Yeah, did you see the Allison Janney speech at the Globes where Harding got an ovation? I was like “uh, why are we cheering for someone who likely had a role in whacking the knee caps of another person?” More cringeworthy than any of the other perceived slights, real or imagined, that got play on this site.

This is the second time I’ve seen her supposed tobacco industry ties floated on this site in a few days, which with any context is pretty ridiculous. If the worst people can drag up on her is that and suggesting a harasser to resign, she seems in pretty good early shape. The fact that certain types of people have it…

A Tuesday holiday (with a working Monday) is actually better, otherwise people will just take it as an excuse for a three day weekend.

Not so woke to let a Mexican person speak, though. I thought the Del Toro music was a bit premature given the fact he was actually trying to say something relatively thoughtful, not just rattle off thanks to names that would have been Harvey Weinstein’s in any other year.

I read an article which described him as “heavy-lidded,” which struck me as perfect.

Hey, at least you’re an honest and consistent Jill Stein voter.

I think you’re mistaken in thinking whatever that link is supposed to go to is as persuasive or insightful as you think. You’re totally out of your depth talking about a world you obviously know nothing about.

It’s her brother-and-law who is the GC at Uber and he has been there all of 2 months (literally) and was hired as one of the people to clean up the corporate culture there. He is one of the most prominent African-American GCs in the country from his time at PepsiCo and himself has a history with the Democratic party.…

Right, this is representation that gets noted. Not however many hours of pro bono work should probably did being an associate that long.

Oh, puh-lease. This shows complete ignorance of how large law firms work. She was an associate at Davis Polk, and she got staffed on a tobacco case, probably not by choice. Do you realize how many clients she probably had at her decade there? Just like Barack and Michelle worked at Sidley Austin, a comparable firm,…

15 out of how many announced? I’m sure it’s a relatively small percentage, but you think that sort of context would be included to at least quantify the degree of the problem.

This is true.

You think the deYoung Museum and SFMOMA are excellent? :/ The setting of the Legion of Honor is nice anyway. Funny you don’t even mention the Asian Art Museum which along with the LoH probably has the highest quality special exhibitions, and no one beyond the LoH has a permanent collection really to speak of. Though…

I’m okay with them, but wholly reject the concept of sweet potato fries. Not everything you eat has to taste like fucking candy!

Was DJ Skat Cat not available?

Well, you kind of can :) (I don’t know why I’m 37 and know this):

I don’t understand this. Is it true crime if it’s fictionalized? Is there a true crime craze when my mom forced me to watch Farrah Fawcett’s “Small Sacrifices” when I was 10? Anyway, SSDGM.

Is this what the teenagers who watch that guy who went to the suicide forest listen to? I can’t imagine any adult listening this and thinking it’s noteworthy, but I also realize that all this chart stuff is driven by 12-18 year old white kids anyway. I think you have to be young to swallow anything this unoriginal.

While I generally like Paul Thomas Anderson (I thought “The Master” was uneven and long, but he lost me with “Inherent Vice,” which was just as awful as real Pynchon) I agree with your point that some of the critical darlings we’re supposed to like are just as unoriginal and formulaic. Shall we just call “Finest Hour”…

I remember her (someone?) saying it as “Qut’b” with a very soft “B.” I’m guessing the “kot-bee” is pragmatic recognition that English speakers can’t make Arabic noises, like when circa 2002 there was a group decision for everyone to start mispronouncing Qatar as “Cutter.” This is probably one reason why she named her…
