It happened to me in an Irish pub (not in Ireland if that matters). By a total stranger who hadn’t even bothered with ‘hello’ first. Most unexpected and unwelcome. It was such a shock I just froze and couldn’t say anything.

I watched it and thought Kaine hit it out of the park. I stayed off Twitter for the duration but when I looked at my feed was astonished to see that the consensus was that Pence won. He was clearly lying through his teeth and on his back foot the entire time while Kaine addressed every point slung at him with…

It’s kinda just fireworks from the end of October to the beginning of January. Our nation (Britain) is composed of pyros. The only place worse I’ve been is Honolulu on New Years; basically visibility is zero feet for the smoke (best place on the planet for Halloween though; Waikiki gets to Mardi Gras level of…

Someone needs to interview Robert Zubrin about Musk’s plan. Is he even still alive?

What, no further replies? Have you admitted defeat?

At the ass store where I get all the rest of my ass-themed utensils and implements.

I thought I was the only one who heard ‘bigly’! Oh thank you for the verification.

I just had a big-ass bowl of popcorn.

It happens whenever someone adds a carriage return in the space they are typing where the see the edge of the space, just as they would at the edge of the paper on an old-timey typewriter. Great clue for figuring out the rough age range they are in (the answer is old).

I’d also like to say that words like cis and het are pretty standard language for liberals, I’m not just making these words up. If you’re going to dip a toe in a liberal swimming pool like Jez, you should at least be familiar with some of our terms (and Google is your friend). We already think you’re an ignorant…

You’re thinking of that $150k as a personal loss to you. Try thinking of it in terms of what you gain.

What is ‘normal’? There are so many ways to describe a human being that not one of us would meet the definition of median on all of those axes. Would you describe someone with Down Syndrome who is heterosexual as normal because they are het, or abnormal because they have more chromosomes than you? Would you describe…

That’s HILARIOUS. See Apple in Ireland. Ridiculously low tax rate, so low that Apple paid effectively nothing, and meanwhile they sit on an enormous cache of cash in the many, many billions. If Apple plowed that money back into their business or even shed some dividends for their investors, then maybe, maybe you’d…

There are plenty of fiscal conservatives who are socially progressive. Not everyone is theocratically motivated (and it’s ironic that Xtian conservatives are socially regressive given that Jesus was inclusive and socially progressive for his time...tending to the disabled, treating prostitutes as people worthy of…

A fetus is not a child. Abortion rights have had tangible and large economic benefits. When women have full choice over when and how to bear and raise children, they choose to have them when it is financially and emotionally viable to have them. That means there are far fewer unloved and neglected children. It means…

That’s a comparison I can feel proud of. Love her.

Cis == cisgender, which means that your physiological gender matches your psychological gender.

Speaking as someone with Native American ancestry, maybe you can start with yourself.

Why are you assholes so allergic to compassion?

I love Fake or Fortune so I know the personalities involved; I just can’t see Bendor Grovesnor saying ‘bloke’. Man is far too classy for that.
