It is curious to me why they closed the wedding division — that was the only reason anyone I knew ever went into J.Crew!

Prepare for the onslaught of loyal Amazon tech worker commenters spouting #notjustamazon #amazonactuallyhelpsseattle b.s. in 3-2-1...

... or Amazon gets the brunt of the blame because (1) they’ve moved about 35,000+ rich tech employees into Seattle over the last 7 years alone, and (2) they started this tech influx that has created the affordability scarcity. And YEAH, it’s a cause of the homelessness crisis not just the “affordable housing” shortage…

Sure, it closes for winter, but many of the employees of PP love and are extremely proud to do that work. They build the job into their economic plans for the year (i.e., plan to come back season after season), thus, want the economic security of priority hiring. Plus, in my experience, absent that type of…

Despite what the other folks here are saying, yes, I think it has. Season 1 was masterfully done (and you should watch it regardless of whether you intend to keep going past there; I promise: the lush highland countryside views and utter knitwear porn are worth it alone). Season 2 was not quite as good overall but…

This is a pleasant surprise but, damn, it shouldn’t be. I don’t like to generalize about gender, but I had the realization several years ago that so many celebrated contemporary male authors — the guys you think of when you think of book awards and NYT hype — just don’t get and portray compelling, nuanced female…

^^^ Fact.

Omg, YES YES YES YES YES YES YES YES. I have been hoping and praying someone like Reese Witherspoon would take note and use her growing producing power to save this show. Season 1 was so great!

I see your point, *however*, a correct counterpoint to that line is that the movie only opened in 4 cities and it’s almost certainly true that not every indie cinema lover who enjoys stories about women lives in those 4 cities. But... to your point... I do live in one of those 4 cities so will be sure to get my booty…

Eh, I mean, if we’re playing a blame game here, I’m for sure not siding with the billionaire asking people to work for an unlivable wage while simultaneously banning them from taking on other work though...

Gothamist was a great publication. I’ve never lived in NYC, but even I found them to be a reliable, entertaining, thoughtful source addressing day-to-day life in one of the most fascinating cosmopolises in the world. Anyone who cares about having good online content to read should be outraged at the actions of…

Wait, why are we laughing at him?

Actually (*pushes up glasses nerdily*) whether it’s going to get dismissed in court depends on what the add-on is called (e.g., gratuity, service charge, etc.) and what your state law says about that type of charge. Don’t discourage workers who feel they’re being cheated from discussing it with a competent…

Eeeeeww.

HamNo, you are my one true love; let’s get married. I will be the oatmeal to your morning squats.

This is very victim-blamey. As an adult, the LW’s husband is responsible for his actions; if at however long into their dating relationship, he didn’t want to disconnect from the woman who made his SO uncomfortable, he should have been candid and shouldn’t have committed to doing so. If he felt the LW was going to be…

So, respectfully, then why in the ever-loving hell is your statement that Sarah Polley is “notoriously hard to work with” even relevant to her account of her experiences of sexual harassment in the industry? Do you have a point or does it just make you feel important to know people who know people?

Cool, but you know you just used *your* personal experience to try and invalidate hers, right? Also, where I come from “notoriously hard to work with,” is just code for “a woman who doesn’t put up with bullshit.” I’m #teampolley on this one.

I would def be uncomfortable if I came back to my apartment and a rando guy I’d never met was mopping my floor or vacuuming while my roommate watched, which sounds like it could happen here.

The noises are unreal. They sound like two cartoon birds screaming.
