oh my god I thought that was a lawn mower at first and was horrified.

Oh... wow. I responded to your response to shygurl before seeing this. You’re kind of going around insulting everyone. : /
... you’re being super confrontational and, honestly, insulting to a person who didn’t actually say anything insulting, Helens.
I agree with the other currently-pending-folk. Respectfully, I think you’re over-reacting.
This is going to backfire on Russia before long - they were caught so badly with USA that they can’t just do it and pretend it’s just some hooligans anymore. All they’re doing is ensuring that non-Russians increasingly despise the Putin administration for meddling in their countries’ politics, and I suspect that,…
Just a small thing - not a general critique of the article, but one thing that’s not quite right. You mentioned that “redneck” originally came from those workers who wore red bandannas around their necks - while this eventually came about, the term predates that, and this whole event.
Okay but do you have *definitive* proof that they’re not air holes? AND NO SCIENCE ARTICLES THANK YOU, we all know that the scientists are in the pocket of Big Squirrel.
I’m offended by any ritual or holiday that celebrates anything as awful tasting as asparagus.
According to the Catholic church, it’s not symbolic - the priest is literally turning the bread and wine into the flesh and blood of Christ.
She clearly meant that it cost (at least roughly) as much as a month of rent, and that she wasn’t choosing a festival over paying her rent.
I’m perhaps in an odd position, because I quite disliked the movie (despite generally being cool with zombie movies), enjoyed the book (with a few quibbles), but didn’t read the book until AFTER I saw the movie.
... the Elle article on Swift’s place shows a picture labelled as “the library”... is that what they’re calling it, or what Swift’s calling it? It seems a bit grandiose to say that a few filled bookshelves turns a room into a “library”- it would mean my apartment counts as a “library”... if, er, I bothered to get…
Wilson’s write-up, to be honest, largely confused me, but she links to this article at the bottom:
I actually rather *like* the relatively frequent #1s - there are plenty of comics I’m kind of interested in but don’t want to get into at issue #26 or something. The #1s at Marvel aren’t generally reboots or whatnot, they simply delineate one story arc from the next for a single character (or team). I know that…
“No, he doesn’t get to revise his own history.”
I often kinda wish celebrities would talk *less* about politics - simply due to the fact that your typical celebrity... like, a musician, actor, athlete? There is no specific reason why these sorts of people should have any more influence on our political thoughts and feelings than Bob or Sue down the street. Plenty…
I don’t know *precisely* about the motivation for the smiling, but the “WHY” to the ad for rewards for runaway slaves...
I had never heard of El Mozote before - looked it up as you mentioned it. Thanks for cluing us in about it - hideous : (
Cherith Cutestory’s posts match up with what I’ve read, personally. Had the British won the war, they surely would not have forced Americans to give up slavery, as slavery was certainly still legal in broader Britain for some time. It IS perhaps the case that slavery may have been ended sooner had the American…
