The hot sauce to bun ratio is anxiety-inducing

It's very interesting. I wonder how he came to that place. I didn't like the vagueness and careless tone of the first sentence of the apology, but the rest seemed genuine

At least the one authoritarian who calls him Tim Apple

Charlie Hallowell, the chef behind several East Bay restaurants, publicly apologized after allegations of sexual harassment erupted in 2017. He admitted to the majority of the allegations(opens in new tab), stepped away from his businesses for two years without pay and underwent extensive therapy and reflection, according to Donna Insalaco, Hallowell’s business partner, whom he brought in post-allegations. “I have personally seen his growth, his ongoing work to repair trust, and his commitment to building a more inclusive and accountable workplace,” Insalaco told The Standard, adding that the majority of the managers at Hallowell’s restaurants are now women.

Only one harasser admitted to doing something wrong and made efforts to learn and change

70 powerful Bay Area men were accused of sexual misconduct. What happened next? Since 2010, scores of prominent local men have faced allegations ranging from sexual harassment to rape. Most have returned to the highest echelons of public life.

Also: "We did not include allegations against local clergy, because there are too many."

Harassing has so little long-term effect: "We found that 76% of the men we reviewed are professionally active, 41% are in the same or an elevated role since the allegations were made public"
I'm glad someone is keeping track so industries hold people accountable

it's so frustrating

did he really learn it the first time? or this time either? unfortunately he doesn't seem to want to learn this lesson at all and may never learn it

A screenshot of a Hollywood Reporter politics news article. The headline reads, "Dave Chappelle Knocks Republican Party for “Weaponized” Transgender Jokes: “That’s Not What I Was Doing”" The subheadline states, "After being called out for transphobic jokes, the superstar comedian told NPR that Lauren Boebert and other Republicans are politicizing his humor." Below the text is a photo of Chappelle in a black tuxedo speaking at a podium, with a caption noting he is accepting the President's Award at the 2025 NAACP Image Awards.

No, that's exactly what Chappelle was doing and it's why trans people criticized him for doing it.

There’s no excuse why Democrats haven’t flooded the airwaves about the plethora of sex offenders and pedophiles Donald Trump has personally put back into our neighborhoods.

Remarkable, must-read story about how @mrs-frazzled.bsky.social and @cheyennehunt.bsky.social brought down the despicable Eric Swalwell. This didn't happen overnight.

I've worked at a bunch of mission-driven startups. Pros: easier to understand and make decisions if the CEO is focused and clear on mission. More fun and rewarding personally to make progress on a meaningful mission. Better communication and collaboration. Cons: burnout, hard when mission changes

Publishers should care, too, and they should have a diverse staff. The problem is bigger than just the authors, but the authors have the power to fix it.

Raskin: "It doesn't give me a lot of comfort that Todd Blanche is now the acting AG. This is the guy who transferred Ghislaine Maxwell from the higher security prison to the low security prison camp in Texas."

Ugh I just went on Twitter and realized that I was following Vance because Harris is no longer our VP. How horrible.

Massive immigration raid on Chicago apartment building leaves residents reeling: 'I feel defeated' The Department of Homeland Security said federal agents with Border Patrol, the FBI and the Bureau of Alcohol, Tobacco, Firearms and Explosives arrested 37 people in the raid.

well she did not consider pedophilia inappropriate so what does this even mean

I just read about Tiffany Trump's husband asking only $25,000 for access. It was so paltry that the other side just sent him $100,000 in response

Turns out access journalism is all about the access and not at all about the journalism

The movement against ICE in Los Angeles — one that is starting to take root across the country — demonstrates a shift from symbolic protest to direct action.
