Lord Darnley, the second husband of Mary Queen of Scots was epically butthurt that she wouldn’t grant him the Crown Matrimonial. This would have given him equal power with her and meant he got to keep the throne if he outlived her. As she also had a strong claim to the English throne, this was a big deal. …

...... Did you mean to say “Help! Help! I’m being repressed!”

They will be Queen Consorts, not Queen Reagent, like Elizabeth II is.

lol can you imagine if Prince Phillip tried to pull this shit on Elizabeth II?

I think there is speculation that Camilla will be queen when Charles ascends to the throne. Wasn’t Diana slated to be queen? And won’t Kate eventually?

It seems weird to me that someone who is a member of the monarchy would not understand how monarchies work.

This is next level masculinity so fragile.

The headline made him sound cute and whoever cited him like a killjoy. 2,000 bottles, though? That’s enough to make me a killjoy too. Take out a personal ad.

If you get any joy out of advocating police violence you should not be president.

If you get ANY joy out of being violent you should not be a police officer.

I mean...I don’t want to judge (ok, I want to judge), but this sounds like kind of a failure of parenting to me. I’m not going to say that parents can prevent kids from liking what they’re going to like, but the fact that the kid is saying things like “you seem nice” and “I don’t know why everyone doesn’t like you”…

But this 9 year old says he thinks Orange is “nice.” I’m no expert in children, but I’m guessing most 9 year olds don’t experience Orange’s demeanor or insults as “nice.” And just like I wouldn’t allow my child to dress up as any other dangerous, hateful, racist, sexist person, I would not allow him to dress up as…

I’m a teacher. That’s a well argued paper from a 2nd grader. Seriously, I often get “X is bad because it’s bad” as an argument from much older kids. Counterpoint: Pickle could be president, because qualifications don’t matter (apparently). All he has to do is marry rich enough.

The sharing economy is one of the most dystopian things about the 21st century. People in the US see it as a new, shiny thing because it is cloaked in technology. And also because these startups have articulated the relationship between vendors and clients using the language of friendship.

I barely take cabs anyway, but I hate the ride-sharing model. When I have to take a car somewhere, I’d prefer it be someone with a hack license or is an employee, not an independent contractor. At least that way I feel like there’s SOME accountability.

When my parents visited from Ohio, they were absolutely squicked out by jumping into a Lyft for the first time. My mom said ‘So we’ just going to hop in the back of some dude’ accura?’

A big reason McCain is getting the accolades is because he disrupted his surgery recovery to vote to begin this 3-ring circus. I’ll never forgive him for that. This mess didn’t need to happen.

Eh, I doubt it will shake out to any real backlash for him. He’s not going to run again ever so he doesn’t need to worry about that. And attacking the war hero with terminal brain cancer is not a good look so most of the ire is probably still going to go to Collins and Murkowski.
