Tiffany Haddish getting drunk and telling the story of Rose Valland, an art curator who recovered stolen art from the Nazis during WWII, is everything I’ve never thought I needed in life. Someone PLEASE make this a regular thing with her. I guarantee our children and we, as a society, would learn more from her valuable teachings. [Full video here]
BEST SHIT EVER !!

norway’s curling team is appropriately dressed for valentine’s day
day 2: norway is still slaying the pants game
day 3: pants game is still on top
day 4: still impressive
day 5: another day another trouser
day 6: they have yet to wear one pair twice
Okay so I already reblogged this once but I’m reblogging again because I just watched a short documentary about these pants.
Apparently back at their first Olympics appearance, they (especially Chris Svae, the ginger who plays second) were pretty disappointed with their gear because the gear didn’t look flattering. They couldn’t change the shirts because of Norway federation sponsorships so they started looking for pants to wear. They had a hard time finding pants that both looked respectable enough for professional curling and stretchy enough to allow curling, and promptly gave up on finding pants that were both stretchy and professional.
Chris Svae ended up finding pants that were Norway-colors-ish that looked comfortable enough for curling, but had crazy patterns. People at Olympics were not happy about this because PATTERNS AREN’T RESPECTABLE ENOUGH, so they were conflicted. But the night before the opening ceremony, they were hanging out with a bunch of lady skiiers. Chris at some point just takes off his pants and put on the crazy pants they bought and asks “Do you think we should wear these pants” and the skiers were like “he’ll yeah you should totally do it”
So they wore the crazy pants to play in the Olympics, and a few days later the website where they bought the pants crashed. The owner of the website visited them in Vancouver for the Olympics, and then decided to sponsor the team.
And now, 8 years layer, the Norwegian team has a different pair of pants for each match. Including a Valentine’s day pair.
A new NPR/Marist poll finds that 1 in 5 jobs in America is held by a worker under contract. Within a decade, contractors and freelancers could make up half of the American workforce. In a weeklong series, NPR explores many aspects of this change.
Alex Belfiori has a big day coming up later this week. He’ll sit down with his boss in a conference room at the Dick’s Sporting Goods headquarters near Pittsburgh. The topic: his future with the company.
“I was told … there were no guarantees for me getting hired full time,” says the 28-year-old Belfiori.
He is part of America’s emerging free agent workforce. According to an NPR/Marist poll released this week, 65 percent of such workers, like Belfiori, are men. And 62 percent of them are under 45.
Young contract workers, and not just men, start their careers in a very different place than their parents did — one that’s more flexible but a lot more unpredictable. Since graduating from college, Belfiori has already had five jobs.

Ppl who wear glasses: How do you keep them clean because holy shit
We don’t.
i hate applying for jobs because the employers are always like: do you enjoy working in a stressful environment???? do you strive for unobtainable standards of perfection???? are you good at dealing with people that make you feel extremely uncomfortable??? do you mind losing real hours of your life in order to make minimum wage?? are you a fan of capitalism??? do you love selling your soul just so you can afford to live???
This remarkable line of questioning from Congresswoman Suzan DelBene demonstrates just a few of the ways that the GOP tax plan treats corporations better than people.
Under the Republican plan, corporations are still allowed to deduct state and local taxes. Workers are not. Corporations are still allowed to deduct business expenses. Teachers are not. Corporations are still allowed to deduct more than $10,000 in property taxes. Homeowners are not. Corporations are still allowed to deduct moving expenses. Families are not.
And this is on top of a $1.5 trillion corporate tax cut.
Let’s be clear, this is not a “middle-class tax cut.” Working families get the crumbs and the super-wealthy get everything else.
how can you not be speechless in the face of that kind of cartoon villainy though, like, he doesn’t even look fucking guilty about it or realize that he should be
