So the Duchies (sp?) are comprised of huge amounts of land much of which pays rents of some kind. Like in many places you buy your house in Britain you’re also entering into a lease for the land it sits on. Plus yes tourism, farms that produce products from seeds/veggies/meats/wool etc all of which is branded and…

To address one small part of your stupidity: The more we alienate, insult or discriminate against others (whether they are undocumented immigrants, random citizens of darker than latte hues, or from whichever country Cheeto is pissed at this hour) the more ammunition we hand to those groups who actively want to do the…

I don’t know what her building rules are, but my building is no smoking. It’s so not cool for people to agree to that and then openly disregard it and make out like their neighbors are the assholes when they complain. (As someone dealing with this very thing I’d be annoyed but would deal with a neighbor occasionally…

It seriously makes you a little insane. I’d be tempted to put the smoker torturing * me on blast if I thought it would do any good. I pay nowhere near the kind of money Hillary Duff does either.

Is this the same nutter who made a lifesize Christian Grey that Graham Norton had Jamie Dornan taste?

The PBS channel near me is already advertising that they’re rebroadcasting everything at 11 am. Which lazy me lurves.

It’s not his look exactly but something about him rubs me the wrong way and gives me the wibblies. While I don’t think he’s a harasser/#metoo candidate if you told me he kept clowns in his basement for pleasure? Would totally buy it.

There’s a op-doc film about kids visiting their mothers in prison on the NYTimes website. It is heartbreaking. One of the kids who can’t be more than 10 says something as they leave like “well I guess I’m getting used to hurting.”

Please tell me that roo in the top pic is called Burt Reynolds. Please.

Recently read Doing Harm by Maya Dusenbery and it was infuriating to read that many doctors are taught (either overtly or through implied knowledge) that women are faking symptoms, over-reporting pain and are in general just pains in the ass that doctors have to put up with but not respect. Times are starting to…

I’m firmly in the not my problem camp when it comes to peanuts in public. But my bigger question is why a kid was eating in a shopping cart. Or in a store. It is a pet peeve of mine seeing people eating in a store - especially the ones grabbing produce to taste it. That’s nasty. And if you/your kid is so hungry give…

For serious. This bullshit about how you’re a slacker if you do things like see daylight when coming or leaving work are so toxic. It’s what burned me out but good because I bought into the whole work yourself to death and you will be rewarded. Lol. Rewarded with 6 times more work and somehow less pay. FUCCCCCCK that.

Tipping makes it easy for assholes to be assholes though. There’s a whole article in the NYTimes today where servers are talking about how they hated when X behavior happened, but they put up with it because if they didn’t they’d lose the tip and they couldn’t afford that. Ranging from outright groping to asking for…

If you pass the 15 week law then you best open up clinics in every town in the state and make it affordable as hell. Oh that wouldn’t be protecting the unborn? Then fuck all y’all. I want to see a bill proposing mandatory vasectomies by age 15. The state will pay to store the jizz of every man and will pay for all…

Apparently most over the counter fish oil capsules have been poorly processed and the fish oil has gone rancid before being encapsulated for use. Which means not only aren’t the supposed benefits being transmitted to you but also that some really bad compounds are being processed by your body instead.

Ding ding ding we have a winner. She knows damn well those clips will enrage the base and make them that much blinder to the shit her daddy’s doing.

Nah. Call it the Joopsies.

Oh you’ve seen my dad at the gym? Sigh. He wouldn’t even buy sneakers to work out in insisting that his LL Bean clodhoppers were fine.

Does anyone else find the whole quad thing...boring? (I think the same thing about the women’s insistence on shoving eight thousand triples in their programs too) I mean they’re absolutely feats of athleticism but the men’s routines heavy on quads don’t seem to tie the jumps to their music, they barely make an effort…
