Before we all have to wear body cams, we need a group of female engineers to develop the equivalent of a body whoopie cushion that women can wear, something pocket-size that delivers a shock akin to a stun gun but that allows deniability. Then we can “buzz” back and if they ever dare to report it, we can say, “I don’t

This doesn’t surprise me. I’ve worked for two bosses who seem exactly like Whaley in their rabid, foaming at the mouth need for control and punishment. Actually, three, but only two were religious. The other one was merely a bigot who selectively punished, but “fun” - that is, other people having any - was definitely

I don’t know; I wouldn’t discount some form of surveillance. The polygamist groups in southern Utah seem to manage that with a similar set of prohibitions and consequences.

And that is not intended to be ageist; I would not be able to read it. It’s the bad choice of a graphic designer and everyone who approved the card without thinking about the purposes it had to serve.

If we take another look at the video, the category is in tiny type at the bottom in a light gold font. Ten bucks says neither Faye nor Warren could read that without reading glasses.

Exactly. He acted like a guy who can get a movie made in the extreme dysfunction that is Hollywood. And I think his statements since have shown class - not blaming, all the spotlight on Moonlight, and his happiness for a fellow producer who had an even bigger hill to climb to get a movie made.

Interesting.

I believe they couldn’t read the category because the card’s lettering is too faint; it is only darker for the names. 

My theory is that neither Warren nor Faye can read without their reading glasses, but didn’t want to wear them on camera - didn’t think they’d need them. Theirs was the penultimate category, and they thought they’d be able to read the name of the movie without trouble (one main word) on camera. Warren was trying to

I got the impression that it was part of her trying to be more Upper East Side Drew, and it had a certain sweetness but it didn’t really seem to fit - and we know how that whole “I’m taming it down” thing worked out. Some of Chanel on the carpet tonight is truly hideous. I swear it’s a deliberate misogyny.

It’s a management technique 101. It is a debate strategy of accusing the other side of the thing they accused you of (with evidence on their side) because the talking point is already “in the air.” So you confuse your more dim-witted listeners as to the source of the original claim. You own it and turn it. I’m

Exactly. If it was, Zuckerberg wouldn’t be trying to ethnically cleanse the Bay Area of Latino people and all non-techies while importing unneeded engineers. His “listening tour” is revolting to all the people who have lost their housing and livelihoods thanks to his deliberate refusal to build housing for all his

They already have Mugabe’s vote of confidence. What more endorsement could a dictator ask for?

Yep, just like Betsy belongs to an organization with a flat-out goal of eliminating public schools. They want a return to serfdom, with the billionaires owning everything and everyone else desperate for survival, sufficient to slave for them and purchase gruel at the company store.

I would like them to put Trump’s false claims into a column of its own, and not give it top billing. I hate Joe Scarborough but he and Mika have the right idea: anyone who can’t tell the truth doesn’t even get a chance to tell their lie. By repeating and repeating Trump’s claims, even coupling them with “Trump falsely

If they really wanted to hurt him, they could quit giving him top of the fold, left-hand corner every fucking morning. His ego would object within 24 hours. They need to just quit lapping up his outrage and his phony camera-ready stageshow and cover the crap he’s doing behind the scenes. Preferably below the fold

It’s come to where, every time Trump causes a dust-up with the media, I need to know what ELSE is going down on Capitol Hill. While we should be legitimately concerned that he’s dissing the press to his supporters, I’m more concerned that he’s continually wagging the dog. While we’re all focusing on what he wants us

I agree that predators look carefully for girls with parents who aren’t going to cause as much trouble (often, less well-heeled parents who are grateful for a scholarship or the free medical care their child is receiving). It’s notable that he didn’t seem to pick on the “stars” of the gym but the girls trying hard to

Why make it up? Because there’s now a campaign to undermine Meryl Streep and make her look bad. Everyone who speaks out against the jackbooters are made to pay.

Lagerfeld is an elitist skeleton and Chanel has been making young actresses look matronly for some time now. (Sorry, who but Lagerfeld could make the divine Drew Barrymore look awful on her wedding day?)
