I did not know people misused penultimate this way. Man, that would get on my next-to-last nerve.

An acquaintance of mine (who makes her living as a writer) uses the word ‘mortified’ to mean ‘extremely angry’... which makes it all the more amusing.
I do think it is a truly plain good thing. I don’t feel cynically about what he did—he has a long history of philanthropy—and I am especially grateful that he’s been proactive and gone abroad to represent the vast majority of Americans who are against withdrawal.
It’s good to see at least one rich asshole isn’t just Putin on airs.
One of my favourite romance writers (really, one of my favourite writers, period), Courtney Milan, has books about the Victorian period that are fun and witty, with balls and romance, and pretty dresses...and at the same time she manages to show how awful the life was for everybody who was not rich, straight, white…
I never understood how people could think Jane Eyre was such a “romantic” story. He has his wife chained up in the attic. How was that supposed to help with her being “crazy?” How do we know Bertha’s crazy? We have only he and sideho’s word for that. And I hadn’t thought of JE in YEARS until I saw Taboo this spring,…
Yes! I agree 100 percent, and not just because of the stink. Everyone in my family knows exactly how much I loathe the bloody Victorians. The brutal repressiveness of this era toward anyone who wasn’t an upper class, white, cis, straight, Christian (Protestant), man was horrific (I’m mainly speaking of America but…
it’s almost like victorian times sucked and people should stop romanticizing it
It is ironic that her mom caved to pressure to give her a more “normal” name, probably so that she would have more options in life, when it turns out Rebel went into a profession where eccentricity is a boon and her normal name is now damaging her career.
Ok, as a Disney person, there is an apartment in Disneyland, called the Disney Dream Suite, that VIPs and Disney big-wigs can stay at, that does have all sorts of cool, magical things that happen like twinkling star lights over the bathtub and pictures that come to life. So it sounds like Rebel got to stay in the…
It just sounds like she was raised around eccentric people and that she’s a little eccentric herself (isn’t half of Hollywood?), still love the Rebz. And if her mom called her Rebel and everyone knew her as Rebel... who really cares what’s on her birth certificate?
She’s a pro pastry chef and a published cookbook author who has worked with a number of national brands (Kitchenaid, Disney, Ghirardelli) in the past. She’s not some rando—she’s someone who the Food Network should have just hired.

THEY SAID THEY WERE FIRING HER FOR A FALSE COMPLAINT IN THE STATEMENT.
“Tesla claimed at the time that they hired an independent investigator...”
The reaction is insane. Retaliation against someone who files a discrimination complaint is illegal even if the complaint is false, for the obvious reason that it could discourage people from bringing claims unless they have smoking gun evidence (and also because it doesn’t really relate to job performance). I’m…
The good news for Vandemeyden and Lawless is that Tessa has done their job for them and Vandemeyden should get enough from the lawsuit to never have to encounter a workplace, let alone workplace harassment again. But if ‘should’ mattered, this never would have happened. I hate everything.
He’s working with President Snowflake. He can go rot in a barn for all I care.
