threatened, and I hope he faces charges for that.

Thanks—you’re correct.

I think you may be right—that info was far enough down on the page that I didn’t see it. However, this article indicates there may be other legitimate grievances the employees can make against Ricketts, since they were supposedly threatened for considering unionizing.

I’m not an employment lawyer, but the NLRB page says, “For example, you may not

It is. (Sorry to basically post this same info three times, but this story really burns me up.) https://www.nlrb.gov/rights-we-protect/whats-law/employers/discriminating-against-employees-because-their-union

He’s not within his rights, if they can prove that the closure was to prevent unionization. https://www.nlrb.gov/rights-we-protect/whats-law/employers/discriminating-against-employees-because-their-union

“It is unlawful to discourage (or encourage) union activities or sympathies ‘by discrimination in regard to hire or tenure of employment or any term or condition of employment.’ For example, employers may not discharge, lay off, or discipline employees, or refuse to hire job applicants, because they are pro-union.”

There’s a 1994 New Yorker magazine interview with Oliver Stone in which he grabs a female employee in front of the reporter, and then jokes about sexual harassment. Then writer/director John Milius tells the reporter, in a way that has its own sleaze to it, about the time Stone spiked his date’s drink with quaaludes…

he’s dangling it in front of me if I meet him in person

I have no idea, but I thought her performance in “The Notorious Bette Page” was excellent.

Brandon Teena is the name of the real person who inspired that movie.

If you have a specific criticism of the NY Times, then have at it. But just a blanket attack on them doesn’t make sense to me—if they’re so terrible and Trumpian, how come they just put out this important article? https://www.nytimes.com/2017/09/26/magazine/how-fake-news-turned-a-small-town-upside-down.html?

yeah, I think some people here don’t get how style guides work. A style guide might replace “longshoreman” with “stevedore.” There is no style guide that completely replaces a word with a different definition.

This is what it was like to be one of Hefner’s girlfriends in recent years, according to one of them: https://www.buzzfeed.com/kateaurthur/holly-madison-burns-it-down?utm_term=.dnzYWEP91#.svm58ymvJ
