Too many legs.

Trump knows he’s going to lose and is shifting into face-saving mode.

I think that “Nicholas Fifield, Rapist” needs to become a meme, as happened to our good friend Brock Turner. I would class this as a worse offence.

Not meant to be sarcastic. I haven’t seen any unintentional racism myself, but I fully accept it happens. Even the best intentioned fuck up. Recently they’ve been bringing racism to my attention, and I appreciate it.

I don’t really know one way or the other, so if Jezebel isn’t here next week I’ll know you’re right. I wanted to express appreciation for the work the staff does in raising social justice awareness. If Jezebel is closing down, it’s an even more appropriate time to say thanks, before everyone disperses. And if they…

Yeah, Penelope explained she meant that each family brings enough for a snack for 8 people. For some reason I was thinking of an adults-only singles affair, where every individual guest was turning up with 8 adult sized portions of tuna casserole. My brain does not appear to be on today.

Ah, that makes more sense. For some reason I was thinking of an adult singles party, where everyone comes on their own with enough for 8 people to eat. And the 20 people looking at the table groaning with enough food for 160, and everyone going “Well, shit.”

I was diagnosed with a vitamin D deficiency at one point, and I was all HOW DOES A FAIR-SKINNED PERSON IN AUSTRALIA SUFFER VITAMIN D DEFICIENCY?? Same deal. I wear so much sun protection that I was vitamin D deficient. My attitude is, I can drop the protection, get enough vitamin D and get painful sunburn which…

My understanding is that the company is being sold, but the websites will continue to operate.

POST CORRECTION

I’ve been hearing a lot about places it is legal to go topless! I’m in Australia where it’s not legal in many places, so I (wrongly) assumed that was the common standard. Glad to hear other places are more sensible!

At the Beijing Olympics a very-highly fancied swimmer from my country was beaten for the gold by literally 1/100th of a second. Since then I have pondered how exact the pools can be built, and whether that timing precision was really appropriate. Glad to have these questions answered!

I grew up in a tiny town in rural Western Australia where the Venn diagram of “private party” and “community event” was a circle. It was taken for granted that each family would “bring a plate” for any gathering. Mum (it was always the mothers) made (because everyone was too flat skint to buy anything) enough food to…

What?? If everyone brings enough to serve 8 people, your 20 person party will have food for 160. Do you mean selected people bring enough for 8? That means 3 people are catering the entire party, which is not really what a potluck is about. Sorry, I’m confused.

A huge thank you to all the staff at Jezebel who report on the bigoted bullshit that happens across so many different forums. It must be so exhausting and infuriating, especially for staffers from the affected groups. I know that general sports writing is hella sexist, but assumed reporting on fucking gold medal…

“I meant it as a compliment!” is an acceptable response...as long as it’s preceded by “I’m so sorry!” and followed by “...but it was completely the wrong thing to say, that will not happen again”. Sheesh.

My thought was that she’d been passionate about environmental issues and had specially requested the Tesla. Or maybe she saw it as a special fancy car; “he drove her up the hill in his new BMW” or “new Mustang” has quite a different ring. Dunno, though.

I thought the context made it clear, but apparently not. I’m talking about women (Muslim and non-Muslim) in Western countries only. I do not mean that sexism in Western countries is in any way comparable to the oppression and abuse that women suffer under under fundamentalist Islamic theocracies, because that is…

Sorry! I have no idea where I got the water park idea. Reading comprehension FAIL.

It’s like saying you want the constitution rewritten because it doesn’t specifically mention women, homosexuals, or minorities.
