Starbucks management tried to convince a pregnant worker she couldn’t use the bathroom when she needed to. Luckily, she had a union at her store - and it’s yet another problem that could’ve been avoided if Starbucks stopped stalling at the bargaining table:

That the example @adobe.com uses to highlight firefly’s image editing feature is lightening a Black woman’s skin is … not great. I guess you could read it either way, but it seems likely that it was intended that the left (bland, dark skin) was the before and the right (colorful, light skin), after.

“In Finland, the number of homeless people has fallen sharply. Those affected receive a small apartment & counselling with no preconditions. 4 out of 5 people affected make their way back into a stable life. And all this is CHEAPER than accepting homelessness.” It costs a lot less to house people.

Graham Greene was one of those actors whose presence was absolutely, 100% guaranteed to make whatever movie or TV show he was in better. He added instant gravitas and authority, reliable stealthy humor and depth beyond whatever was on the page. Should've been Emmy nominated for "Reservation Dogs."

The funniest paragraph to me was that this is also a description of every comic book convention I’ve ever been to. Just blandly useless in its description. So you’re telling me that this scene dominated by white guys in their 20s looks like … every other scene dominated by white men in their 20s?

For all the whining about these dudes’ desire for a new “narrative or aesthetic agenda,” the examples of their writing in the article read like bad fan fiction in which the misunderstood male protagonist does all the naughty things he wants without consequence. No wonder so many use pen names.
