Image
  Today in "It Seems Like Everyone's A Sleazy Fuckin'  Ho," Lizzo, the feel-good flute-player and pop songstress - along with her tour manager, Shirlene Quigley - has been sued in Los Angeles Superior Court for "sexual harassment," "fat shaming" "religious and racial harassment" and "false imprisonment" by several of her tour dancers and staffers. The details, according to NBC News, aren't pretty, and include charges that dancers and staffers who did not attend the tour's after-parties, which weren't mandatory, experienced far less job security, and in some cases, were publicly fired.  Wait, it gets worse, At these parties, many held at strip clubs,  Lizzo allegedly “began inviting cast members to take turns touching nude performers...ordered them to catch dildos launched from the performers’ vaginas...and eat bananas protruding from the performers’ vaginas,” the suit says. “Lizzo (also) began pressuring them to fond...

Lazy girl/boy is the latest trend among younger workers: A commentary

  When I read about the latest trend among youngsters on Tik Tok called "lazy girl job" I had to find out more as my first reaction was huh?   Lazy girl job is essentially two things: finding a brag worthy, well paying remote job ($80k +) and then going on social media to brag about being lazy, doing the bare minimum with zero ambition, and encouraging others to do the same.

Since prehistoric times workers have always tried to find ways to slack off when the boss isn't looking. But what's different with today's entitled, everyone gets a participation trophy generation is their braggadocios brazen attitude about it.

Doja Cat, WTF IS WRONG WITH YOU?! (how to lose 250,000 fans and counting)

Doja Cat must believe she has so much talent that it allows her to do and say anything she wants and get away with it. In the past, this has been true; her fans are one of the most stalwart fan bases I have ever seen, probably thinking her controversies made her a badass who didn't give any fucks. That can be alluring because so many people care what others think of them, and it stops them from doing or saying things that might offend or disappoint someone, even if it is true.
