I made the mistake of not realizing it was satire (I think I read it drunk), and making a legit comment about it. So every year, without fail, someone comments on my fucking 2011/2012 comment and is like “DON’T YOU REALIZE THIS IS SATIRE???!!!11!!” I want to state for the record now - GUYS, I realize now it is satire.

“Nice hat”.

Writing a prompt “fuck off” on a post-it to this whole “hair cloud” fad attempt.

Why would anyone let Steve Harvey....well....do anything?

That’s not true. Being married to a prince in the UK makes one a princess. You take the female equivalent of whatever your husband’s title is. The wife of the Duke of Cambridge is the Duchess of Cambridge. William is Duke of Cambridge, Prince William of Wales, which makes Kate Duchess of Cambridge, Princess William of

Traditionally, all wives of male members of the British Royal Family, the aristocracy and members of the public take the style and title of their husbands. Diana, Princess of Wales was not “Princess Diana” as the media called her, because she was not born a British princess. Her correct title was The Princess of Wales

Actually, every female royal spouse goes by their husband’s title. The wife of the Duke of Cambridge is the Duchess of Cambridge. The wife of the Duke of Kent is the Duchess of Kent, etc. The difference here is that Prince Michael of Kent didn’t get another title, so Princess Michael’s name and title are fairly

It’s the lesser option actually. Michael’s title means he’s descended from a king but doesn’t have his own title. It’s also one that can’t be shared with his wife, so she’s...like...Ofmichael.

Actually any wife of a prince can go by “Princess [husband-name]” - it’s a weird artifact of medieval times. Just because you marry a prince doesn’t make you a princess - you have to have the royal blood for it. That won’t stop the media from using terms like “Princess Diana” or “Princess Kate” (neither of whom were

I think talking about the need for conversation on how to move forward with these behaviors while emphasizing the importance of sidelining it until the future is fine. This is a critical moment in American history and it doesn’t need to be tamped down with such talk yet. Victims have been shamed, silenced and harmed

I’m a fan of Matt Damon’s. I was also a fan of Louis CK, Roman Polanski, and Woody Allen. Matt Damon is working really hard to make me not a fan of Matt Damon.

God. Damnit.

It saddened me to see so many people commenting in the other story that they don’t believe Takei’s accuser, even when they believe accusers in other cases.

I think people often have a hard time separating “I don’t want to believe this” from “this isn’t true.” I don’t want to believe this. Hell, I didn’t want to believe it about Cosby back when his first accusers spoke up.

Remember when we hated 2016 for killing all the famous people we loved? Good times, man.

You know, alas, yes, and I remember seeing this “funny” video of George basically grabbing and fondling this young, hot dude’s package on camera, laughing all the while, while the guy was trying to laugh it off but was clearly not into it. I do remember that, and I wish I could remember where I saw it. That went right

Yeah, that one might break me

No, please not George Takei. Goddamnit.
