When she came in the room, it all made sense. Show me someone that wouldn’t give it all up for Emma Stone, and I’ll show you a liar.” -Ryan Gosling

I was making some update about the “friendzone” being creepy and this happened.

Ugh.

This is the worst thing

I was kind of disappointed in Mindy Kaling’s book. Obviously she is an incredibly talented and funny woman whose job I would kill for, but rape jokes and implications of major distress because not everyone wants to be married with children? No thanks.

Thomas and O’Brian would be kind of a cute lil team if they weren’t so EVIL

Everything changed for Glenn Mack Jr. when his supervisor at Whole Foods found out he’s Muslim.

Glenn had been a rising star at Whole Foods, recruited to work in a prestigious Philadelphia store and even winning a special meeting with the company’s CEO. But when his supervisor found out Glenn would be spending his vacation making pilgrimage to Mecca — for which vacation time was approved months in advance without any questions — his boss suddenly had a change of heart.

“You can choose. It’s either your job or your religion,” Glenn was told. He was subsequently demoted, harassed and wrongfully terminated in November.

Glenn’s not bitter, though — he honestly just wants his job back. So Moein Khawaja, who is working with Glenn to get Whole Foods to do right by him, started a petition on Change.org calling on Whole Foods to reinstate Glenn and create sensitivity training for all staff. Will you sign Moein’s petition calling on Whole Foods to reinstate Glenn Mack, who was harassed and fired for being Muslim, and end religious discrimination in the company?

Whole Foods actually has a zero-tolerance discrimination policy and says on its website that “supporting team member happiness and excellence” is one of its seven core values. So the chronology of Glenn’s mistreatment by the self-styled home for forward-thinking shoppers is like a slap in the face:

Glenn returned from his vacation demoted to part-time status and stripped of all his benefits — even health care. He complained to HR, and got only harassment in response. When he would use his off-the-clock breaks for 5-minute prayers, he was heckled and suffered anti-Muslim comments to the point that he had to pray next to the dumpsters. When Glenn was finally fired, it was for absenteeism — something he had not been approached about before.

Glenn’s mistreatment completely clashes with what Whole Foods says it stands for.  He thinks that maybe that’s why the company has basically chosen to ignore his harassment, perhaps hoping others will, too. But if customers tell Whole Foods that they won’t stand for religious discrimination and that they want Glenn back on the job, the company will have to act.

Please sign Moein Khawaja’s petition to get Glenn Mack’s job back and end religious discrimination at Whole Foods. Stand with Glenn and Moein now to help them win.

I don’t want him to get his old job back, he deserves more than that.

White Liberals. 

Fuck getting his job back, I want him to own that company. 

Name that bigoted supervisor. 

Yep. As Yeloson on DW’s tags say: liberal white sheets are recyclable. 

Man, I knew Whole Foods was evil, but sweet damn. They’re really evil. I, too, hope he owns the damn company and turns it into something that will benefit people other than rich white folks. I hate that place.

i have very very very very low expectations

BAGHDAD — One by one, the Marines sat down, swore to tell the truth and began to give secret interviews discussing one of the most horrific episodes of America’s time in Iraq: the 2005 massacre by Marines of Iraqi civilians in the town of Haditha.

[…]

The 400 pages of interrogations, once closely guarded as secrets of war, were supposed to have been destroyed as the last American troops prepare to leave Iraq. Instead, they were discovered along with reams of other classified documents, including military maps showing helicopter routes and radar capabilities, by a reporter for The New York Times at a junkyard outside Baghdad. An attendant was burning them as fuel to cook a dinner of smoked carp.

The documents — many marked secret — form part of the military’s internal investigation, and confirm much of what happened at Haditha, a Euphrates River town where Marines killed 24 Iraqis, including a 76-year-old man in a wheelchair, women and children, some just toddlers.

Blogger told she’s not a journalist, fined $2.5 million: This is an important case. The Oregon blogger, Crystal Cox, runs a number of legal sites that play whistleblower to various firms. One of those firms, Obsidian Finance Group (they of obsidianfinancesucks.com) sued over defamatory postings. Nearly all of the allegations were thrown out — except for one. The post was fact-based, Cox claimed, as it was based on a source inside the company. But here’s the important part: A federal court claims that she’s not a journalist, despite the fact that the post was journalistic in nature, and she’s not subject to the shield laws that protect journalists in her state. Hence … the fine. This is important. Follow this story.

Wow. WOW. As a former “real journalist,” this is horrifying. Whistleblowers AND journalists (even ones on the little ol’ Interwebz) should be protected under the law. Surprise, surprise: federal courts siding with a corporation over an actual person!

WTF???

First Amendment law is in serious need of joining the 21st century.
