Shut up, Heather.

On the other hand, if they didn’t have a mother in jail and a dead father, how long do you think it would have been before this brain trust decided to get some views by using their kids in one of their stunts? I’d rather she were in jail for killing him than have both of them in jail for killing one of their kids.

I just got back from a very...rural...part of Tennessee. Confederate flags abound, as do bumper stickers and lawn signs in support of gun rights and Trump. Racial slurs were dropped in casual, friendly and otherwise polite conversation more than a couple of times during the week. But a good 20% of these people also…

This is why despite all the bullshit it’s really hard for me to leave tech. It’s one of the most generous industries in the US in terms of benefits - parental leave for all genders, regardless of biological birth or adoption, even surrogacy. Sick leave, leave to take care of sick family members, disability, etc. My…

I’d imagine it’s because they think the woman should work up until the point where she has her first kid, and then her job for the next 20-25 years is being mommy, a la the 1950's nuclear family ideal.

I thought the LDS Church was supposed to be all rah, rah, rah about families and having as many kids as possible to up their membership numbers. Not having any paid parental leave policies in place is pretty heartless and hypocritical, especially because men are supposed to be heavily engaged in fatherhood. If being a…

This. For the last...thousand years or so, white men have written the plays. And yes, while women and/or minorities have been in a handful (or gasp) even been the lead in some, most of them revolve around white men because they’ve had a pretty good head start on us when it comes to writing them. I work in theatre in…

I know the history of theater, but it always struck me as weird how so many plays and musicals have majority male roles. At least when I was in theater, there seemed to be a lot more women involved. I know that probably is true in non-professional theater, but there just always seemed to be more of us. So why no…

Sounds about right. My coworker is a part time contributor at StoryCorps (and had his story featured) and they seem to have little listening capacity or loyalty toward their employees. The recent unionization drives in journalism and media is a beautiful flame in cavernous darkness.

Both sides being charter schools are both a money laundering scam and also they’re part of a concerted effort to undermine public education. There is no good side to them

Where is the fair and balanced reporting on Charles Manson?! What about his side?

Well, that’s the thing with liberals. A liberal will say, “we should do it this way, although I appreciate that the other side has a different perspective that has some value to it.” A conservative will say, “we should do it this way, and the other side needs to be run out of town.”

The response by the company - talk to the employees and tell why unions are not the way to go.. is an old anti-union tactic that is still sold/presented to corporations by anti-union companies that sell their wares to HR departments all across corp america. It’s the oldest in the book. Tell why you’re so great and…

Well obviously. We can hope though. Would be nice to see Americans rekindle that Union spirit that led to such a good run of prosperity... or at least help curb the trampling of employees that seems to be pretty common now.

I actually am a mermaid for events! We swim around the pool, do silly tricks, surprise children when we take the tails off. There isn’t a school in our area so all our mermaids are self trained and we take our tails to the gym!

Not only is it making money, it’s head and shoulders ahead of every DC Extended Universe film on both Rotten Tomatoes and Metacritic.

Thank you, came here for this.

I mean, stupid people like everything. So why wouldn’t they like good stuff? I find it hilarious when people act like good artists get “tainted” by being liked by the plebes and therefore need to be dismissed.

It’s probably because he’s too mainstream... you know what these cool kids are like.
