“everything being discussed leads to actionable items” - what a concept. I go to a weekly cross-departmental meeting. No agenda. No notes. No action items. No nothing. It’s just a blab fest of people running down their to-do list from the past week.  

YMMV on this, particularly if you’re a woman. I’ve found that being the note-taker in a meeting generally relegates you to the role of secretary rather than facilitator/group leader. A lot of career coaches discourage women from taking on this sort of role in meetings because you risk taking yourself out of the…

Many, many shows of stuck the landing; and arguably the 20+ film run of Marvel so far has been very similar to a TV show, and it stuck the landing with Endgame. There’s more Marvel to come, but they could easily call this the end of one series, and just like we’re getting GoT spinoffs, all future movies will be part…

Vampire Weekend’s discography is the official soundtrack of gentrification  

To me the problem falls into two groups:

I was in the Navy and this is the only interesting thing I ever saw. I was in the Naval Guard force tasked with guarding the ICMBs on a Sub base. Inside the magazine storage area there are 6 100ft guard towers manned 24/7/365 by armed sailors and marines. After guard mount, I arrived at the tower I was relieving and lo…

I think you’ve misunderstood what the word “courtesy” means

To be honest I hadn’t considered how every fucking thing on earth has a “social” or “trending” widget on it now, that part legitimately sucks.

“My socks are hard to put on because my hips are getting tight. My right leg is always shorter than the left so my back is always locked. Acid reflux is messing up my vocal cords. Jaw is sore some mornings. Nightmares.”

I think Rowdy Gentleman (the apparel arm of Total Frat Move) started selling the Reagan/Bush shirts a few years ago.

I don’t really follow tennis, but I enjoy these clips because I like to pretend the players are tiny little athletes playing on a normal-sized ping pong table.

Those people are wrong and uninformed.

Albert - I have gotten a lot of joy out of your work on this site. Your HitchBot takedown is to this day one of my favorite things I have ever read on the Internet, and your writing is a big part of how I got to be a passionate NBA fan. This piece is all true, and good, and like all of your work, well-written.

José did quite a number on my liver, too. Then I discovered Patrón.

Her hit “Fight Song” was Hillary Clinton’s campaign anthem, so this isn’t the first time she’s let America down.

Pink Floyd- Dark side of the moon. No justification necessary really.

At least he’s got that Sandlot residual money to fall back on.

I think a lot of these people think that now that Trump has been elected that they’ll never have to hear about anyone who isn’t a white guy again. Gay marriage is over and women in positions of power will just step down so white guys can take their places. They don’t understand that shit isn’t going to happen. They…

Mariah Carey: [“Just don’t get any better!”]

The resemblance is uncanny in more ways than one.
