• Most days, at around 3 PM, Bruce Springsteen can be found at the same Manhattan bar, drinking a glass of red wine in solitude. [Page Six]

Poor Bruce...so much for enjoying his glass of wine in peace, thanks Page Six.

Holy........!! Yeah, something is amiss here:/

Totally. From what I am understanding every member of congress is its own “business” and they set up their own structures. Which leads to no actual outlet to report shit and a completely wild west approach to management. How does a poor intern report anything when the boss is the offender?

Just heard this from my friend who once worked around John Conyers as a staffer for another senator- indeed a total sexist creep. His deal apparently was more the old-fashioned sexist BS of making all of his staffers wear high heels and skirts to work. One young woman showed up for her first day of work in pants/flats…

For the record:

• Here’s a super coherent speech on tax reform from our president. [Twitter]

Am I the only one stunned that a bill had to be introduced to get congress to attend sexual harassment training? FFS, every year I have 8 compliance courses to complete (sexual harassment, money laundering, etc.).

Washington (CNN)President Donald Trump has continued to question the legitimacy of former President Barack Obama’s birth certificate during private conversations in recent months, The New York Times reported, citing advisers who discussed Trump’s statements.

Generational note.

Funny how so many apologists keep parroting on about “why didn’t these women say anything sooner?”, and apart from the fact that there are a million valid reasons that most victims don’t come forward at the time, there’s also the fact that actually a lot of them did and were utterly ignored because no one gave a shit…

I heard the president did some thoughtful retweeting today!

It’s actually not that rare as safety measures go but anyone inside the office can override the lock by unlocking and opening the door. It sure as hell would be unsettling to hear a door lock behind you while a creep comes on to you, though.

I checked the dates in a panic but it looks like I booked for December 16, I feel so lucky right now! Would not love to be stuck away from home for Christmas. Hope everything works out with you... You could always tie hundreds of balloons to a chair and hope for the best.

Same! I’ve never flown american before in my LIFE, this is a trip I’m extremely looking forward to, and I am piiiiiissed. I hope they work this out!

I would SO love to watch a version of Little Women where the March family is Black. Mr. March choosing to be an Army chaplain in the war would be so much more powerful. I feel like Jo would be dark-skinned, while Amy tries passing for white while she’s in Europe. It would be so fascinating.

Yesterday, that photo was the expression of an empty, vain dude who’s out for himself and doesn’t really care about what this lady is saying to him because that’s what we knew to be true about Lauer.

Gross. I’m now imagining the awful and rapey scene from the old movie Pillow Talk where the man has a button that locks the door, starts the record player, and unfolds a convertible sofa.

I cannot imagine a clearer line in the sand for companies to follow than “Hey, don’t let anyone install secret DOOR LOCK BUTTONS under their desks, it’s such a bad look.”

General rule: if something you do can be compared fairly to something Ted Bundy did, stop doing that thing.
