@KathrynforAD @BarredinDC I did as I faced open discrimination before, being told I would not be promoted to a manager because she needed "a big, tall black guy who can yell at people."
She got it. She also go a slew of sexual harassment complaints and had to fire him after 9 months, but she got it :-)

@BarredinDC I’ve actually wondered if short guys got better jobs/more offers during the pandemic because of virtual interviews.

As a short dude (5’7 but still tallest in my immediate family) this is a wild piece

A few months ago, I flew out to Las Vegas to report a story about the boom of rich guys who secretly got leg lengthening surgery during Covid. Now they're re-entering the world 3 to 6 inches taller (and mostly not telling anyone lol) gq.com/story/leg-leng…

@BarredinDC The ratio actually does not favor dudes here when you only look at family rearing ages. Single men aged 18-40 vastly outnumber single women of that age group. It only skews when you include women 45+, which includes widows, as women outlive men

Some replies from fellow short dudes that this doesn’t ring true. I wonder if DC area white collar/nerds are shorter than other major metros but the ratios favor dudes here so doesn’t seem the same issue as other places.

EXCLUSIVE: Metro is considering more restrictive faregates as a way to cut down on fare evasion. The transit agency estimates it loses over $25 million a year from riders skipping out on fares. #wmata @nbcwashington nbcwashington.com/news/local/far…

@casualaudacity @Cernovich Disinformation is a made up word to discredit opposing views.

Was in this movie theater as they set off fireworks. Thought it was a theater mass shooting. They should rethink their games where CCW holders exist. It's a changing world

@LandGoose VIDEO from TONIGHT at Fenton Street and Ellsworth Drive/the Ellsworth Plaza (Downtown Silver Spring, MD). Video taken looking towards/down what would be the Ellsworth Pedestrian Plaza. 🎥 borrowed from Instagram.

Not sure if this is good or bad. It means they will likely be reopening post-pandemic, but will no longer be under local control.

@wclinton91 @DavidLewisTN @TuckerCarlson Confused me, too. Search shows that quinine (in tonic water) is a naturally-occurring chemical that Washington gave as an anti-malarial. Hydroxychloroquine is a synthetic drug modeled after the effects of quinine.

@DavidLewisTN @TuckerCarlson Did she say George Washington gave his troops hydroxychloroquine?
