She’s the defacto “first lady”. (Melania’s job is “hausfrau”).

Good on her. Personal drive and love of performing aside, one of the benefits of extreme wealth is that you can say “fuck it” and NOT have to go to work if you’re massively pregnant. (Spoken by one who was massively pregnant and still had to show up for work two days before delivery because I was the one carrying…

They were warned. It was explained to them. Still, they persisted.

It’s so bad. She spells out the sexist manager’s logic in the full blog. Apparently he got a discount by buying the mens’ jackets in bulk, and from this fact he drew the conclusion that buying the jackets for the women would be unfair to the men because he would have to spend more money on the women then on the men,…

as a lawyer who is usually on the defense side of employment discrimination suits, and who also thinks that sometimes people are just assholes and it’s not about gender/race/whatever: GIRL SUE THEM.

I’m calling it now there is gonna be a tech bubble burst and Uber is gonna be the next Pets.com

Ok you all: I have a problem. I really have not been able to do anything else except surf the news since the election. Some people I know have decided to shut it out (one told me yesterday that the “news isnt gonna get better for four years” so I might as well tune out and save myself the heartache) but I can’t do it.…

I’ve had men try to order for me before, and I hate it. It’s one thing for my husband to order something for me because I communicated to him what I wanted, and loathe speaking to people, and fail at social interaction, and, holy shit, how do I eye contact?; but assholes who do this without prompting and to show that…

I think it a very weird and twisted way, it was intended as a complement. It was to create a bizarre sense of intimacy “you and I are going to have the meatloaf.” Sort of like a guy ordering for his date, both a show of power and a show of intimacy. Perhaps he remembered Christie saying he loved Meatloaf, and…

Do you remember in Harry Potter when Voldemort was being really super mean to the Malfoy’s and you were like, “sucks to be y’all. Prolly shouldn’t have hung out with wizard Nazis.”

One has to wonder how the White House chef feels about making anything at all for 45 and his guests to eat.

Hey you unmotivated non-voters and anti-Hillary protest voters, still feeling so fucking self-righteous? If you think we’re gonna last long enough to have that Susan Sarandon advertised “revolution” at the ballot box, then have I got a bridge to Russia to sell to you!

I was just watching that! That idiot had the nerve to say that they were spying on a private citizen. Flynn was the head of dia...you’d think he’d know that intelligence officials routinely intercept all communications with Russian ambassadors. The mental gymnastics that trump supporters are going through is…

I think it’s becoming more and more clear that Trump colluded with the Russians to throw the election in return for him lifting sanctions on Russia for invading Ukraine (and whatever else they do in the future).

I love how trumps only defense is: “these leaks are illegal!” Meanwhile during the campaign he said he loved Wikileaks and begged Russia to hack Hillary’s emails. Karma is a bitch.

Just FYI, the other Yale college being named after a woman, the thoroughly badass Pauli Murray, isn’t being renamed, its one of the two new residential colleges opening on campus soon. To my knowledge, Calhoun is the only college to ever be renamed since they were first built in the 1930's.

What’s your alternative scenario? Don’t do it and still have the same problems?

This is good news. I am really happy about this.

That is so awesome. I love this picture of her:

Grace Hopper was a truly remarkable individual, and this is a long overdue step towards giving her the sort of recognition she truly deserves. She was a gifted pioneer in computer science, being instrumental to the creation of COBOL, one of the very first high level programming languages. Without her, we basically…
