How much is honestly just speed of service here? I’ve seen plenty of overly busy Chik fil As in my time, and not once has that line spilled into the street. In urban areas, they build their drive through footprint to include multiple lines to reduce vehicle clog, and will even have employees taking orders via tablet…

That’s what the Culver’s footprint accounts for in the Midwest- you order, then pay, and are given a number and a slot to wait in while your order is prepared.

So be honest: Do you just frame your editorial calendar off of a Vulture newsfeed? Because welcome to yet another poor regurgitation of a far better article trending on another site the day before.

Dickson refers to Richard Dickson, the COO of Mattel Corporation. Mattel Films was at odds with Mattel as a whole (aka the toys and where "Dickson" was concerned about the film potentially tarnishing brand integrity) over the script, as they had difficulties understanding the nuance of the delivery until it was…

I blame Harry’s mother for not wearing a seatbelt. No one would give a damn about these two if “dead mom” wasn’t the go-to angle. Granted, a Diana with access to social media and streaming services could be its own unique blend of the banal and terrifying.

Sue me, I want at least one female playable party member- not some love interest destined to die, not a sick maiden, but a character that has battle and story functionality. FF is becoming this weird “angsty 19 year old boy hits things” franchise, and it’s upsetting to see other Japanese franchises like Persona, Fire…

I wouldn’t be so confident. These people will eventually elect anything with an R next to their name. For all of the posturing of the Romneys, Murkowskis, et al, they ALL vote straight ticket and you know it. They'd vote for Ron too if they had to.

You jest, but 13 year old Rizzo already made an appearance along with a 13 year old Frenchie and however old Danny is supposed to be.

“Inspiration can also come from people’s actual lives: from people’s experiences, from their relationships, from people or places or events which had an impact on them. It can come from the culture they live in or from simply observing nature or other people.”

I’m reminded of a KS state legistlator’s son who was decapitated on Verrückt- the world’s tallest waterslide. The slide was built in KS specifically because the state legislature had reduced safety and testing requirements. The Waterpark had a family day for reps and their families, and the result was irony in its…

My guess is she wants to take credit for the trade that was likely already going to happen and ride the fame train to selling her body on an even grander scale (and/or pick up a nice NBA boyfriend and transition into the influencer realm). As you said, the guy isn’t exactly a pinnacle of reliability. He's explosive,…

The Pelicans were having talks about trading him WAY before this dropped. The guy’s only clocked 114 games- only 37% of what he could have played. He’s either injured, out of shape or both constantly and NOLA has questioned if he was worth that 100 mil price tag more than once. They also REALLY want a better 1st…

Jon executes a child for treason and murders his aunt/ lover (a frequent victim of sexual assault) in a moment of intimacy. Sansa feeds her husband to his dogs. Arya butchers an entire family, bakes them into pies and feeds them to their father. Stannis burns his daughter alive. Jaime SAs his sister next to their dead…

Disney has done this for decades at 50s Prime Time as well, though they allow you to tell the host if you don’t want to play along so the staff leaves you alone.

Thank GOD someone finally gave ::checks notes:: Serena Williams, Mariah Carey, Mindy Kaling and Paris Hilton a forum to talk about themselves- truly they are the silenced minority. Maybe Serena can talk about tennis and racism and her sister because I don’t think she’s ever done that before! Revolutionary content,…

Clinton was being KIND: It's way more than half of them.

That's because it IS victim blaming, sweaty. "Why didn't she scream?" "Why didn't she fight and scratch?" That’s the same as saying "why did she wear those clothes" or "Why did she have a drink before that meet and greet" and you know it.

Agreed. The team I lead deals in CX, so we’re always researching plain English/ readability and how that intersects with inclusive language. Your goal is to communicate your point while ensuring that your audience is included, but not distracted by jargon.

Open letter to Jezebel for yet again failing to deep dive:

They weren’t- they specifically called out the industry and technology, and well yes, the US actually DOES have the best medical care in the world and operates a robust, profitable industry full of personal choice in treatment. And yes, I have spent a significant portion of my career engaging with professionals that…
