“And giving me $18,000 to spend when my stylists aren’t actual employees of mine, they’re actually subleasing,” Luther said. “So I wasn’t sure if I was even able to give them any of that money as employees because I don’t pay them.”

The cops here are totally open about their racism and super neglectful of serving nonwhite people. I work in a low-income, predominantly black area (Portland) and just yesterday my colleague and I were standing on the street in front of our agency, handing out boxed lunches, when a black guy came around the corner on…

While I’m super happy this show might get a treatment I’m also wary after watching Locke and Key. That show is solid but the decision to tone down a lot of the themes from the comic and make it more teen-appropriate was disappointing. If they do the same with Sweet Tooth that would be a fucking shame. The comic was so…

Got John a surprise tattoo as well. 

Who could have guessed that my suspicions about the real value of eye firming serum would be my armor during these trying times? 

That truly is a terrible haircut. $100 says she only gives "consultations" and then hands the client off to one of her subordinates. If that's the case I want to believe that this monstrosity is an act of civil disobedience on the part of the stylist who is being forced to go to work at a risk to their health and…

One of the first, if not the first, bands to be signed to Swan Song records which was the label created by the guys in Led Zepplin. Also, Ready for Love is my old-lady, sexy, slow jam.

I totally get it. I’m in KY and I’m completely confident that letters and calls to people like Rand Paul, or worse, McConnell, are a pointless exercise. The only way to win is to vote them out somehow because the people on that list care only for their own self-interest. They cannot be swayed or influenced unless…

Don’t forget his “let's stop gun violence by painting rocks” initiative.

Bevin was definitely the proto-trump. He was supported by Koch money and the GOP and would have never had a chance if people had actually voted. He’s not from KY and hasn’t the slightest interest in improving the lives of residents and instead focused on making the state some kind of neoliberal stronghold informed by…

I initially laughed at your comment and then let out the most giant, resigned sigh. Disney is always so far ahead of the curve creatively but at the end of the day it’s still a monster of a corporation. Huge and scary, but amazing to look at. 

Many many years ago, a coworker tried to convince me that the line “cut loose like a deuce” was actually “wrapped up like a deuce” and that the song was about a guy who needed to go poop before he went out to chase down his lady. She told me the song was “really dirty”. She also thought ouija boards were real.

Absolutely. I have my puggle because her original owners bought her from a breeder who swore that she was the perfect “hypo-allergenic” dog for their dander sensitive son. After a year of patch tests and repeated visits to the doctor for allergy shots they threw in the towel and put her on freecycle, which is how we…

Anyone outside of Kentucky nominating any elected official seems the equivalent of some remote Imperial garrison throwing their commanding officer up against the Emperor, or a grade school bully against Pinochet. Tragically, McConnell gives my home state the clear advantage here.

I’m imagining that this will actually be good for her career: “She fucked up and owned it”, “She’s unapologetically flawed”, “She’s the face of the modern woman who was willing to do any thing to achieve the work/life/mother balance and stay sexy doing it”. She’ll ride this bullshit to new heights, mark my words.

Yeah, I appreciate that his public admission might move the trans dialogue forward but this seems like the beginning of a dubious trend where cis men will expect safe spaces and hero labels when they “come forward” to say they're attracted to transwomen. Also the allegations from Ebony totally make Yoba’s statement…

My dad was the HR director for Long John Silver’s parent company in the 1970s/80s and on one occasion we got to go to the huge warehouse where all the LJS decor and furniture was stored. Painted wooden cutouts of pirates were stacked up in there and *enormous* coils of the hemp rope that decorated the outside of the…

Absolutely. I was a paramedic long ago and remember I guy having a sticker on his helmet saying “do not remove this helmet unless I’m in the ER."

It is, however the question can come up in pre-screening or the actual interview and like all questions with the “prefer not to say” option they can just draw whatever conclusion they like and not hire you. They just have to say you weren’t a good fit for the position. Managers choose not hire people for plenty of…

The Hot Brown - toast, turkey, bacon and sliced tomato layered in a skillet, topped with mornay sauce and cheese and browned under the broiler. Perfect salty, starchy drunk people food consumed by locals and lunimary visitors to Louisville for nearly a century. So fucking good.
