I looked up prince phillip’s wiki page to find his age, and saw that he is from the house of Schleswig-Holstein-Sonderburg-Glücksburg, for which I think you have to put on lederhosen just to pronounce correctly.

“Not wanting other races and cultures to invade your culture doesn’t mean I hate their race. Just means I don’t want their cultures invading mine”

Next will be a Muslim Pm. And a black king

i legitimately and literally learned that megan markle is a person of color on jez/theroot.

He’s a 96-year-old aristocrat. What the hell is her excuse?

Markle’s “seed” will “taint our royal family,” and that “[t]his is Britain, not Africa.”

It’s relevant, there are a lot of comments on this topic, and you’re kind of doing a public service given that a) a lot of people don’t know about that report and b) ordinary citizens should be doing a whole lot more to get their Representatives and Senators to get off their collective butts and deal with Zuckerberg…

I wonder if this has anything to do with why she’s running:

As a trans woman, I’m already 100% done with this. It’s a foolish publicity stunt that will do nothing but possibly weaken an actual good Democratic senator and unleash a resurgent transphobic backlash for people who cannot (and do not want to) separate her identity stuff from her past transgressions. Made worse by…

“I don’t really want her near national security documents.”

Yeah, and she’s running against the Senator who commissioned this:

For fucks sake.

This isn’t a contest for me: I’ll be voting for Ben Cardin as I have before. He’s a great Senator with a strong liberal track record.

Hope she lives a life that she can be proud of, but this is stupid. If anything else, the diplomatic cables she leaked were a clear case of Assange taking advantage of someone in a fragile state and getting her to dump everything she could possibly find.

It also requires competency. In what reality do you think that Manning offers that?

My first semester of college, I am living at home to save money (lived 30 minutes from school). Bumped into a girl I had known from high school who I had always joked around with. After a few minutes of chit-chat she leans up to whisper ‘Always wanted to know you better.’ so I suggested we go to dinner the next night.

Heh. Absolutely true story. It’s the late ‘80s (this is important), and I’m with my long-term GF (about my age, 22/23 or so), in her bedroom at her folks’ house. Sometime about midnight-ish, rowdiness starts to happen, and the GF is pining for some candle-play. So the tapers come out (we were duly diligent, so they…

So I had one of those hookups that everyone has in college, with someone who is pretty enough that you feel like you’ve completely outkicked your coverage, but unfortunately so vapid that you can’t deal with actually talking to them all that much.

I don’t know what I did but later a lawyer gave me a check for $130,000.

Regardless of whether you have The Flu or A Cold, please, for the love of all that is holy or not, stay the hell home. I know very well that this is not possible for everyone. Some employers are assholes, some benefits suck, so not everyone can do this. And that’s 100% not OK.
