there is frightening similar rhetoric between the two, though. blame all your problems on the ‘others’, take no personal responsibility for yourself, assert that change will be wonderful, no matter what hundreds of scientists, economists, politicians, and bankers say ...

yup, immediately farage is there saying “i never said the £350 million sent to the eu would be spent on the nhs, i said it -could- be spent on the nhs” ... how people are still so dumb and trusting of politicians in this country is beyond me.

the uk has to be the only country ever to willingly vote for a recession. we are idiots.

well, congratulations uk - you had your chance to redeem your reputation as europe’s drunk racist uncle, and you done played yourself! after years of voting against your own best interest and electing conservative government after conservative government, weathering cuts to jobs, housing, the nhs, and all social…

yup. and don’t assume what is or isn’t ok to do. some alcoholics don’t mind others drinking around them, some can’t even smell booze without it being a trigger. either response is totally fine - just ask. likely the person is already feeling awkward about it, so laying it out on the table helps you both.

it does seem questionable that someone who allegedly knew about the attack would so plainly open up to authorities about her involvement. like maybe this person doesn’t understand the ramifications of her actions and is just trying to do what she thinks is right or has been told is the right thing to do by the dudes…

100%. When I first read about this dude saying more guns would have saved people in the Bataclan I thought “OK, this dude is obviously not coping with his PTSD well and probably isn’t thinking straight” but then I read some of his other hateful bullshit and wow. I particularly like how he uses Arab and Muslim…

If this ever happens to you, please call a beekeeper! We need bees! And they love bees! And they will also make sure you don’t end up like Thomas Jay (although maybe those were wasps? I always get some dust in my eye at that part and forget the finer details)

I love my country deeply but I will never miss a chance to explain our national and ongoing shame to anyone who jokes that Canada is all sunshine and lollipops. The only way we can change what’s happening is to keep having (and eventually changing) the conversation on how we are going to fix this. Thank you for…

Youre probably thinking of Robert Pickton. He was charged with 20 murders, convicted of 6, and is suspected of many more. He’s in jail, but most of his victims were from southern BC, like a 10 hour drive south of where many of these other women went missing. It doesn’t rule him out, but it does make him a little less…

So many people are happy to agree that residential schools are Canada’s great shame but then push everything that happened in and as a result of them under the rug and think life should be fine now. No, closing residential schools didn’t magically end the systemic racism against First Nations and pretending that it…

“Pranks” are the socially acceptable way to get away with abuse.

there are a couple different kinds. usually it’s beef broth with veggies or blood sausage and always with kimchi (duh!). koreans are intense about hangover cures, drinking all kinds of disgusting “tonics” to try to solve them. i sampled many, and did not find any to actually help (but when you’re 2 bottles of soju in…

Start your own! A Galentine’s type of thing. That way you can be in (or out of) control of the hot mess. Though I agree it’s hard to envision without things getting really weird or basically just having to explain to everyone how a friendship ceremony is not the same as a lesbian wedding.

“I absolutely 100 percent, all in my heart, within my family, within everyone that was on my side. They all said, ‘There was no way that you should be convicted,’” he said

Hallmark is literally dying for this day to take off and be a thing. Haha

I didn’t really like Breaking Bad (gasp!) but Better Call Saul is flipping great!

I completely agree with you about the partner as best friend thing. I love the shit out of my boyfriend and our relationship and friendship, but he has only been in my life for 4 years. My best friends have been there for 20+ there’s just no contest (and it shouldn’t be a contest)

Oh I’m sure there are a lot of factors at play in their divorce, I was just amazed how flirty the two of them came across in light of today’s announcement. Maybe she was just trying to take his mind off it as a friend; who knows?

It’s true, McAvoy is mega charming and I love him and can see why others would/do, too. Maybe JLaw just wants to be the reason for his divorce ...
