Then I assume a bunch of humanitarian awards. I would watch this live and record this and then show it to grand nephews and nieces just to be like "these were the old times."

He's a **loving terror** on the road. Like I said, he readily admits it. Go back and watch his old videos. The videos between his Hamburger America documentaey and his latest series with his daughter filming show his true self. I look forward to every George Motz video, but he's an rear end in a top hat.

Duckman2008 posted:Discovery + is really good. It’s also absolutely trash tv. But yeah, I’m fine with it. I make no judgements. It seems like they have a lot of content in their back catalog to offer. But maybe that's the issue? It seems like the successful streaming services are all doing it on the back of original content which Discovery only really has because they pulled their shows from cable and pay walled them. Everyone is talking about Wandavision, The Boys, and Stranger Things (and so on) and subscribing to see them. No one is talking about subscribing to Discovery+ for new Dr. Pimple Popper episodes.

Then he got famous and hated his perm, but by then it was part of his brand and he couldn't change it. But in what universe are perms, even infrequent ones, cheaper than basic haircuts? https://www.today.com/popculture/can-you-handle-truth-bob-ross-famous-curly-hair-was-t102398

They needed him in a collared shirt and that was what wardrobe grabbed for him. Afterwards, every bowling league on earth started sending shirts in to him and thus it became his new life.

If you like "cooking media personality" gossip you must follow Joe Rosenthal and read his insta stories. he's had a lot to say about Bon App, Sqirl, Clarence Kwan, prince street pizza (and other pizza place drama)... https://www.instagram.com/p/CKrP7Q6jwCc/?igshid=1ikcnktzbxnxk

Lol RIP. Also saw a day or so ago that Arclight is closing all of its theaters. That’s a shame because I had one close to my house that was super nice. There’s an AMC that’s kinda close but they are tearing that mall down to build condos sooo I guess no more going to the movies.

Reuters and AP are making their money by other news orgs just reprinting them (I assume!) so losing people on the website who are usually just clicking through is probably a reasonable trade-off for them.

LibCrusher posted:What is/ was base camp Then they entirely contradicted all their own 'cool business' advice and announced sweeping changes to the company via a ranty blog post. "No more politics at work. We are awesome and need to get back to awesomeness. If you don't like it, leave". Then loads of the staff didn't like it and left. Loads of tech people who are still enamoured with all their 'we're special' bullshit then rationalise this by dismissing all the leavers as unproductive SJWs. How they reconcile this with their darling CEOs having originally hired all these supposedly unproductive wasters is beyond me. Company set fire to their goodwill because they didn't want to respond to an internal disciplinary matter.

I tried their Hey email. It was alright. In the end though, email is kind of dead end product. I don’t email friends and an increasingly large amount of my communications with business are by text or chat. There will always be a need for it, but not one worth $100 a year to satisfy. Also LOL at the idea that it’s the troublemakers who are leaving. Whenever a company offers these kinds of buyouts a good portion of those who leave are the top performers who can easily leave to go someplace else. They see the writing on the wall and take their very valuable skills elsewhere.

The latest private liberal arts college circling the drain is my own alma mater. Background: a former member of the college's board of trustees was a known creep and is currently facing criminal charges for sexually assaulting students. The professor who was the faculty representative on the board was not at all happy about the board's response to this situation and has been fighting with the board chair and college president about it. Eventually the professor took his concerns to the rest of the faculty and was able to get them to hold a vote of no confidence in the chair and president. When talking to the press, the professor also mentioned that the president has a habit of making rather tasteless "jokes" about Jews. Unsurprisingly, the administration is not happy about the whole situation. They found a lawyer willing to say "you can totally fire this tenured professor without due process", so that's what happened. FIRE posted:The justifications offered by Linfield’s leadership to the Chronicle are incoherent. Prior to the firing this was just a local story. Now it's national news. I'm really looking forward to the college's fundraising efforts switching from "please support the next generation of future leaders" to "please support our legal defense fund".

quote:In an interview, Agre-Kippenhan said that Pollack-Pelzner had been fired from the university under his status as an employee, not as a tenured professor, and that the faculty handbook needed to be revised because many of the provisions in it were “not entirely useful.” Look, it's really quite simple. We understand that our card said "fire target employee" and thus cannot be used to fire tenured professors. However, Pollack-Pelzner was both an employee and a tenured professor, so he did fall within the bounds of the targeting restriction. Wait hang on, I think I might have the wrong rulebook.

Also, I love funny names, but keeping a company-wide running list of (I’m assuming) overwhelmingly minority names, who are paying your predominately White company actual cash money for services rendered is kinda YIKES.
