It doesn’t make any sense at all. The likelihood that Social Security will be around by the time GenX/Millenials retire is slim to none, and the very idea of having a pension is a hilarious nonsensical dream.

I worked for someone just like this. I stayed WAY longer than a few months (kudos to you) but I clearly relate to the PTSD effect of the verbal abuse. I got to a point where I had to steel myself every day to go in and try to be as invisible as possible. I think the verbal abuse and the submissiveness of those exposed…
this. 100% this. it’s the perfect way for them to punish women while also catering to their base of adherents to an obsolete, cruel, tribal and superstitious religion.
I just wonder what case you can seriously make that the rich in this country simply do not have enough money. The wealth distribution since Reagan is getting worse and worse. Our economy depends on money changing hands, not accumulating in a small group. This is nothing but bad for the way our economy works.
Beginning in the late 60's, early 70's, the former staff for Nixon came up with a plan to take the country further right, by uniting the Right with fundamentalist Christian ideology. The architects were the likes of Karl Rove and the creator of Fox News.
It’s like this in many other less glamorous businesses too, but Hollywood is exceptional in that it is, as you wrote, a fucking requirement.
The real deal is that they are sexists that want to inhibit the freedom of women. The ability to control when and how we reproduce is probably the greatest factor in women moving up the career ladder and in when we choose to marry, if at all. Stripping us of that right will send us straight to the home, where they…
Yeah, I think he’s been pretty open about it and remorseful (I also think he doesn’t go overboard on the apologizing because he realizes he’s fucked up to such an extent there’s no amount of apologizing that’s going to make up for it). He was a full blown addict and he hit rock bottom over and over. Phil Hartman is…
I mean, what’s your sample size? Because that “conspicuous pattern” wouldn’t seem to include Roman Polanski, Woody Allen, George H.W. Bush, R. Kelly, Mark Halperin, Terry Richardson, Bill Cosby, Twiggy Ramirez, Ethan Kath, or most of the other dudes whose shitty, abusive behavior has been publicly discussed in the…
For real. This is some shitty fatphobic stereotyping
I feel weird about all the fat-shaming comments I’ve been seeing on Jezebel since the Weinstein scandal broke. It literally has nothing to do with them being fat, and being fat has only a very tenuous relationship with self-control. It also seems quite a dangerous link to draw in cases like this, where an abuser’s…
I went to see PSA live when they rolled through my city, and someone in the audience asked them about why they think we need to justify birth control with “oh, it’s got other uses too” when it should just be, “women like sex too, y’all.” And they wholeheartedly agreed - it shouldn’t be about anything other than women…
WTF?
“...really busy...” I hate this excuse. It’s more like, “We didn’t prioritize our marriage and choose to put work first...” - sorry, that’s my hot take.
Good points. Especially 3&4. An additional heartbreaking detail is the fact that Johnson’s mother was told that he could not have an open-casket funeral and a leftist* organization tweeted this stating that it meant Johnson had been tortured and/or his corpse mutilated.
That’s a cool alternate reality you live in, there. But in this world research has proven that social programs successfully life people out of poverty, and the resulting economic expansion and taxes more than makeup for what was spent on food stamps and subsidized housing.
When I had a two-hour commute, both ways, in bumper-to-bumper traffic, I would sometimes get sleepy on the way home.
This is just dumb. David Blaine may be trash, but denigrating all of men just to be sassy is petty as fuck. This is like me saying “Women are such bitches. Oh, but if you’re not a bitch, ignore what I said.”
To be honest, statements like this bug me (but not because “Not ALL men wah wahh wahhhh”) but rather because, to me, this makes it sound like trash is the default- what we should EXPECT, and that takes the burden off them to do better. It allows them to be all, “Meh, what do you want from me? I’m trash!”
