Being “woke” is great (I hate what that word has become too)

resulted in the massacre of 1.5 Armenians

ol’ visitor stops and tries to hand me her mug.

If someone tried to hurt my cats or puppy I would probably assault them too.

As a Californian, I can honestly say we’ve been done this road before, and to that end: no. Just...no. 

boy does she have stories

It also completely upends the narrative the city is putting out there of the shooting being justified as the officer was ostensibly “protecting” the girl Bryant was fighting with. Totally non-sensical but also not shocking. 

Do I need to explain how “a list” of something is not an excuse to use the statement “overwhelming majority”

That is seriously impressive.

I think I may have to replace “asshat” with “biscuit head” as my epithet du jour. 

The Scottish government’s new nutrition guidelines aim to limit sugar intake, leading the council to remove desserts like ice cream and custard from menus, replacing them with “alternatives like brownies, muffins, gingerbread, and cookies.”

on a side note im doing way to much research on this

IIRC Ben was bangin’ the nanny. You’re right though in the respect that I think his drinking was the major issue in the marriage; the nanny was just the straw that broke the camel’s back.

That’s what I was thinking. He’s already “in the system,” as it were, it’s not like they couldn’t find him later. 

Lordy, that’s a big rabbit. 

She’s always been about doing her duty, and while I think the British monarchy is a somewhat silly institution, I respect her dedication. Also agree that it’s likely she’ll cut back significantly on her schedule. She seems to be in fairly healthy and pretty sharp mentally, but she is 94 years old after all. 

Everyone knows the best way to get young people to read a book is to ban it.

I don’t either. I’m not much of an amusement park fan, plus the idea of being surrounded by hot grumpy families in long that’s miles long is about as enticing as a root canal. I also hate Disney with a passion. 

What’s truly frightening is that $15,000 is a lot of money, but is a drop in the bucket compared to what a lot of folks are willing to spend there. There were many travel agents I worked with who had clients willingly drop six figures on a DisneyWorld vacation...every year.

I’m in the travel industry and deal with Disney Vacation Club members here and there. They are entitled assholes.
