Agreed all around, but the “still” part is what most amazes me. Her style still looks like she stepped out of a Smash Mouth video from 2001.

Is it sometimes referred to as ‘led’ and not ‘lead’? Am I losing it? Or still drunk from last night? Has my home filled with carbon dioxide and caused me to finally abandon the tenuous grip I’ve painstakingly maintained with reality until this moment?

I believe it’s actually explicitly illegal for an employer to ask that.

Showing her wig would be more freedom than half the actual human beings in Saudi Arabia get, so...

Victims will continue to be dismissed as long as companies are in charge of investigating their own sexual harassment complaints. The system should be that complaints are only filed with an independent 3rd party who then investigates.

So basically it’s been the 1st season of 800 Words played out in real life ?

I tried to star you and it took a star away. I don’t know why but this comment is totally making me cackle out loud in my office.

Women are NOT surprised that it has taken this long.

No, but now we can add “asian throne” to the ever-growing list of ersatz “casting couches.”

Oh, and he was in the Phillipines this week praising tyrant ‘murder drug users without trial’ Duterte for being tough on crime. Which, given his whole abusing-his-position-as-a-deputy-to-extort-sex thing, is kind of relevant.

Stassa - this was a brilliant piece. Thank you.

It’s a “Guided Democracy” now where the military still have a major role in the country’s political system but she has both a majority of seats in both houses and was given a new role similar to Prime Minister to get around her not being allowed to be President.

Isn’t the country still a dictatorship? Suu Kyi is out of her prison they put her in for “being loud”, now this silence is deafening.

I want to be surprised by Aung San Suu Kyi, who was once viewed as this true hero of democracy and justice against the military regime, being so deathly silent on (and even worse at times supporting) what’s happening in the country but the woman refused to even let the Rohingya (or Muslims in general) stand as part…

I’ve gotten in many heated debates about this very thing. I have often called out the supposed liberals and their die hard defence of hateful bullshit. Everyone jumps over each other to be the cool one who defends free speech but stay largely silent when freedom of expression, to assemble, and to speak are actually…

Starred for everything but “reasonable strategic decision.”

The McGowan suspension is just an example of the larger problem with free speech in the United States. Americans are conditioned to think of free speech as how far you’re willing to go to protect white supremacist terrorists (i.e. the right of the KKK to march on a town) and not how far you’re willing to go to protect…

“Dale Friedman, an attorney who has worked for the defense since 2006, told the Sentinel that the district’s outrageous claim was used in an effort to reduce potential damages the district might have to pay out”

We only blamed you for your own molestation because we wanted to spend less money! That’s okay, right?  

But I think the chief reacted to a lot of public pressure and scrutiny in making a decision that doesn’t fit the conduct.”

I actually can’t believe more police departments seem unaware of this. If you fuck up your community relations, it’s going to be much harder for you to do your job. You need your community to be willing to work with you if you’re actually going to attempt to solve crimes or whatever. Of course, it seems less and less…
