Why should they? Everybody knows that “the marital act” is shameful and only ever to be mentioned by a resigned mother to her bewildered and despondent child-bride daughter on the night of her wedding, at which she will be given to a man who learned about it when an uncle took him to the local bawdy-house and…
As always:
It’s largely due to our tendency to conflate sociopathy with strong leadership.
Ready for some avant-garde naming shit? I post this every time this question comes up, because I am a consummate elitist.
The more I watch them, the more I’m convinced that DNC:Progressivism::PETA:animal rights.
Finnland has also been running a pilot program with about 2,000 recipients.
WELL. It turns out that I was incorrect, thanks to this helpful language blog.
I wish I’d known this as a kid, when I got hauled into the principal’s office on the regular, it now turns out wrongly, for “inappropriate language.”
No, because it derives from “pusillanimous,” a fancy word for “coward,” and is not a reference to female genitalia (which, as anyone who has suffered/powered through menstruation and/or childbirth will no doubt tell you, is one of the last bodily organs that should come to mind as a metaphor for weakness).
I’m going to go out on a limb here and suggest that one reason might be that DAMN. is pointedly literary. For a prize that is mostly known for print and text media, I suspect it’s easier for them to make value-judgments when there’s a text involved that has distinctly literary ambitions.
Governor, the ever-excellent Rachel Parris can help you step up your “apology” game:
My sister’s middle his her maternal grandmother’s maiden. I am very much in favor if people’s names being a rolling aggregate of ancestors’ names; it’s a nice low-key way to keep patriarchy at bay, among other things.
Russian Conspiracy Twitter be like:
1: “so, I bet there’s going to be some heavy kompromat dropping soon! What do you think Putin’s got on him?”
2: “hope you like grainy video.”
God Save That Mustache
Hunter S. Thompson left this world far too early.
Well, if Russia is any indication, it’s entirely possible for a country to slide into a kleptocratic Revanchist dystopia and bleed the country’s wealth out to offshore accounts for decades at least.
If my father, who said right after the election, “[That Asshole] would never do anything to harm this nation or its security” right after serving up some but-her-emails, ever manages to get me to talk to him again (doubt it), that very sentence is going to be lain on the table in front of him and I’ll explain that…
Well, because I love you, I went and looked up the ACLU’s page on school walkouts. It says this: if you walk out during school hours, you can be punished for an unexcused absence, but nothing more. Any extra punishment based on the political nature of your absence is unconstitutional.
Protip: Caffrey cannot legally be punished by his school for engaging in political protest, even during school hours on school grounds. If the school punishes him, he should give the local ACLU a call; I’m sure they’ll be all to happy to take up the case, and the district will find itself on the losing end of a…
Guys, the 2020 primaries are almost here! Can you feel the excitement??
