Read More How A Former “Veep” Producer Is Changing Comedy For Women
With PYPO (Put Your Pretty On), an online comedy platform for women, Stephanie Laing is trying to provide opportunities that she never had.
Stephanie Laing recalls the moment she started to think about doing more than just producing some of the most popular comedies on television—such as Eastbound and Down, the first four seasons of Veep, and Danny McBride’s upcoming HBO series Vice Principals.

Giphy’s New Tool Lets You GIF Anything On Your Desktop
With a new tool called “Capture,” Giphy furthers its quest to own the entire GIF ecosystem.

Dream Job Alert: Cheap Taco Truck For Sale In Gorgeous Tulum, Mexico
It’s yours for less than $9,000 (or you can just swap your old Mazda for it).

Read More This Is The State Of Workplace Sexual Harassment Protections In The U.S.
Anita Hill started a national conversation about sexual harassment 25 years ago, but many U.S. employees still have no legal protections.
It’s been 25 years since Anita Hill’s allegations of sexual harassment by Clarence Thomas brought the issue into the national spotlight. Next week, HBO will release a drama starring Kerry Washington that reprises the controversy of the Justice’s Supreme Court nomination hearings in 1991. Since workplace sexual harassment has been part of the national conversation for over two decades, you might assume that the issue is basically settled, or at least that there are protections in place for all employees.
Four Reasons Why The Most Successful People Are Great Collaborators
