It’s cute... but for the sake of the kid’s adult prospects it would’ve been better as a nickname for a name like Brigitte, Bernadette, or Roberta, or a similar name it could have been derived from.

Daniel Shaver is mentioned downthread, and that reminded me that the officer who murdered him had messages engraved on his gun (“you’re fucked” and “molon labe”, an Ancient Greek phrase meaning “come and take them”). Writing messages on guns? Doesn’t that sound familiar? Like a certain white nationalist terrorist (who…

Yeah, I saw the name and already knew. Googled to confirm:

I feel so much better about my rolling abilities, now.

When I read that, I was like “that’s it? That’s how you assuage your guilty conscience for getting this guy off for raping a child, and making a lot of money for doing it?”

Several of those Boy Scout troop leaders took the whole “what’s in people’s pants” thing way too far... as in, sexually abusing the kids in their charge. 

There really should just be air travel PSAs from airports and airlines (because the issues mainly arise on the planes) stating that passengers should anticipate that babies are a fact of life, and that babies will be onboard planes, doing baby things, and to plan accordingly for their auditory comfort. Then earplugs,…

I’m not sure that I would compare him to a Confederate general, just because ew, the (U.S.) Confederacy, and all that implies... but he’s definitely a folk hero. I’m trying to think of an American folk hero he better resembles, as there probably is one or two he has more in common with.

Or just marketing gimmicks.

Edited: nevermind, you already answered this.

She has the brassy variant of what I call “crowbar brows”. Usually I see them pencilled in really dark. I just don’t get why someone who is otherwise so mundane would voluntarily adopt such an unnatural eyebrow shape and think that, yes, this is a good look.

No doubt if she were still with us, my Oma would approve. The woman was fond of a tipple.

Yes, but even better: garlic ghee. Ghee’s not just clarified butter, it’s clarified butter which has had the milk solids toasted to a nice brown, imparting their flavour before being separated from the butter fat.

Basically the mayo trick, but from scratch, and with garlic. *Droooooooooooools* 🤤🤤🤤

I still prefer butter for grilled cheese... but garlic-infused, clarified butter (or better yet: ghee) would be awesome, I’m sure.

Or an uncle.

Brexit is stupid and impossible as all hell, and really should be cancelled (whether or not that’s better done by another referendum, I don’t know). They had better not go causing the Troubles Part 2!

Manufactured bullshit. Gossip rags pitting women against each other, as always. They don’t really do this, when it comes to men. I’m quite certain that Priyanka realizes the limitations which are now placed on Meghan, between royal duties and her pregnancy. I’m sure Meghan sent her a nice wedding gift and a card…

With an almost straight face, too... just the faintest hint of a smirk.
