If they had such high standards why did they hire him in the first place? These tweets came to light over 5 years ago when he was hired and he apologized then.

Nanette hit me like a ton of bricks. I present now as a nice fat white housewife from the burbs, but that’s a choice I’m actively making for me and my family’s safety. The reality is that I’m a zebra-ass weirdo: a bisexual, masculine of center, intersex mom.

I read that differently, with “appeal” in this context meaning “make a serious or urgent request” not “the quality of being attractive or interesting.” Appeal used as a verb, not a noun. 

Definitely not. But it did provide several moments where I could see a light bulb of recognition and awareness happen in my spouse that hadn't occurred before which is a plus. But no I don't believe it's calculated to appeal to men she just took in consideration of men being part of her audience. 

I laughed very very hard. Repeatedly. I also cried. If you are also capable of a wide range of emotions you may enjoy it.

The success of Gadsby’s comedy special is her calculated appeal to men.

If you haven’t seen Nanette, do so immediately. It’s not easy watching, nor should it be given what she talks about, but it is fucking incredible. I had literal goosebumps and cried during the final bit where she returns to her bus stop story and I’ve been thinking about it, and her, since I watched it. I’ll have to…

Oh no, we looked way less cool than this.

The FEMA story is way grosser.  He hired his friends and frat brothers.  Then he hired women he met at bars and on tinder and specifically matched them to positions as like blind date/sex couplings.  

There’s so much to unpack from the Pro-Liars new pro-lie strategy, which is basically: every pregnancy is truly planned and perfect; every woman is healthy enough to withstand pregnancy and childbirth; every fetus is healthy; US maternal death rates aren’t alarmingly high; woman = mother and no more than that,…

Yeah, I really don’t get the point of the article when it seems to have been rather easy to turn up without buying the book and see what was going on.

“I have greatly enjoyed working collaboratively with so many extraordinarily devoted and competent people,”

The jerks in my office were talking about this on Friday, moaning and groaning about how “welfare queens” don’t have to work, and how “wouldn’t it be nice it must be” to live off of someone else’s tax dollars. Then it devolved into the cliche stories about how they’ve all TOTALLY seen tons of people with EBT cards…

I’m having a hard time shrugging off the anger.  He’s such an asshole.  It fuels my trip to the gym every morning.

My life as a scientist, in a nutshell.

Never let perfect be the enemy of better.

Europe was in turmoil in the 1960s. The protests and riots the U.S. experienced were nothing compared to the rage that was happening in the streets of Europe, mostly by various ideological factions fighting each other AND the government.

When the EU starts violating human rights by kidnapping children of immigrants, then you can criticize how they’re handling the migrant crisis.

Absolutely my experience. Didn’t believe this was possible, didn’t believe enough of us were this downright dumb, have spent 20 months furious at everyone for it. My dad, who’s been drinking more and more Fox News Kool Aid since the turn of the millennium. My girl’s uncle gleefully holding up an Anthony Weiner…

Looking over restaurant policy, they have a policy of asking for credit card or cash to secure a tab after 9pm. It is on the online menu and probably on the physical one as well. Given the amount of dine and dashing I’ve known about in that particular area of KC, this is not a surprising policy.
