Hey smart ass, some of us actually enjoy reading literary fiction and short stories, and knew who she was when you ... y’know....used her name.

That’s ... not quite accurate, at least in the legal system. There are in point of fact (there’s that word, sorry) two separate concepts. “Innocent until proven guilty” is merely referring to the standard of proof the prosecution bears. The state must prove you guilty. If you were convicted and your conviction later…

Same here! But now thinking back I do recall the earlier context ... it’s just wild we both had the same thought. But who doesn’t love Dan B?

... OK I read that as you having 3/4ths of a squirrel in your deep freeze, etc. BRB vomiting.

I felt the same way when all the superhero movies started projectile vomiting all over the theaters. I lived. You will too.

I don’t know if this was deliberate on the part of Mrs. Obama or the artist, but someone on another page pointed out the similarities between the patterns in her dress and coded quilt patterns that indicated safe passage to those fleeing to freedom via the Underground Railroad. NatGeo: Did Quilts Hold Codes to…

Anytime, Former Y.

Start at 8:30 if you wanna see just a bit of intro to the head. Destruction commences fairly soon thereafter.

Yeah but .. is this really a shock to anyone? Has anything really changed here? Sure, LA law enforcement is SUPER late to the party but it’s not like those of us who remember this haven’t always thought this was the case. I was 14 and lived in NC, near where they filmed her last movie, a young actor in training at the…

Same. I laughed at the ER. I don’t even remember what it was, some fucking joke of some kind that someone said in an offhand manner and they probably didn’t even mean it to be funny, but it hit me as funny, and I just embraced the damned gallows humor and riffed off it. And I laughed. Because I was giddy, I admit. I…

What’s your proof of that? There are two layers to this issue. Seems (white) people really wanna focus on the micro without understanding or even acknowledging the bigger issue.

...they can have mine now. #Covfefe

Begging the question. You assume the only possible reason for her being offered less is that she’s somehow worth less. The reality is far more pernicious: the reason women and POC earn less is because their fees are all too often artificially depressed due to discrimination.

Yeah that’s a case where some disparity is undoubtedly justifiable but daaaamn that’s SOME pay gap.

Damn straight we do.

The piece: delicious. The rolls: shitty. I loved the writing so much and the author now has new fans for life. If it also sticks a fork in Battali, well, hey ... bonus.

I don’t think any of that is because he blacklisted Mira. I think it’s because he harassed her, propositioned her, and chased her around the room to begin with.

See, I’m not so sure that’s a drawback. Maybe it’s a strength. I think a lot of the weaknesses inherent in American TV come from that 22-episode season burden. I theorize it’s why a lot of British TV seems so superior - because they don’t have that expectation/pressure to fill 22 arbitrary 42-minute slots, end on a…

But also, yeah, money. I ended up here, can’t move.

Because it’s rarely this bad. Because some of us like snow and the cold, and some of us have chronic health conditions made worse by heat. Because there’s something everywhere - tornadoes, hurricanes, hello, earthquakes? - and at least this, we know it’s coming and can prepare for it. Because I’ve lived in coastal…
