How about not being a douchebag in the first place by forcing someone who detests horror movies to watch them with you? If you’re such a big man, watch them by yourself or with your bros. There’s lots of reasons people hate horror movies, and calling people “weenie”, “candy ass” or “scaredy cat” is not going to make…

Rather rude headline, don’t you think, for a 5 year old going to school on his first day? Condescends? Perhaps when he’s 21 and drinking at a commoner’s pub that would be appropriate. Also not sure that this is a “prep school”, although the names for things in the UK differ from the US. Prep school here is…

Right there with you.

Definitely not Tom Cruise’s butt. I met him over 30 years ago right after Top Gun came out. He was at Laguna Seca raceway with Paul Newman when Paul was still racing with Team Nissan. Tom was doing research for Days of Thunder, and had just finished filming Color of Money with Newman.

The Hallmark Channel is the modern day equivalent of reading Harlequin romance novels. I partake about monthly, usually for a full Saturday when it’s been an especially rough week. Very restorative for cleaning out my brain.

There’s video on CNN of a group of Trump supporters who have convinced themselves that BLM bussed in a bunch of people, and they got off the bus wearing BLM and KKK t-shirts. I didn’t see anyone wearing KKK t-shirts, did you? Just a lot of those plain white polos and khakis. Those folks are determined to believe it…

Guess what? We can do ALL these things and STILL enjoy delicious desserts whenever we want to.

You’d be surprised how many companies will use their “small talk” receptionists or others to gather such information to make hiring decisions. Happens all the time. Also nearly impossible to prove in court for a discrimination case.

Making hiring decisions on the basis of discriminatory factors is illegal. Sometimes the employer comes to know those discriminatory factors through asking questions. You’d be hard pressed to hear the questions they asked and not be able to make a decent legal case out of it. They’ll get sued, they’ll settle out of…

I had an interviewer ask me an outright illegal set of questions in an interview for their first ever HR position. I told him his questions were illegal, that the company could easily be sued for asking such questions, and that was exactly why I was the best person for the job. I told him my first task would be…

It sounds like Slate hired a typical anti-union law firm to advise them during the campaign, and they’re spouting the same talking points that have been used against organizing workers for 100 years. The media might be new, but the arguments are very very old.

Well no shit. My daughter wasn’t diagnosed until she was 18, because no one at the school or therapists offices saw it or suggested it. They focused on the symptoms of boys instead. This resulted in my brilliant daughter being convinced she’s “broken” because she can’t “do school” like other kids. It’s affected every…

Alex Jones- TL:DR

Dumbest fucking decision they’ve made yet. Tom Perez, get your nose out of Bernie’s ass and start paying attention. Women voters are not to be trifled with, and we’re roaring angry already. Continue with this nonsense at your peril.

If they’d stop making the commercials being so damned BLARING LOUD, I might be more inclined to watch them instead of making efforts to record stuff and speed through them. It’s so damned annoying.

HA! I’m so old, I shopped at the Gunne Sax outlet in SFO when I got married... the first time.

Kara, you have made me look forward to Shade Court Fridays since you began writing it. You’re a great writer, and I will miss you and your big brain here every single day. I wish you the best in your new endeavors, because you’re going to have to spend a LOT of time kicking a lot of LA bro-boy writer asses in order…

StoryCorps has clearly hired one of the big anti-union organizing law firms to advise them on how to shut down this organizing drive. They’re the ones running the show now, and management is doing their bidding. This will soon include coming up with a paper trail on the biggest “troublemakers” in order to terminate…

Seriously, British Airways, KLM, and Air France, get your act together. Stop with this third world country attitude and get on board.

We did this at PDX for my mom last summer. She came in with me for my already-scheduled appointment, and they took her in right after me. Easy peasy. Global entry is a lifesaver, I highly recommend it.
