I don’t remember if it was mentioned in the book but it was around before then. I was really into the Knights Templar when I was a kid though.

I’m sure they had the guests at one point and then said guests started asking specific questions like “Wait, are you sure it’s the Today Show or is it Megan Kelly because if it’s the latter you can forget it!”

My background is Portuguese/Catholic so it’s always been funny getting the American reaction to being born on Friday the 13th as “Ooooooh, spooky! Are you a witch?”, and then my family’s reaction which has nothing to do with the Friday but the specific date because it coincides with the Virgin Mary’s appearance at…

I remember my first time going to the movies here in the States thinking it would be the same as my experiences in Europe where I spent most of my childhood. We were running late and I didn’t want to miss the beginning of the movie so I didn’t bother going to the bathroom first and there I sat waiting and waiting and…

Weinstein is a bully who bought into his own fabricated hype. He has no friends, he has no defenders, he has no one who genuinely likes him as a person or a colleague. Everything he had he gained through physical, verbal and financial coercion and blackmail. People tolerated him because they had to not because they…

Carole King fans?

He is not and never has been the only problem at that company.

Start and stick to credit unions if you can. Many of them have mobile banking and won’t charge you fees even when using a different atm.

They’re not even needed for that since they have to rely on a labor attorney for advice regardless. That’s why they’re useless from doing the most basic of things like setting up interviews with qualified candidates to protecting the company or its employees.

I’m still waiting for a story about a competent HR dept in my industry, in other people’s industries, regarding anything from picking potential hires to dealing with harassment, sexual and otherwise. I haven’t come across a positive story yet which I feel is the point. HR is there to create the impression that you…

Lindsay you can kiss Harvey’s ass all you want but you miss the point, it’s no fun for him if you fuck him willingly so your escorting services won’t be useful here.

Why does she always look an alien who’s doing a piss poor job of living in a human suit?

That was my thought too but I figured for once I wouldn’t be the gloom and doom person. It’s almost always at least verbal/emotional abuse.

Stupid me. I thought this had to do with characters but it’s authors. Of course, they’re still going to be mostly white because publishing is still mostly white. Different industry, same story, same victims.

Holy shit, I had no idea Scarsdale was considered Westchester county. I always thought it was part of the Bronx.

I actually thought she was from Scarsdale. Oh well. Thanks for the clarification.

It’s a tough situation. Sometimes you have to skirt around the issue while asking if they’re sure that this is what they want and if they’re OK, and just let them go through with it in the end because they won’t get it otherwise. I’ve yet to see or hear of someone changing their mind though. It almost always ends in…

What’s the point? Not even an hour had passed after The New Yorker piece was published before the conversation turned to why none of these women had said something earlier making it their problem and, conveniently, taking all of the attention away from HW. The same happened when Paltrow and Jolie’s statements were…

Westchester? Did I miss a pivotal plot point? Did you mean West Covina?

I don’t understand why we send people to jail for drugs when they would actually benefit from a rehab program but I guess they haven’t found a way to profit off of the latter. Letting child molesters out early because there’s no room in jail to hold them because someone, likely of color, was in the possession of a…
