Maybe she meant that he has good vision. Maybe his little weasel squint is a calculated attempt to protect his eyes from the sun and bright lights to maintain optimal vision.

I re-watched the movie (The Birdcage) recently and was wincing a lot at the racist and homophobic stereotypes. Even Robin Williams couldn’t soften the blow. This is one of those stories where you can accurately pick an all-white writer/writing team a mile off.

I’ve had Thai massages where my therapist sat/knelt on my thighs (with their knees splayed and their feet sort of touching) and lower back to apply pressure to the muscles to relax them. I’m usually face down, wearing underwear and my bits are of the ‘innie’ variety, but maybe he was doing something similar without…

I can’t believe you think her comparable to Debbie Harry or Joan Jett. I mean, all three have like two arms and legs (as far as I know) and sing, but Pink is nothing.

That lawsuit decision basically supports exactly your stance, my friend

“Is this what you think of me?” I asked him. “You think I’m out here passing my pussy out like Communion wafers?”

“We are thrilled to welcome the musical talents of the caliber of Mike Campbell and Neil Finn into the Mac family. With Mike and Neil, we’ll be performing all the hits that the fans love, plus we’ll be surprising our audiences with some tracks from our historic catalogue of songs. Fleetwood Mac has always been a…

1. How fucking long does it take to get divorced in Australia.

Unhelpful but obligatory Australian comment: I don’t understand how it is legal for people to work such a strenuous and demanding job for less than (a living) minimum wage. Obvs we have labour violations here with asshole employers who don’t pay what they are legally required to, but it blows my mind that earning a…

OMG, I forgot about Rat king and your reminding me of it is my only criticism of your very comprehensive and worthy comment about shit houses.

I think the umbrellas look like (Catholic) nuns and don’t get any impression of hijabi (Muslim) women, even after reading the headline.

Proof that crimes against chicken are a white people cultural tradition: when I clicked through to The New Yorker article in question, my pop up invited me to “Keep up with the cultural conversation” by subscribing to their newsletter.

I read a conspiracy theory somewhere (Reddit probs) that Caillou has leukaemia or something and that’s why he’s bald and no one tells him off for being a little jerk. Or he’s the ghost of a kid who had leukaemia and no one can see him to discipline him.

Or any journey. Overuse of the word journey should be a misdemeanour.

I mean, I know I am washing my hands and toys compulsively, but I know anecdotally that others are not and it makes me want to vom.

I feel pretty confident that money should not be stored in the vagina.

Hopefully these lines will be more successful than dVB was.

Great take! I always related to Mary Bennett - she tries to be virtuous, studious and embody the values society tells her are important when her sisters are either pretty and popular or vapid and spoiled and she gets nothing in the way of a happy ending. I have also embarrassed myself trying to seem more accomplished…
