Retaliation is only illegal if it’s a result of an illegal discrimination or harassment complaint. His firing can’t be both discrimination and the retaliation for the reporting of the discrimination. If your employer asks you to engage in a job duty and you refuse, they can fire you, even if you think your employer’s…

They literally can’t. In the U.S. an EEO-1 report must be submitted by private companies with more than 100 employees each year detailing the race and gender of applicants and employees. While it seems counter-intuitive, they are complying with the law. Now, they can’t use that information to discriminate; that is…

Most large employers HAVE to ask, to conform with EEOC requirements. The EEO-1 report must be submitted by private companies with more than 100 employees each year detailing the race and gender of applicants and employees.

It’s more about “Is this voice suited for this style of music?” When you hear an opera singer sing pop it sounds kind of weird, right? It’s like, they hit all the notes right, but it sounds...off somehow. That’s because the vocal quality just isn’t right for that genre. Put them in their own genre and they sound…

Right? What did these kids learn about the Code of Hamurabi? That slaves who didn’t want to be slaves were killed. (And even that isn’t correct.) Did they learn why the Code was important, or why it was enacted in the first place? Those might be worthwhile lessons, but the factoid is just (inaccurate) trivia.

The horses were corralled, the models didn’t have to walk through the manure. They walked close to it. If they’re in Paris they walk “within a yard of the piles” of dog poop every day, multiple times a day. Of course they kept a straight face. They’re professionals. Their job is to carry out the designer’s vision, not…

OMG! A black or brown baby just wouldn’t go with their aesthetic on Instagram.

(Psst, the aesthetic is white supremacy.)

You win the internet.

This thread is making my heart happy.

True, but to prove defamation, the ‘defamatory’ statement must be false. Even if he hadn’t admitted to some of the abusive behavior, the evidence presents a pretty strong case for the occurrence of abuse. She made a statement that she had reason to believe was true (that she became a focus on domestic violence…

And beat up Robin Givens! And literally bit off part of someone’s ear during a fight!

I’m starting to wonder if Jez has it in for Warren Buffett. Between the NAF story and this one, they’re roasting him today.

It seems a little disingenuous to conflate Buffett, who said problematic things, with Rose, who was accused of sexual harassment by 17 women. I’m not condoning either, but some rape-culture-y…

Or, you can make your own boozy freezer pops. Snip off the top of an unfrozen pop, pour out a little of the liquid, add in the booze of your choice. Reseal with a curling iron or flat iron. Freeze and enjoy.

In what “entire story” would rubbing a loogie on someone’s face be acceptable?

The trailer can’t tell us that Gauthier was the son of a 60s actor famed for playing a TV robot whose name was a literal racial slur.

He could say no.

No one gets into a Star Wars film by accident. Anyone who doesn’t know that these were some of the biggest movies of all time and any sequels were bound to have high expectations must be living under a rock.

To get to that level of filmmaking, especially in this day and age, you have to pursue it. Any…

As a former Catholic, I cannot disagree with any of this.

I love the PurAqua waters! Have you tried the blackberry cucumber? So good. (and priced right!)

Tasty, tasty bee barf

It took me a good 3 minutes to make sense of just that sentence.  

Uh, they did that already.
