I can’t believe how many people are not able to identify urban legends.

Can I just say here how much I love Snopes, and that the dumb shit people believe astonishes me?

I imagine this is what it’s like to work at Snopes.

You are part of an ancient thing that doesn’t know what it is, and can’t.

Anna, i’m sure you don’t need us telling you this, but please just be careful. I think we’ve gotten to the point where Trump’s candidacy has gone from joke to something scary. His hate filled rhetoric has already incited the beating of a homeless Latino man in Boston. Who knows where it will end. You do great work…

Do you acknowledge that a definite pattern of specific behavior exists among a definitely specific ethnic group called Jews?

Before the comments dissolve into angry cries of “we don’t need to be forgiven” (which, don’t get me wrong, is a fair point), it should be pointed out that this is a step in the right direction. If priests can absolve the sin, then it is in a sense less serious. If it is less serious, then it will be more acceptable.…

My biology teacher would do this and no one who was dumb enough to try it, could ever succeed at it. Until one day, a kid, who was packing a pair of brass ones, solved the problem. He filled in every blank, on every line, of the Scantron. If you mark more than one, you get it wrong. The teacher congratulated the kid,…

The judge should fine her in exactly the amount she is paid for her job. They should state that they are effectively withholding her paycheck because she isn’t doing her job. While the religious right is still going to use her as a martyr, that would make it harder for them to justify it.

Like I said in a different thread, this isn’t a joke. She’s setting a very dangerous precedent. What happens when a cop kills two gay men because that is what Leviticus tells him

If Hillary had actual dragons, she'd be so set.

Exactly. Sorry y’all, but if fucking Taylor Swift or whomever made the same statement, everyone would be tee-heeing over their pumpkin spice lattes and the “Swift #Squad 2020” memes would be abundant. Kanye is a narcissist, yeah, but so what? He IS good at what he does and he says so, just like an abundance of white…

At that point, it’s not so much, “Who will do better?” as “Who will fuck up my daily life and general civil rights slightly less?” And I have to give it to Kanye.

A couple of those examples (say, how the slaves brought important knowledge) seem less like attempts at making slavery into a positive thing, and more of a very clumsy attempt to document some kind of... agency or personhood for people who are often only depicted as helpless, faceless, no-impact victims.

I was with you until the second paragraph because that is a huge assumption to make. How did you conclude he does not know anything about ‘literally any of the issues a president has to handle.’

I don’t particularly care for ‘Ye and his tiresome brand of nonsense, but given a choice between him and a half-watt fuckwit like Trump or Carson, I’d vote for ‘Ye in a heartbeat.

I want this to actually happen so someone can ask him if he likes fish sticks.

Nicholas Hoult is already relevant by himself! Skins, X-Men, Mad Max!

WHAT A LOVELY DAY
