I used to work for Borders. Same policy. We actually had someone in a store get maced once just for following a suspected shoplifter.

At the same time, it’s likely that (on set) Kevin Spacey was treated as a bigger name than Robin Wright. So if she spoke out, would anyone listen, or would she be fired? Even if we think people would have listened, I think that the one lasting lesson from these Hollywood stories that just about every actress has…

It’s from the peak film of popular culture in America, “Bring it On”.

I am seriously contemplating a side bet off the office super bowl pools that predicts whether Boston or Philly starts rioting first.

I can’t help but feel there’s a ton more to this story, if for no other reason than it took place at Hustler Club and not, say, “Joe’s Strip Joint”. Presumably a woman working at a higher end strip club would have experience with hecklers, plus bouncers would be hyper-aware of potential conflicts. Something funky must…

I flew from Logan Airport to Newark in 2004 with a goddamn full size leatherman on my keys and no one noticed.

Cool. Thats what I thought, but then I remembered there being some debate about Ted Cruz’s status so I got myself confused.

Can she be president? She was born in Bangkok to an American father and a Thai mother I think. It’s another Ted Cruz type situation, where the court would likely rule her a natural-born American but there’s some doubt.

Bingo. It’s more that kids can’t SHARE food from home with other kids. Each kid can usually eat what they want.

Borders died because they were run terribly. I like to joke that lemon bars killed Borders...here’s what I mean:

For those of us who aren’t super up on the biology of DUI tests, does a BAC take into account size? In other words, if I am 5'7" and 180lbs, does it take a different amount of alcohol to get to a .08 than it does for someone who is 5'2" and 110lbs?

That’s not super surprising. Most retail and fast food places tend to be anti-union from my experience. When I was a manager for Borders we used to have trainings about unions, but I remember thinking the biggest obstacle was likely that it was tough to figure out the target audience for a union; we had a lot of part…

That’s not what I meant. What I meant is that drag is about subversion, and the drag queens who fought at Stonewall weren’t fighting so they could mock women, they were fighting because they would have been beaten and arrested for dressing in drag. And alongside them would have been butch lesbians being arrested for…

All I know is this. In college, I saw Leslie Feinberg speak, and they talked in a passionate tone about Stonewall, describing the drag queens using stiletto heels to fight off the police...and it really left an impression on me, and made me see that drag is so complex, and so woven into gay history, that to dismiss it…

So if I’m flying out of Newark on Saturday morning, should I expect some delays from the storm screwing everyone up?

I tell this story all the time:

You’re absolutely right though-I commented to someone the other day that Uber could have claimed to be a “technology” company for a hot minute 10 years ago when having a service app-based was new and cutting edge.

Seriously. Also without spoiling, I think it underlined, highlighted, and generally further emphasized HOW FRIGGING AMAZING the events immediately preceding it were.

I spent Christmas hanging with my parents this year, and for a family of Jews we spent an inordinate amount of time watching the Hallmark channel.

There’s also something ironic about Bono name dropping Pearl Jam, a band that adores and has toured with Sleater-Kinney, godmothers of riot grrl and all around kickass examples of women rocking better than most men. Something tells me Eddie Vedder is probably not down with Bono’s logic.
