My kid participated this year and they did quite a lot of things to modernize and improve the cookie program (which I DREAD). We hung door knockers in our neighborhood since my husband and I were both home and couldn’t bug colleagues at work where there is some stuff competition with other coworkers. Daughter had a…

Don’t tell anyone, but a significant portion of sales (oh, let’s say 15 million/200 million) comes from parents taking the sign-up sheets to work, either with or without a child in tow, to let coworkers get a crack at buying the cookies without being accosted by strange children outside the grocery store. That didn’t…

And people just leap to defend them, as though the performances they put out are worth it. That’s nonsense of course, given that there are plenty of actors, as evidenced right here by Meryl Streep, who manage to do stellar work without behaving in insane, unreasonable, and outright abusive ways on set. She has put out…

Don’t forget Daniel Day Lewis!!!

Thanks to Jared Leto and Jim Carrey, I now assume method acting is an excuse to act like a raging asshole to your costars.

I was (and still am) a massive fan of the first album. Melodrama had some ok tracks but I think I listened to it 2 or 3 times and never went back. This... is so boring. I didn’t even see the video, I first heard the track on spotify, and immediately thought of hippies and that time period when driving vans to the…

This......is not a good song. I’m sorry, but that’s just how I feel about it. I don’t really know what Lorde is trying to do with this, it’s just such a radical departure into the mundane and boring. I don’t have high hopes for the rest of the album after this.

I’m scared. I want sad Lorde

What’s your point?

It was not behind closed doors. He was at work. Virtually, yes. But, At Work. The double standard is ridiculous. Women have been fired, punished and shamed for breast feeding, showing cleavage, wearing the wrong length of skirts/dresses, accidentally “revealing” they do in fact menstruate, runs in their hosiery…

I mean, I think their own shitty perspectives were what opened them up to “harassment and wide-spread hate”. Improving the lives of people working in the construction industry is a great thing, but making life worse for women spending time in public isn’t the way to do it.

My partner is a lawyer and works for one of the biggest commercial landlords in the Greater Toronto Area. They are amazed that these bozos, 1) think they have even a chance at winning the suit because Fritz’s post was a comment on publicly made/available comments, and 2) don’t have the sense to see that no developer…

I know nothing about this controversy, but I think this guy is too tall for his desk. He looks uncomfortable.

Remember when Bush had a shoe thrown at him?  Good times.

Thanks for pointing out the problem with The Beauty Myth again, by the way. It bears repeating. I remember reading the book when it came out and feeling uncomfortable, then realizing that there were some really good ideas that were very badly supported. It sat uncomfortably then; now it’s just a reminder that we need…

John Doyle is a jackass critic for the Globe & Mail who is always saying obnoxious things. This include referring to Dan Levy as fey (a homophobic slur) and this article about the end of Kim’s Convenience, where he basically called Simu Liu ungrateful. 

I am shocked! (not shocked) that the husband on the tiger mom is an awful person. the two of them creep me out SO much. ugh.

It’s nothing new. Standard cognitive dissonance, based around a fragile core identity. When your whole self-image is sunk into being the smart, unique individual who sees things the sheeple can’t, you reject any pesky thoughts that conflict with that self-image. 

Yeah but can Fauci prove he’s *not* Satan? And vise versa ipso facto e pluribus unum? Check and mate!

Not only is this bat shit insane but completely impossible. What’s Wolf’s plan here, to separate the vaccinated from the rest of the population and give them an open trench to piss in? Jesus, she’s fucking nuts.
