Slander is spoken, fools. If it’s in print it’s libel. And it’s only libel if you can prove that the words were a lie that was told consciously with malicious intent. Good luck with that.

I think my favorite part is the belligerent blond woman who makes the comment that she was surprised when a black girl’s skin was pink when scraped turns around and makes the claim that she knew she wasn’t racist when she came in, so she doesn’t like being treated like she might have racist attitudes.
Really?

According to reports, Hal Rounds, the Fayette County attorney and spokesman for the group, said during a recent news conference that there has been “an awful lot of made-up criticism about, for instance, the founders intruding on the Indians or having slaves or being hypocrites in one way or another.”

An eight-hour drive from that glass factory is a complex, known informally as Foxconn City, where the iPhone is assembled. To Apple executives, Foxconn City was further evidence that China could deliver workers — and diligence — that outpaced their American counterparts.
That’s because nothing like Foxconn City exists in the United States.

The fact that I regularly come across things like this while scanning the internet for fitness inspiration tells me that the line between fitspo and thinspo, and consequently the line between caring about fitness and having a disorder, is porous and blurry and easily crossed.

Survey after survey and poll after poll that says that American workers are overworked, underpaid, and that their management sucks. Steve Tobak’s response? It’s always been that way, so quit yer bitchin’.
To back up his argument, he trots out a bunch of solipsistic anecdotal evidence that shows that he’s right.
Employees are overworked? He’s been working 60 hours a week since the 80s!
