So we’re coaching our still-maturing high school students to believe that outdated, racist views on hair are fine as long as you win this game, right? This was a prime opportunity to teach the importance of standing up for one of their teammates. All for one; one for all. She was willing to endure cutting her hair for…

That is some fucking horseshit. Her whole team should have walked off the field.

Wouldn’t the helmet and hat she wears throughout the game cover it? But of course, the reason is to exert power, which is why the bullshit arbitrary rule exists in the first place 

Except that Chrissy would direct message Courtney Stodden, in private, and tell them to kill themself. That is not edgelord, troll humour for the masses. That is private, ghoulish behaviour. And she directed her insults to Stodden for a period of about eighteen months. That is persistent harassment toward an…

There’s something deeply unsettling about the fact that Chrissy told her to kill herself over DM. If she had done it exclusively through tweets it would have come off as a distasteful attempt at edgy, attention-seeking, dark humor—but through DM seems like she sincerely meant it, which is vile.

Just tell them that boys are getting boners from seeing girl lips and it’s interfering with their sports ball abilities. At least the girls will have to wear masks then.

The same goes for requiring proof of vaccination for children or teachers to be allowed to attend or work at any school. Even when I was entering college in 2002, I had to show I was vaccinated for all the usual child vaccinations as well as for meningitis. So all of this BS that it is unconstitutional and unamerican …

“everyone knows children are not affected by the virus.”

What, is this article in direct response to the Root article about how white people aren’t washin’ our stank asses as much during the pandemic? Cuz I mostly agree with that article over this one. Shower daily (unless you don’t poop daily I guess)

not just the management but the customers. My daughter works at a restaurant and says the customers have amazingly become even more entitled jerks since the lockdown “ended”, and the idea that people who would rather collect unemployment than accepting shitty wages to cater to spoiled assholes absolutely infuriates…

Yeah, I was like "Lady, I didn't marry him."

Barbara Ehrenreich makes the exact same point as you in Nickel and Dimed (p. 202),

Quite a few of my friends work in bars and restaurants. Even with the enhanced benefits, they’re not bringing in as much money as they’d get from working — but they’re not spending as much money, either, thanks to not having to commute. It almost balances out. Almost.

Cry me a river. This labor reckoning is delicious. I’ve been working (on the books) since I was 16. It wasn’t until I was in my mid-thirties (8 different jobs) that I earned something approximating a comfortable wage, and I’m one of the lucky ones! Pay up, suckers.

Agreed. I’m a high skill worker in a demanding field, and I’m seeing even very profitable companies trying to hire new people at 70% of the going rate. I also have the benefit that my wife is in a very similar area, and we're able to compare offers we see. The low paying ones have been shocked when we don't respond to…

Unemployment typically does not cover 100% of your lost wages. Even with the $300 supplement, the Chamber of Commerce’s own analysis shows that 75% of people collecting unemployment are getting less than they got from working. It’s highly unlikely that there are a significant number of people turning down jobs because…

Eww, showering once a week? Disgusting. Even if you are barely active, that’s just gross. If you’re concerned about your skin drying out, get a body wash that is sulfate free. But please, for the sake of hygiene, shower more than once a week.

My money is on Regina King. This woman is winning awards on both sides of the camera, knows super heroes, and already has contracts with WB.
And I’m sure Marvel would like to avoid another Bryan Singer situation of letting a well known director with a particular franchise just go to the other side so easily.

Billionaires, by definition, hoard wealth. The fact that they have billions of dollars means that allllll that money isn’t circulating among people. It’s just sitting in one person’s investments, making them more money. As billionaires go, he’s probably the least bad, but they’re all bad.
