I should have invented the glue that keeps suspenders, sorry, boob straps, in place. That just can’t be comfortable.

So why is Mr.Pitt still working with Tarantino?

Except they sort of did. They weren’t called suburbs, of course, but until the 20th century cities were where the poor lived and the rich held certain areas like the Upper East Side on NYC. British royalty lived in St. James Palace then moved to Buckingham Palace which wasn’t in London proper, but a grassy marshland…

Bernie’s statement on housing is exactly why he shouldn’t be president. He conflates the banking industry’s policies of redlining with zoning. They were two different things, related only by the fact that they had to do with housing.

Remember, Celine Dion was 12 when 38 year old Rene “discovered” her. She said they didn’t have sex until she was 18.

I highly recommend Katherine Ryan’s The Glitter Room comedy special. She has a terrific take on old old men “mentoring” young girls stuff.

I’ve seen the singular “xe” proununced “zhe”which I like. It doesn’t add plural confusion and is distinct.

That is simply not true. Aside from the Russian interference, Bernie Bros, and the entire media crap about “likeability” HRC made mistakes, but not the sort that should have made anyone either choose Trump or not vote.

Self awareness isn’t a measure of behavior. Rapists, like Brock Turner, who don’t think of themselves as rapists are, in fact, rapists. “I was joking” is an excuse, not a statement of fact. This is someone “joking”:

She compared the board of Planned Parenthood to the Trump administration. That tell you how her approach was wrong. She thinks in hyperbole and abstractions, the kind of management that at once demands everyone accommodate her tactics while being unclear about what those tactics are.

What does that even mean?! Intent is not the issue. Racists don’t “intend” to see black people as less than human, they just do. People who harass others believe they have a right to do so because they and their actions are somehow in a sacred context that overrides all others.

Our CA state Senator Scott Wiener, turned a bill about extending bar hours into an “affordable housing” bill that calls servants quarters affordable housing, gave mansions like Mark Zuckerberg’s compound a high density variance because some of the staff lives on the site, and considers the private coaches aka “tech…

Agism isn’t helpful. That said, even the most active 80 year old is losing stamina. Becoming POTUS at that age would be physically draining to the point that it would be impossible to do the job.

I loathe the LED bulbs. First of all, the cheap ones are often highly toxic, so disposal is a serious issue.

Paywalls are there so the news organizations can pay their employees. Information isn’t free, it takes a lot of people to find, communicate, then distribute it. We all should be paid for our work and pay for what we use.

It is not just the cost of the wine. There are costs of stocking and storing it, of the servers and bartenders, of inventory control, of renting the restaurant space, of utilities. Remember, storage space has to be accounted for as an expense, not as part of the income making areas of the bar and the dining room.

There is a deceptive simplicity in our discussion of sex work. Placing it solely in the context of personal choice and capitalism denies the larger context of both those things. Capitalism provides the illusion of choice by presenting products and services as a sign of freedom. Using the body as a product denies the…

He sold out the teachers and the school system, he sold out the public health system, and he had the gall to stand in the flood waters and claim to be helping people when the reason Newark flooded was because he’d cut off planning for rising river waters and segregated funds for emergency services away from the most…

Corporate word salad had overtaken business writing. The style and techniques are: use of “we” to mean no one in particular, sub-clauses that muddy an already unclear sentence, a weird passive first person voice, endless single sentence paragraphs. It’s all the MBA guidebook on how to not do anything, not take…

My mother would say the same thing, but she would be mean and cruel for the rest of her “fallen” daughter’s life.
