My late father was of the Queen’s generation. He served in the British Navy during WWII and had raging PTSD that made my life growing up hell. Any suggestion that he should seek help was met with incandescent rage. His friends and relatives of the same age were no different. Seeking help was weak.

The current Democratic party fills the void left by the 1980s GOP.

All those temporarily embarrassed millionaires that don't realize they'll carry that embarrassment to their graves.

The idea that a dynasty of whey-faced cousin fuckers is worried about the “purity” of their bloodline is hilarious. What’s the matter: afraid your descendents might have healthy complexions and actual chins?

Philip has a long track record of making racist “jokes” and remarks on the public record, so much so that a comment about “dark babies” made in private would probably merit nothing more than a few knowing asides and a “there he goes again” eyeroll.

Even their name reeks of artisinal buckskin iPhone cases.

When I saw all the public histrionics and overt displays of grief during Diana’s funeral, I remember thinking, “when did we stop being a nation of stiff-upper-lip, Blitz surviving, Battle of Britain, fight-them-on-the-beaches, Dunkirk-spirit badasses and start being a nation of blubbering emo twits?”

But they’re both “bad,” you see? These people only understand “bad” and “good,” in the narrowest possible sense. Anything they don’t understand is bad. Anything that panders to their infantile notions of “God” and “country” is good.

In our society, white people are presumed to have the right to be where they are, doing what they are doing. Black people are not presumed to have these rights, so they are compelled to justify their presence and actions...if they’re lucky.

I feel for Andre Talley, but when it comes to money, there are no “gentlemen.”

Well, since one of the main duties of cops is making black people feel unwelcome in spaces whites consider their own, I’d say the uniformed ‘roid enthusiasts were doing exactly what they’re paid to do.

Its the implied message of the American Work Ethic: “Work really hard and you’ll have a chance to taste what was handed to me on a silver platter.”

Hell, the Overton window is so far right that the mainstream Democratic caucus is basically the 1980s GOP.

You monster.

Aaaand the Guardian just reported that the Palace is “investigating” the “bullying allegations.” Maybe, while they’re investigating that, they can also investigate which of them planted the story that provided the pretext for the investigation. It’s investigations all the way down!

I fully expect the final narrative to be that the Capitol insurrection was actually just a tour group that got badly overbooked due to computer error.

“Former TV actress.” That little zinger should go straight to shade court.

Child catcher?

Especially when it’s Keith Morrison intoning poetically about the dark side human nature, while ambling through wintery woodlands in a leather jacket.

I’ve always associated mustaches with the creepier end of the facial-hair spectrum, worn by the likes of past-their-prime porn stars, paedophiles, and cops.
