That is amazing!

I read this article on Atom Egoyan once. As a teen he’d worked for the Victoria’s Empress Hotel, and many years later as a famous film director he used it as a movie set. The manager found out Egoyan used to work there and as a gift had an employee name tag made for him. And he wore it.

Many years ago we lived near a small tourist town in Muskoka where Goldie Hawn and Kurt Russell owned a summer home. One day we were in the general store when we heard singing. We looked outside and there were three men, dressed identically (white tees and jean), walking down the middle of the road and singing at the…

I know someone who was raped by a stranger in a public bathroom at the age of 12. This is sickening.

No one is disputing that.

Right! My friend wanted to marry her boyfriend, but he was reluctant; he was committed to her, just was leery of the actual I-do part. It seemed to be more not wanting a wedding than not wanting a marriage though. It was important to her to be married (she has children from a previous marriage and wanted to formalize…

Last year I witnessed a public marriage proposal from a man whose speech included that he and the proposee were planning their wedding at __ exotic locale on __ date. He proposed to a woman who had already planned their wedding, and looked really uncomfortable and kept apologizing for disturbing everyone. I got the…

I’ve read that, within the same social/economic class, crime rates are higher for white people than black. Which does make sense given that, as others have said here, it’s easier for them to get away with it.

This, exactly this. A sense of entitlement.

Many years ago now my province had a program where you could report someone you suspected of cheating on welfare, to catch all of the millionaires abusing the program I assume. They shut it down because surprise, there just weren’t that many people doing it. Now, if they went after people cheating on their income…

They still do it here, though there’s calls to change it after a gas bar attendant was killed trying to stop someone from driving off without paying. A recent immigrant who came here looking for a better life, lost her job as an engineer due to economic downturn & had to take this job to make ends meet, then run over…

I have no idea what the statistics on this are (if there are any) but I would have thought that black people would be LESS likely to dine and dash than white people. One of the many things white people can get away with easier than others.

Where did I read this, was it on Jezebel or somewhere else? Someone pointed out that the characters in the original cartoon were WOMEN, adults with responsibilities. They managed not just their own band but a whole recording company AND an orphanage. But in the reinvention they’re teenagers. The fantasy being…

Ug, I shouldn’t be surprised. Many years ago the Steelworkers were dealing with a member with an intellectual disability whose family discovered he was getting far paid less than the other workers. The company argued that it was because his disability meant he couldn’t do the same level of work the others did. The…

That’s the “Nobel Peace Prize winning human rights group” to you.

To clarify: we don’t elect our Prime Minister directly like Americans directly elect their President. Each riding has candidates from each party in it (okay, some parties don’t run in each riding and some candidates aren’t in a party, but almost every time each candidate represents a party). You vote for the candidate…

Amy Sherman-Palladino said that Rory is based on herself as a teenager. The very definition of a Mary Sue.

Unless we’re told otherwise I will always believe that the last line will confirm that Lorelai’s dream about having twins with Luke was actually a prophecy.

I only want to see Lane if she’s doing something other than being a stay-at-home mom. Not because there’s something wrong with choosing that, but because she DIDN’T and that’s why it sucked so hard.

Luke!
