“HR exists to protect the company, not you” is a crucial lesson that everyone needs to learn as early in their working lives as possible.

The best part about this feud is that everyone involved is, in their own way, a worthless scammer

Unironically, Overwatch needs some male fanservice skins. The obvious time and attention that was spent rendering Tracer and Widowmaker’s butts, as contrasted against the literal square butts of all the male characters (Hanzo has a victory pose where they flat out butcher his anatomy so that he doesn’t have a…

Trump is a terrible president not because he’s a celebrity or because he lacks political experience, but because he believes terrible things and puts those terrible beliefs into action, and because he is a spineless person whose will is easily bent by whoever is around him at a given moment (which is not the same…

Hot take: political experience is overrated and doesn’t actually matter, and a person’s values matter far more than how long they’ve been a politician

I still love that they have to label who Bebe Rexha is on the single cover. Rita finally found a pop singer who’s a bigger Who than she is.

Not a member of the Academy.

I have the reverse problem, where I can’t wear black without immediately and obviously grubbying it up. Like, usually I can get a few days out of a given pair of pants before I throw them in the wash, but my black pants only ever make it a day before they need to be cleaned.

I truly don’t care what Joy Reid posted on her blog a decade ago — I’m sure we all had some suspect opinions in 2005 that aren’t representative of the people we are now. But this cover-up story is truly bizarre, and shows an astounding lack of judgement on Reid’s part. Had she just given a generic “these views don’t…

Yeah, I rolled my eyes when American outlets covered Trudeau in 2015, and I’m rolling them even harder when they’re still using that same glossy-eyed coverage in 2018. He’s an empty suit with a handsome man inside it who rode daddy’s fame to power, nothing more.

It was fascinating to watch Ezra Klein realize on dozens of occasions that Paul Ryan behaves a grifter who acts in bad faith, without realizing that Ryan is a grifter who acts in bad faith.

I played this last night, and honestly didn’t enjoy it. It basically boils down to “whoever gets first pick wins,” which can feel very unsatisfying and futile when you solo queue.

I’m down. I respect that she’s refusing to keep her politics within the Democratic Party’s donor-approved, focus-tested limits. Which in and of itself speaks volumes about how the brand of politics that Cuomo represents has captured the Dems, and how an outsider is the only viable option if your goal is to change that.

The WFP drama has nothing to do with Nixon “attacking union workers,” and everything to do with union brass fearing that a Nixon endorsement will result in them losing access to Cuomo. Unions are cool and good, but union leadership is sadly often out-of-touch when it comes to partisan political maneuvering like this.

Easy, just make it two nerdy teenage gay boys making their dream man. Bing bang boom.

And your last question isn’t worth addressing.

Nixon has a demonstrable record of political action, a clear ideology, and actionable goals she wishes to accomplish.

Far right: wants to literally round up brown people and put them in gulags
Leftists: want to stop that from happening
You: “I cannot tell the difference”

I personally don’t think that only queer actors should play queer actors, but you have to take that arguement in a context where a) openly queer actors aren’t afforded nearly the same opportunities as straight (or closeted) actors are, and b) queer people should be able own stories in media without being forced to…

I thought Chalamet passed as a 17 year old, but Hammer reads as way older than 24, and honestly even older than the 29/30 that he actually was when he filmed the movie. And that does have the net effect of casting the romance in a completely different light.
