A lot of orchestras hold “blind auditions”: hopefuls play behind a screen, with the process arranged so that no hint of their gender presentation or race reaches the panel. These orchestras suddenly found themselves hiring people other than white men - even though they’d honestly believed they hired on merit alone.

One thing that continually bugs is the way press will ask Ava duvernay or Ryan Coogler or other black and female directors about diversity in hiring and casting. Why are you asking the people who are doing the work? Why not ask Wes Anderson, sofia coppola, the cohen brothers, and so many others about why they can’t…

Just adding my 0.02 before reading the whole article...

The President’s mature and dignified response involved calling the perpetrators of the bombing “losers”. Because in the face of a tragedy, you always want to hear the leader of the free world using playground taunts.

I cannot tell you how many middle aged men I see in “Bazinga!” shirt at Heroes Con every year. And no, they’re not dealers trying to capitulate to attendees. It’s sad.

If he was as smart as Frank he never would have found himself in the Speaker’s position in the first place.

He’s not smart enough. He’s one of those guys like the GQ models who aren’t really doctors, just play them on tv.

If this is the universe attempting to balance itself out after putting Ailes in a fucking coffin, I’ll take it.

Yeah, and I’m kind of done with shows that implicitly (or explicitly) make fun of/harass people who are smart. Like, not every good scientist or smart person is a condescending elitist asshole, a savant, and/or completely socially inept. WE GET IT, YOU LOVE TO MAKE FUN OF NERDS.
