Has nothing to do with the jersey. Learn the difference between a hip check and a clip. This was at knee level.

Great piece! Thanks so much for sharing.

Is that a raven? Looks like a (possibly juvenile) crow to me, but I'm no expert.

Hi! Question for you please. I'm a guy, and I follow any number of women on twitter who I greatly respect. I take inspiration from them, especially for how they deal with trolls/miscreants with quiet dignity, and have on a couple of occasions @'d one to simply pass on this message - a single message, saying thanks and…

Hi there. I think the server did a great job here, and that the fault lies with inconsistency in how menus are done between various restaurants. Burgers are always a bit confusing for vegetarian me: I've had a server warn me to not order the "garden burger" because at that particular restaurant it was a beef patty…

No, you're not listening. Don't do it in Chile or you end up in jail. It's a matter of national pride.

In case anyone ever sees this and thinks to try it, think again. DON'T bribe the Chilean police or you're in deep deep shit.

did this tonight, kind of. sauteed cauliflower florets until a bit tender, put in half a cup of red wine, salt & pepper, let cook five minutes, put in a few tsp crushed coriander seeds, cooked another couple of minutes. it's a beautiful thing.

This is good, very good. Another way to do it is to blanch the broccoli first in a pot of boiling water, and then fry it with the garlic and the chillies and the salt, which leaves it crunchier and more, uh, garlic-forward. I often reserve a bit of the garlic and put a tiny bit more oil in at the end in a part of the…

Question for anyone still hanging out in the comments here a day later please:

Hi there. White man speaking. Greg's comment didn't speak to any stereotypical views of white men in general. He laughed at a specific purportedly white man using the phrase "race war". After you challenged him, he then said that white men who talk about race war set him off. There's no claim that all white men do…

The least you can do is always available to you; doing a bit more than that, for this occasion, is a way of communicating that you understand that it has emotional stakes, for them, and that that means something to you.

Amazing

I actually knew someone who died of tetanus - it was apparently pretty horrible. Get your shot!!!!

Phenomenal piece, thank you for this.

I do believe some things said about me recently in accusatory manners is totally false, with people misrepresenting things.

I bike to work almost every day, and firmly believe that these people make my ride more dangerous. I can't believe some of the shit in this video.

Yeah, I think we'd be able to do that if he apologized to the people he needs to apologize to. There's no admission of guilt in his message - he's just sorry he let people down. If it were an unvarnished apology to the women he has treated like dirt then that would be much better. I'll have compassion for him after he…

My favourite, by far, is The Algebraist by Banks. It's just phenomenal, and I'm really, really upset that he never wrote the sequel he had tons of material for. I think it's the most humanist of his sci fi books, and I tear up at the final page every time.

If you're going to do that, at least spell Rielly's name right.
