I thought it looked like Discworld

This is what’s wrong with America right here. This. Not Bristol Palin herself, but what she represents — the fact that so many stunningly, proudly pig-ignorant, determinedly undereducated, information-resistant people think they know enough about anything to tell others how they should think and behave.

If there is one silver lining to all of this, that kid is now hearing about how smart and creative he is from the entire world.

Hello NASA? I’m thinking of a certain kid in Irving, Texas who you definitely want to have intern with you next summer.

This country has gone insane. I blame the 24 hour news cycle.

I’m very skeptical of their story. When police take a bomb threat seriously, they evacuate the premises and send in a little robot to investigate/detonate it. This is straight up “this kid is a Muslim and an engineer which means he could grow up to be a bomb-making terrorist, so let’s give him a scare he’ll never…

That poor fucking kid. He must’ve been so proud of what he made and to have his efforts met with such racist suspicion is heartbreaking. He sounds like a great student and every teacher involved in this mess should be thoroughly ashamed.

I’d also accept: Edith, Lady Violet and Marigold walking off into the sunset as Downton burns in the foreground.

Edith owns the newspaper, marries an MP or prince, gets to say “Off with her head!” That’s the only acceptable way that happens.

Oh god I can’t STAND bitchy Mary. I’m hoping Edith knocks her off her high horse once and for all.

Just because there’s people worse than us doesn’t mean we shouldn’t bother fixing our problems.

As someone who has carried a knife nearly every day for the past 30 years, I’m afraid that you couldn’t be more wrong about the usefulness of them. It’s a rare day that I don’t use the one I carry at least once and I don’t recall stabbing myself, well...ever. Perhaps it doesn’t suit your lifestyle, and that’s ok, but…

I was once watching CNN in the ER while waiting to be cleared to leave after an asthma attack, back when Lou Dobbs had yet to be kicked off. Anyway, they flipped to a segment with him on it and this nurse happened to come in and thought she had found a kindered spirit. She starts ranting and I said “well, I’m just…

She should have checked the degree on the wall:

I am a parent of a Marching Band member of this school and I can tell you that the mentality of the school, Board of Education, and community members is that the football players are the most important part of our district. The answer to the question what “consequences” did the boys receive is 5 days OSS. Why? Because…

The other cops, the actual good guys with guns, didn’t fire their guns. Imagine that.

Resting Angry Gun Discharge Face?

I am sure the great science and math teachers at the school are treated the same way when their students beat up another fellow student for not eating pie on March 14th.
