Wilford Brimley in "Absence of Malice" (1981)
(Columbia Pictures)

quote of the day

Why can't Google, which likes to see itself as a "Don't Be Evil" benevolent force in society, just write us a big check for using our stories, so we can keep checks and balances alive and continue to provide the search engine with our stories? After all, Schmidt acknowledges that a lot of what's on the Internet is "a sewer." He told me people don't come to Google for "crap," but for what's "useful."

Maureen Dowd, "Dinosaur at the Gate" (April 14, 2009)

How often do you hear: "Here is what you asked for completed and I did some extra"?.... Designers have spoken volumes with few words on whether or not they'll dress MELANIA TRUMP. Read these articles for insightful commentary on designers' statements and—more important—why dressing FLOTUS matters in the first place. REDEF FashionSET - " (Ad)Dressing FLOTUS: Will They or Won't They?"... REDEF MusicSET - " Best of 2016: The Year in Lists": Our annual running list of top 10s, top 40s, top 50s and top whatevers from around the music universe... You bring a horse to water and it gives you half a bottle of frozen ketchup... Holiday time is hard... I'm pretty tough on myself. Especially, when I don't correct an issue (or person with the issue) even though I knew to do it. Trust your gut... REDEF.com is looking for a technical lead to partner with me and the team on our future product and CMS. Full stack knowledge, a network of hires and freelancers, self-starter, and initiator. We're also looking for the right person to oversee our ORIGINALS franchise. Please email jobs@redefgroup.com... Happy Birthday to JARRETT POSNER, MICHAEL RAMSAY, SCOTT ROESCH, BETTY LIN, and MARK GARNER.
