Hey, as long as they’re up to date on their tetanus shots! Anti-vaxxer kids have to go play in the Special Snow Globe for Special Snowflakes Who End Up With Polio and All That Stuff We Got Rid Of Decades Ago.

We climbed trees in an empty lot that was eventually designated as the new site of the Russian Embassy. Even after the land was purchased and they began clearing it, we would just sneak under the fence and play there. After a while, we got the feeling we were being watched....

Some of my happiest childhood memories are of playing with rusted out auto parts in an empty field across from my BFFs house. Zero adult supervision, sharp rusty objects, and even, one time, a cache of old playboy magazines that we studied with Talmudic attention. Keep the marsh open.

In all honesty, does anyone expect the typical rapist defense to be anything BUT “she’s a liar” and/or “she wanted it”?

A man uses his skills and several years of training for saving the life of a New Yorker in an unexpected and heroic way...

Exactly. It’s not an Indo-European language.

Sanskrit is pretty early up in the family tree, but the progenitor of Indo-European languages is unattested (it probably had no written form) and has only been partially reconstructed using statistical techniques. The common ancestor of Germanic languages is called proto-Germanic and is also unattested.

English is a Germanic language which is usually believed to be a separate clade from the Indo-Iranian languages (of which Sanskrit is one).

In other news news, there was this whatthefuckery over at CNN with the National Spelling Bee champ.

How about he doesn’t know an exact number because no one has gone through the records to count, but he’s saying it is gonna be a big number when they finally do?

I can buy that he’s not allowed to give an exact number (although I don’t see why he’s not allowed, a rant for another time), but he is allowed to give a range? That seems weird to me.

I suspect with this individual it’s all a blur where a single call from her feels like an eternity.

I think maybe lt wetter is not allowed to give the exact number, but he’s throwing the reporter a bone by confirming that it’s a number in a range that is definitely racist.

This lady, in additon to being a racist, sounds like a special class of fruit loop (O pioneer, if you move to a predominantly black neighborhood, maybe expect to see black folks standing on the sidewalk outside of your house?). But WTF is going on with the Southampton police? Per the Press:

Not even remotely the same, but thanks for playing.

I’m willing to bet none of them wanted to, until they were told they couldn’t.
