Remember when we used to say we were embarrassed that George W Bush was our President....?

This all makes total sense and I’ve never heard it broken down like this before.. The impact of Mountbatten’s assassination by the IRA can’t be overstated, really. It was gravely traumatic for the whole country if not the world — IIRC, the most high-profile casualty of the Troubles, perhaps along with Ross McWhirter.

Um, wow. That’s a substantial amount of information about the topic. That’s amazing. Thanks for this write up.

Charles and Diana’s pairing came about for much the same reason people have disaster sex - the need for human closeness and comfort during a tough time.

“You Never Can Tell” for the win.

School Days is my personal favorite, but, Chuck forgive me, nothing brings on Christmas cheer like Run, Run Rudolph.

It’s Vesey’s, but their mix is different than the ones I can find on Vesey’s website. A General Mills PR person told me they didn’t include invasive weeds, but an invasive plant expert disagreed.

I hate “wildflower” packs. HATE them. They are generic, ignore all biome diversity issues, skip right past noxious weed issues and are pretty pointless since it’s not a lack of flowers that is doing in the bees.

For those of you living in urban areas or apartment buildings, don’t think that you can’t help out the bees!

That she corrected the spelling is just so ballsy. I love it. She deserves a chocolate door knob.

Dear USA, when even the Brits are less repressed than you, then you might want to rethink things.

You magnificent son of a bitch.

If you disgorge an antelope, does that mean it’s a cantaloupe?

F*** I love this site. Thanks for this recommendation, Cheryl.

Gary Taubes’ work takes an eyeopening walk through the way the FDA, industry, and some academics previously redefined ‘healthy’. He can go more than a bit overboard at times, but the underlying story is pretty compelling.

Just cus ppl seem to be getting in a snit about Lifehacker acknowledging that ppl wear makeup...I consider myself to be intelligent and value myself based off of my accomplishments/actions, not off of my looks. That being said I think it’s fun to dress up and wear makeup *when I feel like it*. I also think that it’s…

1) the right “response” to the bull statue should be a cow statue, preferably straight out of Cow Parade.

I was raised in an atheist household (I'm 25 now), and I'm always surprised at how uncommon it is. I know lots of atheists, but all of them came to their atheism as teenagers or adults. I don't know anyone else with atheist parents.
