Eric McMahonea month agoThe article examines multiple allegations of sexual assault and coercion against Neil Gaiman, a highly successful fantasy author. The piece features accounts from several women who claim Gaiman abused his power and influence to exploit them, often manipulating their admiration for his work. The article contrasts Gaiman's public persona as a feminist champion with these accusations, exploring the complexities of consent and the power dynamics inherent in the author-fan relationship. It also explores Gaiman’s childhood within the Church of Scientology, suggesting a possible link between his upbringing and his alleged behavior. The article ultimately questions whether Gaiman's literary themes of power, abuse, and trauma reflect a darker, hidden aspect of his own life.168
Eric McMahonea month agoThe U.S. economy added 256,000 jobs in December, the most in nine months, reinforcing the view that the Federal Reserve won’t lower interest rates anytime soon. Nonfarm payrolls rose faster last month than in November, the Bureau of Labor Statistics reported Friday, pointing a still robust labor market. The unemployment rate edged down to 4.1%. Overall, jobs increased by 2.2 million last year — slower than in 2023 but still above the pre-pandemic 2 million of 2019.139
Eric McMahonea month agoWhile external applicants have a 1 in 200 shot at landing a job, those odds skyrocket to 1 in 25 with a referral from a current employee. This is fueling an “underground market” in which workers get paid by strangers and by their employers for successful referrals, Bloomberg reports. Apps that facilitate this practice note that it’s legal, but some employers warn that it could kill off referral programs altogether.124
Eric McMahonea month agoI missed my first flight to LA yesterday and had to catch another. I was so upset, but now I know why! When I finally got to LAX baggage claim, I went to the bathroom to check my little makeup and I heard a woman crying so hard. I was wondering if I should say something like, 'It’s gonna be okay,' but I was nervous and she was speaking Spanish so I didn’t know if she’d even understand me. I left and came back to the bathroom like four times while I was waiting for my bags to come down (full flight), and I heard her say, 'But the bus doesn’t come until tomorrow.' My heart dropped, so I asked her if she had Zelle or CashApp. She said no. So I asked her if I could pay for a hotel until tomorrow and she stopped crying and opened the stall door AND I SAW THE SLEEPING KIDS. I felt so happy to help her, knowing I'd just be spending my little money on bullsh*t. She rode with me to the Marriott and I got her a room. I wanted to share this because I kept thinking, 'HOW MANY PEOPLE CAME INTO THE BATHROOM, HEARD HER CRYING FOR HOURS, DIDN'T KNOW THERE WERE KIDS, AND KEPT GOING?' I’m glad I said something because she was super sweet and appreciative and she had babies with her."115
Eric McMahonea month ago50 Cent says, "My son Marquise is 27 and still asking for child support. I give him $10,800 monthly, but he says it's not enough." "Success cost me my relationship with Marquise. At 27, he should be ashamed to ask for child support. He thinks being 50 Cent's son means he doesn't have to work. I offered to set up a business for him to earn $1 million a month, but he refused. He has an entitlement mentality, thinking my money is his. It hurts to see him so irresponsible. I keep saying this publicly, hoping he'll be ashamed and start working. No matter how rich you are, never let your kids feel your money belongs to them." Moral lesson :Some of us at 17 we hustled on our own. I have been working since I was 15 years old. Sorry my son or not, I respect work!111
