NYC Opera was completely driven into the ground by its general manager. She should be the one to pony up the $20M.

That daughter of Auschwitz is hiding reeeeeally well.

The link for some reason contains the paragraph break, so it doesn't go to the story, just an error page.

"When You're a Daughter of Auschwitz Living in Virginia". The link is broken.

Russia is telling Syria to give up chemical weapons to avoid a strike. Obama knows what he's doing, folks.

Thanks for the tech notes. That should be fixed as soon as your cache refreshes (I hope).

The Harvard article is hilarious. I love the idea of overly entitled zillionaires being forced to take sexual harassment seminars to get the degree everyone expects them to have.

I thought that Titstare was going to be some semi-innocuous app that was getting an overblown reaction, much like Adria Richards getting two guys fired for telling immature, but not sexist, jokes.

But, no, it's sleazy. It's people uploading pictures of them blatantly staring at a woman's chest, with the most objectifying way possible. It's an icky, icky app that the news has caught on to, and now it's sensationalized rather than shunned.

The dude gesturing jacking off, though...when you have a shitty app and only 60 seconds, you have to make your presentation memorable somehow. He'd probably have been rightfully ignored as just immature if it hadnt been for the Titstare app.

The pdf of the poll says it's a CNN/ORC poll. Did a bunch of orcs do the polling or were only orcs polled?

Congressional approval of an attack on Syria won't make up for the lack of UN approval. Not often that I agree with Putin but he is right about this.

Russia Foreign Minister has offered to take and dismantle Syria's chemical weapons. That's a sensible solution if Russia follows through.

It further illustrates the point of the New Yorker article: Obama saved his Presidency by going to Congress. If he hadn't created the delay and just acted, the rest of his term would been the do-nothing RNC second-guessing a decision they pressured, cajoled and ignorantly howled for.

Hrm... Silicon Valley women (working or not) average out to 49 cents for each dollar earned by Silicon Valley men (working or not). But if you look over here all male teams were creating 89% of the startups.

Does Silicon Valley have a lot of stay-at-home wives not earning money ?

The board of City Opera doesn't want the company to exist any more, so they're trying to kill it. The latest strategy is to set an impossible goal. "If you can't pick up a million grains of sand with these eyebrow tweezers by sunset, you're dead."

Sorry guys. Jen has the job.
