Show Your Work Podcast Show Your Work: The Joy of Cheer On this week’s episode of Show Your Work, Duana and I debate the word “nice”. This is because Aidy Bryant talked about “nice” in her recent interview with Vulture. Is niceness a work asset? Or is it a detriment? Is it a compliment? Or is it an insult?

Music Eminem and Grindr Last Thursday, Maria posted about the Dolly Parton challenge which like most challenges is just an excuse to shamelessly post more pictures of yourself.

The Goop Lab, however, is In Goop Health times a thousand. In Goop Health, it turns out, was By Sarah • Jan 28, 2020 01:45 pm
