Wonder how long before she’s fired or harassed so bad by her “brothers in blue” that she quits?

The punchline is worth the wait.

My son (now 6) has always loved digging and has a big pit in our backyard where he “excavates.” When he gets tired, he’ll lay down in the pit, throw some dirt on his belly and legs and take a “dirt nap.”

After a particularly dramatic reading of Country Mouse, City Mouse my 3 year old became fascinated with mousetraps. After making several fake ones, we relented and bought a real one (never used! de-sprunged) which he adored and brought with him everywhere for several months. Including restaurants. This caused a lot of…

This is true, but you also can’t win when you’re dealing with people who are willfully trying to game the system. Those people setting their “14 minute timers” knew exactly what they were doing.

Yup - as mentioned certain ingrained knowledge coupled with muscle memory is important in certain fields (e.g. EMT, Dr.’s, maybe air traffic controller) ... but for a lot of people their daily work is about processing information, making a good decision and executing that decision effectively. I think there is…

I’ve taken professional certification exams that were friggen open internet. Because in your day to day like you’re going to be able to Google something, and the test cared a lot more about how you used what you found to inform your decision making.

Ivanka thinks she’s all that just because she bought herself a chin.

Yup, that’s what I read as well. And honestly, after having a series of miscarriages back to back, I fucking get it. I’m an antisocial person so I would never have a party (also, I think they’re stupid, aside from hers), but you better believe I tacked the “it’s a girl” reveal to my fridge and screamed while jumping…

There’s also a big difference between doing a gender reveal via a cake and starting a forest fire.

They are taking up the limited space Black academics can hope to to be considered worthy of occupying. African American studies is the only area of academics where you can reliably find black academics. Even then the top positions are filled with white people (like the white male professor who was brought all the way…

Yeah these are classic examples of having your cake and eating it too - in their professional lives there was a benefit to being known as POC because of their fields, but they could walk around the street without being hassled by police because they obviously don’t look like POC.

Eh, it’s hard to recommend. Even as a fairly casual fan mostly watching for the conversation, the ending was still pretty disappointing. And it isn’t just disappointing the way that other shows have dips in quality. GoT’s end fails to tie up plots and character arcs that left me feeling like they could have cut the…

No.

If you haven’t read the books, sure why not - despite the sleaze, the acting just gets better although the final season is shit but then this has happened to so many other shows and it’s not about the destination but the journey. If you have read the books, think about the worst film rendition of one of your favorite…

The show was pretty good until they ran out of book and none of the top notch actors could save the show. 

Jason has been on some bullshit for years, so it’s not surprising at all surprising the stance he is taking. When he had the AUDACITY to call Serena Williams a slacker and the nerve to say she needed to get in shape...I knew he was garbage. And that hasn’t changed a bit in the 10+ years since. For him and other black…

On the one hand, it feels unseemly that her family drama is playing out in public.

In the early 1990s, I worked with an insufferable woman none of us could stand. At one point during the time I endured her, she walked by while I was talking to another employee.

I work in software, a very male dominated industry. I was negotiating a deal with another company and the representative said “have you ever worked in software before? It seems like you don’t know what you’re doing.” To which I responded “I see on my LinkedIn notifications that you looked at my page the past 3 days in…
