the proper way to refer to her is: Catherine, Duchess of Cambridge, or Her Royal Highness The Duchess of Cambridge 

Agreed. She probably laughed her ass off and was like come on now, Will, I told you to take it easy on the wine coolers.

I don’t understand this concept that wives must be angry about their husbands going out. It looked to me like he was having fun and playing around. It’s not like he was grinding up on somebody. I may be married but that doesn’t mean my husband and I don’t spend time apart with friends. My guess is Kate gives 0 fucks.

I don’t mean to be snarky, but there is a serious and relevant difference between robbery and burglary.

I’m telling y’all, it was Tyga with Kylie’s spare key.

Oh good, now we *really* know that Dave Yang did the photography; no need to cite the cosplayer or attempted character.

I think this is more of a culture clash than anything. I don’t think this sort of humor is frowned upon in Japan the way it is here. I do have to wonder why there’s outrage around this guy, though, and not the fey home designer in Hatano.

Now playing

This is a really common lesson in history classes and is actually taught, still, as a core lesson. It’s called “slaves and masters” and the context can change but it’s the same game. Generally speaking at some point the people are meant to switch sides to get both views, but often that’s left out, which makes it more

South Orange-Maplewood superintendent Dr. John J. Ramos Jr. explained that the purpose of the project was for students to contemplate “the ugly and foundational role that slavery played in Colonial America.”

This is silly. All they’ll have to do is turn over their phones and passwords, explain their political views, show all of their social media posts and follows, answer questions about their religion, win two out of three games of speed chess, describe Joni Mitchell’s hometown, and sit in a windowless room for 11 hours

Is the cute story version just the stuff about the tea party and the midnight ride and how King George was mean? What did you try to teach them?

That is an actual lesson that is still being taught today. The first teacher to do it came up with the lesson just after the assassination of MLK as a way to educate her students about the negativity of racism, and why it was wrong. She still goes around the country giving the same lesson to a wide variety of people.

That is based off of a very famous experiment- there was a documentary done about it.

The way history is taught to kids is such bullshit. I’m overseeing a student and they happen to be teaching them about the American revolution. It’s all patriots this and loyalists that, some people didn’t want to pay taxes to some other place overseas, etc. How about the fact that they would have had to give up the

Old goal: Get Ted Cruz to block me on Twitter.

The insanity is that he buys into the trope that “white” as a thing can be distinguished by color.

Why do all the advocates of white genetic superiority inevitably resemble a forgotten potato you find in the back of the pantry?

I wonder what it’s like to be so terrified, all the time, of people who don’t look like you.

Y’know, being from Kentucky, I’ve gotten used to the “cousin” jokes and the like—but, Rep. King, even here in the Bluegrass, we know that incest ain’t best, and that’s the road yer lookin’ at if ya want true genotypic and phenotypic homogeneity, ah reckon.

On a more serious note, I will never quite be able to get my
