GOOD. Good on Mel and Sue. It drives me absolutely insane that the BBC is constantly being badgered about wasting taxpayer money while Murdoch and Co happily scream about the “fairness” of commercial TV and the possibility of sharing the license fee, but then when the Beeb can’t pony up an extra £15 MILLION to keep…

The hat’s kind of gisaeng-esque.

Halo Top was miserable - tasted like a chemical foam that had been frozen. Didn’t taste or feel like ice cream. I’m far happier having a few spoonfuls of real ice cream than eating an entire pint of this rubbish.

Like there were a shortage of ludicrous claims you could make to get people in trouble in North Korea?

I did’t mean “correct” from my point of view, I mean “correct” as in, CNN and FOX and whoever decides to spin how they want, and completely miss the reason, or don’t even discuss why he’s doing it.

I have had this driving food. It was a twice-baked potato that had been mostly cored out using a drill, the innards mixed with cheese and bacon and broccoli, and then stuffed into the potato to bake a second time.

it would get the correct attention and also the point across to people in a much better way.

When I stand for the national anthem I remember those who have fought and fallen for me and those who make it possible for me, as a woman, to play sports, make a living, and allow my voice to be heard. It’s too bad that she won’t stand for the people who have died for her so she has the right to wave a rainbow flag.

Here’s a side-by-side comparison of the man (on the left) and Dawodu (on the right), who don’t look much alike but share at least one characteristic.

I’d hope that if a woman becomes President, the first thing out of your mouth wouldn’t be how she should be defined by her husband. Damn.

sifmastat, what part of the assignment are you not getting here? From what I’m reading, students in an American History I class (prehistory - 1865) are being asked to read the account of an immigrant (sourced pre-1865) and then write a similar letter from the same time period (...pre-1865).

That is an incredibly weird obit, almost totally dedicated to the deceased’s mother, but I do enjoy this:

I really don’t get what she’s saying about body size here...?

I feel like I’ll never get over this. I’ve been crying for 9 days straight and waiting to run out of tears.

I NEVER doubted that he loved me

The best explanation I’ve come up with is that she’s acting suicidal.

Good fun for the younger site users tho!

I’m going to take the wild guess that when the cops arrived on a broiling-hot day to serve the warrant and arrest this woman, they did not give her time to change into something more appropriate.

After staring at it for a while, I think what’s happened is that in an attempt to be witty they took things you say about football, then tweaked them to sound sexual, then put them on the screen.

Those instructional slides seem contradictory. Someone football-adjacent explain to me, please?
