I was relayed a story at work in which our CEO, in response to grumblings from us cubicle dwelling employees, said “The slaves will always complain when the boss changes the rules.” This anecdote was employed to make me feel better about changes in our company I disagreed with.

Yeah, that was shocking in her usual, “Did she REALLY say that??” way.

Hopefully notorious tightwad Melissa Rivers will actually pay the writers scale for once; if only for the farewell show.

I’m 55, and unless you’re over 50,

Honestly, when a show brags that it’s “The #1 rated comedy!” it sounds like they’re talking to you, but they’re really winking at advertisers. Netflix views their data as being more valuable than ads, and their data is strong enough to suggest to them that their subscribers seem to have an affinity for 80's-era…

BLonde lady gonna blind, I guess.

With the greatest of respect, as a person who suffers from mental illness myself, please don’t lump racists in with us. Racism may correlate with certain psychological conditions, but it’s important to remember that psychological conditions don’t cause racism. Racism is a value judgment that people bring to the world,…

Eh, she’s an IDF apologist who vocally supported the army during operation protective edge, where the Israelis killed 1500 Palestinian civilians to prop up a settler apartheid state. Her history as a badass ex-IDF type is a big part of her marketing here. Different strokes, I guess, but her past is fair criticism and…

I mean, in addition to the payouts, I can think of at least four TV series and movies that had characters based on him. Comedians, sit coms, and late night shows regularly used his lechery and insane behavior as a punchline. Women in Hollywood have said they talked openly about his behavior for decades & warned …

There are rumors circulating that her divorc” bid is really a strategy by both of them trying to save at least one of the money makers since he is out at Weinstein Co. The word is they think if she distances herself from him, the line might be able to bounce back, but that she has no intention of following through on…

NOBODY deserves to go to the University of Phoenix. Hasn’t she wasted enough money already?

I willingly admit that I can only handle criticism with heaps of praise in addition. I beat myself up enough that anyone else doing it is just confirming how much I think I suck.

That’s true, but it depends on the situation. Feedback doesn’t have a place with all bad news, like when someone dies or if your house was destroyed by a hurricane. I do like the idea of giving back agency when possible, but part of the hardest thing with really bad news is that it’s usually out of our control.

Buuuut....this isn’t about her.

As an extremely hairy guy I can say having crabs in your chest hair is worse. I had to apply Rid from my scalp to my toes and there’s a weeks-long refractory period afterward where every itch is terror that you missed one :(

I got crabs from Medieval Times guy. Totally mortifying. Can’t blame that shit on the horses (or at least I hope and pray not).

My kiddo had a case about 7 years ago that would not go away immediately because one of her classmates went untreated. We both get the heebie-jeebies when we have an itchy scalp now. (Even though I have chronic dry scalp, which has been confused for lice more than once, but I digress.)

I got lice from a guy I was dating who was working at Medieval Times. He groomed the horses there. This is what he eventually blamed it on, but I don’t think humans and horses can host the same species of lice. More likely it was because we weren’t exclusive and he fucked around (I was 23 and a dumbass with bad taste…

Unpopular Opinion: Amy Winehouse’s life was neither long or interesting enough to sustain a two hour narrative.

One of my best friends, a gay woman, worked at a huge ad firm. At one point, they developed this nutball, deeply offensive ad that was basically a tacky lesbian joke. She objected, both for the sake of her dignity and also to protect the company (because she’s a team player). But instead of taking her advice, her *all…
