I set out in my car after leaving it in the driveway under a maple tree with the sunroof slightly open, one recent fine sunny day. I came to an awkward merge where I couldn’t see with mirrors and had to turn my head around. There in my peripheral was a translucent gray daddy long legs crawling on my left shoulder…

Tarot card readers may be con artists, but they can be duped like anyone else. Apparently her mother convinced her that Dali was her father. She believed it enough to want part of the estate by getting DNA test. Though for me no amount of money would make me feel comfortable about being his offspring. Too deeply…
Not doing one’s job isn’t an adequate description for physically assaulting a person simply because they verbally refused to comply with illegal orders. The former might justify administrative leave.
Until police caught assaulting people get treated the same as anyone else who commits assault (arrested and charged and put in jail until they can get bailed out) this will go on and on.
The term “white trash” gets used a lot by people who mean “like n-s but white”. It’s got no place in a describing any human being much less the population of a whole county, even if they are poor and voted for Trump.
It’s the Russians that are the experts on landing on solid ground, so - their turf.
Agism is a virtue on Jezebel. Kind of how bigotry is a virtue for Trump.
Speaking for myself I am not looking for parity at the back end only something less overwhelmingly skewed to the status quo. There are few women making films and fewer women who get a chance to develop their skills over multiple films, so I don’t expect that half of the films I want to see will be created by women…
I don’t know what he is, and neither do you. But if the guy making the decision is this mover and shaker in the industry, I find it hard to believe that he doesn’t have a clue about what he’s watching. Sure, he may honestly claim to have had the names removed but you don’t honestly think he’s heard about some of the…
From what I read it is one dude making the selection and he is unlikely to be unaware of who directors of all the films are, given his position in the industry. http://www.indiewire.com/2017/08/venice-film-festival-director-alberto-barbera-female-filmmakers-1201871067/amp/
You sound hurt. Are you OK?
Instead of just cutting and pasting, try reading first.
The trouble with people who don’t deliberately seek out to discriminate is that they very rarely have made the effort to understand that they are in fact biased and discriminating.
The Festival needs to recognize the bias - the unconscious way men and sadly women too have differing expectations for male and female work product - and make an effort to eliminate it. By removing the director’s name during the screening so the judges won’t be judging a “woman’s film”. The festival is perpetuating…
It has been shown in peer reviewed research that code written by people with female names is judged to be not as good as that written by makes. Even when the “female” work is better. https://peerj.com/preprints/1733.pdf
all the things he thinks about trump but that he can’t allow to pass his lips - those bags are where they are being stored up
For dogs sake, I pointed to low turnout in the Black community as another example of how slicing and dicing the population by color and gender is divisive. As in, you don’t want educated white women - and I quote the other poster -“off the hook”? Where does that finger pointing end, with blaming Black people for not…
What are you talking about? The report I cited said no such thing. It gave a 16% difference for clinton over trump, but no further breakdown. I pointed out that you would get a 16% difference if 58% of a population voted one way and 42% another way. That should be pretty simple to understand. As far as my source…
