The problem is he came to America and listen to Americans. We don’t have that many Welsh people here. So, we don’t know what an ethnic Welsh person looks like.

On the other hand, I come from a very white family that maintained the standard, pernicious Cherokee princess myth, and when my brother got tested we found out our family had more Neanderthal blood in us than anything else besides white folks. So, not everyone has a lengthy history of hidden white-passing ancestors,…

Don’t the Welsh descend from Iberic people and share DNA with the modern Basques? Dude, your curly hair and not as pasty skin don’t mean you have black ancestry.

I’m guessing by testing the bones at the gravesite and see if it’s a match to the skull?

The point is to become a society where a panel of 9 women on the supreme court is no more surprising than having 9 men on the supreme court.

Yes from everything I’ve seen about archeology it seems to be one of those niche areas that has a long history of and overwhelmingly attracts women, like crystallography.

What are you smoking? If you look at all 20 pitchers with 30+ saves in 2015, you will find exactly two that had a K/9 rate lower than 8.0.

I mean, that’s like asking how many women or minorities are republicans. It seems insane that they would be but....there seem to be a good amount of people happy to betray their own best interests in order to make some money.

I mean, if you take the dumb reductionist viewpoint, then they’re exactly the same, in the way that a beach ball and a battleship are the same thing because they both float on water (apples and oranges are both fruit, after all).

Can we as a commentariat agree to STOP

Here’s the thing: if that transwoman was on that stage claiming she had been born and lived her whole life as a ciswoman (and should be speaking for and representing ciswomen, to boot), yes, she would catch a raft of shit and be called a liar. Transwomen are women, but 99% of them aren’t claiming they have the lived…

Oh hey look, the inevitable comparison to trans issues comment that’s present on every single article about this nutty white lady!

The instantaneous look of dread here is AMAZING

Letterman a pedophile? Where did that come from?

When I hear about these events, the only thing I care about is that none of the horsies get hurt.

This is from wikipedia:

The Queen Mother could have taken the princesses and waited out the war in Canada, but elected to stay in London to boost the people’s morale. That’s a true sense of duty. When Buckingham Palace was bombed, she said they could now hold up their heads when visiting bombed neighborhoods. It was very important for the…

She’s not so much dressed as upholstered.

Am I terrible for not loathing the Queen? She can’t help being born a symbol; I don’t follows English Royalty or care about gossip, but even through osmosis she’s not been described as cruel or greedy or philandering or anything. I don’t think she’s a lizard-person or a psychopath, just a frightened young woman of…

I never noticed til now, but it looks like a fancy toilet seat.
