“Country matters” had a very different meaning back then.

“That attack failed—an attempt to burn down Spain’s main port was aborted when the sailors captured a warehouse full of wine and got drunk instead of attacking.”

Not only that, but it’s claimed that King James commissioned that translation as a concession to the Church so he could get them off his back about his relationship with Villiers. So the King of England’s gay affair would have been the catalyst for the King James Bible.

The bits where tittering is intended tend to be much more crass (as long as you know the slang of the time at least).

They say her eyes are bluer than the famous Stone of Galveston

But what’s the evidence that Shakespeare didn’t intend that tittering? He certainly wasn’t above innuendo and may not have been straight himself.

It’s pretty ironic how the major English translation of the Bible, which has often been used as an excuse to oppress queer people, was named after a king who was probably queer himself.

It has always made me feel like a bad feminist, but I’ve always kinda actively disliked Dunham. She seems like such a shit stirrer to me.

My thoughts exactly. Plus, is the Fertility Industrial Complex a thing? Or is it just some word salad Dunham made up?

I have always been very meh dgaf about Dunham, but for some reason, her saying people were triggered makes me hate her.

Lena Dunham said (via Twitter) that some of her friends were “triggered” by Kylie’s pregnancy? Why? What does that even mean? Why would one person care so much about the uterine occupancy status of a person they don’t even know?

Also Ryan Seacrest is not hot. He’s attractive in the sense that his face is symmetrical, but he is not hot. I don’t want to imagine Seacrest fucking me or anyone. He is a human Kermit the Frog. I want Seacrest to sell me toothpaste.

Guess I’ll go down to the fixit store and fix Emmit.

F*** Plinko. It just gives me ulcers!

“the Wheel (you know, the one they spin to see who’s going to the Showcase Showdown)“

I was going to post a link, but it looks like the guy only won $31,500.

“...presumably triggering an emergency call to the wheel-fixing guy.”

Confession: I’ve wanted to spin this wheel since I was a small child. If I were on The Prince is Right, I would not care about winning, or the games, I would just want to spin that damn wheel.

Playing Plinko might come in at a distant second.
