Fuck you, Kinja. Stick it up your goddamn ass, you puke-brained, double-posting motherfucker.

I remember you, Erin Ryan, when you were just a wee little sproglet with a funny upside-down avatar and a way with words that no other Jezebel commenter could match. I remember you. I watched you grow and grow, and felt so much tender pride in your talent and shit-talking that you’d think they were my own fucking

The short answer: adding a million more people to roughly the same urban footprint. That and 1500 years will do it.

You are a very good person. Thank you.

Me. It made me happy. You have a good dog. A very handsome shithead. Thank you for sharing him.

I think every last one of us makes a career out of presenting the best version of ourselves to the world. That’s not dishonesty. That’s how grown-ups navigate life.

I’m pretty sure she was a lady, too. Good dog, Diesel. You were a good, good dog.

If you’d like to fling open the windows to the marvellous world of Joseph Gordon Levitt, have a look at his work in Inception, in which he plays a delightfully uptight and fastidious fixer for Leonardo DiCaprio. Or Brick, a nifty high school neo-noir. Or his beautifully low-key turn in The Dark Knight Rises. And I

Of all the words in all the world, the saddest ones are these: the uploader has not made this video available in your country.

Nah, the raids are to do with a larger criminal barney between rival football club fans, not the attempted eagle-punching in particular. Although frankly, even with a lot of careful planning and fastidious preparation, I can’t imagine that six people trying to deck an eagle would have any more success than one. Though

Why do sports teams in North America embrace non-native mascots like lions and tigers and leprechauns? Have you used up all your own carnivorous predators and creepy magical homunculi?

More or less. Estuary English covers territory that’s a little more diffuse, but the general effect is much the same. Adele’s speaking voice isn’t really Essex, exactly. It’s more a blend of a couple of different London-adjacent accents than it is one single thing in particular. So using a broader term like Estuary

None. Leslie Odom’s a beautiful, phenomenally talented actor/singer/dancer who’s starring as Aaron Burr in Hamilton on Broadway. He’s also about five foot eight. Lovely human being, no help at all on the basketball court.

Since Sunday. My Dad used it to descibe changing the kitty litter when it hadn’t been done in three weeks. It was a moment of purest scrunching joy for the cat, but a horrifying glimpse of armageddon for Dad. He still hasn’t quite recovered.

I mean, if you’d like to have a discussion about semantic and linguistic morphology, we can do that, but the original point was merely to affirm that compound and phrasal words do indeed have specific memetic relevance which require individual definition, and have long had a place in dictionaries. Dictionaries and

It’s ferociously difficult to separate fear of an infectious disease from someone who carries it. It’s a fundamental human defense mechanism that takes a lot of work to over-ride, even when rational experience and knowledge are present. It’s vitally important work, because the entire point of empathy is that it helps

Certainly one could. Some people do. But usage, as always, depends on the user and the context they’re communicating in.

Yup. That was my point.

I am STILL laughing at this. Fine, fine work, sir.

Sadly, I’ve no pearls to clutch, but I have just had a quick scan of your comment history, and it is impressively fixated on Justin Bieber and the length, width and girth of his penis. It’s so lovely when people have hobbies they really care about. I love that. You keep being your Bieber-penis-enthusiast self.
