Boycott and let them know why.

Yes, but the article says that many technicians have their tips skimmed. All the more important to tip your technician DIRECTLY, and in cash.

But I donate to UNICEF every year, and my white guilt tells me that makes everything else I do okay.

The takeaway from this should not be, oh hey, when you get your mani-pedi, be sure to give the wage slave who does it a couple of extra bucks that her boss might not steal.

i actually think it’s fabulous, but out of place.

Believe it or not, it doesn’t actually have to be a competition. She looked beautiful, many other women also looked beautiful. The end.

I don’t care if it’s on sale and you’re saving however much money...you’re still spending 200 bucks on an ugly bag.

I’LL SAY IT. The bags are ugly. Bye.

You’re a better person than me. I hate teens. I just dress like one.

She’s right, though. I sprung fully-grown from my father’s forehead at about age 25. #Athena

I like Madonna's efforts to defy the All About Eve narrative generally thrust upon competing older/younger entertainers. Her collaborations with younger performers brings continuity, generosity and a kind of sympático to a process commonly depicted as ugly and cutthroat.

I appreciate that this gets the clicks and all, but could we talk about some awesome women for a second? Like how the Guardian's staff just chose a brilliant female editor, and they're already leading the way with a host of brilliant women writing for both them and the Observer?

Does your company also provide benefits? Genuine question. I've only ever been freelance, never staff for any of my shows so I can't speak to that.

Yeah, I suppose I can't speak to the work environment on other shows, but I was actually offered scripted work earlier this year, multiple times, and declined. (Same story with two of my friends.) I work on fun network shows (for example, I used to work on Survivor) and I like my shows, the people I work with, etc. …

This is a problem with all of TV. The masses aren't going to stop watching the Kardashians and start watching Our America with Lisa Ling, just as the masses aren't going to stop watching the Big Bang Theory for an Arrested Development. I would hesitate to even put Parts Unknown and Real World in the same category but…

I think Jessica Lange was just drunk.

Um, I don't know Colin, let me tell you a story about a stubborn young girl who hated sports and didn't like learning about things that she hated

Sadly, it's not "extraordinary." It's typical of what those of us who write about sports get a lot.

In Germany we have sex-ed from 5th grade on including relationships, boundaries and respect.

It's getting SO much worse. At least twice a day I talk myself out of a "Not to be an asshole but...." comment. It's just such a basic part of being a writer, right? I know mistakes are easy to make in a rush, it just promotes the idea that none of these writers really give a fuck about their product and don't care…
