I also found that odd. It’s apparently a “unique” name her mom came up with, which can result in unknown cultural issues or connotations sometimes. Since her parents were Haitian, though, I can’t imagine they weren’t familiar with the issues with the modern French language connotation.

It’s just lazy stereotyping. Shockingly, cultures use what is traditionally available where they live or trade to obtain seasonings. German cuisine doesn’t not use spices. They use mustard, horseradish, parsley, thyme, juniper, bay leaves, caraway, chives - all native to central/northern Europe. Just because…

Julianne Escobedo Shepherd left as EIC and will be replaced by Laura Bassett. We’ll see what changes will be made and how tenable they are.

Poor Jay Cutler. Hard to find a good woman who supports your public partner criticizing, jobless, MAGA, anti-vax stance. :(

I feel so awful for her family who has never given into the bullshit surrounding the case. I was in Iowa in the period between her murder and the body being found and everyone was confounded and heartbroken how she just disappeared from the street in her town. The sentence is just.

It’s also a part of a lot of cultural cuisine heritage in a major way. Not just one ingredient but imagine Indian cuisine without ghee and paneer; Turkish/Greek cuisine without yogurt and feta cheese; Italian pizza or pasta without cheese; French cheese in...everything.

Taking bets on how long the Christell Stause/Jason Oppenheimer “relationship” lasts and then how long they will be able to milk it on the show for drama after they break up.

Exactly. She’s admitted her name was on the deeds for houses and property that she had never visited and didn’t know anything about. She chose not to ask questions. I do believe that a lot of that $20 million she used for Erika Jayne and the clothes and stylists and lifestyle is gone. My question now is will she be…

Following up on yesterday’s dirtbag - Mike Richards is out as host at Jeopardy! He should be out as EP as well for overseeing this PR disaster.

Billie Jean is truly an inspiration, putting her time, money, and influence where her mouth is. The list of actual accomplishments she’s achieved on and off the court, especially for women, LGBT, and human rights, is incredible.

It’s not even a one-off comment, if you read the article. There’s multiple misogynistic comments, offensive comments against people with physical and mental disabilities, deriding people on unemployment and SNAP benefits (food stamps), economic status, and national origin.

I follow @whatfranwore on Instagram which has given me a new appreciation of Fran Drescher’s style icon status.

In what way is this an unfair question, though? She just played the Olympics, where media appearances after matches aren’t required. Yet as the favorite at home, after a disappointing lost in an early round, she voluntarily chose to go answer questions from the media, the exact thing she has withdrawn from other…

Really? Is there any empirical evidence to show that more media outlets report “athlete will donate future winnings to X cause” versus “athlete is donating $$$ to X cause”?

Why doesn’t Osaka just donate a set amount to Haiti relief now? She’s the highest paid female athlete in the world. Her participation could net anything from $24,000 to $255,000, which is anywhere from 0.05-0.5% of her earning last year, and won’t be received for weeks.

And SNAP benefits (food stamps) are set to increase 25% as well, which assists households with AND without children. Combined, these programs will make a real difference on decreasing food insecurity in this country.

Given that the sons have....self-defined rich father-funded hobby careers and his GF was apparently in the line of work and dedicated to the company pre-relationship and able to prove her competence enough to be voted Chairman of the Board, I don’t think Richardson was convinced he could entrust either of his sons…

It’s well and good that Sauders used her voice, although “shout outs” may not really result in a substantive message being conveyed among the international media that was present. I’m really surprised the lede or a separate article isn’t about Timanovskaya who is actually personally being oppressed at this moment with…

“spent the last year hoarding vaccines.”

Unless you grew up in the Catholic Church in Italy (and let’s be real, the Vatican is a separate country, but the customs and culture is inherently Italian. Of the 266 popes, 217 have been Italy), I don’t see how you’re uniquely qualified to dictate to Catholics in Italy what is appropriate in their country and…
