What prompted that disclosure? Could she smell the horniness emanating from Anon? Did he, as he noticed she was a woman, give off a vibe like a starving cartoon wolf imagining the main character as comprised entirely of sausages?

Clownshoes Churchill at it again

You’d think that, as a French company, they’d have expected this

Is the definition of English as a “French-German creole” (or even a romance-germanic creole) at all mainstream in linguistics? I was under the impression that mainstream linguistics classifies modern English firmly as West Germanic, and discounts the Normans’ infusion of French vocabulary into it as inconsequential.

Given its scarcity, helium should be more expensive, to the point where filling party balloons with it is decadent profligacy.

Truck nuts for audiophiles

It’s not meant to be funny, it’s meant to be a salve to a specific kind of soul. If you don’t feel the effects, that kind of soul isn’t yours.

Where’s the lie?

Everything old is new again

I know it’s anachronistic, but I’m imagining The Cure’s “Killing An Arab” as the music

Ireland has been independent for about a century and outside the Gaeltacht, everybody speaks English, and yet Irish (i.e. Gaelic) is still taught to all pupils and used on official documents. In Wales (which, for most administrative purposes, is a part of an entity known as England-and-Wales), signage has to be in both English and Welsh, and official agencies have to provide services in Welsh; there are few monolingual Welsh speakers and anecdotally the popularity of Welsh of said to alternate generationally (i.e., if your parents don’t speak it, it’s cool).

Representation is important in a pluralist democracy, and the people who want to eliminate minority language support to “better fund schools and hospitals” or whatever generally aren’t in favour of funding public services either (much in the same way that those who want to kick foreigners out to “help our own” overwhelmingly tend to be against actually helping our own), but “let’s get rid of te reo to fund tax cuts for the rich” doesn’t sound as compelling

It’d be hard to run from either federal prison or the gilded penthouse of the Trump Tower in Moscow or Riyadh.

Bjenny Montero rocks.

Is anyone tracking Harris’ polling against Clinton’s from the same time 8 years ago?

They made some shitty tap-the-screen game with collectibles for the iPhone maybe 10 years ago, though the less said about it the better. My guess is that it was a fuck-you to Takahashi-san.
