Rural and exurban America are the worst. In KY, Louisville is nice. Whereas my former farming town in Connecticut has an alarming number of far right weirdos, including plenty of vocal racists.

Christ I saw that Guardian thumbnail and reflexively wiped spittle off my glasses. 

All they had to essentially do was “don’t say anything stupid” and they’d likely have won the election fairly easy with a couple of spending increase pledges, but no the Tory election campaign has potentially been killed before it even began because Jacob Rees-Mogg had to go on radio and open his mouth.

Born there. Can confirm. Also lived in Florida. Hard toss-up.

Trump is now calling his fans “Club 45.” The correct name is "Cult 45.”

No mention that those Bratz dolls were incredibly popular among Black and Latin girls?  I always felt that was part of the outrage from mainstream critics.

It’s all good, Ken’s lack of bulge never stopped me from bumping my dollies’ smooth plastic crotches together as a kid while laughing aloud at how edgy I was.

But what color was the debris?
