Exactly. Some kind of “Just Because It’s Legal Doesn’t Make You A Good Person” type of rethinking life choices.

Hen Party

Exactly. Being a 3o-something year old man pursuing 18 year old fans isn’t exactly something to be proud of. This whole non-apology sucks. 

Well, it is the language the Bible was written in.

This article is cute and all but I just watched their new music video they dropped at the same time of the name change and found it quite powerful. Feels like a missed opportunity to not include it here in this post and provide more commentary on it.

Let’s also recall the fact that conservative demi-god Ronald Reagan supported gun control measures as the Governor of California because the Black Panthers were armed and...distributing free breakfasts to their communities.

because there are just soooo many horrible white women named Kelly out there.

From Page Six: “Another woman, Colleen Riley, posted a 2014 message from D’Elia in which he asked her to “make out,” followed by another in which she said, “Chris, I’m 16.” D’Elia’s camp gave us another email in that chain, in which he allegedly replied, “Oh sh**. I thought you were at my [standup] show. Gotta be 18…

Simone Rossi issued this statement in response to the news:

There’s a workaround! Now that I’ve been brought into the black I believe your comment too should now be in the black.

Passionate?

Rossi allegedly wrote to D’Elia, ‘I’m 21 now and [down to f***].’ His reps say D’Elia didn’t respond to her.”

Not surprising: the (lack of) response from the gun community to the murder of Philando Castile, a card-carrying member of the NRA (who was shot because he informed a cop that he was carrying [legally] and the cop freaked out and shot him) tells the whole story.

Anybody who describes themselves as a ‘bold’ leader deserves a swift kick to the shins and a little DeNiro tap dance to their ribs.

I do a fair amount of hiring and I am not interested in seeing any of the above words shoe-horned into a resume. People who write such bullshit in their resume will write bullshit in their articles for our company.

I like to find a no-nonsense resume that somehow relates to the wit and wisdom of former Chicago Cubs…

Hard disagree on this. I don’t give a shit what you think you are or what you say you are. Applicants who bust out these kinds of adjectives too often set off alarm bells for me. Be concise and show, don’t tell.

If I am ever faced with the unfortunate event of having to change jobs, I have an ace in the hole; my boss, recommending me for a raise earlier this year, used the words “I literally cannot do my job without him” in the recommendation letter.

Don’t wedge buzzwords in. If they fall in naturally with solid active voice writing, cool. But if you have to force it, it’s gonna show, badly.

Article TL;DR: Don’t use old buzzwords. Here’s a new list of new an equally ineffective ones that you can paste right into a resume.

Remember kids, you can tell me you are Enterprising and Passionate, but if you can’t show me via the stories you tell, I’m going to be upset I wasted my time.
