Seconding the Norm McDonald rec. Even when he goes off on tangents, which he occasionally does, he’s still a very worthwhile follow.

Needs more “vocal fry” but that’s a pretty good summation.

Ungreyed, for your sense of humour.

Agreed. It’s really hard to empathize with such a boo-hoo claim. For me, “I believe that I’m so much smarter than I’m portrayed” translates into “I’m so much smarter than I (willingly choose to) portray myself. There’s a huge difference and it’s pretty nervy to try to frame herself as somehow underestimated,…

Don’t mind me. I was just getting sarcastic with the spammer until the comment (eventually) got deleted. (Some of them are not bots, from what I’ve seen and heard).

But did your best friend’s step-sister get engaged or married in a different country/culture?

Can someone explain why women are defending this term?

There is more going on than Jezebel would have you think by their reporting.....

I’m so glad someone else made the observation that those two profile photos are rather dated. (I’ve already commented elsewhere to that effect).

I take it that’s not last night’s dinner disagreeing with you? ;=)

It was very peaceful and quite lovely. In fact, the only “annoyance” was the media, some of whom failed to grasp that most people in attendance had no desire to be on camera, explaining what brought them there. (I was, like, you have got to be kidding). At any rate, it just seemed more fitting that members of…

Jun Lin human remains were eventually cremated, in preparation for the funeral service, but what made things all the more heart-breaking was the fact that — as per his mother’s distraught and insistent pleas — a full-body burial is an imperative of the Buddhist faith. (I’m paraphrasing here but this was,…

And an Ontarian.

Yes, it was unfathomably traumatizing — and anger-inducing — for the mother, the father and the sister. I ended up attending the first public memorial for Jun Lin. Not because I’m an “ambulance-chaser” but because the call had gone out on social media and radio stations for locals to show up as a gesture of…

Agreed. Plus, I highly doubt Luka Magnotta resembles either of those two photos nowadays. Reporters who covered the murder trail implied that he’d really gone to seed in the looks department. (I’m sure their phrasing was more polite but the message was clear).

That is precisely why. I’ve never watched the video but the New Order angle was big news around the time of the discovery of its existence.

How bloody bold of you!

Although Martin and Gary Kemp — from Spandau Ballet — starred in The Krays in the early 90s and did a first-rate job, my gut tells me Tom Hardy can carry it off, too, so much so that I’d be hard-pressed to think of another actor who could.

I’m sitting here hankering for salt-water taffy but I’m embarrassed to admit that my initial reaction to “celebrate with taffy” was: who the heck is Taffy? (I knew two kids named Taffy when I was growing up).

I’m in Canada and, believe me, plenty of feminists are similarly taken aback at how this crop-top issue is being framed and spun. It’s been the subject of a fair bit of radio conversation and it’s rather telling how many hosts and guests — who identify as feminists — seem to have so little patience for this “battle”.
