without saying what you learned 

Color me cynical, but how come these guys never do any “self-reflection,” or “listening and learning,” until they get caught? And bully for Lauer for being ready to “re-start his life.” Can’t help but wonder about how hard it’s been for the women who were his victims to “re-start” their own lives after being…

It’s revealing that such self-reflection never results in the conclusion that men who have spent careers harassing and bullying should not return to those careers.

I’m fairly convinced that she is consenting to the conservatorship at this point, unless she is much more ill than she appears to be, which seems unlikely. Bipolar disorder, especially manic episodes, can be really scary, and if it was something I experienced I would definitely want safeguards in place to protect my…

It’s not the heel hight in particular that’s the problem: it’s the rest of the shoe to which it’s attached.

Except that they tell you that pasteurized cheese is fine, and indeed a good thing to eat for your calcium and protein intake. And then you get something like this (a listeriosis outbreak in purportedly pasteurized cheese) that shows you it isn’t. The point is, as a pregnant woman you can’t zero out risk. You just…

Team stripper all the way. I mean fuck these assholes who think they can do and say anything just because the employee wears a fucking a g-string.

I’m so sorry that happened to you. Absolutely horrible and YES! I have 3 daughters and every time my husband or I hears, “Oh no you’re in trouble when the boys come! etc etc” My husband is like, “Dude...no...seriously.” I’m less polite.

After I was raped at 14, my mom also assured me that I was still “really a virgin” since I hadn’t chosen to have sex. I didn’t say anything at the time, but it pissed me off. I didn’t give a fuck about being a virgin or not, I’d never cared at all about it, I cared that this piece of shit had raped me. I knew his…

Right? I cringe when I think she thought her family wouldn’t want her back because she was no longer pure.

Everything I need to know about purity culture, I learned from Elizabeth Smart.

The crux of my argument was that traditional client-media/PR agency relationships have a) representation for pay where the client has a hand in the messaging, and b) mutually agreed upon and clearly defined KPIs.

She asked, as she has every right to do, and they made fun of her, as they have every right to do. If you want to point fingers at the internet for getting involved and harassing people, please do so, but I think it’s great to see places that need to pay their employees and bills with real, actual money, telling…

First rule of any endeavor: know your audience. I’m a black dude and I know Ireland (I lived there a few years, and still have family there). The Irish keep it real like that. She profits off spon-con, which is advertising disguised as reviews - so she deserves mockery. “I’ll give you great coverage if you give me a…

On the counterpoint, being paid to provide a review (and a free room is paid) eliminates any objectivity from the review, since if you trash a place in your review, you won’t get free rooms to review other places, so you are overly glowing.

Aw gee pal, sorry if my breast cancer got in the way of keeping up with a college in the midwest. I’ll try to do better. I am a former journalist and this is sloppy work, period.

Lemon is the best Starbust.

You’re just saying that because the green one is the female M&M, male M&Ms matter too. /s

Uhhh it sounds to me like Catherine realized what a nightmare her family was and peaced the fuck out a long time ago. #TeamCatherine.
