Charles and Camilla have always been in love from their youth. He WANTED to marry her but wasn’t allowed due to draconian Royal rules that dictated Camilla wasn’t Queen material. Both, Charles and Camilla chose to remain lovers during both of their marriages as this was acceptable in royal circles and because they…

When my daughter was inducted into National Junior Honor Society this year, I started to notice that the boys walked in alone, but the girls were all escorted by the boys. OH HELL NO! I was so irate, but I tried to set it aside for the moment, so that I could enjoy a proud moment for my daughter who had worked so…

Brits get annoyed at the American obsession with the “German heritage” of the royals, it reflects America’s weird ideas about race, ethnicity and culture, a prime example is “Irish-Americans” who don’t know a thing about the place but go around calling themselves “Irish” because a great great great grandmother…

Damon Young at the Root summed this up pretty well in his piece on Monday.

Even I, the Platonic ideal of a mediocre white man, don’t agree with myself 100% of the time. It’s honestly closer to like 45-50%.

I feel like male actors get to make a LOT more than 2 critically meh/financially unsuccessful movies before people start questioning whether their careers are over or ruined. Especially if that actor’s resume includes being the lead in a successful franchise and an Oscar win (among three other nominations). Jennifer…

My dad is a huge math nerd, so whenever I’d ask for help with my homework he’d wind up showing me all these other methods of solving the problem and explain why they were better/more efficient than the way I’d learned in class...and then he’d go off on some tangent (“now suppose you had an infinite series...”) and…

I have zero time for handwringing about these guys. Should they be able to have a basic standard of living and one or two people who enjoy them enough to keep in touch? Sure. I’m willing to engage in some advocacy on behalf of poor sex offenders in that vein. Everyone listed already has that, though.

Hell hath no fury like a boozehound scorned.

I’m a terrible person so I’d probably work on a way to mount an ice water super-soaker to a drone and then sit at the window with my binoculars, remote control and kazoo for playing “Flight of the Valkyries”.

Shhh...

Yeah, the “WTF/who ARE these people/how is that POSSIBLE” comments that make it sound like kids who don’t masturbate are exhibits in a freak show don’t feel particularly nice to read. I didn’t really know masturbation was a thing women could do until I was in college - I mean, I was vaguely aware that women…

Can we all please enjoy the hilariously targeted ad I got reading this post?

This is a definite reach.
