Do you ever have déjà vu? Many Google users may worry they do this week. With Groundhog Day arriving on Wednesday, the search engine giant poked fun at users looking for information on whether a small weather-forecasting mammal in West Central Pennsylvania saw his shadow.

It’s so ironic, and also … let me find just the right word … so darn gratifying. A man who spent the whole week demeaning a woman, going on any platform that would have him to criticize her, turning tail and hiding when he got pushback for being sexist and loud and wrong. It served absolutely no purpose last week to highlight the outdated-yet-still-breathing brand of misogyny employed by Jeff Garcia, because it wasn’t new. Garcia wasn’t the first man to cry that a woman who never played… Source link
