If your employer openly advertises that it’s going to work you harder, it should probably pay you higher wages.

I couldn’t believe how whale the seal sang in tuna.

Hygienic concerns, like the ones voiced by Leah Chernikoff at Elle.com in 2018, are valid. “In my cub reporter days at the New York Daily News I set out for a weekend in the city wearing a brand new pair of flip-flops and then sent them into a lab to be tested for bacteria. They came back with nearly 14,000 strains of…

Those Waller-Bridge genes sure seem to be quite a force. 

or Katrina or Maria or... the list goes on. As the creator has said, while there are reasons this particular story could have only happened in the Soviet system, the toxic features of that system are present everywhere and show up in massive failures around the world throughout human history. Naked self-interest, the…

I remember when I first learned about the Eastern Front aspect of WWII to include that for every US soldier, 80 Russian soldiers died … and I didn’t learn this in High School, which is a shame.

I noticed how he claimed it was the biggest battle in history, even though it paled in comparison to battles on the Eastern Front like Stalingrad and Kursk.

Same. I’ve been dreading the revamp and replacement of iTunes for years, even though it’s often buggy and parts of it under the hood are deeply, deeply outdated, because whenever something has been split out of iTunes thus far (eBooks, ringtone management), and when the split the old iPod app on the phones into…

This. I don’t waste my time on “when life begins” arguments. I don’t care if the fetus in my belly is human, or has reached certain developmental milestones, or got there via a decision I made to have consensual sex; I still get to decide how to use my body. We don’t compel any other group to sacrifice their bodies…

It seems to me that it’s less about *this* is normal and it’s more about *here are a lot of things and they are all just fine*. Just being able to see your body shape, size, color out there in the wild is affirming, whether or not it’s qualified at all. 

If they reshoot this with any actor, and the time hasn’t come to do this yet, it should be Levar Burton.

My daughter, who is now 15 has a friend who has two moms. I remember back when they were all in Pre-K, when they were about 3 and 4, we were all there doing some Christmas parent thing in school and the kids were going around in a circle, talking about families. Jake raised his hand and said, “I got two moms. We all…

A few days after the news broke that the trump administration was separating and imprisoning children, my 4 year old daughter caught a 24 hour stomach bug. She was up puking every hour or so all night and I slept next to her, making sure she puked in the bowl, wiping her chin, rubbing her back, giving her sips of…

She had to settle with the studio musicians (called “New Ark”) she worked with for $5 million because she 100% took credit for their work. You don’t give $5 million for nothing. Hill isn’t Prince, she was not telling a bassist and a drummer what to play during those recording sessions. 

yeah, people having been trying as hard as possible, this article included, to ignore Glasper and the other musicians who actually composed and wrote this album. but this is the kind of story that makes my blood boil. famous artists stealing from studio musicians who aren’t well-known, I really truly hate it. and it’s…

It's so good three hit songs came out of it. This has been a favorite since childhood.

But he isn’t denying his impact- simply saying he doesn’t care for a lot of his music. You can absolutely think someone is talented and impactful without personally enjoying their art. 

A better response would have been no response, until a reporter asked her about it. Then she could have said “Ben Shapiro? I don’t know her.”

“Alexandria Ocasio-Cortez hates white people, calls real Americans ‘saltines’. Is she the most racist candidate in the history of American democracy? We find out tonight at 11 when we spend 5 hours saying ‘Yes!’.”

It’s not ridiculous. She could have easily qualified her statements. “Those guys trolling me are fucking douchebags” or some such thing. Instead she said that white people are goblins and their opinions are dog piss. When I was treated shitty in Korea I would say “man, that guy was an asshole” not “man, Koreans are…
