I think this is just a flex on Trump

It’s a common side effect of having a good sense of rhythm

While a tool that extends your reach is useful, when dealing with a difficult to reach spider, your best asset is the element of surprise!

Woman used as an adjective like this sounds so wrong to me (probably because it isn’t an adjective). If you wouldn’t say man voter, man driver, men reporters, etc., then why would you say woman voter, women drivers, woman reporter? Just because some people use ‘female’ in a way that you object to shouldn’t make all uses of it objectionable. Do you want a world in which we can say ‘male patients’, but have to say ‘woman and girl patients’ instead of female patients? Why??

I still think his point could have been made twice as convincingly through the magic of buying two of them

I do appreciate comments like these, which is unfortunate; I would have enjoyed replying to this with “Jark!”

Seems pretty good for 1.1 x .9, and for .9 x .8

I guess values must be pretty close

Pumpkin pie is always made with squash. Occasionally, those squash are pumpkins

After some thought, I’ve decided that we should refer to this apparent lapse by journalists as “Oceangate-gate-gate”

After decades of journalists attaching the suffix “gate” to anything even remotely scandalous, I was disappointed that I never heard anyone embrace the full stupidity of this practice by referring to this story as “Oceangate-gate”

Oh, yeah, his home life is a bit rough. Everett’s wife was pretty big on domestic violence, at least over the course of the years of the comic that I have seen. Typically, Everett would make some remark that offended her, then BAM!

She was at least as violent as Maggie was with Jiggs in Bringing Up Father, and her self-righteousness made it all the worse

Eh, it could be non-radioactive next week. That’s not very likely, but it could be

Videos shared by researchers show how the elephants respond to call recordings addressed to them. In one, an elephant named Margaret appears to almost immediately perk up to a rumble recording addressed to her.

It’s amazing to me that elephants use, among I would assume others, the name Margaret.

Ah, yes, oh so reliable

Don’t worry. The good folks at Boeing have assured us that it is all perfectly safe.

Are you trying to suggest that your use of punctuation is sarcastic?

And while I broadly agree with your point, it is far too easy for law enforcement to tack on additional charges like resisting arrest. And, yes, in most states resisting arrest is also a misdemeanor, but incidents can be raised to felony resisting arrest if they involve assault on an officer. Unfortunately, it is easy for any innocent physical contact with police to be interpreted as assault, if an officer decides to portray it that way. The truth matters, but so does ACAB

Economic issues, of course. Yes, politicians eventually follow any social issue that becomes popular enough. Democrats ran away from any real support of labor decades ago
