Ugh, just ugh. I’m sorry that happened to you and that you received no support from your former organization. I guess at the very least you recognized he was trying to manipulate you? As Karen and Georgia say on My Favorite Murder, fuck politeness.

Way to blame the victim instead of doing her job. If she were competent, she’d identify others who are currently being harassed by this employee, because I have no doubt he continues to do so. Sounds like your former coworkers do not trust HR enough to approach with their complaints.

Also keep in mind that arrest does not mean guilt. Local law enforcement can arrest a person for any number of reasons. The courts decide whether or not the person has committed a crime.

I love to trot out this related story from the New Yorker: “Pets Allowed”

Yeah, if the disagreements were not faked to throw off Littlefinger, it makes me sad to think that after all they’ve been through, Sansa and Arya couldn’t just sit down and talk to each other about what’s happened. I’ve always thought of Arya as kind of a lone wolf but I would feel bad for Sansa having no…

I want to know how many people are able to actually approach the dragons and who has been able to touch them. I was rewatching the scene of Tyrion taking the collars off the two other dragons, and they certainly seemed to have responded positively to him (smelled secret Targaryen blood?). But I’m not sure the show has…

I believe the White Walkers are the only ones who can raise the dead. Although from season one, wasn’t there something about the dead reanimating south of the Wall?

I was wondering what the hell was happening with that story arc. Will it ever come out that Littlefinger killed Lysa? Will there be a marriage between Robin and Sansa? etc.

I’m currently using a 6-year-old-or-so Timbuk2, and it’s starting to look it’s age. For anyone who has a GORUCK, can you comment on whether or not the backpack is overbuilt for daily office use? I see a lot of references to tactical and military on their site. I’m not opposed to spending money on something that’s…

“Floppy failure”—I love that!

Ugh, I finally got a pull-up bar installed in a doorway. Haven’t gotten into the habit of using it whenever I enter/exit the room though.

I still remember the one or two years when I finally, inexplicably, could do pull ups. I still have the Presidential Fitness patches. (That must have been the same year I could climb the rope in gym class all the way to the ceiling. Do they even make kids do that anymore? That sounds like a lawsuit waiting to happen.)

This reminds me of a compilation video I saw on YouTube of people (all kids I think) dangling from ski lifts. I don’t understand how they could have gotten into that situation unless they were fooling around on the seat. But who knows. The ski lift operators would go out with a rescue “blanket” that the skiers would…

I’ve never heard of the “denaturing proteins” tip either. Whenever I get a poison ivy rash, I can get some relief from exposing the affected skin to very hot water or a hair dryer, so “overloading the pain/itch receptors” sounds familiar.

I’ve never seen Designated Survivor but I do remember when Mary McDonnell became president.

I’ve only flown Virgin America twice but thought they were good. FWIW, Alaska Airlines, which bought Virgin America, has been ranked among the best airlines in the U.S.

I barely know anything about Jesse Williams (other than that fans thought he should have been in the Hunger Games in the role of Finnick), but I did read a gossipy article once about how William’s so much hotter than his wife. So, yeah, it makes me sad that they’re getting divorced, if it might be because Williams is…

Whoa! I was trying to recall where I’d heard the name Talulah Riley before. Turns out I know of her because she played Mary Bennett in Pride and Prejudice (2005). I’d feel bad for any actress cast as Mary but obviously Riley does not look like Mary IRL.

If they were really that desperate to get four seats on a full flight, they should have kept increasing the amount of money they were willing to recompense volunteers. I could have sworn there’s some law where a passenger is entitled to $1,000 if they are bumped off an overbooked flight, but because there are always…

You haven’t seen Key & Peele’s take on Family Matters, have you?
