The people who make those assessments at USC were in on it, though not in the way you might think. Universities with large men’s athletic programs often use women’s crew to pad their Title IX rosters.

I also was naively thinking that Katy Perry, who was supposedly “woke” after the release of her previous album, would have avoided something as regressive as a gender reveal cake.

I’ve been tested (definitely not rich- but I AM an essential healthcare worker, so that may be why they opted for a test even though my symptoms were super mild). Where I live, they’re relatively easy to get. HOWEVER- I got tested almost two weeks ago, and haven’t gotten results yet. I will likely be out of the…

This is all I could visualize while she was singing: Her epic Mykonos dance.

Re Hot Take;

Make sure you put “worked on this list” on the list. They need to know that accounting for everything you’re working on is just more work.

Every one of their graphs has a button to switch from logarithmic (“crunched” as you call them) to linear. There are good reasons to use both kinds of graph. The logarithmic style is better for showing the relative trajectory of different groups, and the effectiveness (or lack) of any isolation policies. The linear…

That’s how a logarithmic scale works.

So George was a bit of a sickly fellow, his whole life—either congenital issues passed down through a sickly family (his bad teeth were an inherited trait, not due to exceptional poor hygiene) or things he acquired during his life (smallpox, malaria, various camp fevers). We think of GW as being manly man, but much…

As a fashion copywriter, I can say that I much prefer these types of emails than ones that are simply NEW ARRIVALS, SHOP SPRING! as if nothing has happened. The right kind of beloved companies are still attempting to reach consumers with things they actually want. Self/skin care? Cozy home things? Plants? Yes please.

Any large corporation that doesn’t include the phrase “we are still paying our employees and plan to do so as long as we are able” in these emails gets a HUGE side-eye from me. My local bagel place put something up on FB and clarified - when I asked in the comments - that the majority of their employees have…

BUT IT HAS NEVER BEFORE ITCHED AS MUCH AS EVERY PART OF IT DOES IN THIS VERY MOMENT

I still like  her more than Justin Bieber

I’m watching the time limit expire on the protection order I have against a dangerous, unstable man. He knows the police won’t arrest him for doing things like driving on my street if there is no order in place and thinking about it expiring makes me feel hopeless. On top of the trauma that comes from him threatening…

I suppose (though still, property taxes) but that means she closed the shop that meant the world to her instead of selling that enormous place for an absolute fortune to keep it open.
I mean, really it’s all firmly in the realm of “it’s a cute fantasy-version of New York that’s about these sweet people getting…

It’s all just so much more nuanced. And as you note, much more about men too. I really wanted to get married and settled down in my 20s, but it took a while to find someone who I thought was good enough to settle for. I thought that I was clear eyed, no one is perfect, he’s good enough, etc. Turns out good enough…

I worked for the store that Meg Ryan’s was based off of for a year and a half (she literally worked at the store for a week to get into character before my time). I know this because my boss brought it up every single day for a year and a half.

I hate that you don’t make these new articles with each update. It renders commenting useless. Looking still comments from may when it’s an August update is blah. It only gets worse as time goes on. How about “best 8 games as of may 2017.... best 12 games as of August 2017" and so on and so forth. Will anyone ever…
