I worked at Disney a while ago. Do you know why theme parks are so safe? Because OOSHA reps can walk the track on any ride at any time and any safety violation they see is a $10,000 fine. Each. Theme parks are not safe because the company cares. They're safe because it's cheaper to comply.
Jon of The NorthTurns out that food companies were only checking their food because the government told them to, which is exactly why we need government regulations.
Maria Bamford in the Comedians Of Comedy era was easily one of the most influential comics to Gen Xers & Elder Milennials. You hear her DNA in so many modern stand up, sketch & improv comedians alike
rudetuesdayShe and W. Kamau Bell had a great conversation on his podcast. You can safely assume that I pretty much always have some Maria Bamford funny thing going in my brain, tho youtu.be/dAqMiYlVaVI
During any Maria Bamford interview or set, she says something that's so specifically for my funny bone that I am inconsolable.

EMILY WILSONIn this piece, I regret the paragraph about the uses of the POC actors - who are all great, but IMO under-utilized (and why couldn‘t Himesh Patel be Odysseus instead?) I still think the film largely wastes its strong cast, but I framed it badly.
Growing up in Massachusetts, there's no time in my life I can remember not knowing Haitian neighbors. Part of why MA is so hard hit by this TPS horror is when a new wave of folks came here from crisis, there were long established Haitian communities to plug into. This isn't just the news for anyone.
