Just name the new ones “Drunk RedacTED Talks”

No, it’s not going to pass (OK, caveat, I was wrong about Trump, didn’t think he could go all the way without releasing his taxes, so I don’t know anything anymore).

It’s the Welfare Queen thing all over again, really. If a system is not 100% perfect in using taxpayer money and there are non-virtuous individuals using government programs, the programs themselves are clearly not worth it and should be scrapped. I mean, who cares if a program is 99% successful; if that 1% is wasting …

This isn’t going to pass, right? Like even the Trump fans will eat their reps over this shit, right?

Parkinson’s law of triviality is C. Northcote Parkinson’s 1957 argument that members of an organisation give disproportionate weight to trivial issues.^[1] He provides the example of a fictional committee whose job was to approve the plans for a nuclear power plant spending the majority of its time on discussions about…

Exactly. As if the cost of a phone plan would cover premiums—let alone prescriptions and co-pays.

Will not be open.

Will Jezabel and Lifehacker refrain from posting “deals” and shopping links tomorrow?

I have the day “off” because I only work full-time May through October as a nature guide, though I develop and practice programs and talks for this org all year round for no pay. I plan to go out with my husband, wear red and offer coffee to women striking if there are any (shout out to Pioneer Valley MA)? I tried for…

Seriously. If you wanted your private life to be private, you go the Benedict Cumberbatch route and quietly commit to an interesting, driven person who does their own work well and isn’t a total thirst bot. You dated Taylor Swift. In the words of noted Palestinian-American philosopher Khaled Muhammed Khaled,…

Gonna say, as an actor, I don’t think most actors practice facial expressions in the mirror... We generally have some, you know, familiarity with them to draw on. (But I can totally imagine T-Hidd doing so.)

He’s...an actor.

I take it he didn’t like your LokiXTonyStark fanfiction either....

(pssst: some actors do that.)
