NYC is NYC is NYC. There is no way a retailer can threaten to shut down its NYC location. Whereas they can threaten to shut down their location in random NJ suburb, lay everyone off, and reopen in adjacent suburb with all new employees (in fact, it’s much more difficult than this, but they threaten it anyway).

I don’t think the retail employees have a lot of power over whether their employer steals designs.

that’s cool

CEF also does something called “Backyard Clubs,” (or something similar - it’s been a long time) which is essentially the Good News Club curriculum repackaged for summertime gatherings in neighborhoods. For two years, I went to camp to receive indoctrination and training on the curriculum, and then taught clubs…

Hillary was a staunch Democrat by her sophomore year of college, organizing civil rights and anti-war protests.

She changed her mind as a teenager. FFS.

typical ambush journalism by the vile lib media smdh

I wrote “Nolite te bastardes carborundorum” under my desk before I left my last job. If you’re ever in the basement of the University of Arkansas, Fayetteville library, well, get out of there because it’s awful.

Such a great book. Really looking forward to this. One touch I found particularly ominous was the scene in the book where Offred goes to the minimart for a pack of cigarettes, and discovers that she can no longer use her debit card, because they have been cut off for all females overnight. The scene was completely…

Yep! And he tagged me in a picture of Pepe on Twitter — the fun is just getting started, I’m sure. (For the record, the A.V. Club and, I think, a few other sites blogged about this, but he only tagged me. Interesting!)

You’re right, we cannot possibly expose children to anthropomorphism.

Big fan of your Mom right now.

Incredulous. And barely able to breathe due to her rage that Hillary is only up by 5+.

I get it. Sounds wonderfully freeing to pat the doc on the hand and say “oh darling, I can’t be bothered with ANY of that.” Probably adds five years to your life.

I spoke about this to my friends last year. There are way too many of us out here who have been sexually assaulted. We don’t need to constantly see it in movies and shows. We get it. We fucking get it.

well yea that’s the point — if one of these two very different industries must require fingerprinting and licensing, then i wouldn’t pick strippers first

It’d be interesting to count how many times the Republicans have invoked their masculinity, specifically, as a means of garnering support for their ideas. It’s so common it goes unnoticed.

Read the book too. Everyone should read Colm Tóibín.

It was such a beautiful film, and a really nice representation of the experience of having to find your own way and grow into yourself in a new place. The part where Eilis is sailing back to New York and she’s able to give solid advice to a nervous first-time migrant made me cry like an idiot, because I’ve found…

Oh, I loved Brooklyn too. So many great films, and the Oscar will go to men grunting and rolling around in the snow.
