"Because the amount of money people have is rarely correlated with...anything but the amount of money they were born into."

Doesn't the FT itself have quite a good reputation for looking after the interests of female journalists?

Hope the young ladies don't have any madrassas on their schedule this year!

No-one? Really?

Hmm... trying to think of something less intimidating than a mob of angry Reddit users....

Yup — the NYT had a good note on this yesterday. The expansion of "Best Picture" was supposed to make room for more populist choices... but instead the extra space is getting absorbed by more arty/twee/niche films.

Uh-huh. Your point would have been far more confidently made if you'd included a mention of him in the first place. As it stands, it continues a pattern here of Latinos/Hispanics getting slotted into the non-POC category if it better serves the writer's needs.

Free drinks and single women?! Sounds awesome. We're just gonna wrap up a casserole dish (or maybe a volleyball?), and we'll be there early.

If she wants to be an artist only, super — there's any number of local and regional theaters that will book her from now 'til the end of time.

"Promotion takes her time and effort and money..."

Unreal, right? The construction of that whole passage assumes NOP is whistle-clean, when she did a longish interview w/an ex-NOP guy which implied quite the opposite.

"... trains with Alberto Salazar and the Nike Oregon Project, known for their innovative training techniques..."

Damn, what a great photo of you two.

I think the analogy to US courts may be a bit inexact here, since this was a civil case where the plantiffs' withdrew after acknowledging that evidence meeting the relevant legal standard couldn't be obtained.

It's a pretty good way to stress-test a prom dress, really.

Ah, but the SI swimsuit-model standard is not so much "sexy enough" as "so sexy you'd crawl across five yards of broken glass just to get her a drink." It's like the 99.99th%-ile of desirability.

Hard to think of any group that's more despised than politicians, or trusted less.

I do, actually — but I'm a little more easy-going about lyrics than some.
