It’s like being mad at All the President’s Men for focusing on Woodward and Bernstein instead of doing a deep dive on the Nixon presidency.

It was about the process of getting the story published and the institutional bullshit that protected people like Lauer and Weinstein. I don’t think it minimizes anything about the victims, it’s just about a different-ish topic? It’s like being mad at All the President’s Men for focusing on Woodward and Bernstein

Just because your step mother was nasty doesn’t make it OK to be violent towards any and all stepmothers.

Someone tell me I’m not the only one who initially read this as pushed her ‘mother-in-law’, instead of ‘stepmother’ down the stairs and was like, damn, she went out for the QUEEN! for a hot second?

In sort of related news, I work for a Canadian university that will be renovating many of our washrooms to be inclusive. The concept was largely inspired by this video.

As the parent of a 16-yr-old trans boy, I can tell you that it is a struggle, and a huge adjustment, and it can totally disrupt your entire family dynamic. But look, that’s what you sign on for when you become a parent, period.

Hm something tells me Turner won't face the same level of criticism on this site that Jamil does. 

This is the last show I would freak out on for getting something wrong. I imagine that the producers attempted to get it right within the amusing analogy. Some jokes miss. 

Queen Bey and Jay-Z both own several super cars and many others but no one seems to think that’s an issue. 

oh, you’ve accidentally found yourself on jezebel too.

A lot of times, that’s what donations do. Many annual gifts go right into the financial aid budget. Gifts to the endowment fund future scholarships when dividends are paid back into the college’s operating budget.

Completely unsurprising.

You’re right that they won’t suffer much in the way of consequences. Some people will suck up to them, some will avoid them and badmouth them amongst themselves. Maybe there will be a snide joke at their expense in a campus newspaper that would be embarrassing if having billions of dollars didn’t give them an ego that

It’s on the resort, although they were at least wise enough to book them into a Sunday-Wednesday pattern. That would have been mutually beneficial to both parties, as resort would have lower rates for those nights vs. a weekend stay, plus it helps their group business budget. If it had been over a weekend, there’s no
