Miki Agrawal, the co-founder of Thinx — a company that makes “period underwear” — doesn’t think much of boundaries. “I just love the taboo space,” she told New York last year, of her mission to (profitably) destigmatize menstruation. And in a promotional video for the product, she said, “My favorite thing to talk about are the things you’re not supposed to talk about.” According to a complaint filed late last week by a former employee (and echoed in interviews with multiple current and former employees), those things have included: the size and shape of her employees’ breasts, an employee’s nipple piercings, her own sexual exploits, her desire to experiment with polyamory, her interest in entering a sexual relationship with one of her employees, and the exact means by which she was brought to female ejaculation. Her alleged boundary-breaking in the workplace isn’t just verbal. Per the detailed complaint, filed with the City of New York Commission on Human Rights, Agrawal also touched an employee’s breasts and asked her to expose them, routinely changed clothes in front of employees, and conducted meetings via videoconference while in bed, apparently unclothed. (She also is said in the filing to have shared nude photos of herself and others — “including but not limited to her fiancé” — with staff.) At least once, she supposedly FaceTimed into a meeting from the toilet.
The complaint, brought by Chelsea Leibow, the 26-year-old former head of public relations at the company — whose distinctive Thinx PR emails acquired some renown — also describes a culture of fear and a pattern of ageism, in which members of the mostly female, mostly 20-something staff were routinely referred to as “children,” with the few employees in their 30s tagged “nannies.” The filing — which also names the company’s COO and CFO, for their failure to address repeated complaints about Agrawal’s behavior — comes on the heels, just over a week ago, of Agrawal’s leaving from her post as CEO (as first reported in Jezebel) and the publication of an article in Racked that made clear that, despite the company’s feminist branding and mission, the women who worked there felt exploited by low pay and substandard benefits. The complaint notes that the only two employees who had evidently successfully negotiated higher salaries qwere men.
This story just goes on and on. Miki seems to have a major case of being an asshole.
I am fine with Marisa Tomei playing any role in any movie.
the next avengers should have her playing every role, except Thanos
Thanos should be Tilda Swinton
I'm sure Marisa Tomei is a wonderful person.
Horrible casting choice for Aunt May though. I'm never going to be able to look at her without going "that's not Aunt May, that's an actress"
I liked the choice because honestly old lady May was played, lets have some sexy middle aged May.
Going by this logic Peter parker should be an old man played by Clint Eastwood.
But I would watch this movie!
Old Man Spider-Man
Well, Old Man Logan made the switch to the big screen well, so I'm guessing there's at least one person in the industry wondering if Reign could work too.
(It wouldn't)

I'm not a comic guy but isn't Logan markedly different from the comic?

Not to trivialize, but this seems like a weird hill to die on.
I mean, I admit I haven't seen the film yet, but I'm not sure I actually understand the problem. Marisa Tomei isn't a 20-something. She's an older lady. Yes, she is a beautiful one, but she is not some buxom youngster that totally reimagines the aesthetic concept of Aunt May. I don't see this as an example of casting hottie totties in roles that should have otherwise gone to an older gentlewoman.
edit: I mean an older Aunt May looked like a younger Aunt May once. She was just May at some point. Or Miss May. Or whatever.
look she just looks like a two year old she still has all the wisdom of a 70 year old woman
life's a game that you're bound to lose / like using a hammer to pound in screws
fuck up once and you break your thumb / if you're happy at all then you're god damn dumb
that's right we're on a fucked up cruise / God is dead but at least we have booze
bad things happen, no one knows why / the sun burns out and everyone dies

Also this kid got in one car race and his mom sent him to live with his dad...in JAPAN?!
What
I mean did you miss the part where they have to keep moving towns because he gets into trouble wherever they go, and sending him to live with his dad in Japan is part of a deal she made to keep him out of juvey this one last time
I'm not saying it's the most ideal nor "realistic" logic, but the movie does adhere to a certain internal consistency, inasmuch as any Fast and the Furious movie does

um i think the correlation is the exact opposite of what you're implying
Like there was an actual chip that enabled you to speak to cops more Irishly.
It had actual upgrades. Upgrading it to like 2.0 or 3.0 actually gave you more Irishy comments.
"Sure and begorrah" was actually in one of them.
To top it off, I think they were in a goddamned Donut Shop.
Do they ever mention her age? Outside of her being "Aunt Hottie"?
and it is this one:

They're gaslighting this poor statistics person in this PoI episode.
Well, Old Man Logan made the switch to the big screen well, so I'm guessing there's at least one person in the industry wondering if Reign could work too.
(It wouldn't)
Wasn't this basically the premise of Spider-Man: Reign
what's wrong with this?
I'm not a comic guy but isn't Logan markedly different from the comic?
The old "do I eat the potato or make whiskey out of it" dilemma
This is actually true
wait i thought you were against making her fuckable
Man the new bosses seem just as bad as the old ones.
Alternate post.
I've seen these videos...

Nothing. But there's nothing wrong with younger May either. Why is that bad?
Like, can spider-man not be different ages either? Or black? What's wrong with a little change?
It was going to happen sooner or later
She looks like she's in her 70s. And she stays that age. Like how old were peter's parents supposed to be?
pleasepaypreacher.net
What
How old is Aunt May in Civil War supposed to be?
Well she's his aunt, not his grandmother. Tomei was 50 (51?) when it was filmed.
Makes sense to me.

Tell me, chu, how much do you miss my giant cyber toilet?
Are you only skimming? It's made clear that he's a problem child and she can't handle him anymore, that this is only the straw that breaks the back
So she sends him to his (military) dad, hoping he'll impart discipline
v much
My days are without song, now
The plot line has lots of twists and turns, you should probably be watching more attentive.
It's by far the most complex of the series.
He was Zero Cool. He crashed 1,507 muscle cars in one day.
This is amazing.
You could be Aunt May!
I mean did you miss the part where they have to keep moving towns because he gets into trouble wherever they go, and sending him to live with his dad in Japan is part of a deal she made to keep him out of juvey this one last time
